Copyright problems are something that most people watching movies do not think about it often, yet they often cast a shadow over the studio and directors who want to do something. In the case of director Oz Perkins' The upcoming adaptation of Steven King's story "Monkey", It started by obtaining the author's story's rights of copyright. Unfortunately for Perkins and Neon, the studio supports this particular film, the problems have not stopped here.

In a recent conversation with SFX magazine (through Gamesradar. "When I was given the task, the producer said:" Oh, by the way, Disney owns the Kimbals for the sake of (the story of toy toy, "Perkins, Perkins explained.

It is not clear exactly which producer Perkins was referring, although Horror Maestro Jameseims Van ("Saw", "Conjuring") is the main producer of "Monkey". Also worth noting that The movie "Toy Story" Perkins alluded It was almost certainly "Toy Story 3" in 2010, ie. The film in which the Bang "Story of Toys" encountered a toy with a cimbal (aka ololi chimpanet) identical to the one described in King's original story.

The film version of "Monkey", however, focuses on a pair of twin brothers (a "sweet tooth" actor Christian converi as children) who find a mysterious monkey for the wind in his youth, resulting in a series of shame that breaks family. 25 years later, the same wicked monkey returns, starting a new murderous fever forcing the relaxed brothers (now played by the Starwar of the White Lotos Theo Jameseims as an adult) to face the cursed toy once again.

So what did Perkins do? The solution he appeared was relatively simple (if something obvious). Instead of using Kimbali, he gave his monkey a little drum to win to win when the death was behind the corner. As Perkins explained, this seemingly frustrating question turned into a positive for the film:

"That (can't) be Kimbali. What if it was a drum? It's one of those things where the restriction becomes an opportunity. If you are making movies and you're not ready for that proverb then you are in a real problem! 'I was like,' hey , it's wonderful.

This is just a window in everything that comes into making a movie what it is. It is a combination of a million decisions (like this) that can affect the outcome, many of which do not have to be in the director's control. In the case of "Monkey", some tragedies of Perkins' life also affect the script. It is a combination of external influence, in this case a problem with copyright and the director's view that makes the film what it is. King's story was just just jumping.

"Strange things" kind of angle in the market for "It's like films from the 80's, it's like" Gremines ", it's like Spielberg! " - And he did so well and so successfully," Perkins noted in the same interview, revealing why he changed the movie from that of the source. "Initially, the film I wrote was set in the 1980s, with children's work in the 1950s, because it felt a lot of Steven King. But of course (the films "IT") they had already done so, and "Stranger Things" took it out, so we moved it to the 90's and the present. "

"Monkey" opens in theaters on February 21, 2025.
