It was just the other day that we shared with you guys two new character posters for the upcoming live-action adaptation of Stephen King's THE DARK TOWER, featuring The Gunslinger and The Man in Black. Today we have news straight from the mouth of Mr. King himself regarding what is sure to be a classic cameo.

Stephen King on Cujo's THE DARK TOWER cameo:

If viewers who are familiar with my work look very closely, they might see Cujo. Keep an eye out for Cujo in New York City.”

On top of that awesome bit of news, King was also asked how he feels that two of his most famous novels are not only getting big-budget feature adaptations but that the films are set to be released a mere few weeks apart.

Stephen King on THE DARK TOWER and IT:

I thought that the trailer was terrific, and I’ve seen the movie, and I think it’s also terrific. I think people are going to be very pleased with both that and The Dark Tower. I’m very fortunate that these two movies are opening only weeks apart, and both are very good.”

Now, more than likely CUJO's cameo in the upcoming THE DARK TOWER film will be a walk-on role, like his cameo in the awesome King anthology CAT'S EYE. But, hey, you never know. Maybe The Gunslinger and/or Jake will have to do a bit of battle with the monster dog. Even if the location and timeline make zero sense…

We'll let you know more about CUJO's cameo and all other ties to the King universe in all of his upcoming works. Until then let us know what you think of CUJO visiting THE DARK TOWER on Facebook, Twitter, and/or Instagram!

THE DARK TOWER film synopsis:

There are other worlds than these. Stephen King's The Dark Tower, the ambitious and expansive story from one of the world's most celebrated authors, makes its launch to the big screen. The last Gunslinger, Roland Deschain (Idris Elba), has been locked in an eternal battle with Walter O'Dim, also known as the Man in Black (Matthew McConaughey), determined to prevent him from toppling the Dark Tower, which holds the universe together. With the fate of the worlds at stake, good and evil will collide in the ultimate battle as only Roland can defend the Tower from the Man in Black.

THE DARK TOWER is directed by Nikolaj Arcel and stars Idris Elba, Matthew McConaughey, Tom Taylor, Fran Kranz, Jackie Earle Haley, Katheryn Winnick, and Abbey Lee.

THE DARK TOWER hits theaters nationwide August 4th.
