When it comes to adaptations of books to screen, Stephen King wins hands down. Many are calling this a remake which technically is correct, it was released as a TV mini series in 1979 starring David Soul and James Mason. This time around it’s a feature film that’s heading to the cinema directed Gary Dauberman. Whose debut directorial feature was Annabelle Comes Home, he is no stranger to King’s books he wrote the script for the IT remake.
Salem’s Lot stars Lewis Pullman (Bad Times At The El Royale) is Author Ben Mears. He heads back to his childhood hometown Jerusalem’s Lot for inspiration for his next book only to find a vampire preying on the residents.
Here’s hoping this is ‘fang-tastic’! (sorry bad dad joke), posting the trailer less in 4 weeks before release, is that a bad sign? Hopefully not!
