The new film adaptation of Stephen King’S Salem’s Lot is finally about to come out and present itself to the public!
After more than two years of waiting, Warner Bros. will finally release New Line’s adaptation of Max on October 3.
It’s about time, but it’s a shame the studio isn’t releasing this movie in theaters. I still can’t believe the studio is depriving horror fans of the experience of watching this movie on the big screen. Warner Bros. is the worst.
Lewis Pullman (Bad Times at the El Royale, Top Gun: The Legend Continues) stars in Salem’s Lotand will take on the role of author Ben Mears”a man who returns to his childhood home of Jerusalem’s Lot in search of inspiration for his next book, only to discover that his hometown is overrun by a vampire, prompting him to join a diverse group to fight the evil presence.”
When previously it was spoken of by Gary Dauberman-directed by Pullman, said: “It’s a scary thing to do these remakes, man. It’s like, this and [Top Gun: Maverick]There’s so much pressure that it’s hard to figure out a trick to make it work.
“But Gary Dauberman, the director, is really keen to do the book justice. But even the previous adaptation was in two parts, because it’s such a big book and there are so many moving parts and so many characters.
“So there are some parts where Gary had to push and find what was really at the heart of the movie to keep, but for the most part, he’s really faithful to the book and keeps a lot of the original dialogue. He’s a Stephen King sleuth, so he doesn’t want to hurt Stephen.”
He added: “So I think it’s in good hands, Gary is a really smart guy who has a keen eye for things. I think it’s not just about the jump scares, but the more conceptual and visual things that, rather than a shock that fades from your body in the next five minutes, something more visual, like a fingerprint that’s burned into your retinas like a haunting image that will wake you up in the middle of the night and you can’t get it out of your head.”
King was impressed with the film after seeing it, and his support helped get it released. He previously said, “Between you and me, Twitter, I’ve seen the new SALEM’S LOT and it’s pretty good. Old school horror film: slow build, big payoff.
“I don’t know why WB is holding it back; not that it’s embarrassing or anything. Who knows. I just write the f–king stuff.”
King had already spoken about the film several months ago, saying: “It feels like a horror version of slow-burn movies like THE GREAT ESCAPE. It develops very well.
“There are some deviations from the book that I disagree with, but overall, faithful. Best scene: Danny Glick in the hospital, trying to rip open a blood bag. Glick’s scene could have been directed by John Carpenter in his prime.”
I’m thrilled to finally have the opportunity to see this film, I just wish it was a film I could see on the big screen.
