The rest of the ensemble includes Alfre Woodard ( Annabelle), Bill Camp ( The Outsider), William Sadler ( The Shawshank Redemption), Makenzie Leigh ( The Assistant) and Spencer Treat Clark ( Glass). We've got Lewis Pullman, coming fresh off Top Gun: Maverick, leading the way as Ben Mears.

have assembled quite the cast for this one. While the vampires claim more victims, Mears convinces a small group of believers to combat the undead.'Īs mentioned, Dauberman and Warner Bros. 'Author Ben Mears returns to 'Salem's Lot to write a book about a house that has haunted him since childhood only to find his isolated hometown infested with vampires.

For those who may not be familiar, a logline for the book reads as follows: So, while Hooper's version undoubtedly has its fans, this figures to be more of a horror event and, perhaps, another blockbuster based on King's work, if all goes well. In both cases, the films aired on TV and weren't made by a major studio with theaters in mind. 'Salem's Lot has been adapted a couple of times, first in 1979 by Texas Chain Saw Massacre director Tobe Hooper and again in 2004 as a miniseries. But with the novel's on-sale date set for August 2, we have every reason to believe that the movie is still on target to hit its current September release. Plus, the cover of the novel (which we've included below) kind of offers our first real look at the new adaptation, even if it is just an eerie image that doesn't tell us all that much. The top of the new cover even says 'now a major motion picture' to drive the point home. So, why haven't we heard more about this officially? Is it still happening this year?

What's more, none other than Gary Dauberman, who wrote It and directed Annabelle Comes Home, is in the director's chair with an A-list cast.

Believe it or not, we are supposed to be getting a theatrically released remake of Stephen King's classic vampire tale ' Salem's Lot in just a few months.
