By Max has unveiled the trailer for the long-delayed film adaptation of Stephen King’s 1975 supernatural horror novel “Salem’s Lot”. The feature will premiere on Max on October 3rd.
Haunted by an incident from his childhood, author Ben Mears (Lewis Pullman) returns to his hometown of Jerusalem’s Lot in search of inspiration for his next book.
He soon discovers the town is being preyed upon by a bloodthirsty vampire and his loyal servant. The film is reportedly set in 1975, the same year in which King’s novel was published.
Makenzie Leigh, Alfre Woodard, Bill Camp, John Benjamin Hickey, Nicholas Crovetti, Jordan Preston Carter, William Sadler, Spencer Treat Clark, Cade Woodward, Debra Christofferson, and Pilou Asbaek also star.
Veteran horror scribe Gary Dauberman wrote and directed the movie which James Wan produced. It marks the third official adaptation of King’s second novel following Tobe Hooper’s TV mini-series in 1979 and the Rob Lowe-led mini-series in 2004.
The film made headlines yesterday when it was revealed by Dauberman that Stephen King’s endorsement of the film on social media may have saved the project from being dumped by the studio.
