By The fate of New Line’s new film adaptation of Stephen King’s early novel “Salem’s Lot” has finally been revealed.
Warner Bros. Discovery has announced it will debut the vampire thriller on the streaming service Max later this year. No date was given, but a fourth quarter release is reportedly likely.
There has long been speculation the Gary Dauberman-directed film was a title that would become a vaulted tax write-off ala “Batgirl,” but that’s not the case it seems.
Hints that it might jump to Max emerged in October but were denied at the time and only confirmed now. The film has effectively been finished since mid-late 2022.
Lewis Pullman stars as author Ben Mears, a man who returns to his hometown of Jerusalem’s Lot only to find it is slowly being taken over by vampires. Alfre Woodard, Bill Camp, William Sadler, Makenzie Leigh, John Benjamin Hickey, Pilou Asbæk, Jordan Preston Carter, and Spencer Treat Clark also star.
Veteran horror scribe Gary Dauberman wrote and directed the movie which James Wan produced.
