Warner Bros. has now confirmed the release date for their new take on Stephen King‘s vampire tale Salem’s Lot which is coming exclusively to theaters later this September, marking the first time the story has come to the big screen, with the previous adaptations both being “made for TV”.
It’s been a year since the news broke that the adaptation was in the works with horror heavy hitter James Wan serving as producer for the movie from Warnes Bros. and New Line, which was written and directed by another horror legend, Gary Dauberman (IT, Annabelle Comes Home, The Nun). Roy Lee and Mark Wolper will also produce, with Dauberman serving as executive producer.
In the film, “Haunted by an incident from his childhood, author Ben Mears returns to his hometown of Jerusalem’s Lot in search of inspiration for his next book, only to discover the town is being preyed upon by a bloodthirsty vampire and his Loyola servant.”
Lewis Pullman, Makenzie Leigh, Alfre Woodard, Bill Camp, Nicholas Crovetti, Jordan Preston Carter, John Benjamin Hickey, William Sadler, Spencer Treat Clark, Cade Woodward, Debra Christofferson, and Pilou Asbaek are set to star.
Salem’s Lot will sink its fangs into theaters nationwide on September 9, 2022. If you haven’t seen the original 1979 “Salem’s Lot” miniseries, from Tobe Hooper (Texas Chainsaw Massacre), you can watch it now on Prime Video or watch it free on Tubi. Here’s a look back at the original trailer.
