Gary Dauberman Says Salem’s Lot Will Stay True To King’s Story

One concern of Stephen King fans is if an adaptation (and there’s a bunch) will adhere to the source material. Screenwriter Gary Dauberman eased those worries today when he confirmed that his and James Wan‘s upcoming adaptation of King’s novel Salem’s Lot will be as faithful to the original tale as possible. The IT and Annabelle Comes Home writer had this to say: I like to be as true to the story as I possibly can until it gets a little too unwieldly for a movie. I’m very, very excited to be a part of that and tackle it. It hasn’t had the big screen treatment yet, which is how I felt about it. It’s so fun to play around with vampires and make something trulys cary with vampires. I haven’t seen that in a long, long time, and I’m excited for people to see it.” While the 1979 Tobe Hooper-directed TV adaptation of King’s novel was scary, it was

Review: ‘Jurassic World Evolution: Claire’s Sanctuary’

It’s time to go back to the park and help Claire in the latest Jurassic World: Evolution DLC Claire’s Sanctuary. Bryce Dallas Howard returns to voice her role from the “Jurassic World” series. In this DLC you’re helping Claire in starting a new park known as “Sanctuary” after Mount Sibo erupted. Along with bringing in surviving dinosaurs to Sanctuary, you are tasked with developing the new Paleobotany program where you can grow prehistoric plants in a new greenhouse building. The plants grown in the greenhouse can be used in feeders to feed your herbivores but it’s not as easy as it sounds. Some plants are harmful to certain species while others are not. The dinos that eat the wrong plants can have their lifespan shortened; this adds a whole new level of problem-solving to the game. One of the coolest additions to the game is the Jurassic Tours, an off-road truck tour that takes your guests right into the enclosures

A while back, I told you about Another Sight, well thanks to the folks at Lunar Great Wall Studios and Toplitz Productions gave me the opportunity to review this marvelous piece of interactive art! Another Sight is a side-scrolling puzzle game that takes place in the London underground. Players take on the role of Kit (Catherine) who’s stuck under the streets of Victorian London after an accident while visiting a worksite with her Father.

Penny Dreadful: City Of Angels Rounds Out Cast

“Mad Men” actor Michael Gladis (pictured below) has joined the cast of Showtime’s upcoming “Penny Dreadful” spin-off “Penny Dreadful: City of Angels” alongside Daniel Zovatto (Don’t Breathe) Lorenza Izzo ( The Green Inferno), and Natalie Dormer (“Game of Thrones”), Deadline reports. From the original series’ creator, writer and executive producer John Logan, the series is a “spiritual” descendent of the Victorian-era London series “Penny Dreadful“.

When a grisly murder rocks the city, Detective Tiago Vega (Zovatto) finds himself entwined in an epic story that reflects the rich history of Los Angeles: from the building of the city’s first freeways and its deep traditions of Mexican-American folklore to the dangerous espionage actions of the Third Reich and the rise of radio evangelism. Before long, Tiago and his family are
