For those of you excited about the new film adaptation of Stephen King’s Salem’s Lot, you’ll be happy to learn that the Motion Picture Association's Classification and Rating Administration, have given the movie an "R" for "bloody violence and language." So if you were hoping for bloody vampire violence, that’s what you’re going to get.
I’m a huge fan of the book and the original adaptation, and this is one of my most anticipated films to be released. I watched a trailer for this movie earlier this year and it was amazing! It looked like director Gary Dauberman did a great job of developing this movie! Unfortunately, the movie was removed from the Warner Bros. release schedule for some reason, and we still have no idea when it will be released.
Lewis Pullman (Bad Times at the El Royale, Top Gun: Maverick) stars in Salem’s Lot, and he will take on the role of author Ben Mears, “a man who returns to his childhood home of Jerusalem’s Lot in search of inspiration for his next book only to discover his hometown is being preyed upon by a vampire, leading him to band together with a ragtag group that will fight the evil presence.”
When previously talking about the movie, Pullman said: "It's a scary thing doing these remakes, man. It's like, this and [Top Gun: Maverick], there's such pressure, it's a hard concoction to conjure up to make it successful. But Gary Dauberman, the director, is really keen on doing justice to the book. But also, the previous adaptation was a two-parter, because it's such a hefty book and there are so many different moving parts and so many characters. So there are some parts where Gary had to press and find what was really at the heart of the movie to keep in, but for the most part, he's really true to the book and keeping a lot of the original dialogue in there. He's a Stephen King hound dog so he doesn't wanna do Stephen dirty."
He added: "So I think it's in good hands, Gary's a really smart guy who has a keen eye for things. I think, not just lean on the jump scares, but lean on the more conceptual and visual things that, rather than a shock that fades out of your body in the next five minutes, something that's more visual, like an imprint that burnt into your retinas as a disturbing image that you'll wake up in the middle of the night that you can't shake out of your head."
The movie also stars Jordan Preston Carter as Mark Petrie, Alfre Woodard as Dr. Cody, Makenzie Leigh as Susan Norton, John Benjamin Hickey as Father Callahan, andWilliam Sadler in an as of now unannounced role. James Wan is a producer on the film.
