- In September of 2021, writer/director Gary Dauberman went into production on a new adaptation of Stephen King's novel Salem's Lot. While it was initially set to be released in 2022, Warner Bros decided to push it back and has yet to confirm a release date. Here is everything we know about the movie so far.

I have the 1979 version. With this, they got it right the first time.
I recently finished this book not long ago and it’s easily one of Kings best books, i really hope this movie doesn’t get deleted
I agree the classics were a simpler time
It IS one of his best, and if they’ve f*cked up this remake I’ll be one of a lot of people who will be super angry 😤
Salem's Lot is not really a jump scare kind of story. It's filled with spooky scenes and dread. If it's done properly and not schlock, then it could be a horror movie for the ages. The book introduces a lot of characters, some you hate, some you love, and those you simply feel sorry for, especially when they're turned. Even the town and the old house on the hill were characters. Don't let it become a letdown like the most recent IT two-parter was (to me at least).
Yeah IT was shit tbh. There was a TV show of salems lot that was a 2 parter I remember being half good.
I saw the original version of Salem’s Lot when I was 11 - it scared the living shits out of me. Loved the book.
Me too...watched it with my brothers when it first aired in the UK...id just turned 11....watching the glick boy floating through the window and the first part ending with Larry crockett running out the house into the master...proper scared (but excited to be able to stay up and watch it) shitless. its all everyone talked about at school the next day..I think because it was set in modern rather than victorian times was what made it worse....David Soul was brilliant as the reluctant hero.....I still love it now at 55 years old....Great memories .
The original tv movie with David Soul was awesome.
Warner Bros needs to end this very bad habit of getting creative people together to make something worth seeing, only to cancel it and turn it into a tax write-off.
And I thought Lionsgate and Sony were shit studios...
I was looking forward to it!! Who knows what’s gonna happen now. This movie is an easy financial success whether it’s good or bad. WTF !!!! Just get it out there in theaters NOW!!!
As soon as i hear reshoots and delays i see red flags.
...and you would be 100% correct.
Salem`s Lot is set in 1975? Hell YEAH!!
Salem's lot is one of my all time favorite books and movies. Can't wait for this one.
you might want to lower your expectations. The goal was to redo it with a woke cast not to tell the story. That's why it's sat on a shelf for two years. Dr. Cody is now a black woman. Mark Petrie is now Black. Those were the priorities in filming the story. The push to redo everything for the sheer sake of casting minorities to push a social justice agenda is getting tiring and it's why so many films are failing. People don't want this crap shoved down our throats. People can't save their breath saying that Stephen King approved of the changes. What else is that woke POS going to say. The book was fantastic. Sadly in this world we will never see a faithful film.
What did Stephen King think?
SK: Did the check clear? That's what I think about.
I heard King likes it.
I laughed way too hard at this😆😆😆
@@garrettpeck4437 but did king see it before the reshoots? Or after? Coz I've heard the Ben Mears character dies towards the end of the movie. Apparently that's still in the " final " edit/cut. Mears(Lewis Pullman) pops his clogs, leaving only Mark Petrie (Jordan Preston carter) and Dr Cody (Alfre Woodard) alive. Matt Burke dies of heart failure as in the novel and previous two screen adaptations. Realy been looking forward to Dauberman's take on what I think is king's finest novel to date. So give us the darn movie Warner Bros !! 😡
They better release it, or it will be the biggest fu to Stephen King and us as fans. King has seen it and loves it
It'll be released but it won't be in theatres. It's going directly to streaming.
@@josebro352 nope! Wrong! Heard it on pretty good authority recently this thing is still going the theatrical route, as originally intended! But they may be keeping it back for the Halloween season, as Robert Eggars highly anticipated Nosferatu is due out at some point this year and at least one other vampire flick. And I must agree and indeed conceed I do think the Halloween season would be the ideal time to release Dauberman's highly anticipated Salem's Lot, but I was hoping to see it much sooner 🎃
@@johnbleakley4125 Well if they release it around the same time as Eggers' Nosferatu it would be a smart decision. Movie goers will definitely be in a vampire mood after seeing Eggers' film.
He says that about everything
I just don't think a 113 minute run time is sufficient to effectively tell this story. I will definitely watch it on streaming out of curiosity more than anticipation, but I would not go to a theater to see it.
I would love to see the sort of new "Salem's Lot" loved the TV 2 day depiction...excellant.
How difficult is it for a studio like Warners to turn a brilliant yet straightforward story like Salems Lot into a good movie then release it? Quite difficult, apparently. David Soul nailed it back in the 70s.
First of all, William Sadler is Parkins Gillespie in the new movie, and a certain Cassidy Neal is Nolly Gardner, Gillespie's trusted deputy in the small town of Jerusalem's Lot. Ive had this " confirmed " by a certain " supporting " cast member. Secondly, ive also been recently informed those nice folks at warner Bros are seriously considering giving this thing a theatrical release, as originally intended, followed by a streaming release on Max (formally HBO Max). So there you have it!!! 🙂
Will drop some information at cinemacon?
I heard that also
I saw the original miniseries when it came out, and I caught the remake as well. I didn’t read the book until after I had seen them both, and it definitely needs to be set in the 70s. Not only because that was the original setting, but modern technology has changed how we interact with horror, and something like Salems Lot needs a more “old fashioned” setting.
yes why not hard to beat the tobe hooper version such a masterpiece
That was really scary for its time & it was on TV!
I have the OG and the 2004 version in my collection. Still waiting for this one.
Regardless of its quality, I'm glad it's coming out. WB really needs to be stopped from deleting all their movies.
While not a fan of...well _any_ of the Gary Dauberman affiliated projects mentioned, I'm absolutely looking forward to seeing this. It's frankly enraging that studios like WB and Disney have gone all-in on the despicable practice of binning finished films in order to take the tax write-off. If you've committed to making a film, it should be guaranteed a release, even if only on a streaming platform.
The '79 original is great. Why make Yet another remake? Aren't there enough remakes already? How about something fresh and original?
Can't wait.
Could William Sadler be Jason Burke, played by Lew Ayers in the 1979 version? He [in]famously encounters a vampire in a rocking chair.
Bill Sadler is constable Parkins Gillespie and a certain Cassidy Neal is Nolly Gardner, Gillespie's trusted deputy. I've had this '' confirmed " recently. And Bill Camp is highschool teacher Matthew Burke in the new one. I personally felt Sadler would have made a terrific Father Callahan, but John Benjamin Hickey is playing that role. Don't really have a problem with that as I happen to think John Benjamin is a darn fine actor.
Teacher. Look at me. Looook at me.
I just watched the original Salem's Lot yesterday and I'm watching part two now. I bought the remake a couple years ago but haven't watched it I might do that tomorrow
If you meant Return to Salem's Lot, that actually isn't anything to do with the original, it was just someone using the title to get people to watch it... It's not a bad film though on its own. But not SK related. The Rob Lowe version is pretty good, but nothing compares to the original.
I am in a rare group who like the 2004 version better. I love them both, but there were a lot more scenes that I liked in the remake. I’ll get crucified for even stating this lol.
Hell yes. It's one of my favorite SK novels. I've seen every version, and still, the original still gives me nightmares. 😱
My God Yes I've been awaiting the release diligently loved the 1979 n 2004 remake of Salem's Lot can't 2024 to arrive my face is already under the sheet just knowing there's a new one coming out pls don't disappoint Stephen King's Fans❤🎉
Just my opinion but I beleive they want to scrap it because it's an old fashioned film with a 1970s feel and not a loud, obnoxious, CGI superhero film. They're worried a film with an old fashioned feel won't make any money. The peabrains of today are only interested in Marvel comics characters for some reason.
I'd love to see.
Shazam 3 Fury of Gods was a Box Office Bomb...The Flash Box Office Bomb compared to the budget...The Meg 2 Did well but not a Big Office Score...The Nun 2 did Quite well given that the film was less than 40 million to make...So I could see why the studio would be cautious...
I thought that line up was trash
If they release it, I'm not sure it will be as good as the first adaptation. That was excellent.
Need this film to happen!!
I wanna see it👍THANK YOU!
I love anything From Steven King! He’s amazing @ getting us to know about the ppl & places in his stories as well as All the creepy stuff & sometimes horror. That’s what I love ❤️ bout his talent. ❤
I want to see this so bad.
Stephen is attempting to force Warmers to release the film,because he doesn't receive royalties till the film is generating profit !!;
He doesnt need the money
There’s no reason not to release this film! Top 3 King story!
Does it really cost $40 million to promote a film that’s going to be on a streaming service though?
Salem's Lot is by far my #1 favorite novel by Stephen King. I hope this new film version does the book justice. The two movies from 1979 and 2004 were disappointing. If the upcoming film accurately portrays every major scene and every major character from the novel, it could be one of the most frightening and suspenseful horror movies of all time.
I really wish WB would just release the film.
Yes
This sounds too much like "producer wisdom", where a movie like Salem's Lot is not viewed as an artform, but rather a disposable product. "Can we make a big profit with this? If not, discard it."
William Sadler is Barlow in the 1979 guise...WB are idiots if they scrap this movie.
No, Reggie Nalder played Barlow in 1979. William Sadler played Death in a Bill and Ted movie.
I know their names sound alike, but you're thinking of Reggie Nalder.
Yes, I am looking forward to it. Though 1979 film i'm sure will still be my favorite.
WB released Meg 2, Shazam and Blue Beetle last year. How bad can Salen's Lot be?
its been released that it will come out in 2024 to max
That final scene from the 1979 classic...after 45 years I still can't fathom the stupidity of that groundskeeper (Clint Eastwood's buddy and film character) stopping while he was digging the grave and......wait for it....jumping into the grave to...open the lid and see the dead boy. WTF! It's not like he was hypnotizeed by looking directly into the eyes of a vampire. In both the novel and the original film the novel, the moron handyman simply stared down and jumped in for no compelling reason. In the book, once he had the coffin open, the site of Benji's (?) eyes being open unnerved him into concluding he needed silver coins to stop this from making him uncomfortable. But this was after he hopped in. Suicidal curiosity, like the Haddonfield sheriff in Halloween 2 who simply had to lean over a "dead" Michael Meyers for no rational purpose, in spite of Loomis' repeated warnings.
It's not supposed to be rational and logical. It's a horror movie.
All scenes are primarily made for most atmosphere in themselves, disregarding logic in the total story.
And this was the most atmospheric take on this scene.
The only way horror can work is by presenting a contrast between normality and occasional suspension of disbelief. How is the viewer supposed to engage in the story if the total story is illogical? What is there to be afraid of if the entire movie makes no sense from start to finish? Where would the fear come from if it's patently obvious the entire exercise, from start to finish, is in your face impossible? If everything is illogical, the viewer might as well save their money and lose themself in their imagination for free.
Ta ta ta ta ta today junior?!!!!!!!!! Hurry up Warner bros
I really want to see this movie. I will judge it on its own. But want to see it!
release it on streaming then
Salami’s Lot should been 6 Hour MiniSeries not under 3 Hour Movie.
Heard from someone that it’s getting scraped. He didn’t know why but that’s what I’ve been told
That's what I've heard too. Announcement to follow soon apparently.
@@outpost31737I hate it but on the other hand I think it should have been done like a mini series so that they don’t leave out so much from the book.
@@bigkain76Agreed and SL isn't the only movie getting axed. WB are a disgrace.
@@outpost31737 oh no!!!! 🙁
Scraped off of what?
It's spelled "scrapped", dumbbell.
I hope it gets a theatrical release. It would be good to finally get to see 'Salem's Lot on the big screen instead of the TV screen.
Never the same without David Soul 🙏
You're being too kind, glossing over the 'details'..
As mentioned, both miniseries were close to 3 hours each...and they both left stuff out: this slow burn clock in at 113 minutes, less than 2 hours...and THAT is from the first credit to the last...so LESS than 113 minutes story time...
Who ditches a horror film based on any stephen king story...especially when it's made by THE hottest contemporary names in movie horror...plus a killer, up n coming cast ?...just put the names out and you'll double or triple the films cost/tax write off, right ?
It was initially announced Sadler would play Kurt Barlow, the vampire...but during one of at least two reshoots...suddenly his name is barely mentioned and they keep mentioning the kid with the weird name: interestingly, Wan and Dauberman specifically mentioned how much they loved the book, would hew closely to it...yet Barlow, in the book, is very much a Universal/Hammer style human looking vampire and the reshoots, using this kid, apparently went all CGI and turned him into more a nosferatu-style critter...
Finally: Salems Lot is most definitely not a jump scare kinda story...the fact that it's considerably less than two hours and has had this much trouble means it's either a bit of a turkey (with, probably, excessive studio meddling ruining an easy thing) or the unleadership at Warners is really only good at protecting investor portfolios not selling us movies
I hope it gets released! 🤣
Im tired of hearing its too long of a story to film and it needed to be condenses. Please explain Shawshank to me as that was a short story. Green Mile was also a long.We all forget this a business at the end of the day. This story had potential for a movie, but sadly it was put in the wrong hands. I keep hearing the movie is good. WB wants GREAT! I dont blame them. Scrap it, start over with fresh talent and film it!
Ridiculous. IT is over 1100 pages!
Annoying as Hell, just release the damn thing and let us see it.
Perhaps you shouldn't get a thumbs-up for saying that in your video.
Oh crap a remake..is gonna be woke and full of liberal garbage cmon Hollywood original movies you can do it! Salems lot is a great book leave it the way it is
God you MAGA types are the biggest pussies on earth.
I love the word "woke" because the world's biggest snowflakes think it's an insult.
What a whiny little pussy you are.
Remember the original Salem lot also got a sequel
No big Stars in the Cast ? Wow, how come you don't know Alfre Woodard? Strange you don't watch movies with Afro-American celebrities 😔 Perhaps you should watch and see not people can be important.
they keep making sequels and re hashes because the people they employ have no talent to come up with something new that people will like
King has written some great books, but he's a terrible judge of other people's work.
Would have been better as a miniseries, produced by a non-woke company... if there are any left that is.
It will be too long, expensive and instantly forgettable. Fact.
that's ironic because we already know it's ridiculously short.
@@nonyabusiness2510 almost 2hrs. Not that short. Assuming 5 min of credit at the begining and end.
1 1/2 hours is good for a decent movie. Not far long time ago ot was unusual to see movies of 2+ hours.
No loss. A trash fire cash grab. Already been done well. King probably needs money for adult diapers and pudding cups.
No thanks, do something original and stop regurgitating old stuff
This means it's terrible and woke.
that's exactly what this is. It's not the drive to do a faithful retelling but another opportunity to regurgitate a story and provide an opportunity to cast the white characters as minorities.
Streaming is stupid. You have to buy another channel after already having channels of your basic service. Who the hell can afford that with Bidenomics?
Guess your job at Burger King does not cover the little extras.
@Blackadder1970. Then get a real job....
Warner Brother has become the trash of the movie industry I'm waiting for this movie to come out in 2024 and they refused to release it the same goes for DC needs to buy back the rights to their DC superheroes Warner Bros has become a trash Studio disappointing to the fans of both franchise.
