Salem's Lot: Everything We Know 

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

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).

I saw the original version of Salem’s Lot when I was 11 - it scared the living shits out of me. Loved the book.

The original tv movie with David Soul was awesome.

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!!!

Salem's lot is one of my all time favorite books and movies. Can't wait for this one.

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.

Salem`s Lot is set in 1975? Hell YEAH!!

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.

What did Stephen King think? SK: Did the check clear? That's what I think about.

As soon as i hear reshoots and delays i see red flags.

Regardless of its quality, I'm glad it's coming out. WB really needs to be stopped from deleting all their movies.

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

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.

Every fan of King and every horror fs. is desperate to see this! Warners are crazy not to release it

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!!! 🙂

The '79 original is great. Why make Yet another remake? Aren't there enough remakes already? How about something fresh and original?

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.

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.

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.

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. ❤

Hell yes. It's one of my favorite SK novels. I've seen every version, and still, the original still gives me nightmares. 😱

If they release it, I'm not sure it will be as good as the first adaptation. That was excellent.

Never the same without David Soul 🙏

yes why not hard to beat the tobe hooper version such a masterpiece

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.

Does it really cost $40 million to promote a film that’s going to be on a streaming service though?

Great Video, Thank You 😀

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

Could William Sadler be Jason Burke, played by Lew Ayers in the 1979 version? He [in]famously encounters a vampire in a rocking chair.

I'd love to see this film. I need to re watch the older two now

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."

Stephen is attempting to force Warmers to release the film,because he doesn't receive royalties till the film is generating profit !!;

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 have the OG and the 2004 version in my collection. Still waiting for this one.

There’s no reason not to release this film! Top 3 King story!

They will never best the original......no chance.

Yes, I am looking forward to it. Though 1979 film i'm sure will still be my favorite.

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❤🎉

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 am looking forward to seeing the new Salem's Lot movie.

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.

William Sadler is Barlow in the 1979 guise...WB are idiots if they scrap this movie.

Can't wait.

I'd love to see.

It’s the Marsten house. Not Masterson.

I want to see this so bad.

If I get drunk I can watch any scary movie no matter what kind. I will laugh until I cry. I am a happy drunk if I drink moonshine or whiskey.

I really want to see this movie. I will judge it on its own. But want to see it!

Need this film to happen!!

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.

Heard from someone that it’s getting scraped. He didn’t know why but that’s what I’ve been told

I wanna see it👍THANK YOU!

WB released Meg 2, Shazam and Blue Beetle last year. How bad can Salen's Lot be?

Salami’s Lot should been 6 Hour MiniSeries not under 3 Hour Movie.

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!

if they are going to remake it DO NOT give us a just a person with fangs. the 79 nosferatu style barlow just set the bar way too fuckin high

Annoying as Hell, just release the damn thing and let us see it.

release it on streaming then

Ta ta ta ta ta today junior?!!!!!!!!! Hurry up Warner bros

its been released that it will come out in 2024 to max

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

Yes

Perhaps you shouldn't get a thumbs-up for saying that in your video.

Would have been better as a miniseries, produced by a non-woke company... if there are any left that is.

Just release it ffs…🤷‍♂️

King has written some great books, but he's a terrible judge of other people's work.

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.

This "new" movie is dead. Stick to the David Soul version...

Remember the original Salem lot also got a sequel

Why is Mark Petrie black WHY? Damn Eggplants.

No thanks, do something original and stop regurgitating old stuff

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

It will be too long, expensive and instantly forgettable. Fact.

No loss. A trash fire cash grab. Already been done well. King probably needs money for adult diapers and pudding cups.

This means it's terrible and woke.

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?

La versione del 1979 e' bellissima ❤....ed irraggiungibile! Questa nuova versione non la vedrò ...non potrà mai avere la magia della fine anni 70.

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.

I hope it gets released! 🤣
