“Where’s the body?”
Entertainment Weekly had exclusive preview of Lewis Pullman and Makenzie Leigh in action as Ben Mears and Susan Norton in a clip, which can be seen below, of Salem’s Lot.
The official synopsis reads: “Author Ben Mears 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 bloodthirsty vampire.”
Directed by Gary Dauberman, Salem’s Lot stars Lewis Pullman, Bill Camp, Spencer Treat Clark, Pilou Asbaek, Alfre Woodard, William Sadler, Makenzie Leigh, John Benjamin Hickey, Nicholas Crovetti, and Debra Christofferson.
“Salem’s Lot is such a special book because there’s a lot of macro sociopolitical themes in there. It’s not just a horror book,” Pullman says. “How Gary approached it was almost like, this is not a horror movie. This is a movie about a small town in America where something horrific happens. He was trying to also rekindle the fire of mystique about vampires. They’ve shifted in many different ways over the last couple of decades in terms of pop culture. I think Gary really wanted to return back to this very mysterious, almost mythological lens on them.”
The film will premiere on Max in October. Stay tuned to Horror News Network for more on Salem’s Lot.
