    James Wan to Produce Remake of Stephen King's 'Salem's Lot
    et ready for a return to America’s most famous small town that happens to be filled with Orlokian vampires, Jerusalem’s Lot.
    ‘Salem’s Lot was only the second novel published by Stephen King when it first hit shelves in 1975, and it remains one of the author’s more well-known works. A tale about a writer who returns to his childhood town of Jerusalem’s Lot, only to find it overrun with a vampire infestation, it has been adapted twice before: As a well-regarded 1979 TV movie by Texas Chain Saw Massacre director Tobe Hooper, and again as a quickly forgotten 2004 miniseries.

    Now, ‘Salem’s Lot is headed to the one place it’s never actually been: Into movie theaters. As reported by The Wrap, New Line Cinema is producing a big screen adaptation of the vampire story, which will be produced by The Conjuring maestro James Wan and written by It scribe Gary Dauberman. No word yet on who would be directing, but Dauberman would presumably be a possibility—he just wrapped his directorial debut in the upcoming Annabelle Comes Home, also set in New Line’s Conjuring universe.

    Compared with weighty tomes such as It or ponderous stories like The Dark Tower, ‘Salem’s Lot is a pretty straightforward King adaptation—an ideal project for a director with visual styles to craft a back-to-basics vampire horror film. The script from Dauberman will likely increase anticipation from some horror fans, given the positive response to It. Dauberman has also written the It: Chapter Two screenplay, as well as the script for the upcoming Swamp Thing. Wan, meanwhile, has become one of the biggest producer-directors in Hollywood, successfully shepherding DC’s Aquaman to financial and critical success, even as he prepares to produce The Conjuring 3.

      Dreams do come true. If you had told me 3 years ago that my name would be on the cover of Cemetery Dance Magazine, I'd have said that's impossible! But nothing is impossible. And I cannot wait to share my story, "Orange Grove Court," with you in their next issue.

      I hope you enjoy getting to know the neighbors on Orange Grove Court as much as I did. They're nice folks... Just be sure to keep an eye on your kids. Summer 2019.

            Maybe I can get in that section!!

                I'm pretty excited for the Salem's Lot film. I wonder who is tied to direct.

                      It was my pleasure. I already listened to Lifeguard and loved it. The story felt very personal and had a fun twist. Looking forward to more!
