Salem’s Lot | Warner Bros has another filmed yet unreleased film, decision time looming
filmstories.co.uk
The new Salem's Lot movie finished filming at the end of 2021: but there remains no sign of a release. More here.

TLDR: Warner Bros has a remake of Salem’s Lot sitting on the shelf. It even has an endorsement from Stephen King and had two good test screenings.

Its original release date was Spring 2022.

      Yeah, they are going to write this one off too. Then Amazon will announce their Dark Tower adaptation from Mike Flanagan, interest in all things Stephen King will skyrocket and Warner will look like idiots. Again. (See also: Destroying Batgirl, a movie costarring Brandon Fraser that would have released in the same year as his Oscar win. A movie that, by all accounts, was also great.)

    It baffles me that they don’t at least dump these on their own streaming service. I mean seriously. What an absolute waste.

    Its like the plot of the movie The Producers, make more money by doing a bad job on a movie and writing down the loss, only Gene Wilder isn’t in it and it sucks.

      The story is already great. I’ve been waiting for an updated Salem’s Lot for ages.
