SALEM'S LOT, an original dramatic miniseries event based on the best-selling Stephen King novel, is coming to Turner Network Television (TNT). Emmy® and Golden Globe® nominee Rob Lowe, Emmy® and Golden Globe®-winner Donald Sutherland (The Italian Job, Cold Mountain), Emmy®-winner Andre Braugher (Homicide), Golden Globe® winner Rutger Hauer (Escape from Sobibor), Oscar® nominee James Cromwell (Babe) and Samantha Mathis (TNT's The Mists of Avalon) are set to star in SALEM'S LOT.
TNT and Warner Bros. Television co-produce the four-hour miniseries, with Mark Wolper (TNT's The Mists of Avalon, The Thornbirds) executive-producing for The Wolper Organization, and Jeff Hayes executive-producing for Coote/Hayes. Mikael Salomon (Band of Brothers) directs from a script by Peter Filardi (Flatliners, The Craft), based on Stephen King's best-selling novel.
In SALEM'S LOT, King's vicious take on the perfect All-American community, Lowe will play Ben Mears, a journalist who returns to his hometown to research the mysteries surrounding the memories that have haunted him since his childhood. The close-held secrets of small-town life turn into unimaginable terror when a mysterious stranger arrives in town and ultimately reveals himself to be a vampire looking to sink his teeth into a new home.
Sutherland will play Richard Straker, a mysterious antique store owner who is actually the evil partner of head vampire Kurt Barlow, played by Hauer; Braugher will portray Matt Burke, Ben's former grade school teacher who teams up with him to uncover the town's secrets; Mathis will play Susan Norton, a small-town waitress who falls for Ben and Cromwell will portray Father Donald Callahan, a priest who helps Ben investigate the mysterious deaths of his parishioners. -- © TNT [Less]

Better than the original. You know what? You’ll actually want to sit through this one

Lacks the atmosphere, tension, and scares of the original; an amorphous, lumbering disappointment.

Fans of the book who still had a bad taste in their mouth after the first version would be advised to give it a rental.
