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 [More]
