Production[]
Salem's Lot is an adaptation of the 1975 novel by Stephen King. The feature film from New Line Cinema was announced in April 2019 when The Hollywood Reporter revealed Gary Dauberman was set to write the screenplay and executive produce and James Wan was attached as a producer.[1] In an interview, Dauberman was asked if he would apply the same writing approach he utilized for It (2017) and It Chapter Two (2019), adaptations of King's novel It, to which he replied "I like to be as true to the story as I possibly can until it gets a little too unwieldy for a movie."[2]
In April 2020, Dauberman closed a deal to become director.[3] In August 2021, Lewis Pullman was selected to portray the film's lead role.[4] In September, principal photography commenced in Boston with cinematographer Michael Burgess.[5][6] Filming in the state of Massachusetts took place in Ipswich and the towns of Sterling and Clinton, both within Worcester County.[7] The Princeton Public Library in Princeton, Massachusetts, was also booked as a filming location for three days.[8] Additional photography occurred in late May or early June 2022. During post-production, Nathan Barr and Lisbeth Scott composed the score for the film.[9] According to Dauberman, the film was shortened from a duration of almost three hours, which would have included, among other things, the opening scene set in the Marsten House.[10]
