Some good news, ladies and gents – it appears as though the long-shelved big-screen adaption of Stephen King’s Salem’s Lot (buy a copy of the novel Here) won’t be deleted after all. Variety just broke the news that New Line and Warner Bros will put the movie out on its Max streaming service this year. While this was widely anticipated, in recent months, the buzz had turned pretty dark, with it heavily rumored that WB would be taking a loss on the film and deleting it, which is what they did with Batgirl. The Looney Tunes/live-action mash-up Coyote vs Acme seems to be going that way as well (unless John Cena’s comic performance at the Oscar swayed anyone).
This is the third adaptation of Salem’s Lot. The previous two were both mini-series, which aired in 1979 and 2004. This new take on the concept is said to be set...

Sony’s Screen Gems, behind recent horror movies including Insidious: The Red Door, The Pope’s Exorcist and The Invitation, is looking to make an even bigger mark on the horror space, The Hollywood Reporter informs us tonight. On that note, they’ve signed Gary Dauberman (Salem’s Lot) to a first-look deal for the purposes of developing feature films in the genre.
THR notes, “The move comes as Sony seeks to rebuild Screen Gems, its division focused on lower-budgeted fare, into a more productive label, with horror being a top focus.”
As part of the deal, Gary Dauberman is said to be “creating projects for himself,” while also “curating a slate featuring established and up-and-coming filmmakers.”
“Involved in some of the biggest horror franchises in the last 10 years, Gary has an extraordinary ability to create and build out terrifying worlds and create a visceral experience through thoughtfully crafted story and characters,...

Premiering at the Directors’ Fortnight at Cannes, Faris Alrjoob’s The Red Sea Makes Me Wanna Cry is a tale filled with shimmering mysteries, utilising elliptical storytelling, enigmatic voiceover and a strong command of camera movement and tone to suggest multiple hidden meanings lingering in the background. His thesis film at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne, The Red Sea Makes Me Wanna Cry sees the Jordanian filmmaker travel to Aqaba – a tourist hotspot situated between Israel and Saudi Arabia – making excellent use of location to suggest an almost dystopian, forgotten world, imbuing our protagonist’s journey to learn more about her long-lost lover with a keenly felt sense of time and place. We had the chance to talk to Alrjoob ahead of the film’s world premiere yesterday about shooting on Super 16, the benefits of a 1:66:1 frame and how his lead actress, Clara Schwinning, is like a young Tilda Swinton.
