The folks at TNT have excitedly shot us a trio of stills from the upcoming Salem's Lot four hour mini-series. Regardless of whether these glimpses have appeared on the web already or not, they're new to the Corner so check 'em out (click on the pics to enlarge them).
This retelling of Stephen King's vampire-ridden novel showcases an ensemble cast, most notably Rob Lowe as Ben Mears, Samantha Mathis as Susan Norton, James Cromwell, Dan Byrd, Andre Braugher, Donald Sutherland, and Rutger Hauer. Tobe Hooper directed the original film back in '79 utilizing scribe Paul Monash's adaptation. The Craft's Peter Filardi has penned this update with knockout cinematographer Mikael Salomon (The Abyss, Far and Away, Arachnophobia) at the helm. Salomon's directing resume reflects plenty of television work including titles like Band of Brothers and Alias.
