James Wan and Gary Dauberman have teamed together several times now during the course of THE CONJURING Universe. It looks as thought the duo will once again be joing forces on a classic tale.

A movie adaptation is now in the works for Stephen King's 1975 novel SALEM'S LOT. James Wan will be producing with Gary Dauberman executive producing and writing the screenplay. Roy Lee and Mark Wolper will also be producing. A director has yet to be chosen.

The SALEM'S LOT story revolves around an author who moves back to his hometown only to discover that it's being overrun by vampires.

SALEM'S LOT was adapted as a TV miniseries in 1979 by Tobe Hooper and in 2004 by Mikael Salomon. A sequel to the 1979 miniseries, A RETURN TO SALEM'S LOT was directed by Larry Cohen and released in 1987.

Synopsis:

"Author Ben Mears returns to ‘Salem's Lot to write a book about a house that has haunted him since childhood only to find his isolated hometown infested with vampires. While the vampires claim more victims, Mears convinces a small group of believers to combat the undead."
