The long-awaited adaptation of Stephen King’s Salem’s Lot from director Gary Dauberman (Annabelle Comes Home) is still without a release date, but we’ve learned from The Hollywood Reporter this afternoon that the film will Not be releasing in theaters at all.
As we suspected, Salem’s Lot will be a straight-to-streaming release for the Max streaming service. THR notes, “No date was given, but sources believe a fourth quarter release is likely.”
Originally set for theatrical release on September 9, 2022, the new Stephen King adaptation was recently bumped to April 21, 2023, before getting ejected from the theatrical slate.
For what it’s worth, Stephen King has recently tweeted praise for the film.
King wrote earlier this year, “I’ve seen the new Salem’S Lot and it’s quite good. Old-school horror filmmaking: slow build, big payoff. Not sure why WB is holding it back; not like it’s embarrassing, or anything.

The long-awaited adaptation of Stephen King’s Salem’s Lot from director Gary Dauberman (Annabelle Comes Home) is still without a release date, but we did get a bit of an update on Halloween night earlier this week. According to the latest reports, Warner Bros. is toying with the idea of bringing Salem’s Lot straight-to-streaming sometime in 2024.

Taking to Twitter this week, Stephen King himself has shared his honest thoughts on Gary Dauberman’s adaptation of his classic novel. And it sounds like he’s (mostly) a fan.

One of the biggest questions this year in terms of horror releases remains: Where’s the Salem’s Lot remake? According to Variety, the Gary Dauberman-directed Stephen King adaptation may be heading to Max, the Warner Bros. Discovery streaming platform.

While a Warner Bros. spokesperson told Variety, “No decision has been made about the film’s future distribution plans,” the outlet cites that “the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike has created a growing need for Max content.” That makes Salem’s Lot a prime candidate, considering how long the adaptation has been shelved.
Perhaps, with vocal support from fans, Salem’s Lot may yet head to theaters as Evil Dead Rise did earlier this year.

The new adaptation of Salem’s Lot from director Gary Dauberman is currently missing in action, originally set for release in September 2022 before more recently being bumped to April 2023. As we learned over the summer, the WB/New Line movie is now without a release date entirely, and we’re waiting to hear more on that.
In the meantime, star Lewis Pullman (The Strangers: Prey at Night) has offered up some thoughts on Salem’s Lot in a chat with ComicBook.com, teasing the faithfulness to Stephen King‘s novel. How faithful is the new adaptation? According to Pullman, quite faithful.
Pullman tells the site, “Gary Dauberman, the director, is really keen on doing justice to the book. But also, the previous adaptation was a two-parter, because it’s such a hefty book and there are so many different moving parts and so many characters. So there are some parts where Gary had...

After A Quiet Place earned more than $330 million at the box office worldwide with a production budget of $17 million, Paramount Pictures wasted no time putting a sequel in development for a May 15th, 2020 release date. Soon after that, it was revealed that A Quiet Place co-writer and star John Krasinski was writing the sequel, and now it's been confirmed that he will direct as well, with Emily Blunt also reportedly on board for the follow-up film.
On Twitter and Instagram, Krasinski shared an image (see below) of what looks to be the farmhouse from A Quiet Place, coupled with the caption "...time to go back. #PartII 5-15-20".
Timed with the social media post, multiple sources, including EW and Deadline, confirmed that Krasinski will direct A Quiet Place sequel, with Deadline also reporting that "Emily Blunt's deal for the sequel is closed as well." In the first film, Blunt played Evelyn Abbott,...

Today we are recognizing A Quiet Place, as well as co-writer/director/star John Krasinski, plus co-star Emily Blunt. Our Hollywood Film Tributes recognize films and talent for their excellence in the art of filmmaking. It’s always a good thing when the awards season has a horror film in the mix. The fact that A Quiet Place is so technically well done is just a bonus. Real life couple Blunt and Krasinski have incredible chemistry, while the latter showcases brilliant genre filmmaking chops. It’s a surprising gem that could be on the cusp of some major Academy Award attention… From our rave review all the way back in April: PG-13 is usually the kiss of death for horror. Reliant on jump scares, an absence of gore, and an aim to be just terrifying enough to still work for teenagers, it’s the wheelhouse for horror sequels and throwaway ghost stories.

[Editor’s note: The following post contains spoilers for “A Quiet Place.”]
John Krasinski’s acclaimed horror film “A Quiet Place” opens with an extended set piece featuring the Abbott family scavenging for supplies in a deserted town. The rules of the film’s universe quickly became clear, specifically that the Abbott family can not make a single noise or else they’ll be hunted by something. The set piece ends with the sounds of a toy rocket going off, resulting in the death of the Abbott’s youngest son, Beau (Cade Woodward).
Critics have praised the “A Quiet Place” opening as a visceral and emotionally involving introduction to the dystopian future created by screenwriters Bryan Woods, Scott Beck, and Krasinski, who also directed and starred in the film, but it turns out the set piece wasn’t always going to open the film. Producers Andrew Form and Brad Fuller recently confirmed to Yahoo Entertainment the film’s original...

After A Quiet Place earned $332 million at the box office worldwide with a production budget of $17 million, Paramount Pictures began development on a sequel that was recently given a May 15th, 2020 release date. It was recently revealed that the first film's co-writer/director/star John Krasinski is working on a screenplay for the sequel, and in a recent chat with Entertainment Weekly, co-star Emily Blunt and her husband, Krasinski, discussed the potential directions the next film could take.
At the 2018 Scad Savannah Film Festival, Blunt talked with EW about how although it would be interesting to take a prequel approach in the next Quiet Place movie, the next film migh instead focus on what happened after the intense events on the Abbott family farm, which was attacked by alien creatures that hunt solely by sound:

Horror genre fatigue? Nowadays, a lot of horror movies rely on unnecessary jump scares, gratuitous violence and predictable storylines. But if there’s one horror flick this year that defied the odds and subverted tropes, it was John Krasinski‘s “A Quiet Place,” which opened on April 6. On the surface, it’s a simplistic story about a post-apocalyptic world, but at its core, it’s a story about the strength of family bonds. Could “A Quiet Place” be this year’s “Get Out” and get a Best Picture Oscar nomination?
Krasinski directed and starred in “A Quiet Place,” and co-wrote it with Scott Beck and Bryan Woods. Set in 2020, the horror-thriller follows a family that is forced into hiding after the Earth’s population has been wiped out by giant sightless creatures with an acute sense of hearing. As these creatures will attack anything that makes even the slightest sound,...

Imagine a world where making even the tiniest noise could get you torn to pieces by a scary alien monster. That’s the killer premise behind A Quiet Place, an original and utterly terrifying creature feature from actor-director-co-writer John Krasinksi.
The film begins 89 days after an invasion of vicious aliens has decimated the Earth’s population. Aside from possessing razor-sharp teeth, the creatures are equipped with phenomenal hearing abilities, which they use to hunt their human prey.
The opening scene establishes just how far the film is willing to go to terrify you, as a family – father (Krasinski), mother, deaf teenage daughter (hearing-impaired actress Millicent Simmonds) and two young sons (Noah Jupe and Cade Woodward) – experience a horrific tragedy after one of their number accidentally makes a noise with a toy plane.

Paramount struck gold early this year with A Quiet Place and now they're ready to move ahead with a sequel. More within...
CinemaCon 2018 is in full swing, which means Hollywood's biggest studios are announcing their next slate of movies. Previously, Sony stole the headlines with their head-turning Venom trailer, but Wednesday night belonged to Paramount Pictures. Newly hired Studio chairman and CEO Jim Gianopulos took the stage to announce that one of their surprising hits of 2018 would be getting a deserved sequel, the almost-silent film A Quiet Place.
A Quiet Place was the first movie produced in the Gianopulos era and it came at a much-needed time. After more than a year of box office duds, A Quiet Place was Paramount's first real success.

(Note: This post contains spoilers for “A Quiet Place.”)
“A Quiet Place” imagines a future where humanity is in pretty rough shape. In the early moments of the movie, newspaper clippings make it clear that the human race has come up against some pretty tough creatures — and have lost.
The movie follows the Abbott family, consisting of Lee (Krasinski), Evelyn (Emily Blunt), and their kids Regan (Millicent Simmonds), Marcus (Noah Jupe) and Beau (Cade Woodward), as they sneak around ruined towns in search of supplies. Newspaper clippings Lee has gathered describe the “dark angels” that have apparently ravaged the planet. The only way to avoid the seemingly indestructible but blind killers is to maintain silence, because the creatures use sound to hunt and kill.
Also Read: John Krasinski's 'A Quiet Place' Is Now Paramount's Biggest Us Hit Since Summer 2016
“A Quiet Place” never explains where the creatures came from, but it does give some sense of how long it has been since they first appeared: 473 days, during the period where most of the action takes place.
But how far in the future is the movie set, and when is the apocalypse supposed to have started? “A Quiet Place” doesn’t make that completely explicit either, but there are some clues in the movie that give some idea of just when the movie might be occurring.
In the opening portion of the movie, 89 days have passed. “A Quiet Place” kicks off with a trauma: the death of Beau, the Abbotts’ four-year-old son, when he turns on a toy and is carried off by a dark angel. Later in the movie, the Abbotts’ daughter, Reagan, returns to the train bridge where Beau was killed, and we get a chance to see his headstone. It places Beau’s death in 2020.
Also Read: 'Get Out' Perfectly Explains Racism Concepts to People Who Don't Get It (Commentary)
Working backward from that date, we can get a pretty solid approximate idea of just how far in the future most of the movie is happening. Beau’s death in 2020 is three months into the end of the world, and looks like late autumn or early winter wherever the Abbotts are living. That suggests that the dark angels first started showing up in the late summer or early fall of 2020.
The rest of the movie takes place on days 470 and 473. If the dark angels first started appearing in the early winter of 2020, that puts the bulk of the movie’s action about 15 months later, or around spring 2021. That tracks with the long sleeves and light jackets the family is shown wearing.
So “A Quiet Place” finds the end of the world taking place just a couple years in the future from our current world, and what’s more, humanity is leveled within three months of that. Though we don’t have to deal with any super-strong, indestructible, sound-hunting monsters out here in the real world, the idea that “A Quiet Place” is pretty close to our own world is not exactly a comforting thought.

But how far in the future is the movie set, and when is the apocalypse supposed to have started? “A Quiet Place” doesn’t make that completely explicit either, but there are some clues in the movie that give some idea of just when the movie might be occurring.
In the opening portion of the movie, 89 days have passed. “A Quiet Place” kicks off with a trauma: the death of Beau, the Abbotts’ four-year-old son, when he turns on a toy and is carried off by a dark angel. Later in the movie, the Abbotts’ daughter, Reagan, returns to the train bridge where Beau was killed, and we get a chance to see his headstone. It places Beau’s death in 2020.

Working backward from that date, we can get a pretty solid approximate idea of just how far in the future most of the movie is happening. Beau’s death in 2020 is three months into the end of the world, and looks like late autumn or early winter wherever the Abbotts are living. That suggests that the dark angels first started showing up in the late summer or early fall of 2020.
The rest of the movie takes place on days 470 and 473. If the dark angels first started appearing in the early winter of 2020, that puts the bulk of the movie’s action about 15 months later, or around spring 2021. That tracks with the long sleeves and light jackets the family is shown wearing.
So “A Quiet Place” finds the end of the world taking place just a couple years in the future from our current world, and what’s more, humanity is leveled within three months of that. Though we don’t have to deal with any super-strong, indestructible, sound-hunting monsters out here in the real world, the idea that “A Quiet Place” is pretty close to our own world is not exactly a comforting thought.

If you’ve yet to make your way to the local multiplex and see John Krasinski’s outstanding directorial effort A Quiet Place, I quietly urge you to do so. The dramatic horror pic, which stars Krasinski’s real-life spouse Emily Blunt, is a devastating, intelligent, and downright scary piece of work.
Climbing atop the box office this weekend with a monstrous $50.2 million opening, A Quiet Place more than doubled its $17.2 million budget in just three days. As such, Krasinski has skyrocketed into the upper pantheon of rising talent and deservedly so. Not only that, but sequel talk is already underway.
Before that can happen, though, the post-mortem continues and now, in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Andrew Form of Platinum Dunes, the production company behind A Quiet Place, revealed that the film almost had a very different opening sequence.

Imagine a world where making even the tiniest noise could get you torn to pieces by a scary alien monster. That’s the killer premise behind A Quiet Place, an original and utterly terrifying creature feature from actor-director-co-writer John Krasinksi.
The film begins 89 days after an invasion of vicious aliens has decimated the Earth’s population. Aside from possessing razor-sharp teeth, the creatures are equipped with phenomenal hearing abilities (indeed, their armour-plated insides resemble the workings of a giant ear), which they use to hunt their human prey.
The opening scene establishes just how far the film is willing to go to terrify you, as a family – father (Krasinski), mother (Emily Blunt, Krasinski’s real-life wife), deaf teenage daughter (hearing-impaired actress Millicent Simmonds) and two young sons...

Chicago – Terror and fear take several forms. Sometimes it’s something as simple as spiders or snakes or even an incompetent president. Other times it can take the form of natural states, like darkness. Horror films channel our fears, but the great ones give us something new to fear. “A Quiet Place” lures us in with the safety of silence, only to reveal the monsters hiding within.
Rating: 4.0/5.0
The silence is cripplingly contagious, filling the theater with the same blaring quietude the protagonists are forced to live in. The auditory softness of the film is meant to lull us into a sense of security, but like Charlie Brown and the football, we are never really given the chance. As soon as our guard is down, the film is quick to remind us that we should be in muscle-tensed attention at all time. “A Quiet Place” takes full advantage of its conceit,...

It was, inappropriately, a noisy scene in London this evening on the red carpet for a special screening of A Quiet Place. This was the UK debut of the new horror film directed by John Krasinski, who also stars in the film with Emily Blunt, his real-life wife.
It continues this current spate of original horror films making their mark, building on the success of Jordan Peele’s Get Out and David Robert Mitchell’s It Follows. It also marks out Krasinski as a director to watch, and we were able to speak with him about his next foray behind the camera. Emily Blunt talked to us about this film, the very antithesis of Mary Poppins Returns – her end of year blockbuster from Disney. She also briefly talks about trying to get Edge of Tomorrow 2 off the ground.

PG-13 is usually the kiss of death for horror. Reliant on jump scares, an absence of gore, and an aim to be just terrifying enough to still work for teenagers, it’s the wheelhouse for horror sequels and throwaway ghost stories. Then, we have A Quiet Place. This is a true cut above. What John Krasinski has accomplished here is truly remarkable. From the first Teaser Trailer, it seemed like this had potential. Then, having seen it last week, I was blown away. It’s truly a new horror classic, along with being one of the five best movies that I’ve seen in 2018 so far. The film is a fright flick that actually manages to scare you while still telling a riveting story. Set in the days after a devastating alien invasion, we follow a family who has managed to spend the months since surviving in upstate New York.

MaryAnn’s quick take… An apocalypse unlike any onscreen before. A film often almost unbearably tense, in part because it audaciously reconsiders the role sound plays in eliciting our emotional response. I’m “biast” (pro): love Emily Blunt and John Krasinski
I’m “biast” (con): not a fan of most horror films
(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto) women’s participation in this film
(learn more about this)
Welcome to a whole new apocalypse.
I mean this: Humanity has been contemplating its own end since before we could even pull it off ourselves (like with nuclear weapons or genetically engineered viruses, or whatever). But we have never conceived of it looking — or, ahem, sounding — anything like this before. Science fiction is a genre in which the visual media — TV and film, and videogames, too — are always playing catchup with the literature. But the end of the world as dreamt up,...
