In terms of modern horror, one of the absolute finest names out there is James Wan. And now, we have word on this major genre fave tackling one of Stephen King’s famed tales.

Courtesy of The Wrap, Wan will be producing a new adaptation of King’s Salem Lot. Gary Dauberman, best known for penning It and The Nun, is on writing duties for the new adap. There’s no information just yet on who will be directing the movie for New Line.

With the source material having been released back in 1975, Texas Chain Saw Massacre’s Tobe Hooper previously directed a 1979 adaptation of the novel. Jump forward a few decades and 2004 saw the vamp-tastic book turned into a TV mini-series. Vamp-tastic, you say? Why, that’s because the plot of Salem’s Lot saw a writer return to the town of Jerusalem’s Lot only to find out that everybody he used to know is now a blood-sucking vampire.

Expect more on this new take on Salem’s Lot as we get it.
