I had these ready to go before Halloween, but thought I’d hold off until it was well and over to post. They contain spoilers for what happens to Bill’s character, Parkins Gillespie. I won’t give too much away, but urge you to go and watch it. It’s up on MAX. Here are the screencaps of Bill’s scenes. Enjoy.
It looks like Bill’s film SALEM’S LOT has been moved from this coming September to next spring, April 2023. Apparently Warner Brothers has done this with their whole rest of 2022 and 2023 releases. No real reason was given.
Warner Bros. Pushes ‘Salem’s Lot’ to Spring 2023
Lewis Pullman stars in the Stephen King adaptation.
Salem’s Lot will be haunting audiences a little later than planned. Warner Bros. has moved the Stephen King adaptation to April 21, 2023. The New Line project was previously slated to open Sept. 9 of this year, a favorite corridor for King adaptations such as It (2017) and It: Chapter Two (2019).
Veteran horror scribe Gary Dauberman, known for writing the It films and helming Annabelle Comes Home, is directing a cast that includes Lewis Pullman, Makenzie Leigh, Alfre Woodard, John Benjamin Hickey, Bill Camp, Jordan Preston Carter, William Sadler, and Pilou Asbaek.
King published Salem’s Lot in 1975. The book centers on an author who returns to his hometown only to discover townspeople are slowly being turned into vampires. James Wan, Michael Clear, Roy Lee and Mark Wolper are producing.
Warners also removed from the schedule The Last Train to New York, a remake of the Korean zombie hit Train to Busan. Dauberman penned the script with Timo Tjahjanto directing and James Wan producing.
The studio also unscheduled House Party, which was slated to hit HBO Max on July 28. The reboot stars Tosin Cole And Jacob Latimore. The studio, which release first-look images back in May, did not announce release plans for the film at this time.
The loss of Salem’s Lot from the September calendar comes as box office observers are concerned over a lull in product in the coming months.

Bill recently sat down with Jeff Hass of Traversing The Stars Podcast On Youtube, where they discussed Bill’s upcoming role in his fourth role in a film adaptation of a Stephen King novel, SALEM’S LOT. He will not be playing Kurt Barlow as I previously had in the sidebar under his projects. His role right now is being described as an “Easter Egg.” I’ll have more as information comes available. Also Bill said he’s putting together an album of his songs he made famous on his THE KITCHEN TAPES channel on Youtube. He said he might have something out in a month and that proceeds will go to a charity. Again, I’ll have more when Bill releases it.
Bill recently sat down for a video chat with interviewer Chuck Shute. Here Bill answers questions about his storied career and talks about his various projects both old and new. He also discussed his various pre-acting jobs such as working for his sister in scraping lobster boats in Boston, his stage work, and he confirmed he’s completed work on SALEM’S LOT where he plays the part of Kurt Barlow. Bill also stated he’s done his best work on the film A STAGE OF TWILIGHT a film he just completed with Karen Allen that is due to start making the film festival circuit. Thanks to Chuck who has given me permission to post the interview here. Thank you Chuck. So kind.
Bill’s association with Stephen King didn’t start in 1994’s THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION as the hapless Heywood. It started in 1984 where he voiced the part of David Drayton, played by Thomas Jane in the Frank Darabont directed film. This audio recording is quite good though I have to say the woman voicing the part of Mrs. Carmody can’t hold a candle to the inspired and dedicated performance of Marica Gay Hardin in the film. Bill would go on to star in three other films based on a King penned book. Those are THE GREEN MILE as Klaus Detterick, THE MIST as Jim Grondin, and currently he’s filming a big screen version of SALEM’S LOT. His role is as yet unknown. The featured image is from the 4k black and white version of the film.
