‘Salem’s Lot’ Star Lewis Pullman Says ‘Thunderbolts’ Audition Was Like Joining the FBI: ‘There Were Shredders Everywhere’


'Salem's Lot' star Lewis Pullman says his audition for 'Thunderbolts' was like meeting with the FBI.

Lewis Pullman stars in Max’s new film adaptation of Stephen King’s second horror novel, “Salem’s Lot.” He plays Ben Mears, a writer who finds his quaint New England hometown has been invaded by vampires. During an appearance on the “Just for Variety” podcast, the actor recalls his friend and “Top Gun: Maverick” co-star Danny Ramirez helping him develop his character’s story, especially his facial expressions when reacting to the blood-sucking creatures. Ramirez and Phoenix were set to star as lovers in the period romance before it was shelved when the “Joker” actor dropped out of the project just five days before production was scheduled to begin.
