By BroadCasting & Cable Staff -- Broadcasting & Cable, 8/1/2001 7:21:00 AM

Turner Network Television is taking a new stab at Stephen King's vampire novel, Salem's Lot, AP reports.

The cable network plans to produce a four-hour miniseries based on the 1975 book about bloodsuckers who slowly take over an isolated New England town.

The book was previously adapted as a TV movie in 1979, which starred David Soul and James Mason.

Screenwriter Peter Filardi (Flatliners, The Craft) will write the new script.
