Jordan Carter Sits Down To Talk Stephen King, ‘Salem’s Lot’, and Vampires [Interview]

Jordan Carter took on the role of Mark Petrie in the recent adaptation of Stephen King’s Salem’s Lot that’s on Max. He played the character with a badass energy and we got the chance to sit down with him to talk all things in the movie. His comments about the process, his audition, and the cast were pretty enlightening. There’s even some life advice there for people who might be waiting for something in their life. Salem’s Lot was filmed quite a while ago and only recently released.

Jordan’s answer on the wait was pretty great and showed off just how you have to be patient with things like this. If you missed out on Salem’s Lot, don’t fret. It’s available to stream on Max right now. Here’s what we had to say about the film in our review.

Salem’s Lot captures an aesthetic with its production design, costumes, music, lighting, and locations. That aesthetic is classic Stephen King and gives the film a dreamy quality that routinely turns into a nightmare. The crew put plenty of effort into the film to match the feeling of the novel. There’s a layer of all-American charm over the proceedings that feels eerie. That whole feeling of a dream turning into a nightmare is the entire runtime of Salem’s Lot. Lewis Pullman’s turn as Ben Mears is about as star-making as it can get. The entire cast here is pitch-perfect with highlights including Bill Camp, as Burke, Makenzie Leigh as Susan, and Jordan Preston Carter as Mark. The only qualm is that the cast is quite large, so there are many moving parts for a movie that’s under two hours, but it doesn’t take much from the film.
