’30 Days of Night’ was one of those horror flicks that had a decent foundation, a good script, some fun actors and generally had a good time with vampires. And didn’t make me want to swear off the genre ever ever ever again. I’m looking at you ‘Twilight’ and ‘Vampire Diaries’. I think it’s the combination of bloodsuckers and harsh, cold climates, seeing as how both ’30 Days’ and ‘Let the Right One In’ both had that theme in common. Or maybe it was just the lack of sparkles. Anyways.
So I’m excited to see that there’s a director attached to the sequel. from Bloody Disgusting:
Bloody Disgusting has exclusively learned that Ben Ketai has been tapped to direct 30 Days of Night: Dark Days, a story from both Steve Niles and Ketai. Shooting is already slated to begin this October in Vancouver, Canada. We also learned that Stella Oleson returns as the lead character, but she will be recast (Melissa George toplined the first film). In the sequel, Stella joins a group of vampire hunters in order to get revenge on Lilith – the vamp responsible for the attack on her Alaska town. Ketai wrote directed the web series “30 Days of Night: Blood Trails” and “30 Days of Night: Dust to Dust.”
