30 More Days of Night
 

November 6, 2008


It looks like the town of Barrow, Alaska will once again be under siege by vampires.

Bloody Disgusting reports that it was revealed at this week's American Film Market in Los Angeles that "Mandate Pictures is working on a sequel to 30 Days of Night, and has Steve Niles and Ben Ketai listed as current writers."

The site says the sequel will revolve around the character of Stella (portrayed in the 2007 film by Melissa George) who is out for revenge against the vampires that attacked her town.

Bloody Disgusting previously claimed that the sequel might be a direct-to-DVD/Blu-ray production rather than a theatrical release but that no decision has been made yet.

Damn, I was hoping it would follow the book Rumors of the Undead. Ah well... we'll see how this one pans out.

Sounds pretty much right, as though they're going along the lines of the comic series "dark days", "eben and stella" with a bit of "return to barrow" possibly being in there.
The other series beyond that are just pure spin-offs.

Can we ever just have a movie,like a movie,and not make 20 more of them???


No,really i like this idea:)

I just do not understand why this movie has had so much media made around it. It was one of the worst vampire movies I've ever seen, and one of the worst movies PERIOD the year it came out.

I swear I about rolled my eyes out of my own head with all the stupid hissing and inward-breathing screeches they did....

-D

I never got around to watching the first one. My friend put it on once for a group of us but we didn't really get into it.

We've known for awhile now that plans were in the works to jumpstart a sequel to the popular vampire actioner 30 Days of Night, based upon the graphic novel by Steve Niles and Ben Templesmith. Titled Dark Days, we last heard about the sequel from Niles, who discussed the status of the script back in April.

Apparently, the story will revolve around Stella (played by Melissa George in the first film) as she teams with a group of vampire hunters in search of the mythical vampire mistress, Lilith.

There have been a few names offered up with regard to casting, but nothing yet about who might get behind the camera.

Bloody-Disgusting has learned that director Ben Ketai, who helped to develop the 30 Days of Night web series "Blood Trails" and "Dust to Dust," may take a bite out of the project to resurrect the dead when film finally rolls on the production.

Stay tuned for further news as they break out.

Sounds great, i can't wait for this...

If the comic is anything to go by, the setting won't be Barrow at all.

I'm not a huge fan of vampire movies, but I kinda liked 30 Days of Night, so I'll watch a sequel.
