Direct-to-DVD sequel? Boo. Direct-to-DVD sequel without Melissa George? Boo. Direct-to-DVD sequel without Melissa George BUT with a promising cast? Okay, I'll take it.
Um why is this going straight to DVD? The first one did very well in theaters, not to mention this seems to be starring some pretty well known actors.
And who the fuck is playing Stella? Diora Baird or Keile Sanchez?
Plus the plot sounds promising. WTF is wrong with Columbia/Sony man?
this sucks. I loved 30 Days of Night. and will see this just to see how much faith the studio has in bringing it DTV instead of releasing it in the theaters.
Never heard of this director. He must be new on the scene. Yeah, this will be going straight to dvd, yet the cast isn't so bad. The first movie sucked. I didn't like it, it was disgusting!
cynthia, no offense but i take it you want TWILIGHT? 30 DAYS was AWESOME!! and i DO have to say the cast of this (Kylie & Harold especially) but am i just reading this wrong? i doesn't say who is playing STELLA.....or......????
according to SHOCKTILYOUDROP there is NO word or new casting of STELLA or if Melissa will return. so until it is confirmed, i'm still hopeful she will return for this!
Rhys Coiro is the man! He is so funny as Billy Walsh on Entourage, just check out my sig! Anyways, this sounds interesting. Oh yeah, and Diora Baird...So hot!
I will hope for the best. Melissa George will be missed. 30 Days of Night was flawed but great. Very underrated in my opinion.
