'30 Days of Night' Sequel Heads to Dark Days http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/15989 Print This Page When we first announced exclusively on B-D back in May of 2008 that a sequel to 30 Days of Night was in development, we got an egg in our face and everyone was quick to slam us. Today, in an interview with MTV, Steve Niles explains that not only is a sequel in development, but the script is mother-f*ckin'-written! Read on for the skinny and get ready for more ice-cold vampire violence (possibly) coming to theaters! “There will be a sequel,” Niles told MTV News. “The script is in. I’ve been working on it with a buddy of mine, Ben Ketai, who directed the last round of the online webisodes.” “The script is based on ‘Dark Days,’” explained Niles. In “Dark Days,” the character of Stella Olemaun heads to Los Angeles after surviving the vampire attack in Barrow, Alaska. She intentionally attracts the attention of the local vampire population in order to avenge the death of her husband, Eben, during the Barrow incident. While the film made an impressive $70m at the box office, typically that doesn't mean theatrical sequel. Niles explains that Sam Raimi is giving him some hope. “We didn’t hit that magic $100 million, but I had a long talk with Sam,” explained Niles. “He called me and just said, ‘Don’t be too quick to judge this direct-to-DVD market, especially with the sci-fi market.’” Look for more info when it comes in.
