Steve Niles Says More 30 Days of Night Movies Could Follow Dark Days
30 Days of Night Movies Could Follow Dark Days
Over a month ago, the first still image from the set of 30 Days of Night: Dark Days was released showing Kiele Sanchez taking over for Melissa George as Stella. 30 Days creator and Dark Days writer Steve Niles originally said that they decided to cast “slightly younger” because they hoped to make more movies based on the multitude of 30 Days graphic novels.
However, in a recent interview with Bloody Disgusting, he said that there were other issues that factored in the decision.
Schedule. The enemy of all casting. [Melissa George has] got a “million gazillion things going on right now” (shopping), so we couldn’t fit it…
30 Days of Night, 30 Days of Night: Dark Days, will be released January 1st, 2010

The sequel to 30 Days of Night, 30 Days of Night: Dark Days, will be released January 1st, 2010. The distributors of this film apparently have forgotten that a movie poster and movie trailer often create excitement for a film, as there is little to no promotional material available. 30 Days of Night: Dark Days is set to be released in less than a month now and a synopsis for the film is provided below. Have a look at the cast list below too.
A synopsis for 30 Days of Night: Dark Days here:
“It’s been a year since the Alaskan town of Barrow’s population was decimated by vampires during its annual month long sunset. Riddled with grief over the death of her husband, bound by nightmares and void of all emotions beyond hate and sorrow, Stella (Sanchez) has spent the past months traveling the world, trying to convince others that vampires exist.
Met with skepticism and laughter, Stella is ready to throw in the towel when a group of lost souls (Coiro, Baird and Perrineau) offers an incredible opportunity: the chance to exact revenge upon Lilith (Kirshner), the vampire queen responsible for the assault on her sleepy Alaskan town. With nothing remaining to live for, and nothing left to fear, Stella joins their mission and ventures into the uncharted underbelly of Los Angeles where she pushes herself to the most extreme limits to stop the evil from striking again.
Release Date: 2010.
Director: Ben Ketai.
Writer: Steve Niles.
Cast: Kiele Sanchez, Monique Ganderton, Mia Kirshner, Diora Baird.
Steve Niles, Talks 30 Days of Night: Dark Days From the Set
Sony’s 30 Days of Night: Dark Days Starring Kiele Sanchez
The esteemed Dread Central was lucky enough to hit the set of Sony’s 30 Days of Night: Dark Days earlier this month – the film wraps principal photography today in Vancouver, Canada, under the watchful eye of co-scripted (with Steve Niles) and director Ben Ketai – and while there sat down with producer JR Young (among others) to discuss the flick (cast interviews to come).
“This is a very edgy film,” Young, who previously produced The Messengers, told Dread while intently watching a scene being played out in video village – a scene which featured a rather hysterical and bloody actress (Katherine Isabelle) pleading for her life. “Ben knows this world. I think it comes natural to him.”
Sony’s 30 Days of Night: Dark Days Star’s Kiele Sanchez (A Perfect Getaway) , Mia (De Palma’s The Black Dahlia) Kirschner, Rhys (“Entourage”) Coiro, Diora (Night of the Demons) Baird, Harold (“Lost”) Perrineau, Troy (A Marine Story) Ruptash, Jackson Berlin, John De Santis, Marco Sorian, Monique (Cabin in the Woods) Ganderton, and the previously-mentioned horror-fave Katherine (Ginger Snaps, “Supernatural”) Isabelle, Dark Days appears poised according to Young to be a rather faithful adaptation of Niles’ graphic novel of the same name.
