It's been two years since the sequel to 30 Days of Night was announced. So they've definitely taken their sweet time getting everything done right(hopefully). So just as everyone is forgetting about the movie, yesterday it was confirmed that it is still happening and that it will start filming this October in Vancouver,Ca.
The main character Stella Olsen will return, but sadly Mellisa George will not. This time instead of one of the few survivors of an Alaskan town suddenly attacked by a ravenous horde of bloodthirsty vampires, she’s actually one in a group of vampire hunters. They’re out for revenge. The story was written by Steve Niles and Ben Ketai, who also wrote two 30 Days of Night webseries. Ketai is also directing.
No news yet if this will be a theatrical release or a direct to DVD, but usually when the main cast isn't returning studios would rather release them as direct to DVD to not risk being such a failure. Plus its being written by a guys that have only made a webseries. I’m not sure about a 30 Days of Night spin-off about hunting vampires. The first one was about ordinary people in shitty circumstances, not a bunch of wannabe Buffys and Blades. That’s been done A LOT. Maybe the sequel is better off on bottom shelf DVD. Do you think this movie will be successful? Do you think it will be theatrical released? Do you like the idea? Discuss it all below.
