Some new details have been released about 30 Days of Night: Dark Days, the sequel to 2007 film 30 Days of Night. Bloody-Disgusting.com is reporting Ben Ketai will direct the movie and shooting has already begun in Vancouver, Canada. Previously, Ketai has worked on short animated films in 30 Days of Night series.

The character of Stella Olsen will return, but will be played by a different actress this time around. In “Dark Days,” Stella Olemaun heads to L.A. after surviving the vampire attack in Barrow, Alaska, Stella decides to take on the local vampire population to avenge the death of her husband, Eben (Josh Hartnett).

If you had plans on seeing this in theaters, think again. Steve Niles, the author of Dark Days, mentioned in an interview with MTV the film would go straight to DVD.

When I first watched 30 Days of Night I didn’t really care for it. I’ve always been a fan of vampire movies, so I thought I’d enjoy it. It wasn’t until I started thinking about the movie a few days later when I realized it was a decent movie. The sequel almost sounds like it follows in the footsteps of the Blade storyline sans the superhero vibe. In any case, for a straight to DVD movie I’ll definitely check it out. Hopefully it isn’t as terrible as the Lost Boys sequel which went straight to DVD.

if you have comcast OnDemand you can go to the free movies section under FearNet and there are two short films that explore the 30 days story lines that this movie would follow. Its to bad that they are going with book two as the next movie, its one of the weaker stories in the series in my opinion. It would be better to do "return to Barrow" or "Eben and Stella". As a big fan of the graphic novel's I am still gald to see that something is going to be done to continue this series on film.

I like the 1st one but, seems like anytime a Sequel goes right to DVD it is not that good. Also new actors, and all kinda suck but, I still may check it out since I liked the 1st one. I don't have high hopes for it tho hope it's good.
