A sequel to "30 Days of Night," the 2007 adaptation of Steve Niles and Ben Templesmith's vampire comic book, is going to take a little longer than 30 days to arrive—but we're a little closer to seeing it today.
Bloody Disgusting has learned that "30 Days of Night: Dark Days" will begin shooting this October in Vancouver, Canada, with director Ben Ketai at the helm. Ketai collaborated on the "Dark Days" script with series creator Niles, and also directed a series of "30 Days of Night" webisodes as well.
"Dark Days" takes place in Los Angeles and focuses on Stella Oleson, the heroine of the first "30 Days of Night." Alongside a group of vampire hunters, Stella intentionally draws vampires out in the open in order to avenge the death of her husband Eben, played by Josh Hartnett in the 2007 horror flick.
While Stella is the new movie's central character, the website reports that the role will be recast. »

Today, Prof. Dan Snierson offers his overview of the work of J.J. Abrams. If you had to sum up J.J. Abrams neatly in just one word, it would be ...  kinda hard to do. He’s a cross-genre, multi-medium hyphenate who flies a geek flag of many colors. (The boy who grew up on The Twilight Zone, Mission Impossible, Get Smart, James Bond, and Star Wars has crafted a TV resume that boasts credits as diverse as Felicity and Fringe; his movie credits range from Regarding Henry to Cloverfield.)
