Update: 30 Days of Night Movie Adaptation
So what will Sam Raimi’s big screen version of Steve Niles’ 30 Days of Night be like? Read on, vampire fans!
Here’s an excerpt of an article from the Anchorage Press about the movie adaptation of Steve Niles’ 30 Days of Night which focuses on an Alaskan town beset by vampires during its shortest day of the year.
“Sam Raimi of Spider-Man fame has plans to produce the film version of 30 Days of Night. Raimi, a big a horror flick fan, proved his chops in the genre when he created the classic, campy Evil Dead. Around the time he was directing Spider-Man, Raimi launched Ghost House, a production company strictly dedicated to producing scary movies,” the article said.
“Filming of 30 Days of Night is at least a year away, probably longer, said Sue Binder, business manager of Ghost House. The production company plans to release three other movies before 30 Days of Night, she said. Meantime, Sony-owned Columbia Pictures is in the process of acquiring a script after passing on a screenplay Niles wrote last year. Niles said he's heard one of Sony's big guns is rewriting his script.”
