During the course of the 2008 American Film Market, word on the street is that a sequel to 30 Days of Night, the David Slade film based on the comic by Steve Niles is in the works. The plan was for Niles and Ghost House regular Ben Ketai to pen an adaptation of Dark Days, the direct follow-up graphic novel.
Niles tells MTV that a script for Dark Days is complete and Ghost House is aiming to bring the sequel to life on DVD. "We didn’t hit that magic $100 million, but I had a long talk with Sam," Niles tells the site. "He called me and just said, 'Don't be too quick to judge this direct-to-DVD market, especially with the sci-fi market.'"
In Days, Stella Oleson moves to Los Angeles and writes a book about the events that took place in Barrow, Alaska in an effort to draw the vampires out of hiding so she can seek revenge. Niles penned a third chapter, "Return to Barrow," the he is hopeful will eventually reach the screen, too.

I actually think that's a great idea. That way, instead of waiting for Sarah Michelle Gellar to finally say yes to the Buffy movie, we can get some hot action from Melissa george, who I haven't seen kick ass since her one season stretch on Alias. Only one thing though; who says vampires read?
