30 DAYS OF NIGHT: MOVIE PRESS CONFERENCE

In a year of one No. 1 comic-book movie after another, there might just be one more.

Sony Pictures -- which has already scored with Ghost Rider and Spider-Man 3 -- is releasing 30 Days of Night, based on the IDW Publishing comic book, on Oct. 14.

The film was part of Sony's recent presentation at Comic-Con International, and the studio also conducted a small press conference with stars Josh Hartnett and Ben Foster, director David Slade, producer Sam Raimi and the comic's creators, Steve Niles and Ben Templesmith.
