Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has released a gallery of images from 30 Days of Night: Dark Days, the home market sequel to 30 Days of Night due on Oct. 5.
The film's cast features Kiele Sanchez, Harold Perrineau, Mia Kirshner, Diora Baird and Rhys Coiro. From production company Ghost House Pictures, 30 Days of Night: Dark Days
was co-written by Steve Niles, the creator of the original graphic novels, along with director Ben Ketai.
Here's how the film is described:
"It's been almost a year since the Alaskan town of Barrow's population was decimated by vampires during its annual month-long sunset. Riddled with grief over the death of her husband, bound by nightmares and void of all emotions beyond hate and sorrow, Stella (Sanchez) has spent the past months traveling the world, trying to convince others that vampires exist. Met with skepticism and laughter, Stella is ready to throw in the towel when a group of lost souls (Coiro, Baird and Perrineau) offers an incredible opportunity: the chance to exact revenge upon Lilith (Kirshner), the vampire queen responsible for the assault on Stella's sleepy Alaskan town. With nothing remaining to live for, and nothing left to fear, Stella joins their mission and ventures into the uncharted underbelly of Los Angeles where she pushes herself to the most extreme limits to stop the evil from striking again."
