Red Band Trailer for 30 Days of Night Sequel Doesn't Suck

News, Trailers

Sony has unveiled a new red-band trailer for 30 Days of Night: Dark Days, the upcoming sequel to David Slade’s 2007 vampire horror flick.

Based on a comic book miniseries by writer Steve Niles and artist Ben Templesmith, Dark Days picks up a year after the original film’s bloody climax. Here’s an official synopsis:

“It’s been 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 (Kiele 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 (Harold Perrineau, Rhys Corio and Diora Baird) offers an incredible opportunity: the chance to exact revenge upon Lilith (Mia Kirshner), the vampire queen responsible for the assault on her 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.”

30 Days of Night: Dark Days will be available on DVD and a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack on October 5, 2010. Special features will include filmmaker commentary and a featurette that explores the film’s production design, make-up effects and cinematography.

Suggested retail prices for the Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack is $30.95 and $24.96 for the DVD. 30 Days of Night: Dark Days has a run time of approximately 92 minutes and is rated R for bloody violence, language and some sexual content.
