Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with some news for ya' horror lovers out there. Steve Niles and Brian Templesmith's comic series 30 DAY OF NIGHT is in the works. We know that. Word is they're looking to film in New Zealand. Now they've attached Josh Hartnett to star, as one of a husband and wife duo of law-enforcers in a small Alaskan town. This town experiences 30 full days without sunlight during their winter and a gang of nasty vamps take full advantage of that.

I think Hartnett gets a lot of shit from fandom (sometimes justifiably), but I think he's got his own brand of charisma going on. I thought he was great in LUCKY NUMBER SLEVEN recently. He's still looking for that perfect role, I think. Will it be 30 DAYS OF NIGHT? I don't know, but I do know that the comic was really damn cool, so count me hopeful.
