In an interview with Sci-Fi Wire, Producer Rob Tapert said that Steve Niles has read the script adaptation of his supernatural graphic novel "30 Days of Night" and was happy with it - "Steve has read [screenwriter Stuart Beattie's] draft that we just turned in to the studio and thought it was the absolute best representation of the graphic novel. So he was incredibly pleased. And right now we're just waiting for the studio to get back to us as to how they want to proceed there".
The vampire story set in the Arctic Circle, where it remains dark for a month each winter, is being handled under Tapert & Sam Raimi's Ghost House Pictures banner which was originally designed as a low budget horror film producer - don't expect this movie to be shy on budget though - "Because it was such an expensive process, such an expensive movie to make, all set in the snow, we—Ghost House and our partners at Senator Entertainment—partnered right away with Sony on it, because it was going to be a $50 or $60 or $70 million movie. We know that they're very excited with having read it. I think we're going to meet in the coming week or so".
