The highly anticipated vampire movie does not open in theatres until tomorrow, but there has already been talks about a ’30 Days of Night’ sequel. Sam Raimi recently told reporters how the possibility of ‘Dark Days’ (the next story in the ’30 Days of Night’ graphic novel series) depends on how well the first film does with fans.
Sci Fi Wire gives us this:
Raimi said a sequel would depend on whether audiences demand one. “And then if they do, I’d probably huddle with Ben and Steve and my partner, Rob Tapert, and figure out what they thought it should be,” Raimi said. “Mostly I want to be true, if there was a sequel, to the books. I think that’s what got us here in the first place.”
Two more comic series followed the first one: Dark Days, which brings back Stella and some of the original vampires from the original, and Return to Barrow, which follows the story of the brother of one of the survivors of the original attack.
Although it’s nice that Sam Raimi says that he is relying on the fans to demand for a sequel, I think we all know audiences don’t need to DEMAND for a sequel for one to made. Honestly, they’re not waiting for fans’ reactions to the film. They’re waiting for the numbers to come in from opening weekend. If they’re good, (which they probably will be) expect a sequel. (In fact expect a trilogy!)
