David Slade to helm 30 Days of Night
ComingSoon.net (via) reports that British director David Slade has been hired by Sam Raimi’s Ghost House Pictures to helm the adaptation of the Steve Niles-Ben Templesmith horror comic 30 Days Of Night.
ComingSoon.net spoke to Slade about his vision for the film, which starts shooting in the summer in Alaska and New Zealand. “Brian Nelson’s writing the script, so that means we have a very original take on the genre,” he said. “Indeed, I don’t believe there’s much of the genre left in what we’ve written, but it’s very faithful both to Steve Niles’ writing, and the town and the esthetic–we hope at this point, because we’re not shooting until the summer–will be very close to Ben Templesmith’s artwork. But we’re going to maintain the level of realism.”
