This scribe recently caught up with Sony’s 30 Days of Night: Dark Days co-scripter (with Steve Niles) and director Ben Ketai, who filled us in on the status of his sequel to director David Slade’s 2007 vampire chiller 30 Days of Night.

Dread was on-set during the principal photography of Dark Days last November in Vancouver. See that item here.

“We’re in the last couple of weeks of post-production,” Ketai, who previously helmed the 30 Days web series, said of Dark Days in early April. “It’s the home stretch here. We are in that last stage where every little bit you put into it makes it that much better: the sound, the color, and every new effects shot that goes in – it’s really exciting.”

Have you made your Mother’s Day plans yet, “Vampire Diaries” fans? After Thursday night’s episode, “Isobel,” you’re going to want to make sure you show your mom how grateful you are that she’s not a soulless creepster dead-behind-the-eyes vampire. Flowers and breakfast in bed might not cut it.

Mia Kirshner has appeared as Isobel in several of Alaric’s flashbacks this season, but as Damon has proven time and again, once a person has been turned, they’re never quite the same. Tonight, we’ll finally see what immortality and a handful of superpowers have done for Isobel. More importantly, Elena will finally see it.

Tonight’s episode came with a special treat for fans on Twitter. Star Nina Dobrev as well as creators Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec live-tweeted during the episode. If you missed it, don’t worry! I have all the highlights from their Twitter session below.

Mia Kirshner will re-enter “The Vampire Diaries” scene bigger than before. After it was revealed in earlier episode of the hit series that Kirshner’s Isobel is Elena’s birth mother, writers decide to go full length in exploring the story of this family tie.

In fact, The CW has specially made a poster that highlights both Elena and Isobel under the tagline “connected to her mother by blood, not love”. Released via E! Online, the art is to promote the May 6 episode which is aptly called “Isobel”. According to E!, Isobel will shock her ex-husband Alaric when she cruises back into town and demands a meeting with the daughter she fought so hard to keep away, Elena.

A source said the mother-daughter reunion will not be all pretty and sweet. The story arc will lead to the season finale on May 13, but Isobel will first re-appear on the show’s April 29 episode.

I updated the gallery this morning with HD screencaps of Mia’s performance in episode 1.15 A Few Good Men. In addition to the new screencaps, I also recently added some additional stills from the upcoming episode Isobel. Now that I’ve actually seen the show from the beginning and understand what’s going on and what role Mia plays in everything, I’m quite excited about the next few episodes. I can’t believe I didn’t start watching this from the get-go because it’s quite a fun show once you get a couple of episodes in. Enjoy the new additions.

On tonight’s episode of The Vampire Diaries, David Anders debuts as Elena’s uncle, John.

But we’ve got even more exciting news regarding Elena’s family: she’ll soon be reunited with her birth mom, Alaric’s wife Isobel.

While the circumstances surrounding this meeting are unclear for now, the appearance of Isobel as a recurring character shouldn’t come as a shock. The show hired Mia Kirshner, a well-known actress, for the role.

As you can see, the site has a beautiful new design (featuring my all time favorite photoshoot from 1997) thanks to my friend Natalie. I’m totally in love with the fresh and clean new look and hope you will all like it as well.

While I’m here, I’d like to apologize for the recent lack of updates. I’ve been busy with real life stuff and just haven’t been terribly motivated to work on the site for a while. I hope to have some new updates for you soon though.
