Exclusive: Steve Niles on ‘30 Days of Night: Dark Days’

Call it counter-programming. At a time when vampire romance tales threaten to completely extinguish any reminder that the undead were once creatures to be feared rather than swooned over, shooting has at long last begun on the sequel to 30 Days of Night, the Josh Hartnett-starring film adaptation of Steve Niles fan-favorite comic book. Filling in for the Melissa George, the first film’s heroine/survivor is Lost’s Kiele Sanchez, who’s joined by genre veteran Mia Kirshner and Sanchez’s fellow Lostie Harold Perrineau. Last week we chatted with Niles from his home in LA about what we can expect from 30 Days of Night: Dark Days.

How did this come about in the wake of the first film?

We thought the first 30 Days did really well. It did really good at the box office and has certainly gained a lot of popularity online. So we were pushing that right from the get go. But at first we didn’t get the immediate response we wanted. Then [director] Ben [Katai] and I made the deal to just go ahead and do the script. We had such a great time doing the script, pretty soon after that we got the whole thing greenl it. This is really the strangest project in that it went from one week when it didn’t look like it was going to happen to the next week, when they were like, “Pack your bags for Vancouver.” I’ve never had anything turn around so fast. I think a lot of that goes to Ben and the script, and what he’s been doing with directing and keeping this project moving forward. It took sevens years to get 30 Days of Night on the screen so that was like the ultimate slow grind and then this was all the sudden, “It’s happening!” I’ve never had that happen.

Exclusive: Producer Talks 30 Days of Night: Dark Days From the Set

Dread Central hit the set of Sony’s 30 Days of Night: Dark Days earlier this month – the film wraps principal photography today in Vancouver, Canada, under the watchful eye of co-scripter (with Steve Niles) and director Ben Ketai – and while there sat down with producer JR Young (among others) to discuss the flick (cast interviews to come).

“This is a very edgy film,” Young, who previously produced The Messengers, told Dread while intently watching a scene being played out in video village – a scene which featured a rather hysterical and bloody actress (Katherine Isabelle) pleading for her life. “Ben knows this world. I think it comes natural to him.”

Starring Kiele (A Perfect Getaway) Sanchez, Mia (De Palma’s The Black Dahlia) Kirschner, Rhys (“Entourage”) Coiro, Diora (Night of the Demons) Baird, Harold (“Lost”) Perrineau, Troy (A Marine Story) Ruptash, Jackson Berlin, John De Santis, Marco Sorian, Monique (Cabin in the Woods) Ganderton, and the previously-mentioned horror-fave Katherine (Ginger Snaps, “Supernatural”) Isabelle, Dark Days appears poised according to Young to be a rather faithful adaptation of Niles’ graphic novel of the same name.

CSI: NY 6.04 screencaps

I’ve just updated the gallery with screencaps of Mia’s appearance in episode 6.04 of CSI: NY. She was great as always and Rose Rollins even made an appearance in the episode. They weren’t in any scenes together, but it was neat to see them in the same ep nonetheless.

Another new look and other stuff

I decided to change things up again with another new theme that was more personalized than the last one. I hope you guys will like it. :)

Please accept my apologies again for the lack of updates over recent months. As you know, my online time has been extremely limited and I’m still not sure when things will slow down enough for me to focus on regular updates. I’ve got tons of stuff to add that I’ve collected and that some of you have sent in and I’d love to get it all online, it just takes a lot of time to sort through things and add them and it’s time that I just don’t have right now. I will do my best to get at least a few things added soon though.

Would anyone be interested in becoming a news staffer to help keep the news section updated? It wouldn’t be a lot of work, as there’s not a lot going on with Mia at the moment, but it would be super helpful. Just email me if you’re interested at miakirshneronline@gmail.com and we can go over the details.

Mia Kirshner’s fundraiser for I-live-here

I had the pleasure of meeting Mia Kirshner on Saturday, Aug 22. She was hosting a fundraiser for her charity, I-live-here.

It was a wonderful event for a great cause.

Mia Kirshner is an actress who starred in Showtime’s, “The L Word” for six years. She has been in numerous films and TV movies. Not only is she a brilliant actress, but a devoted humanitarian as well. She is very passionate about the work she is doing, which I find very admirable.

I-live-here is a book that she started about eight years ago. It’s a paper documentary about heart wrenching stories from four areas in the world that are having big problems. Chechnya, (is in midst of a war) Burma (ethnic cleansing), Mexico (globalization) and Malawi (AIDS). The book (which is four books inside a hard cover book that folds up) is told from the people in these countries. It’s their stories, and Mia and her team are bringing this to our attention. The things that are going on over there, shouldn’t be.

Right now there is a Humanitarian Emergency situation in Malawi. Conditions have worsened since Mia was last there a few years ago. Most people probably don’t even know this is going on…..

AfterEllen Interview with Mia Kirshner

Who killed Jenny Schecter? A mere five months ago, that was the burning question on lesbian lips in living rooms and local bars from Los Angeles to Little Falls, New Jersey.

Mia Kirshner (Miss Conception, The Black Dahlia, 24) — the astonishing actor who played Jenny, and managed to find the humanity in a character known for uttering, “Adele, the appliqué on the back of your jeans was declared an abomination by the Geneva Convention,” and other psychotic bon mots — is in fact a thoughtful woman who’d rather spend time with her friends than bask in the spotlight of Hollywood.

After a record six years as Showtime’s longest running original series, The L Word finally ended in March, putting our love-to-hate relationship with Jenny Schecter to rest, not to mention relieving us of those annoying alliterations.

What many people don’t know is, all that time, Mia was also focused on humanitarian issues, and in October, 2008, she published her first book, I Live Here, a collection of “visually stunning” narratives told through journals, stories and images, by refugees and displaced people from around the world.
