30 Days of Night: The movie - Teaser poster released!

[EvilAsh]

Anyone else REALLY looking forward to this movie?

 

[brasseye]

Not gotten around to reading the books, but given by all the hoopla, I assumed it was worth the effort.

The movie poster does look good, so I'm guessing they've put a bit of cash into the project.

 

And is that some kind of record for comic book to movie turn around time?

[MutantKeys]

Poster looks good. I havent read 30 days of night but have heard nothing but good things about the comic. I will definately check the movie out

[jordanscott]

also haven't read the books but they're on my list of things to get to eventually.

 

will just have to bump that up the list.

[brasseye]

Oh, and nice citation of a 'Graphic novel' as the source.

Shame most of joe public wouldn't really know what one is.

 

And in the corner of the artist, the writer's name probably go there But I guess it's more a question of marketting. A no-name writer, or some 'cool' alternative media medium.

 

Anyones guess from this point....

Poster looks great! Pretty excited for the movie as well. Hope they don't blow it as the premise is great. I hope they are able to maintain the creepy atmosphere that Templesmith's art portrayed.

 

Love both the 1st and 2nd series of 30 Days. The subsequent series weren't near as good.

[EvilAsh]

Well, for anyone who hasn't read the original 3-issue mini-series, I highly recommend picking it up in TPB format.

Ben Templesmith's art is fantastic, and Steve Niles' story rocks

 

 

I've read some of the sequels and spin-offs, but the original just can't be beat!

Also, look for those comics to skyrocket if the movie is a success

 

Heck, I might even have to part with mine if the money is right

I think I told you the story about when I bought a #1 at a con and got charged 1st print price for the second printing

I shouldve read it though since I paid so much

Those covers are seriously morbid. Something very hard to acheive without your usual blood/gore splatter option.

Yeah, the covers are what first pulled me to the series! I think they're absolutely amazing!

[Comic_Diva]

I'm so there. I can't wait.

30 Days of Night TPB Will Be Signed

First 7,500 Copies

 

January 12, 2003

IDW Publishing has announced that the first 7,500 copies of the 30 Days of Night trade paperback will come with a tipped-in plate featuring the signatures of creators Steve Niles (writer) and Ben Templesmith (artist). Since this "signed edition" actually represents an overprint, retailers can still place advance reorders and receive the signed editions. The book will remain in print after these copies are gone, but only the first 7,500 copies will include the tipped-in plates.

 

The trade paperback edition of the surprise hit horror comic also includes eight new pages of story that have not appeared in any of the 30 Days of Night comics, and, as a special bonus, Steve Niles' 24-page -script for the first issue of the comic series. The trade paperback edition will now contain 104 pages, but the price will remain the same as when it was solicited, $17.99.

 

30 Days of Night is a high concept comic -- vampires taking advantage of Alaska's month-long winter darkness -- that was sold to Hollywood before the first issue had even appeared. Even though the film version of 30 Days of Night is still in the planning and production phase, the comic series has done very well on its own, and the trade paperback edition was Diamond's #1 selling graphic novel for the month of January.
