30 Days of Night Trailer
(Quicktime/Windows Media Version)
Interesting twist on an old premise? Check. An young director who has already shown talent in an earlier, smaller movie? Check. From a well respected source material? Check. A very nice trailer that leaves you wanting to see more? Check. Me very interested? Double Check.
I have been very interested in this movie ever since I saw the awesome Hard Candy, which was also directed by David Slade. That movie was very small, and it happened in a very constrained environment, so there was always the possibility that he wouldn’t be able to handle a movie which required more visual range. But the trailer looks great, so I’m not very worried anymore.
And hate on me if you like, but I don’t particularly dislike Josh Hartnett. No, he wouldn’t be my first choice for this, but I’m pretty sure he can handle it well enough. Or at least I hope so.
30 Days of Night opens October 19th.
