Another comic book adaptation is in the works, according to Cinescape this week. The rights to "30 Days of Night" have been snapped up by Columbia Pictures.

It appears that Josh Hartnett is trying to get the lead role of the sheriff in the adaptation.

The story of the comic itself concerns a town in the USA which every year goes through a whole month of complete darkness. One year, when this happens, in typical horror film style, evil things start creeping out of the darkness with only the sheriff and his wife (who´s also a sheriff) to stop them.

This is supposedly one of the better horror comics of recent years so it may be worth keeping our eyes on.

Join us in the forum to discuss the movie, and the immortal question of how does a town which experiences no sunlight for 30 days a year encourage its citizens to use solar power. You see, we care about the environment here too!
