Ghost House Pictures have published another behind-the-scenes clip for David Slade’s cinematic adaptation of 30 Days of Night. In the short video Steven Kay explains the process of building Barrow, the location for the story. Although it’s not particularly enlightening, there are links to previous videos from the same page.
Produced by Sam Raimi and Robert Tapert, the project is based on a 2002 graphic novel of the same name created by Steve Niles, Ben Templesmith and Ted Adams. The story is set in Barrow, Alaska, where 30 days of continual winter darkness makes the town the perfect feeding ground for vampires. Josh Hartnett and Melissa George star.

In an online chat today at Yahoo!, Alex Kurtzman and Bob Orci, writers of the upcoming live-action adaptation of Transformers, revealed some juicy tidbits about the film. As promised when this chat was first announced yesterday, the writers revealed the names of the robots that will be appearing in the film, which hits theaters next July.
I prefer Obama to McCain. Now, McCain’s better than average for a Republican. And though his ads are intellectually offensive, he’s just bowing to his campaign masters and would calm down and be more sane once in office and not campaigning. But I have a few concerns with McCain on foreign policy. He’s not a full-fledged Neocon. That’s good. He opposed Reagan on Lebanon. Good. He was critical of Bush’s initial strategy in Iraq. That’s good. But there’s a problem. He thinks the Vietnam war was winnable and that the US shouldn’t have withdrawn. He’s also eager to spread democracy with force. This just isn’t a good set of beliefs for inheriting Iraq.
