During the weekend, Steve Niles attended the Baltimore Comic-Con where he explained the sequel has one major priority in mind...bringing back Melissa George as the female lead. George played Stella Oleson in the original film, where her husband played by Josh Hartnett whose death was caused by the vampires. In the sequel she will be traveling to Los Angeles to seek revenge on each vampire responsible for bringing her husband's life to an end as well as destroying her town. Rumors have recently surfaced making it appear she will no longer appear in the sequel but that's definitely not in the wishes of Niles.
"What we want to do is try to get Melissa back," the comics creater said. "Basically, she's the only survivor of the first movie, really, so there weren't that many people to bring back because they got killed. So we're going to try that, and all the other casting is new characters. We're actively doing that right now."
With the beginning of production drawing near in Vancouver next month, the team being the sequel must work fast in gathering the necessary casting.
