Moviefone has published a new interview with Diora, which is a very interesting and enjoyable read. Click here to read the full interview in our press library.

“It’s unfortunate because I feel like I could work so much more if I wasn’t pickier, but I feel like the lasting of that won’t be very long. I want long term. I mean, I’ve been in L.A. for over a decade and I’ve been working without a day job, so to speak, for five years now, so I’ve already waited this long. But after doing this movie, it made me realize that I want to do this — I really want to do more action, and I hope people to respond to it as much as I liked doing it. I got a kick out of it; I don’t normally like watching myself on screen and I actually, not to sound completely vain, completely enjoyed it. And I actually just finished another movie where I play a somewhat similar role — I play a bank robber — and I had so much fun. I just love being sweaty and dirty and gross and sassy and having to punch someone; I mean, I have no idea what I’m doing, and I’ve never even come close to punching someone, and here I am knocking someone out. Awesome!”

“That’s not to say that I won’t ever do something that requires nudity; I mean, I’ve come close to doing it many times, and if it was something that needed to happen — if I was working with a talented filmmaker, a Polanski, I would be like, what? ‘You want me to put on a dildo? Alright, I’ll do it! I’ll f*ck that doll.’”

As you may notice, our gallery layout now matches with the main site. Many thanks to our friend Mycah for her help making it all pretty!

I have updated the gallery with screencaps from the 30 Days of Night: Dark Days and Night of the Demons trailers. Check out the new, kick ass Night of the Demons trailer at Bloody Disgusting. A few words from Diora regarding the trailer:

Due to some of your comments, let me make this clear. In the trailer for, well, lets just call it ‘Film by idiot f*ck heads’……

…I am NOT naked. That is NOT me. Nor do I get naked in the movie. What you see is just a prosthetic piece. In the movie, that is obvious.

And there you have it!

Speaking of the movie, Night of the Demons New York premiere screening will take place Friday, October 15, 2010 at 11:30pm @ Cinema Village, New York.

While at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, we had a chance to sit down with the folks behind 30 Days of Night: Dark Days – producer J.R. Young, director Ben Katai, and stars Rhys Coiro, Kiele Sanchez, and Diora Baird – and by doing so, we dug up some interesting things about the sequel for you to sink your teeth into. Dig it!

Co-written by Ketai and Steve Niles, Dark Days stars Kiele (A Perfect Getaway) Sanchez (who takes over the role of ‘Stella’ from actress Melissa George from the original 30 Days of Night), Mia (De Palma’s The Black Dahlia) Kirshner, Rhys (Entourage) Coiro, Diora (Night of the Demons) Baird, Harold (Lost) Perrineau, Troy (A Marine Story) Ruptash, and Monique (Cabin in the Woods) Ganderton.

Look for it on DVD and Blu-ray on October 5th!

Diora Baird was drawn to the film because these were “vampires minus the glitter. These vampires are not sexy or hot. You see these vampires you want to run.”

Here’s a report of the 30 Days of Night: Dark Days panel at Comic Con last week, courtesy of ShockTillYouDrop.com. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find any videos or all that many photos from the event but we’ll continue to keep our eyes peeled!

I’m a bit late to the panel as I had to come across SDCC to get here. Much of the cast minus Mia Kirshner and Harold Perrineau are on the panel along with the writer/director Ben Ketal and writer Steve Niles.

Luckily, I didn’t miss much. They show the trailer to Dark Days just as I get in and it looks pretty cool. Lots of vampires. Lots of big, tough characters and so on. How well it will carry to entire film is another story. Overall not too shabby.

They then take Facebook questions? What the hell? The room is standing room only, although there are plenty of seats, and you are taking Facebook questions?

Via Diora’s Twitter:
