30 Days of Night (2007)
Vampires descend on an Alaskan town facing a month without sunrise. The idea is so good it feels stolen from someone smarter.
Actor: Josh Hartnett
Josh Hartnett was positioned as a major leading man around Pearl Harbor and Black Hawk Down, and turned down Superman, Batman and Spider-Man in succession, then largely stepped back from Hollywood.
He has been open that the pressure and the loss of privacy were the reasons, and that the decision cost him the career he might have had.
Penny Dreadful, Oppenheimer and Trap have brought a substantial return, and Lucky Number Slevin is the underrated one from the earlier period.
