Trailer for the movie “Daybreakers”coming out in 2010, featuring Ethan Hawke (it’s about a virus that turns people into vampires, and humans being farmed for blood)! Check it out on the Examiner.com Io9 has a great re-cap of last week’s latest True Blood episode (pictures and all). I am so disappointed that we won’t get to see anything new this weekend, but at least they will replay the first 3 episodes… Possibility of “An American Werewolf in London” re-make? (apparently the original director sold the rights to Dimension films). Read more on TheDeadbolt. Hey! Did anyone know there was a show on Lifetime called “Blood Ties”? It’s based on the Blood Books series from Tanya Huff. I had NO idea, just like I had no idea about the Moonlight show. Well, I guess all of this reading is keeping me away from watching TV, but still…how am I missing these vampire shows? I just read about it on ExpressNightOut… Quick video interview with Nikki Reed and Rachelle Lefevre from the Twilight Saga (see it on OntheFlix.com)  The Examiner.com has a trailer for the Guillermo del Toro’s new book series “The Strain” (includes some extremely CREEPY pictures of the vampires – ugh!! I prefer my handsome but deadly ones)… TVOvermind reviews the Vampire Diaries TV show plot  (may be spoilers – careful!) Interview with Jackson Rathbone (plays Jasper) about New Moon as found on Starlog.com Ontheflix has a video interview with Peter Facinelli (Dr. Carlisle Cullen) in the Twilight Saga Stephen Moyer (Bill of True Blood) discusses his role in the show (including his struggles to stay “pale” for the role).

True Blood news of the day – 06/09/09

True Blood is starting again this Sunday at 9pm! Get your DVR’s ready, it promises to be an exciting season!

  • Aceshowbiz reports that Charlaine Harris will appear in the season two finale of True Blood!
  • Variety.com gives a quick synopsis of this upcoming season. Something about a GRUESOME scene in the 2nd hour of the show. I wanna see! I wanna see!
  • We’ve all been wondering if “Bubba” would be included in the show? Apparently not. While I found him to be quite a *kick* in the books, I was wondering how that was going to work out exactly, show-wise. That, and more on the upcoming season as found on 1o9.com
  • UGO has a list of spoilers for season 2. Don’t click it! I know you want to but don’t!
  • SciFiWire had a great interview with Alan Ball, where he discloses some info about the upcoming season including more on his decision to not including “Bubba”.
  • BuddyTV has more on the show (with a comment from Stephen Moyer about his true life relationship with Anna Paquin, and how it fits in with the show). Personally, I hope the upcoming love triangle (or dare I say, triangleS) will not be omitted from the upcoming seasons…
  • A video interview with Ryan Kwanten (plays Jason). Watch it on The Insider.
  • Exclusive interview with Stephen Moyer (Bill) on Daemon’s TV. Stephen alludes to the upcoming love triangle at the end of season 2 and upcoming season 3 (between Sookie, Bill & Eric). Lots of good romantic, or perhaps in the case of the show, *sexual* tension and I’m happy to hear that Alan Ball appears to be following the book at least on that aspect.
  • DreadCentral has 4 new clips to watch. One includes Eric and Bill (yum!)
  • Six new True Blood “Viral Videos”on MovieWeb

    It’s coming soon! Season 2 of True Blood, to entertain and titillate us with more hunky vampires. In the meantime, perhaps these articles can help you through the wait 🙂

  • Hilarious picture of the an ad for True Blood season two and details about the viral campaign as found on ARGNet (very clever!)
  • More fake ads for Vampires (to help promote the upcoming season of True Blood) as found on Creativity.
  • Quick interview with Anna Paquin about her role as “Sookie” found on BuddyTV
  • The NY Times presents an EXCELLENT article/interview with Charlaine Harris (author of the hugely successful book series, The Southern Vampire Mysteries that True Blood is based on). The article discusses her status as No.1  on the NY Times Best Seller list for her book “Dead and Gone” (which was highly anticipated – by ME! haha), how much she sold her first book in the series for, and how much more her new contract is worth. We get a glimpse into her personal life and writing styles, and learn that due to her successes, she is finally able to rest and enjoy her life more. Yay Charlaine!! A happy author is a creative author!
  • The Cinema Post has a gallery of latest Character Art Posters (quite nice).
  • The Trades has an interview with William Sanderson (who plays Sheriff Bud Dearborne). He discusses his character, his opinions one what others think of “Southerners”, and all of the different places they film, to create the show (Fangtasia is actually filmed in L.A. and Longbeach) – hrmph – who knew?
  • Another great interview with William Sanderson on IGN.com (lots of comments about the show and characters/actors)
  • Recent miscellaneous photos of the cast members of True Blood (at NY Post)
  • Buddy TV has an EXCELLENT “behind the scenes” clip including quick interviews with the cast and scenes from the upcoming season. Can I just say…OH YES to Eric (tee-hee!). I miss the hair, but the sex appeal is still ALL there. How will I be able to stand only one weekly dose…

  • My favorite news of it all, is that they have cast the QUEEN Vampire “Sophie-Anne Leclerq”, and she will be played by Evan Rachel Wood (I actually pictured Evan Rachel Wood as a head Master vamp for the Anita Blake series “Guilty Pleasures” book) – so this will definitely work!
  • Here’s a preview clip (on Entertainment Weekly) to the next season of True Blood (cool – bloody tears!!)
  • An awesome video clip compilation “teaser” of the upcoming True Blood season 2 found on “Socialite Life” (scroll down the page a bit once you get there)
  • Silly video of Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer caught by TMZ where Stephan’s response to the photographers is “What’s Twilight?”
  • Great HBO season 2 poster found on ScreenRant (nice design but look closely – cool image within the image!)

  • A new cast member has been added to season 2. The nerdy/geeky head vampire of Dallas, “Stan”, will be played by Ed Quinn (he used to be on the show “Eureka”). Wow! He’s kinda handsome to be playing a nerd, but I’m anxious to see what they come up with. Come to think of it, Sookie did make a comment in the book, something along the lines of how underneath his nerdiness, he definitely had potential, and she deduced that it was probably a disguise of sorts. If I recall correctly, “Pam” also found him to her liking (she likes the geeks)…so I say good choice!
  • I also am providing a link to a great new interview at Eonline, with the actors in regards to the upcoming love triangle drama, and how they feel in real life about this situation (considering Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer are a couple in real life). Enjoy!
  • Here is a link to the IGN website with a great synopsis of the upcoming season 2 of True Blood (careful when reading – there ARE spoilers). There are also quick descriptions of character sentiments as detailed by cast members, and series creator Alan Ball at the recent Paley Fest.
