Latest Vampire Related News – 12-16-09

By Leave a Comment

It’s been awhile since I’ve caught up on my paranormal/vampire news fix, so I thought I’d catch up, and catch you all up too (here’s the thing…I need to catch up BIG time, so some of this may already be old news to you…)

In a past tweet, Laurell K. Hamilton indicated that the Anita Blake TV series that was set to air on the IFC channel will not be airing (if I can recall it correctly, the direction wasn’t entirely to her liking)…AH! Found a link to her blog post, and here it is! Quite an interesting post, actually, as she goes into some detail about why the plans have fallen through, and then a few tidbits about each of our favorite characters, and what they mean to her (whaaaattt? Almost killed off Jean-Claude – NEVER say such a thing!! Take it back now!) read more

By 1 Comment

Here is a collection of vampire related news that I have gathered for you today 🙂

  • Get tickets to a screening of the Vampire Diaries in Ybor City (hey – that’s near me!!) by donating blood – Eeeek!! I’m feeling faint. It’s a great cause, too bad I’m scared of needles (blood is okay though…weird…). Read about it on TBO.com
  • The Examiner.com reports that Kate Beckinsale will NOT be returning to the fourth movie in the Underworld series…too bad because she’s GREAT in that role.
  • MTV.com has a great interview with “Hoyt” (the actor from the True Blood series) discussing the season finale, how he thinks the “Hoyt/Jessica” relationship is the most interesting romance plot of the season, and how popular “Alexander Skarsgård” has suddenly gotten (well hello!! of course! Did you see him in the episode where he loses his maker – and his clothes????)
  • Whoa! While I have tried to stay away from the “relationship” gossip, I had to comment on this! Did you hear that the Queen (Evan Rachel Wood) & the sheriff of Area 5 (Alexander Skarsgard) are perhaps dating, in real life? Now stop crying, we all knew this would happen. Go read about the gossip on shewired.com
  • New film called “Eulogy for a Vampire” set to play in New York on October 23rd. Read more on Shocktillyoudrop.com
  • L.J. Smith requests on her blog (as requoted on gossip.ie) that we give the new show “Vampire Diaries” a chance. I have no doubt myself that it will be popular, but I guess time will tell.
  • Examiner.com has two articles on Anna Paquin and her experiences with her love life, work etc… Here and here
  • Forks and Port Angeles Washington are getting ready for the upcoming week long “Twilight Fest” – also on Examiner.com

    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!!

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).

    I came across the pictures (found on Laineygossip.com) twittered (or is it “tweeted”?) by some awesome Twitterers and just had to share the link! These are the pics of my favorite part in the book, in Italy that will be in the upcoming movie “New Moon” (exactly as I imagined…)

    An excellent photo montage turned into a video of that same scene (even more pics included which complete the scene beautifully!). Found on newmoonmovie.org

    The official New Moon website is UP! more pics of

    Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson in Italy read more

    There are a lot of things I should be doing updates on—for example, how awesome and successful the Book Babe event was, and how cool it was to meet all the other authors and hang out with them a little bit, and how much I appreciated all the tremendous support from the fans—but instead of commenting on happy things (which I admit I should have done a week ago; I was waiting for things to slow down for a day, silly me!), I’m commenting on ridiculous internet rumors so that my publicist’s day will be just a little bit better. read more
