Vampire Diaries news of the day 05-23-09
Thanks to some of my favorite Twitterers (tvdnewsΒ and Vampire Diaries TV), I have beenΒ getting a plethora of great info on the upcoming show (that, and the new promo that keeps playing on CW)! So here are some details I have been able to compile:
LJ Smith – The Vampire Diaries Series Reading Order
UPDATED MAY 12th 2020!!!
MUCH LOVED VAMPIRE SERIES/HUGE LOVE TRIANGLE ALERT!! This was one of the very first that I read, back in 2009 when I fell head over heels with Twilight and wanted to read more angsty vampire love stories like it! I wanted that feeling back and this one worked for me, big time (at least the few books). I haven’t read the others yet.
Molly:Β I got into the Vampire Diaries series, and was not disappointed!! I am turning 48 it his month and I am not ashamed to admit that I love these books!!
Latest Vampire Diaries Show News:
While we are all eagerly anticipating the upcoming series, I thought I would keep myself (and all of you) informed on the latest updates. So far, this is what I have gathered:
- It will be featured on the CW (perhaps as soon as this fall!)
- DAMON will be played by Ian Somerhalder GOOD choice!! While I read the series, I imagined Damon to look like “Jason Behr” (in his representation of Varek – the bad guy in ‘Skinwalkers”). Ian Somerhalder was the gorgeous character “Boone”Β in Lost’s first season.
- STEFANΒ will be played by Paul Wesleywho appeared on shows such as “Everwood” &Β “Fallen”. While I am not too familiar with this actor, he does have a sweet face. I was imagining someone more along the lines of James MarsdenΒ (as physically, at least, he seems to match the character description).
- ELENA will be played by Nina Dobrev(she was originally from Degrassi: The Next Generation). While she is definitely pretty enough, I was actuallyΒ thinking she’d be blonder…
- BONNIE will be played by Katerina Graham(definitely beautiful but waaaiiiit a minute! I thought she was supposed to be a curly haired redhead!)
- MATT HoneycuttΒ (aka “Mutt”) will be played by Zach Roerig. Yup! That works for me!
- CAROLINE will be Candice Accola (works for me too!)
- TYLER will be played by Michael Trevino (hey I remember him! He was Ozzie from updated version of 90210)
- JEREMY GILBERT (not a character I’m familiar with in the books) but in the series is Elena’s brother and will be played by Steven R. McQueen
- Matt’s sister will be played by Kayla Ewell (wow she’d make a wonderful Meredith). SheΒ used to beΒ on Entourage.
While I am basing my own judgements of these selections on the books’ physical descriptions alone, we all know that a good actor can change our mind quickly, and CAN become the perfect representation of a character. I can’t wait to see these guys in action!
I have found a few very interesting reviews of the script, and have linked them for you here. It makes for some interesting reading, however, overall it appears the TV series will stray from the original books (added characters, different backgrounds, etc…).Β TheseΒ discussions and reviewsΒ may contain spoilers so go at your own risk:
