Stephen Moyer talks about Twilight star Robert Pattinson and True Blood’s younger audience:
True Blood star Stephen Moyer has insisted that he does not view Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson as competition.
The HBO series, which co-stars Anna Paquin, has frequently been compared to the Twilight movie franchise because both projects feature vampires as main characters.
Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, Moyer said: “No, [he is not competition]. I could be his dad. I’d have to have started young but…
“I think there are worse things for a teen to be enraptured with than Twilight. I can understand why you would give someone that book and say, this is good, it’s about a chaste love affair, please fall in love with Robert Pattinson.”
He added: “Our show’s very different, of course, and has its place. Although sometimes I’ll get 10 or 11 year olds coming up and asking for my autograph, and I say, ‘Have you seen that show?’ and they go, ‘Yeah, love it’.
“I couldn’t sit in the same room as my mother and watch that show. I mean, it’s seriously racy.”
The season finale airs tonight at 9/8 EST on HBO! Be sure not to miss it, I’m sure it’s going to be amazing:
Summary: Bon Temps reaches a fever pitch as Maryann prepares for her ultimate bestial sacrifice, conscripting Sookie to be Maid of Honor at the bloody nuptials. Meanwhile, Sophie-Anne warns Eric to keep the lid on Bill’s inquisitiveness; Jason leads Andy into the heroic abyss; and Hoyt struggles with Maxine’s endless stream of insults. Deliberating on what may be his final move to save Sookie and the town, Sam places his trust, and his life, in a most unlikely ally.
Alexander Skarsgard recently appeared on KCRW’s “Guest DJ Project”, which is a Santa-Monica based radio station wherein various celebrities make song dedications on the air.Alexander selected five songs:
Song 1: Rolling Stones, “Mother’s Little Helper”
He spent a week at his dad’s country house in southern Sweden. His dad’s grandfather built that house, which has no running water. When Alex was a kid, they’d go out and pump water and sing that song. At the time he didn’t know a word of English, but he would shout gibberish and it was a cool thing to share with his dad.
“I want to dedicate this song to my old man and I want to thank him for not building a Jacuzzi out there or an infinity pool or anything like that.”
Rutina Wesley (Tara Thornton) was recently interviewed by E’s Chelsea! The interview is hilarious and we find out some interesting things about Rutina:
Anna recently sat down with Britain’s Elle for an interview wherein she discusses her relationship with co-star Stephen Moyer:
“What makes relationships so difficult with my job is all the traveling and being away from your significant other,” she tells Britain’s Elle for its October issue. “Eventually it gets too hard to maintain.”
But since the Oscar-winning actress, 27, began dating her TV vampire costar Stephen Moyer in February, life has been a dream, as they get to hang out constantly.
“It’s great to have the freedom to enjoy your work and not feel like you’re leaving your other life behind,” the New Zealand-raised Paquin says. “It’s a pretty sweet setup.”
Boston fans are in luck because Rutina Wesley (Tara Thornton) and Nelsan Ellis (Lafayette) will be in Boston on Saturday, September 5th where they will be hosting a vampire themed party:
The actors will host a vamped-up party at Kings, which will be called “Fangtasia” just for the night. According to club’s press release, “Ellis and Wesley will work the crowd and meet and greet with fans during the sinister party that will draw the undead and college students alike into Boston’s own Fangtasia, complete with coffins, creatures and plenty of delicious ‘True Blood’ beverages.”
The actors will also ask all guests to donate blood on behalf of the American Red Cross.
Last Sunday’s episode “2×10: New World In My View” managed to give True Blood it’s highest rating thus far:
These vampires can’t be stopped. HBO’s True Blood has posted another record high, luring over 5.3 million viewers into its vamp den over the weekend. It’s a trend that is sort of unheard of, True Blood’s second season is winding to a close and the ratings continue to climb, climb, climb. Great stuff.
In her interview with Nylon magazine, Anna Paquin shared her thoughts on doing nude scenes and what it’s like to go blonde:
“I don’t think a naked body is particularly shocking or interesting,” the 27-year-old “True Blood” star told Nylon for its September issue.
“It’s not the culture I was raised in,” Paquin said. “I was not brought up in the United States. I don’t share the [attitude] that you can have graphic violence, but — God forbid — you see someone’s nipples.”
Paquin also told Nylon that it’s been interesting to see how people approach her now that she’s gone blonde for the role.
“I don’t look like a Barbie doll, and probably never will,” she says. “People are incredibly literal in how they view you. You have dark hair and pale skin? You must be brooding. The second you dye your hair blonde and get a spray tan, people treat you as if you’re a bit stupider and happier. Suddenly, it’s like you’re hot and sexy.”
Stephen Moyer is rumored to star in a new film entitled “Priest” alongside Cam Gigandet (Twilight, Never Back Down). Filming is set to begin this week, here’s a brief synopsis:
The thriller, which is based on a comic book, tells the story of a priest (played by Brit actor Paul Bettany) who rebels against his church to avenge a group of murderous vampires who have kidnapped his niece.
Twilight’s Cam will play a non-vampire character who helps the priest avenge his niece, while True Blood’s Moyer plays the brother of the clergyman.
Deborah Ann Woll, otherwise known to True Blood fans as Bon Temps’ newest teenage vampire Jessica, has landed herself a movie role! Woll’s new movie, “Mother’s Day”, is a remake of the 1980 cult horror film:
The original film, from legendary genre specialist Troma Entertainment, revolved around three female friends who, while camping, run afoul of two brothers who engage in murder and rape to impress their deranged mother.
The remake sees the villainous family,slightly expanded to include a daughter (Woll), return to the house where they grew up and terrorize the new owners and their guests.
It will be directed by Darren Lynn Bousman, who shot three of the “Saw” movies. The producers are eyeing a spring release timed for Mother’s Day with a shoot to begin in the fall in Manitoba.
