Talk Blood ( true Blood ep 4 ) Chatroom transcript
Mariana " Lorena" Klaveno Talks True Blood, Drops Season 3 Hints
The hit HBO vampire drama True Blood doesn’t return with new episodes until June 13th, but fans can rest assured that the filming of Season 3 is already well underway, and the upcoming season will feature a number of new faces, as well as expanded roles for some of the previous seasons’ familiar faces.
One such familiar face is Mariana Klaveno, who plays Lorena, the vampire responsible for turning Sookie Stackhouse’s (Anna Paquin) vampire boyfriend Bill (Stephen 
In this exclusive interview with IESB, Mariana Klaveno talked about how grateful she is to be working with such an amazing cast and crew, and how much fun it is to play such a wicked, but still very well-dressed, vampire.
IESB: How did you get into acting? Was it just something you had always wanted to do?
Mariana: It was something that I just always wanted to do, as a really small child. I can’t pinpoint any specific experience or inspiration that initiated it, but for as long as I can remember, I just always wanted to. It’s a little odd, considering where I come from. No one in my family is even remotely related to the entertainment industry, at all. But, I used to think up screenplays in my head, even as a 6-year-old, and I would go off on my own and play out little scenes. It seems sort of previous and silly now, but I really did.
IESB: How did you go from the dream to the reality?

BOONSBORO — When it comes to vampires, Charlaine Harris doesn't see them as evil, cloak-wearing characters from a Bram Stoker novel.
Instead, she likes to think of them as people living alternative lifestyles.
They're outrageous, audacious, steamy and funny.
And they love to have a bloody good time.
Harris will be the first to admit she's no expert on vampires. But she does know how to write a series of books that people can sink their teeth into.
And her fans will have a chance to meet her at the Washington Romance Writers' mega book signing event 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, April 16, at Turn the Page Bookstore Cafe in Boonsboro. She will be joined by more than a dozen other writers, including Nora Roberts.
The event precedes the annual retreat of the Washington Romance Writers, a chapter of the Romance Writers of America, that serves writers in the Washington, D.C., area

Anne Rice talks Vampires and Jesus: I Am Second campaign is preaching Jesus, reaching millions
Author Anne Rice starts her testimony while sitting, hands folded, in a white chair.
Rice talks directly into the camera. She is a former atheist and well-known novelist who wrote Interview With the Vampire and other vampire-themed books. She explains how the vampire fantasy explores loss of faith and the struggle between good and evil and how people cope when cut off from God -- all once aspects of her life.
Rice has reconnected with Jesus Christ and recently began sharing her story through the increasingly popular I Am Second campaign.
Check out “Vamped Out,” a new Web and mobile video series
If you’re a vampire fan looking for some entertainment to sink your teeth into, you might want to check out “Vamped Out,” a Web and mobile video series debuting at www.babelgum.com/vampedout on April 12.
Babelgum, an integrated Web and mobile video content platform, has partnered with actor Kevin Pollak on the series. Pollak will be making his directorial debut with “Vamped Out,” which he also co-created and will star in, according to a press release.
Other cast members include Jason Antoon (“Kings,” “Minority Report”), Samm Levine (“Freaks & Geeks”, “Inglourious Basterds”) and Seana Kofoed (“Men in Trees”).
“Vamped Out” is a weekly series taken from a documentary by award-winning filmmaker Elliot Finke (Pollak). During the spring and summer of 2009, Elliot shot what he believed was the first documentary of an actual vampire. While in postproduction, he went missing.
The show follows a modern-day 35-year-old struggling actor/vampire (Antoon) trying to make a living in Los Angeles and getting continuously rejected for the role he was literally born to play.
Five new episodes will air consecutively each Monday after the April 12 premiere on the Web and will be accessible through Babelgum mobile platform’s Comedy Channel as well.

Everyone auditioned for Bill Compton role on True Blood
Digital Spy says .....FYI Everyone at the Paley last year said they auditioned for Bill. I think even Nelsan and Anna ...ha!
Alexander Skarsgård originally auditioned for the role of Bill Compton on True Blood, creator Alan Ball has revealed.
The Swedish actor, who eventually won the role of Eric Northman on the HBO vampire drama, was keen to play Bill, but the part was later won by Stephen Moyer.
Ball told Details: "Alex wasn't quite right for Bill, but I remember that he was giant and also beautiful. So when it came time to cast Eric, I thought of him."
Skarsgård also told the magazine that his audition for Eric was done on tape from a hotel room.
"I thought, 'Oh, vampires - I don't know', but then they said Alan Ball was behind it, and I was a huge fan of Six Feet Under and American Beauty. I auditioned on tape from my hotel room in Mozambique."
Ethical Vampires, Part I by Emily Colette Wilkinson
Vampires figure the anxieties of their cultural moment. They come out at night—and during periods of social and political turmoil, and their habits and looks mutate to personify the fears of the age in which they appear. Bram Stoker’s Dracula dramatized Victorian fears of sex as morally corrupting and fears of English culture as threatened by invading foreigners. The vampires of Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles, published primarily in the 1980’s, shared a certain kinship with the ruthless, amoral financier characters of the age, Gordon Gekko of Oliver Stone’s Wall Street and Patrick Batemen of Bret Easton Ellis‘ American Psycho, but their most striking feature was their homosexuality. Rice’s vampirism as blood-borne pathogen also came to seem a metaphor for AIDS—a taunting metaphor, since her beautiful men could not die.
So what about our vampires—the vampires of Charlaine Harris‘ Sookie Stackhouse novels or those of Stephenie Meyer’s ubiquitous Twilight? Our vampires seem a domesticated, morally evolved breed
. Meyer’s vampires have been defanged altogether (Meyer only agreed to sell the film rights with the caveat that the Cullens could not be depicted with fangs in any film version), while the vampires of Charlaine Harris’ Sookie Stackhouse novels (better known as HBO’s True Blood) have discretely retractable fangs. Both authors’ vampires are committed to humane, sustainable diets. Indeed, if Michael Pollan wrote for vampires, he might recommend the diet devised by the vampires of Meyer’s Twilight. The members of the Cullen household, the forward-thinking vampire “family” at the center of the series, forswear feeding on humans. “I don’t want to be a monster,” Edward Cullen, Meyer’s teenage vampire hero explains to his human beloved, Bella Swan, when she asks him about his diet.
