DragonCon 2010 - True Blood - Sunday panel part 4

Sam Trammell, Kristin Bauer, Rutina Wesley True Blood Interviews

You know why I love covering the SCREAM Awards every year? I'll tell you why. It's because I get to talk to actors who I don't normally see at film premieres. Not all the celebs hit the red carpet at the 5th annual celebration of genres that don't normally get awards recognition, but the ones who did were fun to talk to - though hard to hear with fans screaming just a few feet away.

True Blood #4 Launching Today!

True Blood #4The fourth issue of the TRUE BLOOD comic is now available in both print and digital format!



Click here for a preview!

This issue tells the story of Sam’s attack on the evil spirit that proves deadly for the local population, and it ends with him having to recount his most shameful memory... a secret powerful enough to re-energize the wounded spirit. Outside, Andy and the Sheriff have discovered the dome keeping them all trapped inside Merlotte’s, but will they be able to break in before Jason recounts the dirty details his first time? The stormy night in Bon Temps continues, in this original idea by TRUE BLOOD creator Alan Ball.

Spike Scream Awards' 7 Best Moments: 'True Blood' Wins, 'Scream 4' Trailer Debuts And More!

"True Blood" wins for Stephen Moyer and Anna Paquin
Can vampire Bill please magically adopt the adorable haircut that Stephen Moyer was sporting at tonight's Scream Awards? Because I would argue that he (heresy!) even outshone Alexander Skarsgård on the adorable scale. He won his award for that crazy sex scene Bill and Lorena had during season three. You know the one I'm talking about. "I don't know what all the fuss is about, doesn't everyone have sex like that?" he joked. Anna Paquin had a sexy lead-in in the form of Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder. "I love our fans so much," Anna said. "'True Blood' is the best job I've ever gotten to work on, and it would be nothing without being able to be supported by the amazing fans we have." Oh, and then the camera cut to ASkars. This is why we love the Scream Awards.

Alexander Skarsgård's win for Best Horror Actor
Why does Alexander Skarsgård get his own category on this list? Because we're madly in love with him, clearly. While Alexander accepted his award, he told the story of two kids he ran into outside who were really pissed off that he was in the Best Actor category after being in the Best Villain category last year. "Yes I did slaughter half a dozen werewolves this year, I did push a lot of illegal drugs—a lot of illegal drugs—and I madeout with a really handsome Greek guy, and then I staked him through the back. Oh, and then I had a really innocent girl in the basement for a while," he laughed. "But other than that, I think Eric was a really good boy this year, so thank you." We'll just toss "True Blood" winning Best TV Show in with this too.

Kristin Bauer reveals 'True Blood' hopes

Kristin Bauer has revealed that she would love the fourth season of True Blood to feature scenes from the original books by Charlaine Harris.

In Harris's fourth novel Dead To The World, Eric loses his memory because of witches and stays with Sookie for safety.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Bauer has now revealed that she would love the scenes to appear in the television show.

"The storyline with Eric losing his mind next year may happen, which I think would be very hysterical," she said. "[Alexander Skarsgård, who plays Eric,] is an extremely comedic actor. He is very funny. A lot of people didn't see him in Zoolander and [don't] know how funny he can be. I would love for him to do that in his vampire character."

Meanwhile, Sam Trammell, who plays Sam, promised that the new season will be even more eventful than the last.

"What would that mean for me?" he continued. "I don't know. I just know I'll be taking off my clothes a lot."

True Blood wins big at SCREAM Awards !

resent. To properly pay tribute, the event trotted out some major names for the festivities.
"X-Men" alum Halle Berry showed up in a snug, gilded number to present the first honor of the evening, Most Mind-Bending Film, to director Christopher Nolan for the elaborate dreamscapes of "Inception."
Entering the stage in a nude sheath, former "Transformers" star Megan Fox handed the hardware for Best Villain to her "Passion Play" co-star and tattoo inspiration Mickey Rourke, for his turn as Ivan Vanko in "Iron Man 2."
"Paranormal Activity 2" stars Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat unveiled the trailer to the follow-up to their breakout, creep-inducing hit and "Thor" actor Chris Hemsworth gave the Best Comic Book Writer award to DC Comics' Geoff Johns.
"The Office" actor Rainn Wilson, gave attendees a taste of his upcoming movie "Super" before doling out the "Holy Sh--! Scene of the Year" to head-twisting sex moment in HBO's vampire soap "True Blood."
Honoring one of the most iconic sci-fi romps in movie history, 1985's "Back to the Future," the show recreated the parking lot time-warp scene, and updated the date on the car to October 19, 2010. A voice-over announcer boomed, "The man, the myth, the legend," as a DeLorean drove onto stage. However, audience members were surprised when instead of the film's plucky protagonist Michael J. Fox stepping out of the vehicle, funnyman David Spade popped out instead. After a montage of choice moments from the "Future" trilogy screened, Fox and co-star Christopher Lloyd took the stage to a standing ovation.
The cast of AMC's new post-apocalyptic series "The Walking Dead" introduced an exclusive clip from the show and handed over the trophy for Best Comic Book or Graphic Novel, which fittingly went to The Walking Dead tome the show is based on.
"Batman" villain Aaron Eckhart presented Best Fantasy Actress to "Twilight" superstar Kristen Stewart, who accepted the honor in a two-toned frock.
Nonagenarian author Ray Bradbury was celebrated as the 2010 Comic Con Icon for popular works such as Fahrenheit 451 and The Illustrated Man.
Screen veteran Anthony Hopkins gave viewers a look at his upcoming exorcism movie "The Rite," which follows an American priest who travels to Italy to study the ins and outs of vanquishing demons.
Later, Emma Roberts, David Arquette, Neve Campbell and filmmaker Wes Craven took the stage to present a world-premiere look at the latest flick in the "Scream" series, and in a night crammed with exclusive looks at upcoming films, the audience also got the chance to check out a new trailer for the forthcoming "Harry Potter" flick.
The show also brought out many faces from the perpetually befuddling ABC hit "Lost," including Jorge Garcia, Harold Perrineau and Ian Somerhalder, for a tribute to the recently cancelled show, and to get some answers about what actually went on during the past six seasons. However, no one in the crew gave details and politely declined to answer questions.
Marilyn Manson became a one-man horrorfest when he hit the stage with a woman chained to pole that was set aflame and presented Best TV Show to "True Blood."
Funnywoman Sarah Silverman presented the award for Best Horror Movie to "Zombieland," a moment that segued into another highlight of the evening as Bill Murray made a surprise appearance to accept the award. The actor delighted the crowd by donning his "Ghostbuster" garb as the notes of the film's synth-heavy theme blasted into the theater. He then shouted-out many of his late colleagues such as Rodney Dangerfield and John Belushi.
Sigourney Weaver's legacy as a horror and sci-fi heroine was also celebrated and the screen legend rolled onstage in an egg-like structure similar to the ones found in her latest fantasy hit, "Avatar," which later won Top 3D Movie.
M.I.A. performed sporting a suitably eye-catching look for the eccentric star and rocked the stage in yellow and pink sequined outfit.
Other awards of night went to Alexander Skarsgard for Best Horror Actor in "True Blood" and Most Memorable Mutilation for "The Human Centipede." Skarsgaard's co-star Anna Paquin took home Best Horror Actress. "Zombieland" won for Best Horror Movie. "Twilight Saga: Eclipse" won Best Fantasy Movie and Ryan Reynolds accepted the Top Anticipated Movie award for "Green Lantern."
