Jace Everett grateful for True Blood

HBO saved Jace Everett’s career, and he is in no way shy about admitting that.
“My career was out on cinderblocks in the front yard when [True Blood] happened,” Everett, a Nashville-based singer-songwriter, said.
Everett’s song “Bad Things” carries the opening credits of the HBO hit show that stars Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer.
For Everett, “True Blood” has done more than give him airtime.
 “It gave me confidence,” he said. That confidence began before the show even aired, influencing his 2009 album “Red Revelations.”
“We knew that “True Blood” was going to happen, so [with “Red Revelations”] we did that swampy sound,” Everett said. “I love that kind of music.”
It’s important to note Everett’s love for the music he is able to create today. He hasn’t always had that luxury

ausiello drops this little nugget

Question: Your True Blood spoiler from last week about Jason is torturing me. Any other details about his big risqué scene? —Stephen
Ausiello: At the Globes, Ryan Kwanten said the sequence in question elicited an “audible gasp at the table read… and for our actors to be shocked at anything is a big deal.” Remember: This has the potential to be as shocking, if not more, than last season’s head-spinning sexscapade between Lorena and Bill. Hmmm…
Question: Enough about Eric/Sookie or Bill/Sookie. Tell me something about True Blood‘s hottest duo, Alcide/Sookie. —Suzan
Ausiello: I’m 87 percent certain that there will be an Alkie (or is it Soocide?) kiss within the first six episodes of Season 4. (The margin of error is +/- 4.9 percent, so you can pretty much take this to the bank.)

Being Human US on Syfy Monday nights !

Dallas has loved both season of Being Human UK and now I LOVE the new Syfy Being Human US

The monster rules keep changing. Every few months, it seems, a new movie or TV show comes out and tweaks the unnatural laws of horror fiction. On HBO’s “True Blood,” for example, vampires can subsist on artificial blood and are living openly in human society. In the “Underworld” movies, vampires and werewolves wage eternal war against each other.

Syfy’s new series “Being Human,” as its title suggests, concentrates on its monsters’ humanity instead of trying to create a complex mythology around them. Based on the British series of the same name, the show deftly blends drama, horror and comedy. Viewers will be surprised at how involved they become in a subject that seemingly had been sucked dry.

True Blood star James Frain: It's great to play the bad guy in such a brilliant show

IT might just be the most insane workplace in showbiz. Real, live wolves pad across the studio while litres of fake blood and gore are stored in every cupboard and a cast of vampires trade jokes about fang envy.
And if you thought smash-hit supernatural thriller series True Blood was mad to watch then, according to the two newest stars to hit the underworld, it's even more crazy to be part of.
British actor James Frain, who plays the camp and enigmatic bloodsucker Franklin in the third series, which kicks off this Friday on FX, said the blockbuster show is the most fun he has ever had working on a set.
And the programme's new pin-up werewolf, Joe Mangianello, is just relieved to have avoided being bitten for real by his wolfie co-stars.
The hit HBO series about vampires and other spooky creatures living in the real modern world has been one of the biggest hits on American and British satellite TV in years.
And the new arrivals say fans can expect things to get even sexier than before.
Famed for its black humour and nude scenes, the series was created by Six Feet Under and American Beauty writer Alan Ball, based on the cult Southern Vampire novels by Charlaine Harris.

Sookie Stackhouse Doll on Etsy

Bill? I thought it might be Antoine, or Basil, or like Langford, maybe. But, Bill? Vampire Bill??"

This doll was inspired by the show best known for its tasty blend of sex, camp, and horror- True Blood. Sookie is painted here in her Merlotte's uniform, which is ironic since she NEVER seems to actually be at work. Wouldn't you think a psychic would be a much better waitress? Must be nice to have a boss that is in love with you...

Moyer teases new 'True Blood' presence

Stephen Moyer has hinted that there will be a "presence" in the fourth season of True Blood.

Moyer, who plays Bill Compton, told E! Online that the show will continue to have a dark tone.

"We've got a new presence," he said. "There will be a new kind of spectre that represents darkness."

Moyer continued: "We had the wonderful Denis O'Hare as the King of Mississippi last year and he's [gone] at the end of season three, so we've got something else coming in to replace that darkness, which is going to be really interesting, I think, this whole new sort of topic that we haven't covered."

Moyer's co-star Rutina Wesley has previously described the fourth season of True Blood as "crazy".

Interviews with Evan Rachel Wood about True Blood Season 4

How is Season 4 going for True Blood?
WOOD: Of course, I can’t tell you anything that happens.
What will this season be like, in general?
WOOD: Honestly, I don’t know. I’ve only done one episode, so I have no idea. But, they always outdo themselves, every year.
What’s it like to be back on the set?
WOOD: It’s been great. It’s one of the funnest sets I’ve ever worked on, actually. There’s just always something crazy happening, and lots of blood.
How tortured will Queen Sophie-Anne be this season?
WOOD: Oh, I think she’ll get what she deserves.
How many episodes will you be doing?
WOOD: I can’t say.
Who have your scenes been with so far?
WOOD: So far, Stephen Moyer. We have to finish our big fight.
Viewers will see a resolution to that then?
WOOD: Of course, there will be a resolution. You just have to wait and see what happens. But, it will be epic.
Have you had any scenes with any of the new female cast members?
WOOD: Not yet, no.
How do you define Sophie-Anne’s sexuality?
WOOD: Vampires, in general, are both. I don’t think there is a preference for them. But, I think she’s made her choice. I’d say she’s a lesbian.
Do you think she’ll ever pursue a relationship with Sookie?
WOOD: I hope so. Come on, it’s gotta happen!

Do you have any well wishes for Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer, with this being their first season back as a married couple?
WOOD: I wish them nothing but the best. They make me sick, how in love they are with each other. They’re such an amazing couple, honestly. I’m just envious of them both. They’re great people.
What do you think it is about the allure of vampires that makes them so popular?
“WOOD: It’s always been around. There is something seductive about it. It’s living forever. There is this sexiness and this romance to that, I guess. And, there’s the goriness of it. It’s beautiful gore. It’s not a bloody zombie. It’s a very attractive, forever young, seductive person that might eat you.
Is it fun to play evil?
WOOD: It’s so much fun! The villains are always more fun to play, absolutely.
What is your attraction to playing bad girls?
WOOD: I don’t necessarily consider them bad. I think they’re just human. They just explore things and do things that most people think about, but don’t really talk about and don’t really do. They’re just honest, really. Nobody is good or bad. You only live once.
How does your True Blood role compare to your role in Mildred Pierce, in degree of difficulty?
WOOD: True Blood is just a blast. It’s fun, it’s scary, it’s sexy, it’s hilarious. Mildred Pierce was slightly more dramatic and demanding, I have to say.
How has your life changed since True Blood?
WOOD: Good lord, the fans of True Blood are so dedicated and intense. It’s crazy. I get stopped on the street constantly now. People call me The Queen, which I don’t mind at all. That’s how people address me. It’s nice. Not a bad gig.
What vibe are you getting from the new season of “True Blood”?
WOOD: I honestly don’t know what they are doing. But I know it is always going to be out of control.

There are more vampire shows now than ever. Why is that?
WOOD:There is something seductive about it. It is living forever. There is this sexiness and this romance to that, I guess. And the goriness of it. It is like beautiful gore. It is not like a bloody zombie. It is a very attractive, forever young, seductive person – that might eat you!

Jess Spoiler from Ausiello

Question: I need a True Blood scoop. Maybe something on Jessica and Hoyt? —Endrick
Ausiello: Rumor has it Season 4 will not be kind to my favorite Blood duo. Actually it’s more fact than rumor since Alan Ball just confirmed for me via email, “The honeymoon’s over.”
