Question: Please give us fang bangers some True Blood scoop. I cannot wait for season 2. Will some of it take place in Dallas like the second book did? –Jessie Ausiello: Yep. In the new season’s fourth episode, Sookie, Bill, and their adoptive vamp Jessica (played by the awesome Deborah Ann Woll) wing it to Dallas, but there’s a surprise waiting for them at the airport. Later in the episode, an even bigger shock awaits Sookie when a, ahem, special visitor drops by her hotel room. Question: Show me… True Blood! –Daniel Ausiello: EW’s Whitney Pastorek asked the show’s shirtless wonder, Ryan Kwanten, to sum up season 2 in just five words and, dang-it, the over-achiever did it in four! “Orgy, cult, locked up.” I’m there, can’t wait, and June 14 can’t come soon enough! Question: Dude! What’s going on?! Where’s all the True Blood scoop!? –Ryan Ausiello: Chill, bro, I’ve got just the tease for ya — and so does the show. Alan Ball and Co. are currently talking to “name” actresses to appear in just one episode this season (and more in future ones). The character? No less than Sophie-Anne, the 500-year-old queen of the Louisiana vampires. My mole tells me that Her Highness is as bright and witty as she is powerful and dangerous. (Isn’t that always the way?) Michelle Pfeiffer, call your agent — yesterday! Source: EW Felix in Newport News, Va.: Need True Blood news! You know how Sookie got attacked by that thing in the True Blood season two sneak peek? Bill recruits Eric to help save her—and a love triangle is born. Diana in Bend, Ore.: What can you tell us about True Blood? I’m so excited for season two! We just chatted up True Blood star Stephen Moyer and asked him about the future of Nelsan Ellis’ brilliant Lafayette, and Moyer said, “Lafayette, I can’t talk about. Nelsan is an amazing dude, and, uh, I hope he does come back…but I, you know…who knows.” There’s no decisive statement in there, but “I hope he does come back” seems to suggest that Lafayette’s gone somewhere, and for that matter, Nelsan’s Lafayette also does not appear in any of the season two promo photos, the press releases or the books after Dead Until Dark. Long story short, we’re starting to feel pretty naive for having believed/hoped the show was just toying with us and would find a way to keep Lafayette around for season two and beyond. We are going to need a lot of naked vampires to make up for this disaster. Post your Lafayette lamentations in the comments, and don’t forget to check back soon for more from Stephen Moyer about True Blood season two. Elana in Warsaw: Do you have any new True Blood news? Lesbians! You heard about the lesbians, right? Vampire queen Sophie and Sookie’s cousin Lois Lane Hadley Hale end up sucking face. Now we just need to resolve this question: What’s the most HoYay show on TV: Glee or True Blood? Call it in the comments… Lena in Boca Raton, Fla.: What else can you tell us about True Blood? The general consensus of our Living Dead in Dallas-reading commenters who got a look at the True Blood sneak peek shown at Paley is that the giant Minotaur-lookin’ creature show is Michelle Forbes’ maenad in another guise. To which we say, “Wuh?” and “Wow.” (And we’re working on getting a legit version of that clip, so hang in there…) Source: E!Online with Kristin When will we find out who’s dead in the car on True Blood? — Neil MICKEY: Since the season premiere (airing Sunday, June 14, 9 pm/ET) picks up right where we left off, the victim’s identity is revealed in short order. As you might have already guessed, Season 2’s first casualty is related to Tara, but not in a way that you will guess. At first blush, the significance of said death will not be apparent, but just wait! Also, a minor character’s drinking problem will resurface — hilariously. BTS pics from the True Blood Season 2 Photoshoot Have you seen the new poster? It’s bloody cool! We know that Sookie and Bill have some traveling to do when Season 2 returns, but where does that leave poor, heartsick, shape-shifting Sam? Anna Paquin tells the Buzz: “They have a bit of a rough time of it. It seems like they should be more understanding of each other, and yet they aren’t — in some truly ironic way.” Translation: Sam will be otherwise occupied this season with Maryann the vibrating mystery lady. Can you tell me where to find the music from True Blood? — Patti MICKEY: I’m guessing it was the show’s brilliant opening credits that seduced you with its Southern Gothic gumbo of sex, religion and Jace Everett’s “Bad Things.” You can buy the soundtrack on Amazon.com or iTunes, but I’d hold off until you hear Christian pop singer Amanda Jane’s version of “Jesus Asked Me Out Today,” which appears in the second episode of Season 2. It’s heavenly. From last month: How much time will have elapsed in Bon Temps when HBO’s True Blood launches its second season? And will a major mystery be solved? Anna Paquin gives me the answers.

Being on premium cable as they are, True Blood’s Sookie and Bill certainly give virginal Edward and Bella a run for their money when it comes to blood-hot sex, but what about love? We just spoke exclusively with True Blood’s leading man, Stephen Moyer, aka Bill Compton himself, to find out what’s in store for the vampires of the dirty, dirty South in season two. He told us that while there will be just as many near-pornographic sex scenes, his character is still primarily driven by an overiding morality and an abiding passion for Sookie Stackhouse. Read on to find out what he told us about sex scenes, his “hideous” vampire daughter and falling in love with Anna Paquin, onscreen and off… Is True Blood going to stay as explicitly sexual this season or will you dial that back a bit? The show is ridiculously f–king sexy…I think Alan Ball and the writers do very well in pushing the envelope. I think one of the things that drives me nuts about society is that you can watch hours about terrorists but you can’t look at a human nipple. What the f–k is that about? Sex is part of our lives. It’s part of our existence. So I kind of embrace the fact that we hit it full on the head. What you think of Bill as a person, are you more interested in him as a vampire or as a personality? There’s no getting away from the fact that Bill is a vampire. He can’t wish to be anything else, because he’s a vampire, but he’s a vampire who wants to live a human life. Actually, in fact, he wishes not for a human life, but for a moral life. It’s not that he doesn’t want to feed on blood, it’s that he doesn’t want it to involve killing—but in his first season he kills as many people as the murderer. That was something that was very present in our minds. He has that blood lust, he has that very strong sense of right and wrong. If somebody f–s him off, he’s going to take them out. He’s torn. He’s not going to do it just for the sake of it. But if somebody hurts him or hurts his family or hurts his loved one…they’re history. [Chuckles]. I like that. What kind of arc can we expect for Bill and Sookie this season? I think that they love each other more than they have loved anything ever. Speaking from Bill’s point of view, she’s given him reason to live again. Does your relationship with Anna [Paquin] make it more or less difficult to do emotionally awkward scenes between Sookie and Bill, like when she and Sam got together last season and Bill walked in on them? Anna and I met on this show. We met doing the job. And so the crew has seen us grow together. They have seen our relationship grow by watching us on set. Now you know, we kept it from them to begin with. You know, it was very…we wanted to keep it private. We didn’t want people to think we were f–king with their lives with something fickle. But honestly, there’s no one I’d rather work with. I really mean it. I love working with her, and that’s how it all started, by falling in love on camera…So, last year, Sam had his stuff coming up with Anna and at that point nobody knew we were a couple. So Sam’s a close friend, and I had to go to Sam and say, ‘Look. I need to tell you something. I need you to know. I don’t want you to find out later and feel like a heel.’ So I told him, that was the first time I told him about me and Anna. And he couldn’t believe it! It’s about trust, you know. And that trust is a very important part of a relationship. From your perspective as an actor, how would you characterize Bill and Eric’s relationship—are they friends, enemies, coworkers or what? Bill just knows that’s how Eric is, and that he’s not going to be changing him anytime soon. Certainly in this season there is a moral hierarchy. And you understand that in the vampire world there’s a very strong sense of right and wrong. There are things you do and things you don’t and if you do something within the vampire world that is f–ked up and against your fellow vamp, you are going to suffer for that. I kind of like that idea, that you know, anything goes, but if you cross a line, you’re going to suffer for it. Whether Eric is adhering to those vampire morals is important. What about your vampire daughter, Jessica—does that continue to be a fractured fairy tale? If Bill imagined a daughter, he imagined a beautiful little well-mannered Victorian beauty. And Jessica comes along, and she is this hideous, sex-and-blood hungry 17-year-old. And we don’t think she’s going to be that. We think she’s going to be this homeschooled innocent, and that’s not where she is at all. The actress, Deborah Ann Woll, who plays Jessica, she’s f–king brilliant. And I love her. She goes about creating her part through a very pure, you know, method way. And I don’t mean she’s a Method actress, I just mean she really, she really goes at it with incredible, incredible industry. She’s fantastic to work with! What can you tell us about season two? I think the second season is beyond amazing…more than anybody imagined. Honestly, I came out of the screening the other day with my jaw on the floor. And I’ve read it, you know. True Blood season two premieres June 14 at 9 p.m. on HBO. But between now and then, let’s kill a little time by discussing the merits of Team Bill.Tell us why this Southern vampire makes you so hot and bothered! Source: E!Online Head to our gallery for close to 500 HQ photos from the Season 2 Premiere for True Blood Interview with Anna Paquin at the True Blood Season 2 Premiere: Anna Paquin: True Blood and Twilight Not the Same Sure, Twilight and True Blood are vampire stories that include romance, violence and the constant struggle between good and evil. Even so, they’re very different. “They’re completely different age groups that they’re trying to appeal to,” says Oscar winner Anna Paquin, who stars in HBO’s True Blood as mind-reading Sookie Stackhouse. “It wouldn’t be appropriate for teenagers to be watching our show. I wouldn’t have been allowed to.” All ya gotta do is check out the sex scenes Paquin, 26, has with Stephen Moyer, 39, her real-life boyfriend who play’s Sookie’s vampire beau, Bill Compton… Paquin, who won a Golden Globe for her work as Sookie, promises we’ll be seeing even more this time around. “I get more naked this season than I did last season,” she says, adding later, “We have a really great crew and everyone’s really respectful. It’s not an issue for me.” But it does mean a lot more time at the gym. “I work my ass off,” Paquin says. “I’m very careful about what I eat, and I work out a lot. My costume entails bathing suits, short-shorts and nude scenes, come on! I don’t want to be perpetuating the myth that women actually do look exactly like the way they look in magazines and on television through absolutely no effort!” There’s a lot more to True Blood than sex and scary demons. “The stories are exciting and sexy and scary and engaging. The characters are all very, very, clearly drawn and real, even though we take place in a very sort of surreal world, and it keeps you on the edge of your seat,” Paquin says. “And every time you think things are going to go smoothly, something really effed up happens.” Source: E!Online This entry was posted on Friday, June 12th, 2009 at 1:08 pm and is filed under TV, True Blood.
