The September 2011 issue of Australian AXN magazine features a picture of Alexander Skarsgård, but the interview inside the magazine is about True Blood’s creator, Alan Ball. Alan talked to the magazine before his first trip to Australia about sex with vampires, casting True Blood, and politics of the show as an allegory for the gay rights movement. Some of the other male stars are also featured inside the magazine, as you can see in the scans below.
Alan Ball: “I think there’s also something really sexy about the notion of being so incredibly intimate that you share your essence with someone. The idea of feeding on each other is kind of insane, but at the same time very alluring.”
Michael Raymond James, who played sexy serial killer/ghost Renee in True Blood, has swapped vampires for zombies and landed himself a role in season two of The Walking Dead. He will be making his first appearance in “Nebraska,” the opening episode of the second half of season two, which airs on AMC on the 12th of February. Michael will play one of two fellow survivors whom Rick and Hershel encounter. It’s unknown whether or not the role will be recurring.
You can see Michael make his entrance in this clip:
Adam Vary & Carrie Preston (PC: Entertainment Weekly)
Carrie Preston was interviewed by Adam Vary about her movie about friendship called “That’s What She Said.” The movie was featured at the Sundance Film Festival last week. She also talks about True Blood and The Good Wife in the second video. (Check out her cute hat in the videos!)
From EW.com:
Most fans of Carrie Preston know her best as the high-strung Arlene on HBO’s True Blood, or her recurring role as the brilliantly ditzy lawyer Elsbeth on CBS’ The Good Wife. But she was at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival for her work behind the camera, as the director of the distaff sex comedy That’s What She Said. It isn’t her directorial debut — that was the 2005 indie 29th and Gay — but it is her first time at Sundance as a filmmaker. So to commemorate the occasion, we took to the skies, riding a gondola at the Canyons Resort high above Park City, Utah. As I struggled to overcome my fear of heights, Preston gamely talked about her film, her hilariously harrowing trip to the annual Sundance C directors brunch, and what to expect from both True Blood‘s Arlene (more Scott Foley!) and The Good Wife‘s Elsbeth (is Will’s grand jury case over?).
Cinemax has ordered the “True Blood” creator’s latest project, “Banshee,” to series, and tapped a director for the maiden episode.

Greg Yaitanes, veteran director of “House M.D.,” “Lost” and “Heroes,”‘ will sit behind the camera for the first episode.

True Blood production trucks were set up outside a market and a home in the Highland Park area of Los Angeles today. The filming inside the market was earlier in the morning and the crew moved from that location to the home a few blocks away. The filming was for episode 5.03 “Whatever I am, You Made Me”.
According to the production call sheet, the filming at the market had Jason Stackhouse (Ryan Kwanten) running into Miss Steeler (played by Melissa Page Hamilton). Their meeting led them to go to Miss Steeler’s home to “rekindle” a romance perhaps. The images below are from the filming today 1/24/12. Waiting sucks but the little bits of news help make the wait less painful!
On my walk back to my car I was able to catch a glimpse of Ryan Kwanten (shirtless) leaving the house being used for filming:
