Tru Blood 2 (in Sydney, Australia) is Postponed

Tru Blood 2: A Second Bite has been postponed until further notice

Bad news for those of you that were planning on attending the True Blood event “Tru Blood 2: A Second Bite” in Sydney Australia next month – due to cast cancellations, the event will have to be postponed. Please read the announcement below. (Congrats to Sam and Nelsan, and we hope you are in the mend soon Joe!)

This morning Hub Central received a devastating call from the USA, to advise that tragedy (depending on your point of view) had befallen our Tru Blood event over the last few days, as none of our announced guests will be able to attend our event in Australia at this time.

Our beloved Sam Trammell has become a father to twins and cannot bear the thought of being away from them for a week (congratulations, Sam!); Nelsan Ellis is to be congratulated, as he has just signed on for an amazing new film project (congratulations, Nelsan!); and poor Joe Manganiello was injured on set yesterday (commiserations, Joe!). He’s devastated that he is unable to fly and will not be able to join us, as he was very much looking forward to coming out to Australia.

With the event so close and Dragon*Con in the States taking the industry’s time and attention, it has become impossible for us to source replacement guests for the line-up that you deserve.

But before you begin weeping uncontrollably and chugging V to quell the sadness, we have some good news; the event is postponed not cancelled! We are finalising the new date for 2012 over the next few days and are delighted to announce that our first guest will be the lovely Charlaine Harris, benevolent goddess to the True Blood universe.

Please stay tuned to our Facebook, Twitter and website for more news, which we’ll share as soon as we have it.

True Blood At PaleyFest: What We Learned

True Blood News — Sun, 06 Mar 2011 09:58:00 +0000

True Blood News and AlexSkarsgard.Net were lucky enough to travel together to Los Angeles, CA this week to attend the 28th annual PaleyFest which took place on Saturday, March 6th. It was an unforgettable weekend where not only did we get to spend some quality time together… FINALLY… we were able to take part in an adventure into the unknown (along with many other ¨True Blood Junkies¨).

We were able to obtain a little bit of info on season 4, along with a heap (over 1600) photos and video!

Lucky for you, we’re the sharing type…

Anna Paquin says that she will return from Fairyland but that “there’s stuff that’s different.¨ Alan confirmed that Sookie’s grandfather Niall (from the books) will not appear this season but will definitely show up some time in a future seasons.

Alan Ball said that “Eric doesn’t know who he is anymore” and that the Viking is desperately lost in season 4. The amnesia storyline is confirmed and although Eric does know he’s a vampire, he doesn’t know much more. He might receive some assistance from a blond fairy to help him remember his life. Alan Ball mentioned that vampires do dream and that there might be some flashbacks from the dearly departed. Alex Skarsgard added that there is an amazing flashback with Eric and Bill. Alexander also mentioned to Alan that he would really like to see some flashback scenes with Eric and Pam. Alan took note!

Sam did confirm that he will find love again this season, he will be bartending again and hopefully he´ll putting aside his bad ways!

Bill and Sookie’s breakup is serious and it will be a very difficult road to bring those two back together. The question was asked if Alan Ball still believed that Bill and Sookie were soul mates. Alan responded that it was very difficult not to see them that way as they are soul mates in real life.

Queen Sophie Anne and Bill Compton’s fight will include one other “person.”

There will be a bunch of new characters, including one played by Gary Cole.

Tara Thornton will be a much stronger person this year and will be more stable.

Bellefleurs: Andy Bellefleur will be experimenting with some of the V at the police station and Terry B and Arlene´s trouble will ¨grow exponentially¨ thanks to Arlene´s evil baby.

Hoyt and Jessica are still together but will face some challenges, ¨all good things eventually come to an end¨ said Deborah Ann Woll.

Tommy just wants to be loved…

That pretty much concluded our sneak peek into season 4. We may think of more tomorrow as at the moment we’re falling asleep as we type!

Thank you to Alan Ball and the cast for giving us the opportunity to spend time with our favorite supernaturals and humans!

Special thanks to Christy & Crystal who made our Paleyfest experience a little easier.

Videos coming soon…

Alexander Skarsgård Polish Interview

ZZ — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 15:28:16 +0000

Alexander Skarsgard in Poland

Alexander Skarsgard visited Poland for the premiere of True Blood’s season 3. Here’s an interview from ŚwiatSeriali.pl. Please note it’s translated from Polish so it may look a little weird ;)

ŚwiatSeriali.pl: Do you believe in vampires?
Alexander Skarsgard: Of course I believe in vampires. I believe in myself, and I play a vampire, so – yes.

SS: Could you tell us how you work the character of Eric? The screen looks like you’re just having fun while working on the plan.
AS: I’m still working on the character of Eric. In two months we start filming season four. In this situation we’re exploring all aspects of the hero, we must explore new ideas – that is the creative process. It is impossible to create the character at the start of the first season and have him remain the same. In this situation, there is no question of acting inspiration, new ideas emerge all the time.

SS: Which of the seasons of the show is your favorite? Do you have a favorite scene or character?
AS: The third season was sensational, the work on the set was fun. The scenario for Eric was funny, the scenes were real fun. As for the other characters, I am delighted that in the third season, my relationship with my daughter, Pam is shown. It was also a great plot.

SS: Do you watch any other series? For example, the previous productions of Alan Ball?
AS: The series “Six Feet Under” was one of the reasons I was excited to start working on True Blood from Alan Ball. “Six Feet Under” is a fantastic series, just as “Treme” is. I really like “It Could Be Worse” [Eastbound & Down] whose second season begins with HBO. I love Danny McBride, I’m really fascinated by this production.

SS: What do you think about the Polish fans, and in particular fankach?
AS: What’s going on here is insane! I flew in today and I feel overwhelmed! Really cool to be here … it’s all a little crazy.
