True Blood’s Anna Paquin Stars in New Indie Film

Paquin Will Play a Pot-dealing, Single Mom in Free Ride:

Free Ride is about Christina — played by Anna Paquin – an uneducated, single mom who leaves an abusive relationship and moves to Florida “to make a life for herself.”  To support her 15 and 7 year old daughters, Christina starts selling marijuana.  The writer and director, Shana Sosin, says the film is “my homage to the end of innocence in America as well as a love letter to my sister and mother” because the film is based on her own childhood.

The film will be Sosin’s first film featuring major stars.  Along with Paquin, Cam Gigandet (Easy A, Priest, Burlesque and –most notably– the villainous vampire from Twilight) will play Paquin’s love interest.  Drea de Matteo (famous for her role as Adriana la Cerva in HBO’s Sopranos) will play the character that gets Paquin to sell marijuana in the “colorful yet turbulent culture of the late 1970s.”  She chose Paquin because, “there’s something very raw and real about Anna’s performances and person; she’s retained that rawness my mother had.”

Speaking of raw and real, the film is being shot in Sarasota, Florida and will use locals in smaller roles.  Sosin is looking for “rough around the edges with long hair and very tan” types.  ”The kinds of guys who would work on fishing boats and bikers with handlebar mustaches.”  Mark Famiglio, executive director of Sarasota Film Festival who will be providing the crew facilities, proclaims “Shana and her crew are exactly the kind of talented, creative people we want to work in this area. They represent the new wave of independent filmmaking and exceptional storytelling.”

Truebies: shooting starts in November, so remember to keep your eyes out for the release of Free Ride and support Anna, et al, when it debuts!

Video: Stephen Moyer on Regis & Kelly

Our Favorite 175-year-old Vampire:

Stephen Moyer recently made a guest appearance on Regis & Kelly.  During his visit to the show he made the announcement that he and his wife, Anna Paquin just celebrated their first anniversary together!  Happy Belated Anniversary, Stephen and Anna!  When discussing married life he admitted that he was constantly surprised that their life together was always getting better and better.  How sweet!  They asked him if he considered himself to be a romantic — he said, “I am fairly romantic, I think I am!”, and quickly realized he would need to offer an example of just how romantic he is.  Moyer began to talk about the fact that he and Paquin are huge fans of boxing and that he recently flew to Las Vegas in order to get her a gift.  Want to know what the gift was?  Amir Khan’s boxing wraps from his match!  He also talked a little bit about what their summer consisted of.  After they finished shooting the last episodes of True Blood, he, Paquin, and his kids visited a ranch in Montana.  According to Moyer, they rode horses for hours daily and went tubing, and the overall experience and beauty of the place was breathtaking.  He also talked about his recent venture to Yellowstone Park with his children while his wife had other obligations to attend.  Sounds to me like they had quite an amazing summer!

Truebies, what’s the most romantic thing you’ve ever done for anyone, or anyone’s ever done for you?  Let us know in the comments below!

Death Becomes True Blood’s Anna Paquin

Sink Your Teeth into the Life of the Actress Behind Sookie Stackhouse:

29-year-old Anna Paquin’s life has been a rollercoaster ride, to say the least. Paquin grew up in New Zealand and moved to L.A. when she was 16 and before that, at age 11, she became the second youngest actress to win an academy award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the 1993 film, The Piano.

She can also add Jane Eyre, Amistad, Almost Famous, and X-Men to her resume. In 2008, she began appearing on the new HBO thriller True Blood as Bon Temps’ psychic waitress, Sookie Stackhouse, and got married to her co-star and one-time on-screen love, Stephen Moyer, in August of 2010. After celebrating her first wedding anniversary, True Blood’s renewal for a fifth season, and four films coming out in the future, it seems a lot of things are coming together for Anna Paquin. Paquin adds that she and her husband have a life outside of True Blood so it’s never difficult to be married to Moyer and be romantically involved with him on screen.

She has not been one to shy away from speaking about her and her husband’s relationship:

“Maybe it should be weird, simulating sex with your husband in front of people. But it’s really not. When it’s a love scene with someone you actually love, there’s no feeling like, ‘Can I touch him here? Can I touch him there?’ You know what your boundaries are – or what they aren’t, I suppose.”

On True Blood’s fans, Paquin says:

“It didn’t used to be as crazy as it is now, but I don’t totally remember what it was like before. Being recognized happened much less often when I was younger, but it still happened. I don’t really notice it anymore to be honest. When I am out with friends, they will get kind of protective, and be like, ‘Do you want to move, people are staring?’ I’m like, ‘Oh no, we’re fine.’”

Video: True Blood Stars’ Upcoming Film Projects

Anna Paquin, Rutina Wesley and Alexander Skarsgård:

Just because True Blood’s Season 4 is coming to an end doesn’t mean you have to wait until next season to see your favorite stars on screen. The actors have been hard at work on non-vampire related film projects that will be coming out later this year.

Anna Paquin (Sookie) will be staring in Margaret, playing a high school student who “may or may not have caused a fatal bus crash.” This movie was filmed five years ago and its release has been delayed, because writer and director Kenneth Lonergan couldn’t pick a final version of the film that he was content with. Is it a good sign that the film has gone unreleased for five years? You’ll have to see it and decide for yourself. The film also stars Matt Damon, Mark Ruffalo and Allison Janney.

Rutina Wesley (Tara) has recently won a role in Immaculée Ilibagiza’s memoir Left to Tell, about the genocide in Rwanda. Sounds promising, but Wesley is always playing such serious roles, maybe one day she’ll star in a comedy!

Last but not least, Alexander Skarsgård (Eric) has a few movies coming out in the coming months. The True Blood vampire will be appearing in What Maisie Knew with Julianne Moore. Skarsgård is also in Straw Dogs with James Marsden and ex-girlfriend Kate Bosworth. Finally, the actor will be starring in Battleship, a film based on the classic board game, costarring Rihanna.

With so many films coming out True Blood fans will have plenty to keep them busy until Season 5. What movies will have you heading to the theaters and which will have you staying at home watching reruns of True Blood? Watch the video and let us know in the comment section below.

True Blood’s Favorite Fairy to Star in Straight A’s

Anna Paquin to Pine for Ryan Phillippe:

Anna Paquin (Sookie Stackhouse) and Ryan Phillippe, along with Riley Thomas Stewart, are in-line to be a part of director James Cox’s next film, Straight A’s.

Holly Wiersma, who has worked with Cox on Wonderland and Billionaire Boys Club will produce Straight A’s along with Rene Besson. Avi Lerner, Danny Dimbort, Trevor Short, Boaz Davidson, John Thompson and Lati Grobman will be executive producing. Written by Dave Cole, this comedy was discreetly developed and recently started production this week in Shreveport, LA.

Avi Lerner, co-chairman of Indie Producer Nu Image said:

“Shooting this film at our own production facility Millennium Studios reinforces our commitment to the state of Louisiana and its local economy.”

Phillippe’s character has bounced in and out of rehab centers for 10 years. As he struggles with his addiction, he also faces being haunted by the ghost of his dead mother who insists that he return to the family he turned his back on long ago. With the company of a bag of pills and a sack of weed to escort him on his journey back to Shreveport, his addiction will be the least of his worries when he encounters his brother’s wife who happens to be pining for her first love, Phillippe himself.
