Stephen Moyer and Radha Mitchell to Star in “Evidence”
December 1, 2011
Aussie Star Joins True Blood Star:
Aussie fans of HBO’s True Blood may remember Radha Mitchell from her early days in the Aussie soap, Neighbours. American fans will remember her from movies such as Silent Hill (2006) and Pitch Black (2000). Well, True Blood actor, Stephen Moyer (Bill Compton), will be joining the cast of new movie, Evidence, along with this Aussie actor.
The movie tells the story of Detective Reese (played by Stephen Moyer) and Detective Burquez (played by Radha Mitchell), who turn up to an abandoned gas station, which is the scene of a massacre that contains no evidence – except for a video camera, a flip cam and two cell phones. Using only this evidence, they must discover who the murderer is.
The film is directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi and also stars Torrey DeVitto, Caitlin Stasey, John Cothren, Svetlana Metkina, Albert Kuo and Dale Dickey. The screen play is by John Swetnam. Production is already under way and it is expected to hit movie theaters in 2012.
Make sure you put this movie on your ‘To Watch’ list for next year!

True Blood King Stephen Moyer is Keeping Busy
October 30, 2011
Two Upcoming Films for Moyer:
Though the fourth season of HBO’s smash hit True Blood has recently come to a close, leaving many fans wondering how to pass time over the long hiatus until the next season begins, Stephen Moyer will be busy filming his new movie The Barrens. Moyer, who plays Vampire King Bill Compton on True Blood will take on the role of a family man who unknowingly puts the lives of his family in mortal danger while on a camping trip. Given that this movie is being directed by Darren Lynn Bousman, who also is responsible for giving millions of movie watchers recurring nightmares from his Saw installments, he will be sure to keep audiences on the edge of their seats in this horror flick.
Moyer must face the legendary creature the Jersey Devil, in the New Jersey forest, the Pine Barrens. For True Blood fans it will be fascinating to watch Moyer transition from the cold blooded legendary character of a vampire to becoming the victim of a legendary creature. The Barrens is currently in production and scheduled for release in 2012.
In the meantime if you are looking for a Moyer fix, he appears in the recently released spy thriller, The Double which hit theatres October 28. Moyer plays the part of a Russian spy, who is sought after by a retired CIA opeartive (Richard Gere). Though Moyer won’t be donning any fangs, this flick looks like it will allow him to demonstrate his acting abilities in a very different light.

True Blood’s Stephen Moyer Talks Candidly About Season 4
October 25, 2011
Moyer Talks Up the Show, His Coworkers, and Wife:
When Stephen Moyer (Bill Compton) first received the script for True Blood, he thought “Holy f**k, this is fantastic. [It is] beautifully written [and] funny.” He tells the Bajan Reporter what most audiences already understand to be the greatness of the show: that “there’s a lot going on underneath if you want there to be.” Moyer also graciously commends the supporting actors like Ryan Kwanten (Jason Stackhouse), Sam Trammell (Sam Merlotte), Nelsan Ellis (Lafayette Reynolds), and Carrie Preston (Arlene Fowler) for their work on the show.
Moyer loves the depth offered by Bill Compton’s character. He enjoys the opportunity to take on the varying roles that Bill has inhabited over his centuries-old existence, like a 1920s nightclub entertainer or a punk-rocker in 1980s London. From the books by Charlaine Harris, Moyer noted that Andy Bellefleur (played by Chris Bauer) is in fact Bill’s great great great grandson and he looks forward to a possible (albeit hilarious) line of subplot.
When asked about Bill and Sookie‘s breakup at the end of Season 3, he points out that Alan Ball resolves characters’ happiness with conflict. “You can’t watch two people be happy together for too long.” This simple idiom seems to permeate every character’s interactions. Bill and Sookie’s synergy is no exception to the rule. After their breakup, “there are a couple instances where she gives him an opening and he says, ‘Goodnight, Sookie.’ He’s reversing because he knows if there’s any hope for him with her… he has to let her be.”
Another case in point: by the end of Season 4, the triumvirate relationship between Bill, Sookie and Eric Northman seems untenable. Where will it go from here? Will Sookie ditch them both into the arms of Joe Manganiello‘s character Alcide Herveaux? We don’t know, but what we can glean from previous seasons is that if it does happen, it probably won’t last long!
This brings us to the next question: (apparently on everyone’s mind) How does Moyer react to the on-screen romance between his wife, Anna Paquin and Alexander Skarsgård? He handles the question with tact and points out the more uncomfortable situation that exists for his wife: “You’ve gotta remember what it’s like from Anna’s point of view… She’s having to do it with somebody else in front of all the crew who know us as a couple.” As a loving husband, he reminds us gossip-mongers that the awkwardness is far greater for Paquin than his own. But also, he comments on future “affairs” as husband and wife: they’ve considered working on projects together, but not acting together. If a project came to fruition, one of the two would assume the role of director and the other, actor, so as not to overdo it for indulgent fans.

Video: Stephen Moyer on Regis & Kelly
September 26, 2011
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!
