True Blood’s Alex Skarsgård Has Praise for Co-Stars

HBO’s Viking Vamp Dishes On Castmates:

With the return of True Blood for Season 5 on June 10, and the release of ‘Battleship’ into theaters on May 18, fans of Alexander Skarsgård (Eric Northman) will have much to enjoy this summer.

Skarsgård’s film, ‘Battleship’, also marks the acting debut of singer Rhianna. Skarsgård shares several scenes with her and says he was not at all surprised at how easily she took to acting.

“I was honestly not surprised. Just like, watching her on stage, or her videos, you can tell [from] her energy and her charisma and personality, you know that she’s gonna be great in that part. I knew that and she really is.”

New to the cast of True Blood for Season 5, but making his return to HBO, is Chris Meloni (Oz, Law & Order: SVU). Skarsgård regards Meloni, who plays Vampire Authority member Roman, as a great addition to the cast.

“It wasn’t easy. His first day was basically him coming in. It was five pages of dialogue. Half of it was in Aramaic. That was like, ‘Welcome to the show, Chris.’ But he’s a trooper, a really amazing actor – obviously — and a great guy. We’ve had a lot of fun together on the show.”

It’s no secret that Skarsgård and True Blood co-star, Kristin Bauer Van Straten (Pamela DeBeaufort) have always held one another in very high regard.  A recent teaser video, released by HBO, gives us a peek at a scene that might indicate a rift between the Viking Vampire Eric Northman and his progeny, Pam. Does Eric release his child? Do they find a way to ‘kiss and make up’? What do you think?

The romantic comedy ‘Ruby Sparks’, releasing in theaters July 25^th, counts Deborah Ann Woll among its cast. Ms. Woll plays vampire Jessica Hamby in HBO’s True Blood.

The trailer for ‘Ruby Sparks’ features co-writer and star Zoe Kazan, along with her co-star and boyfriend, Paul Dano. The scenes are strung together to give a clear and concise preview of the film’s premise, love story, and comedic moments.

“It’s love! It’s magic!”

Dano’s character, Calvin, is a writer with a serious case of writer’s block. He creates the fictional character of Ruby Sparks, played by Kazan, in an effort to overcome his block. When Calvin begins to fall in love with Ruby, she magically appears as flesh and blood in his apartment. With the help of his humorous friend, Calvin discovers that his writing has a direct influence over Ruby’s character and actions.

Video: True Blood’s Joe Manganiello Dishes on Magic Mike Co-Stars

Joe Manganiello Professes to Be Shirtless Poster Boy!

Hey Trubies! I know if you like Joe Manganiello (who plays Alcide Herveaux on True Blood) as much as I do then you will love this video interview. PopSugar editor Lindsay Miller spoke with him on the red carpet for the Stuart House Benefit thrown by John Varvatos. Dishing on all the bare chests and his co-stars in his upcoming film, Magic Mike, he shares:

“I have had a lot of practice; in fact I think I’m the poster boy for it I would think at this point… They were all fine, I’m sure McConaughey certainly has had his share. Kevin Nash from the WWE, I mean that guy has spent the past 20 years running around in a Speedo in front of the cameras, so I think they were all right, everybody did all right… Channing Tatum is really down to earth, really funny, really cool, just a great guy. I love Channing and look forward to working with him again.”

Magic Mike is scheduled to hit theaters on June 29. Trubies, let us know what you think of the interview and if you plan on seeing the movie. You can let us know by commenting in the comment section below.

Video: New Clip From Alexander Skarsgård’s “Battleship”

New Clip Shows Off Sexy True Blood Star, and Others:

For Truebies like me, the only thing it’s going to take to get me into theaters to see Battleship is seeing True Blood’s alpha vamp Eric, Alexander Skarsgård, in the trailers. I don’t need to be a fan of board game based movies to be interested in seeing as much of him as I can get. Am I right ladies?

The newest clip from the film shows us two things straight away. First off, even though this movie is about aliens and things are exploding, the film is full of sexy people. The new clip does a fantastic job of showcasing Skarsgård’s beautiful blues.

The second thing is that this movie is clearly more than an action film. Like many before, this movie seems to be working to establish an emotional core between the characters. This bodes well for any of us ladies looking for more than just action here. Not sure yet if Skarsgård’s character will have any romantic interests, but at least the film has more dimension than previously thought.

Director Peter Berg recently shared exactly how he decided to cast Skarsgård in the role as Stone Hopper:

“All the girls in the office stormed into my office and demanded that we cast him,” Berg said. “And then when I met him, my son was there, and [Alex] got out of his Audi R8 — that’s my son’s dream car. My son just stood there with his jaw open, staring first at him, then at his car, and he said, ‘Dad, it’s non-negotiable. Alex is in the movie.’ “

Clearly Alex’s charms work on more than just the ladies.

In this new clip, which is from earlier in the film, we see Skarsgård’s character and his brother, played by Taylor Kitsch, sitting in a hole in the wall bar celebrating Kitsch’s birthday. Then Brooklyn Decker arrives, and sexy awkwardness ensues.

Moyer and his mate Bertie Portal made a video for all of the participating fans who helped fundraise and support Facing the Atlantic.

On the fundraiser, AllStephenMoyer said:

“Facing the Atlantic is the most thrilling fundraiser we have done so far. It was exciting to follow the journey of Bertie and James, with all its ups and downs and we couldn’t have been more happy when they set foot on Barbados after 63 days on the Atlantic Ocean.”

In an email, Moyer said:

“…finally – FINALLY – I have had to reload the whole bloody thing. Can’t thank you guys enough for everything you and everyone on your respective websites have managed to raise…
Bert is gobsmacked by the level of commitment you put in…
I’m at work, and have just spent the entire last hour and a half trying to load this again, so now I’m off many thanks again.
See you all soon
Steve
…There is a glitch in the middle of the video where we were discussing how much money you lot had raised which I didn’t realise hadn’t recorded until I was back in the US… bloody annoying.”

Thanks for all of the help Truebies! Don’t forget (wait, how could you?) season 5 of True Blood premieres on June 10.

Video: True Blood’s Joe Manganiello Surprises Anne Rice

Our Fave Werewolf Drops in on Author at Book Signing:

It is probably a safe assumption to say that the many True Blood fans have heard of world famous, American horror author Anne Rice. Mrs. Rice is known for her vamp fiction works, including Interview with the Vampire, one of her most famous works. She has brought the world of vamp fiction to the lives of millions of people and she continues to turn out work at a steady pace. Her newest novel, The Wolf Gift, depicts the story of Ruben Golding, a San Fransisco journalist who is turned into a werewolf. As a fan of Mrs. Rice, True Blood’s Joe Manganiello, who plays werewolf Alcide Herveaux was excited to take the opportunity to drop in on the author at a recent book signing.

Mrs. Rice was completely surprised and they both appeared to be quite big fans of each other’s work. Manganiello towered over nearly everyone in the book store as he surprised fans and walked Mrs. Rice to the stage. He’s so tall! Check out the videos below:

Video: True Blood’s Ryan Kwanten Frolics Behind-the-Scenes For Mambo Clothing

Kwanten Shows Off Playful Side As “Mambassador”:

In the fall of 2011, Australian surf and skate clothing line, Mambo, hired True Blood’s Ryan Kwanten (Jason Stackhouse) for its ad campaigns (True Blood’s Ryan Kwanten US “Mambassador” of Aussie Mambo Clothes). The star of one of HBO’s most popular television shows will lift the brand’s American profile, as well as design his own line of clothing for them.

Mambo has released a behind-the-scenes video featuring Mr. Kwanten, as well as two female models. The video is viewable on the Carson’s website, stores that carry the Mambo line, and on YouTube.

The video includes scenes of a humorous and playful Mr. Kwanten engaging in the kinds of fun activities that are popular with Mambo’s core clientele.

The video begins with a text overlay that says, “Music Art Surf Skate Humor” and sets the tone for the rest of the clip. Mr. Kwanten and the two models – wearing assorted items of Mambo clothing – ride bicycles and skateboards along sunny streets. Mr. Kwanten tumbles down a sand dune and dances atop a travel trailer. The clothing is featured prominently and the video gives a summery, playful feel; very much appropriate for a line of clothing designed for youthful surfers and skateboarders.
