True Blood‘s Anna Camp Returns for Pitch Perfect 2:

True Bloods Anna Camp stars in Pitch Perfect 2Well, here it is – the first sneak peek trailer for Pitch Perfect 2! Anna Camp returns to the cult classic in the making to play the uptight Aubrey. In Pitch Perfect 2, we find the a cappella group the Barden Bellas entering into an international competition that no American team has ever won. Will they succeed where so many others have failed?

Returning alongside Anna Camp (who played Sarah Newlin in HBO’s True Blood) will be Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Brittany Snow, Hana Mae Lee, Skylar Astin, Elizabeth Banks and Adam DeVine. The movie is slated for release on May 15th 2014. The Universal Pictures movie is from a screenplay written by Kay Cannon and Mickey Rapkin. Actor Elizabeth Banks not only stars in the show as Gail, but will be directing as well.

It will be very interesting to see whether Pitch Perfect 2 will live up to the high expectations of the first movie – or will it go the way of most sequels and be a flop? Judging by the video below however, I am guessing we just may have a winner on our hands.

Let us know what you think of the video clip and whether you will be checking out Pitch Perfect 2 by commenting below!

Anna Camp to Reprise Ground Floor Role for Season 2

Leave a comment

Anna Returns to Her Role as Heather Alongside Skylar Astin:

Anna Camp stars as Sarah Newlin in HBO's True Blood Season 6For fans of HBO’s True Blood, it will be nice to see resident baddie, Anna Camp (who played Sarah Newlin in the vampire series) return to yet another juicy role. This time it will be in TBS’s Ground Floor. In Season 1 we saw her in only one episode playing the role of Heather, an extremely competitive ex-girlfriend of Brody (who is played by Anna’s real life boyfriend and Pitch Perfect co-star, Skylar Astin). It seems fans couldn’t get enough of Anna’s role and she is set to return to the show in Season 2 which is set to debut on Tuesday, Dec. 9 at 10/9c.

TV Guide had this exclusive scoop on Heather’s return in Season 2:

It is revealed that Heather was chosen to run the Hong Kong office after Brody bailed on the job. However, Heather’s experience turns out to be a cautionary tale of what might have happened to Brody if he had taken the gig and left Jenny (Briga Heelan).

As well as a return to the small screen in Ground Floor, Anna is reprising her role of Aubrey in Pitch Perfect 2 which is due out in theaters next year. if that isn’t enough of an Anna Camp fix, then you can check out her as the voice of Princess Ivy in Disney’s Sofia the First: The Curse of Princess Ivy this November.

True Blood’s Anna Camp to Play a Villain Again

Leave a comment

This Time She Will Be a Disney Villain, Rather Than an HBO One:

Anna Camp stars as Sarah Newlin in HBO's True BloodSarah Newlin (played by actress Anna Camp) was the villain of HBO’s True Blood that we all loved to hate. Over several seasons she would appear, disappear, reinvent herself, and then reappear all over again to cause havoc with the regular cast members of the vampire series. Now, with True Blood meeting the true death once and for all, it seems actress Anna Camp has set her sights on playing a new villain – a Disney villain!

Disney Junior’s Sofia the First: The Curse of Princess Ivy will hit our TV screens in November 2014 on the Disney channel. Anna will be the voice of Princess Ivy, a once exiled princess who is intent on turning the land of Enchancia from glorious color into bland and boring black and white.

You can check out the images of Anna Camp’s character and the movie poster for Sofia the First: The Curse of Princess Ivy below:

Anna Camp on Being True Blood’s Sarah Newlin

Leave a comment

Sarah Got What She Deserved According to Anna Camp:

true-blood-season-7-episode-10-sarah-ericSarah Newlin (played by Anna Camp) was one of those characters truebies seriously loved to hate. Many fans wanted to see her die a hideous death in Season 7 of HBO’s True Blood – Anna Camp included! Surprisingly though, Sarah survived the series, something Anna never expected after all the atrocities she inflicted on the vampires at vamp camp in Season 6.

Considering Sarah Newlin was the kind of person who followed many different belief systems and managed to convince herself she was being righteous rather than sadistic was being a blood donor slave a fate worse than death? Or did she deserve redemption? Anna weighs in on this:

It’s hard to say. Living in the character, I justified everything she did. It’s hard to say when you’re playing someone like that. I mean, yes, I did try to kill all of them in Season 6, so technically I deserved punishment …She was convicted in what she was believing in at the moment. I don’t know if consciously she was trying to get out of trouble when she turned into a Buddhist – but I think she truly, truly believed that she was. On some subconscious level, it’s a way of exonerating herself from all of the guilt that she felt. She’s just this complete narcissist …it’s basically her world and she’s living in it and that’s OK.

While Sarah ended up a captive at the end, there were many scenes during Season 7 that were very demanding physically on the actress. For the scene involving Sarah being thrown around by Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgard), Anna had to wear a harness:

We spent three days shooting those scenes and when I saw it in the episode, they cut so much from what we shot. It’s really fascinating. I was exhausted shooting those things at like four in the morning, because they’re all night shoots …It’s definitely not the most comfortable thing. It feels like you have a permanent wedgie for two hours. Even when you’re out of it, it still feels like it’s there.

However, according to Anna, the hardest scene to shoot was actually Sarah’s last scene in the True Blood finale. She had to hold her arms up for so long that she lost the feeling in them!

HBO Has Released the Full Video of the True Blood Cast at San Diego’s Comic Con 2014:

Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer San Diego Comic Con 2014Considering us truebies have nothing to watch this Sunday, it seems HBO has taken pity on us and released the entire video of the True Blood panel interview from San Diego’s Comic Con 2014. So sit back for the next hour, and get stuck into watching – and reminiscing – about the very last time there will be True Blood panel at Comic Con. Just be warned though, Kristin Bauer van Straten (who plays vampire Pam) is crying as she walks onto stage, so make sure you have the tissues ready! And remember, watching it in hindsight is completely different to previously too because we all know exactly what they are talking about when they hint at upcoming events on True Blood Season 7.

The full panel includes: Nathan Parsons (James), Deborah Ann Woll (Jessica Hamby), Nelsan Ellis (Lafayette Reynolds), Carrie Preston, Arlene Fowler), Chris Bauer (Andy Bellefleur), Anna Camp (Sarah Newlin) Brian Buckner (showrunner), Kristin Bauer van Straten (Pamela Swynford De Beaufort), Rutina Wesley (Tara Thornton), Sam Trammell (Sam Merlotte), Stephen Moyer (Bill Compton) and Anna Paquin (Sookie Stackhouse).

True Blood Finale: A Look Back on… Villians

Who Would You Rate as the Best And Worst Villains from HBO’s True Blood?

Anna Camp stars as Sarah Newlin in HBO's True Blood Season 7With HBO’s True Blood fast coming to a close, I thought I’d rate the best and worst True Blood villains!

  1. BEST: Sarah Newlin (Anna Camp). Over and over again Sarah has plagued the show, always bringing her warped sense of religious righteousness along with her for the ride. She even outlasted her husband, Steve Newlin (Michael McMillian) – no easy feat since he became a vampire in the end. However, it is her tenaciousness and lack of whiny little spinelessness her husband possessed that has made her the top villain we love to hate so much.
  2. WORST: Mr Gus (Will Yun Lee). Mr. Gus had potential. Anyone who Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgard) and his progeny, Pam (Kristin Bauer van Straten) are happy to side with have got to have something going for them after all. However, no one is really sure – Mr. Gus included – if he is even a bad guy. Sure he has the Yakuza backing him up but there just hasn’t been enough plot development for us to really fear him.
  3. BEST: Russell Edgington (Denis O’Hare). The guy ripped out a newsreaders beating heart while they were reading the news. On TV. With millions of people watching. Did Russell care? Oh no, he did not.
  4. WORST: The Ifrit. Really HBO, a smoke monster? And now Bill (Stephen Moyer) is dreaming of Sookie (Anna Paquin) having babies that look suspiciously like mini-Ifrits. Oh HELL no!
  5. BEST: Rene Lenier (Michael Raymond-James) Also known as Drew Marshall. Back in Season 1 of True Blood there was a real murder mystery going on. And, for fans of Charlaine Harris’s books (on which True Blood is based), we all just sat back and watched and waited. We knew how shocked people would be when they worked out sexy Cajun Rene, hubby to waitress Arlene (Carrie Preston), was the one murdering cats and grandmothers alike.
  6. WORST: Bill/Billith (Stephen Moyer). So Bill Compton drank the blood of Lilith (Jessica Clarke) and became Billith. Still not really sure how he un-became Billith, but that’s okay. Maybe that’s the real reason his Hep-V is so virulent now?

So who are your best and worst True Blood villains ever? Let us know by commenting below!

VIDEO: True Blood’s Anna Camp on Being a Fourth Grade Drug Dealer

Leave a comment

Anna Camp’s First Acing Gig Was as a Drug Dealer!

Anna Camp stars as Sarah Newlin in HBO's True Blood Season 7 Episode 3 (entitled 'Fire in the Hole')True Blood’s Anna Camp (who plays Sarah Newlin in the HBO vampire series) has been acting for a long time. But in this hilarious video interview she did with Conan O’Brien recently, she talks about her very first acting gig – that of a drug dealer! She was only in the fourth grade, but the school decided a stage production on the dangers of drugs would be a great way to get the discussion started on the war against drugs.

Anna lets us know what a fourth grade drug dealer would wear to be totally ‘hardcore’ while selling bags of jellybeans. As well as that she discusses the fact that she always seems to play the villain and just how cathartic it is to act out pummeling someone to death with a shoe.

VIDEO: True Blood’s Sarah Newlin Talks Nudity

Anna Camp Talks to Conan O’Brien About Awkward Broadway Nudity:

Anna Camp stars as Sarah Newlin in HBO's True BloodRecently Anna Camp (who plays Hep-V antidote Sarah Newlin in HBO’s True Blood Season 7) chatted to Conan O’Brien about nudity – in particular, acting and being nude in front of your parents. True Blood is notorious for the amount of flesh it displays in each episode, that goes without saying, but how do you react to your parents watching your work on a show like True Blood? For Anna, it was the orgy scenes in Season 2 that got her grandmother to stop watching, but, for her parents, who had already seen her naked on stage before, it wasn’t so much of a big deal to them.

But what if people are bringing binoculars and whipping out cameras when you are performing naked on stage? How does one ever prepare themselves for that sort of exposure? Check out the video below to find out what Anna Camp thinks about this issue:

True Blood Season 7: Get Ready For a Southern-Off Between Pam & Sarah

Leave a comment

Anna Camp Tells Fans to Prepare For Battle – Southern-Style:

Pam (Kristin Bauer van Straten) and Sarah Newlin (Anna Camp) are set for a Southern-off in HBO's True Blood Season 7With the net quickly closing in on Sarah Newlin (Anna Camp), it appears Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgard), Pam (Kristin Bauer van Straten) and Mr. Gus (Will Yun Lee) may have their hands firmly on Sarah in Sunday’s upcoming Episode of HBO’s True Blood. But don’t expect Sarah to go down without a fight in Episode 8 (entitled Almost Home) – even if she is claiming to be the Messiah. It seems there will be an old-style battle of the Southern wits before Sarah possibly meets her maker. According to Anna Camp, Sarah and Pam will have a run in some time soon:

Pam hates my guts, and she is definitely not holding any of that back. She is one of the actresses that I have always wanted to have scenes with on this show. You see these two Southern belles who are pretty girly, and we have some great one-liners. There’s a handful of scenes that I’m really excited about seeing because she’s awesome to work with.

Who can’t wait for this clash? But will Sarah finally meet with a grisly end after a Hep-V antidote is synthesized? No one is spilling the beans on that Season 7 secret, but it does look likely with Anna Camp having said Sarah ‘definitely deserves to die‘ in several interviews.

COMIC CON 2014: What if There Was a True Blood Season 8?

Leave a comment

The True Blood Cast Discuss Their Show For the Last Time at Comic Con:

Kristin Bauer van Straten stars as vampire Pam in HBO's True Blood Season 7 Episode 7 (entitled 'May Be the Last Time')For the cast of HBO’s True Blood, attending San Diego’s Comic Con this year was bittersweet. While they got to celebrate their show one last time, it also churned up the emotions too. For Kristin Bauer van Straten (who plays vampire Pam – a character with, ironically, very little display of emotion) it was particularly trying. As a person who gets very emotional very easily, she felt worn out and dehydrated by the end:

It’s been really intense. I’m totally dehydrated. I feel like I’m ten months pregnant and I just need a c-section because it’s going on forever.

While Kristin never wanted the show to end, she is certainly over having to relive the end of it!

And what if they did go into a Season 8? Where do they think their characters could have gone? Is there anything their character hadn’t done that the actor would liked to have seen happen if there were another season? Carrie Preston, the actor who plays Arlene Fowler, was happy with Arlene’s story line, but she felt it would have been interesting to see her character become a supernatural!

Sookie, Jessica, Bill and Sarah Newlin All Look So Sad:

Stephen Moyer stars as Bill Compton and Deborah Ann Woll stars as Jessica Hamby in HBO's True Blood Season 7 Episode 7 (entitled 'May Be the Last Time')With only a few short episodes left of HBO’s True Blood Season 7, fans are eager to drain every last drop of information before the show meets it’s final death. So, we have scrounged up some stills for you! Three of these stills show sad faces: Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) seems to be searching to skies for something (her fairy grandfather, Niall Brigant (Rutger Hauger) perhaps?) Sarah Newlin (Anna Camp) seems perplexed over something. Meanwhile, Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) and his progeny, Jessica Hamby (Deborah Ann Woll) appear to be deep in discussion.

And then there is Arlene (Fowler (Carrie Preston). Bright, happy, red like a sunset, Arlene. Seems she is the only one happy in Bon Temps in Episode 7 – sure hope we’re wrong about that.

True Blood Season 7: Sarah Newlin is the New Antidote – ‘Here for the Good of Mankind’

Leave a comment

Could Sarah Newlin Turn From Resident Baddie to Ridding the World of Hep-V?

Sarah Newlin (Anna Camp) gets a new religion and a new haircolour in HBO's True Blood Season 7 Episode 3 Fire in the HoleOn the one hand, in Season 6 of HBO’s True Blood, Sarah Newlin (Anna Camp) played a large part in developing the Hep-V virus that is now ravaging Season 7. On the other hand, in Episode 5 (entitled Karma) of this season we discovered that there was a Hep-V antidote – and that Sarah drank it! Effectively she is now a living breathing Hep-V antidote – but will she use her ‘gift’ for good or bad?

According to Anna Camp (who spoke to Vulture recently), her character is bordering on the edge of becoming full-blown crazy. And, added to that, her latest ‘religion’, Buddhism now has given her the notion she is absolved from all her previous sins:

I think when she goes to the retreat, she realizes these things, and then she starts to believe that God has this master plan for her, because ultimately, she still believes that God or the Buddha or whoever, this higher power, has called on her. She believes someone made her drink it. God gave her the idea to drink it, so now she’s this vessel of love and light. She thinks she’s here to save her sister and humankind, just like Jesus Christ. It’s really messed up! [Laughs.] She’s completely psychotic. She’s lost her mind for Jesus. In this world, I am the new Messiah. She believes she’s been sent to save both the vampire race and the human race. I’m not trying to destroy them anymore. She completely believes this was all meant to be and this all happened for a reason, and she’s just so desperate to get out. She’s a very desperate woman, and I think she’s about to get her comeuppance.

While she may view herself as a messiah, there are still countless threats on her life; Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgard) and Pam (Kristin Bauer van Straten), the Yakuza, Mr. Gus (Will Yun Lee) and all the Hep-V infected vampires left in the world. Anna sees Eric and Pam, however, as Sarah’s biggest threat. After all, their vendetta is more personal than most. They saw just how evil Sarah Newlin can be after they witnessed her brutal torture at Vamp Camp in Season 6.

So will Sarah be able to talk her way out of her current sticky situation or will True Blood Season 7 claim her life?

COMIC CON 2014: True Blood Cast Hints at a ‘Not Happily Ever After’

Leave a comment

Are Eric and Pam True Blood’s Version of ‘True Love’ Then?

True to the End HBO True Blood Season 7 promo posterLast weekend at San Diego’s Comic Con 2014, Zap2It got to talk to the cast of HBO’s True Blood about things such as true love and happy ends and do they exist in the Sookieverse. So how do the residents of Bon Temps and Shreveport view love in this TV series?

According to Kristin Bauer van Straten, who plays vampire Pam, she feels her character’s relationship with her maker, Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgard) transcends the idyllic notion of true love – after all they have been together for more than a hundred years. She suggests that their love is perfect and unconditional after all their time together.

Nelsan Ellis (who plays the flamboyant Lafayette Reynolds) thinks that his character could definitely find true love. And then immediately backs it up with a ‘but we’ll have to wait and see‘ stock response. Chris Bauer (Andy Bellefleur), on the other hand, believes his character has come to forgive vampires and has had the realization that vendettas are actually pointless. Once he discovers this, he also finds out that he is no longer alone in this word any more.

As for Carrie Preston (Arlene Fowler-Bellefleur) and Anna Camp (who plays god-shopper and resident baddie, Sarah Newlin), both women agree that Arlene could possibly be the only person who could talk some sense into Sarah. But apparently the pair never get a scene together, so it is a moot point. Although, this would indicate that Sarah Newlin’s story line could be held entirely in Dallas for this final season. And what a shame too, that is one southern scrag fight I would have loved to see!

Stephen Moyer’s (who plays vampire Bill Compton who is currently suffering from an accelerated dose of Hep-V) words are possibly the most telling though. When asked about whether there will be a happy ending for anyone in True Blood Season 7, his reply was:

I’m not sure that’s how Alan Ball conceived things. Even though Alan’s not running the show any more, happily ever after is something that we have always known on our show that as soon as something good happens to a character, something bad is about to happen. So, do you ever know? Are they ever happy? I don’t know.
