Evan Rachel Wood Discusses True Blood Fight Scene at Winter TCA Press Conference

1 Comment

A Vampire Grudge Match

Evan Rachel Wood Evan Rachel Wood may be coming back to HBO in March to play Vida in Mildred Pierce, but she couldn’t escape this year’s TCA Winter Press Conference without talking about True Blood. The actress who plays the devious and deceptive Sophie Anne Leclerq, vampire queen of Louisiana was last seen in the season 3 finale about to go head to head with Stephen Moyer (Bill Compton).

Access Hollywood reports that Wood has already shot one episode of our favorite vampire series which included shooting with Moyer. As fans may recall, the final scene between the two vampires last season saw them both take to the air with fangs bared, prepared to duke it out. While we will have to wait until June to see who wins this so called “epic” duel, Sophie Anne has over 300 years on Bill.

We all know Sophie Anne has quite a bit more to worry about than just a fight with Bill.  At the close of season three the Queen was still in the business of selling vampire blood, also known as “V”. Wood was not allowed to discuss any details related to the 4th season. It is believed that Sophie Anne will have a reversal of fortunes, so to speak. Evan supports this belief saying:

“I think she’ll get what she deserves.”

Dynamics on the Set

With all of the high stakes drama we Truebies were given last season, one can’t help but wonder what the atmosphere is like on set. Shooting for the series officially began a little over a month ago after a five month hiatus. When asked about what it was like being back to work, the actress told reporters:

“It’s been great. It’s one of the funniest sets I’ve worked on… [There’s]’s just always something crazy [happening].”

It is nice to know that in the midst of all the blood, fangs, and drama on screen, the mood on set is so light! Season four begins June 12…mark your new 2011 calendars Truebies! And be sure to watch Evan Rachel Wood in Mildred Piece coming this March to HBO!

Evan Returns to HBO in a New Mini-Series

Evan Rachel WoodThe lovely and talented Evan Rachel Wood has made Vampire Queen Sophie Anne Leclerq a character to watch on True Blood. While we must wait until June to see what happened to our beloved queen, Evan will be returning to HBO in the miniseries Mildred Pierce which begins in March. She will play Vida Pierce, daughter of the title character Mildred Pierce, played by Oscar winner Kate Winslet. The series is a “re-imagining” of the original 1945 movie which starred Joan Crawford in the title role.

If you can’t seem to get enough of Wood as Sophie Anne, just wait until you see Mildred Pierce. Referred to as one of the most detestible characters of all time, Vida is a talented singer whose mother will give anything and sacrifices everything to assure her daughter a place in society. The mini-series is set in the 1920s and will give Wood the opportunity to showcase her beautiful singing voice not to mention her fantastic acting chops.

Although there is still very limited information about the project available, a trailer has been released on YouTube and a teaser has been posted at HBO.com. The trailer which I’ve posted below depicts Evan Rachel Wood’s character as a very beautiful and extremely talented singer who does not care what her mother has to do in order to keep her in the spotlight. Even if it means marrying someone she doesn’t love.

I know I’m looking forward to seeing Evan Rachel Wood take on Vida. How about you?
