True Blood On Location Filming Historical Home for Season 5

Posted by admin on May 26, 2012 in Photos | 0 comments

True Blood season 5 will premiere on June 10, 2012 and have been very busy filming for a few months now. Recently the show was filming on location (not on a set) at a home that was built in 1882. It is the oldest home in the city. The home was officially named a National Historic Place in 1994. This home has been featured in many commericials, music videos and also on television.

Just what scenes will we see on True Blood from this location? Ryan Kwanten was seen during filming. Unfortunately he was gone by the time I got there. (same day as the Battleship premiere). Some of the casting calls had “Jason” dealing with rowdy parties.

This home would work for a fraternity party or perhaps for the home of the Judge that was in an earlier casting call. Whatever it is at least the premiere will soon be here!

Here are some exterior shots.

Here are some of the images from the interior of the home (from the home website). It has many beautiful rooms including many intricate woodwork details.

Everything At Stake Video Promo Another Version True Blood Season 5

Posted by admin on May 25, 2012 in Photos | 8 comments

Imagine my surprise when I see another True Blood season 5 video trailer while watching a show on NBC. I dvr’d the Law and Order SVU season finale on Wednesday night and half way through they showed another version of the “Everything at Stake” video promo. This version has Roman speaking:

We will not stand by while zealots hijack the righteousness of our cause. Let the night cleanse us of our sins and lead us to victory.

Here are some screen images:

Sookie seems to be trying to get away from a certain vampire in this scene: (Russell perhaps?) The location appears to be the ‘creepy hospital’ used for filming in season 5.

This shows Eric Northman and it looks to be taking place during the flashback scene:

Pam and Eric in the basement of Fangtasia (notice the two coffins-one is pink -Pam’s, the other is brown-is this Eric’s?)

Eric consoling Pam:

Sookie saying how “she ruin’s people’s lives” (in response to Alcide offering to help her)

Reverend Newlin saying this to Jason “My heart bleeds for you”:

This version of the “Everything at Stake” promo shows some very interesting action for season 5! Waiting sucks but the premiere is almost here! Season 5 premieres on June 10, 2012.

Here are my photos from this version of the trailer: (just the new scenes)

What is Lafayette doing here? Hopefully not staking a certain new vampire?

I don’t think he goes through with it since we see him here: blood free

So what do you think is going on fans?

True Blood on Cover of TV Guide Summer Preview Issue

Posted by admin on May 22, 2012 in Photos | 0 comments

True Blood is featured on the upcoming TV Guide magazine cover and a great “spoilery” article inside!

“Christopher Meloni joins Sookie & Co. for a juicy new season” Take a FIRST LOOK at the True Blood TV Guide Magazine cover that hits newsstands this Thursday, 5/24 and share it with Truebies everywhere. Connect with TV Guide Magazine on Facebook:http://itsh.bo/H5Uu5X

UPDATE: here’s the article from the magazine:

Christopher Meloni‘s face is splattered with blood. He’s just shot his first staking scene for HBO’s megahit True Blood — and he’s seriously amped up.

“When that blood hit me in the face, I went, ‘This looks awesome!’” Meloni says gleefully. It’s nearly 11pm and it took two hours to set up the shot — called a “goo drop.” A bucket of stage blood (with some latex blobs mixed in for guts) is suspended from a scaffold. Just below it hangs an empty suit of clothes matching what the actor playing the doomed vamp is wearing. As the stake goes in, the bucket empties through the garments, and the bloodsucker is no more. There’s only one chance to get it right. And Meloni nailed it.

The actor’s excitement is matched only by the seriousness of the character he plays: Roman, the 500-year-old head of the Vampire Authority with the weight of the world on his pinstripe-suited shoulders. He’s chief executive not only of the vampire government but of their religion, too. “My first day on set, I recited a prayer in Aramaic,” says Meloni. No separation of church and state here.

“Roman is a politician who has a dream,” explains executive producer Alan Ball. “He was behind the coming-out-of-the-coffin [movement], something that’s been in the works for at least a hundred years. But there are factions in the vampire community who want to go back to the Dark Ages and feed on humans. The biggest arc in Season 5 is the future of peaceful coexistence.” Adds Meloni, “Roman’s determined. He wants peace, but others have been trying to stomp out his path. Think Obama with very long incisors.”

Tonight’s stakee is one of these fundamentalists, a traitor to the Authority who meets the “true death” in the sleekly furnished conference room of an underground New Orleans compound Ball has nicknamed “the Vampire White House,” where Roman and six chancellors govern the fractious vampire community.

Roman’s pursuit of the conspirators will be a treat for Meloni fans who loved watching him solve crimes in his 12-season run as Det. Elliot Stabler on Law & Order: SVU. Says Meloni, “Elliot was free-form. Roman’s more thoughtful — yet unafraid to pull the trigger. He’s a man of action. Get the facts; get it done. But they both have a certainty of their view. They both think they’re right.”

A major obstacle to Roman’s political agenda has arisen, literally, thanks to two bloodsuckers fans know and love: King of Louisiana Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) and Sheriff Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgård). At the end of Season 3, the two buried crazed former vampire King of Mississippi Russell Edgington (Denis O’Hare) in cement instead of killing him as ordered. Now he has escaped, and Bill and Eric are dragged before Roman for judgment. (It doesn’t help that they also killed the Authority’s Nan Flanagan last season.) They bargain for their survival by offering to track Russell down and bring him in.

When the duo hit the road, “bromance” blooms. “They end up caring for one another,” says Moyer, who will go behind the scenes to direct Episode 8 this season. “Me and Alex are mates, and it’s been really enjoyable actually getting to stuff where we’re not just bitch-slapping each other.”

Bonding won’t make up for the love their characters lost in the season ender when Sookie (Anna Paquin), the fairy-blooded blonde barmaid they’re both in love with, told them she didn’t want to be with either. “Bill has lost the thing that he believed in most, and he now is trying to find something else to believe in,” Moyer says. But apparently he’s not too brokenhearted for some sexy action. Teases Moyer: “There is an unlikely liaison at some point.”

Fans of the Sookie-Bill-Eric triangle, take heart. Mid-season, Sookie teams up with her ex-lovers when they need her mind-reading skills to help question a human witness who saw Russell unearthed. Will she be able to keep her vow and stay away from them romantically? “She’s trying her best to be independent and stand on her own, for better or worse,” says Paquin, who in real life is expecting a baby with husband Moyer. “She wants to eliminate drama from her life.”

True Blood premieres Sunday, June 10 at 9/8c on HBO.
