HBO has released the official key poster art for True Blood‘s sixth season, premiering June 16 at 9 pm, and it’s an ominous sucker.

Bearing the tagline, “No One Lives Forever,” the image features a nondescript male vampire flashing his pearly, pointy whites while striking an unpleasant-looking pose.

Question: There are rumors that True Blood is going to kill off the gorgeous and sexy Eric Northam! Please tell me this isn’t true. 

Ausiello: I can neither confirm or deny the rumors, but I can offer you two pieces of evidence that suggest such a twist is in the realm of possibility. The first one comes care of Joe Manganiello, who tells TVLine, “We’re getting to the point in the season now where people are starting to die. The table reads are starting to get smaller, and I’m sure they will continue to do that.” Exhibit B, meanwhile, arrives in the form of Episode 7′s title — “The Funeral.”

Since Dexter has been murdering people for 20 years, he's able to glide smothly past Maria LaGuerta's death by Deb's bullet (after Deb was forced by Maria-- to chose betweem Maria and Dexter).

Deb, never the picture of emotionally stability,  has something to process or 'live with' for the rest of her life and she must reconcile herself with it, fully which the latest season 8 shots seem to imply that she's not as indicated on a recent DEXTER post on this blog.

Dexter has fallen from revered older brother to sociopath older bro with whom and because of whom, Debra has jeopardized her career/her life.

Q: So, is Bill God now? (Or, did you kill Bill?)

A: I don’t want to say if he is or he isn’t. Who’s to say what Lilith really is? He is still Bill but he is something different.

Q: So there is some of the old Bill in there?

A: It is Bill, but it is a transformed Bill. He is not a completely new person. It’s not like his memories or his experiences have been left out and he’s just a baby.

A: You’ll have to watch [next season]. We didn’t see her die.

Q: And Russell? Is he really dead? He’s gone. We may see him in flashbacks, but he bit it.

And now the question that has been looming ever-more largely, after Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer's bundles of joy arrive, will Mrs. Moyer be inclined to return to her job as "Sookie Stackhouse' on HBO's TRUE BLOOD?

First, I must be honest with you: I don't know.

Paquin is famously private and so has said very-little-to-nothing about her 'condition.' The timing of the arrival has been announced as 'in the fall' (of 2012) which means she and Moyer would have at least the traditional amount of time that the average working American mom has to enjoy her babies. Sadly, if she were in New Zealand, the country which she has referred to as where she calls 'home', she'd have a lot more time off to do all the things that a mother of newborn twins does, which is to put it simply, twice as much as a mom of a singleton. That is, if she were an average mum.

The upside is that much of True Blood's filming is done at night so once the babies have settled into a nightly routine it could be a bit of an easing up on the pressure that all new mothers face. I'm assuming that there will be a nursery on the True Blood set, that nannies will be involved, and of course, the bonus of both mom and dad working on the same television show. Even so, Paquin has the additional pressure of having to get back into pre-baby shape pretty darn quick. Hopefully, the costume department will help her out a bit there as well as the camera people, who seemed finally to get the hang of shooting a pregnant actress whose character was not pregnant by the final episode of season 5.

When all is said and done, most likely, though twins are automatically considered a high-risk pregnancy, Anna Paquin will give birth to healthy babies and because she has the resources she'll be able to cope with both work and the raising of two babies with the variety of help at her disposal, not the least of which is her husband, Stephen Moyer. His character on True Blood who has been dubbed "Billith," will be getting some serious face time in season 6, so unless they kill him off early in the season (doubtful) both Paquin and Moyer will return to work on True Blood as scheduled sometime in late 2012 or early 2013.

Game of Thrones Panel SSDD 2012 - Looking restless, Alfie Allen (Theon Greyjoy) peruses the room. It is not his imagination. Stuck on the tail end of the panel, they have been ignoring him.

HBO just announced 14 new cast additions to season three of Game of Thrones. Season three also got a premiere date: March 31, 2013. (Video with all the actors below).

Diana Rigg as Lady Olenna Tyrell. Also known as “The Queen of Thorns,” Lady Olenna is the grandmother of Margaery and Loras Tyrell and is, in many ways, the true leader of their powerful family.

I'm especially intrigued with Dame Diana Rigg being cast in another high-profile role--two in just a short span of time. She will be a really good Queen of Thorns!

Mackenzie Crook as Orell. A wildling raider, Orell is a “warg” or “skinchanger,” with the ability to enter the mind of an animal and control its actions.

Clive Russell as Bryndon “The Blackfish” Tully. Known far and wide as “The Blackfish,” Brynden is a famous knight and the uncle of Catelyn Stark. He quarreled bitterly with his brother, Lord Hoster Tully, and the two were estranged for many years.

I don't know Clive Russell's work but he certainly looks and sounds like a good fit for the role of 'Blackfish Tully' (see casting season 3 video, this page).

Game of Thrones - Season 3 - 11 Reasons To Be Excited
Posted by DarkUFO at Friday, June 22, 2012

Jojen and Meera Reed, 'Teenage Crannogmen':

The Reed siblings are introduced in George Martin's 'A Song Of Ice and Fire' book series in the second book, A Clash of Kings.

 

The Reed's father is a bannerman to the Starks and his children go to Winterfell to renew their pledge. The Reeds are there for almost everything that happens to Bran in season 2 including when Theon took over Winterfell. Meera Reed protects the children while Jojen Reed helps Bran with his visions. How they’re going to be introduced in season 3 is still a mystery, but these two characters are pivotal in Bran’s story and give some much needed spice and sense of adventure as well.

 

Important character traits to know about:  Crannogmen

The Crannogmen are so called for their habit of living in small villages formed of reeds and thatch that sit atop floating islands in the mire ('crannogs'). They are a poor people and seldom leave their lands subsisting on fishing and frogging.

They are talented hunters and warriors and despite their short stature and somewhat primitive lifestyle, the crannogmen have proven a notoriously difficult people to conquer.

They use nets, bronze knives, frog spears, and round leather shields. They fight with poison, guerrilla tactics, and a mastery of their difficult terrain.

According to those who have fought them, their houses, even their castles move. They are disparaged as "frog-eaters, swamp-dwellers, mud-men and bog devils" by most other people of the Seven Kingdoms and are looked down upon for their tactics, which are viewed as cowardly.

The histories say that the crannogmen grew close to the children of the forest in the days when the greenseers tried to bring the hammer of waters down upon the Neck.

Since that time, they have sworn their oaths of fealty to the Starks thousands of years ago.

They are ruled by House Reed from Greywater Watch. Other families of crannogmen are House Fenn, Peat, Boggs, Cray, Quagg, Greengood and Blackmyre.

They have an ages-old feud with House Frey, who rule the lands immediately to the south.'

 

 

Up through ASoIaF book#3, neither of the characters that Kit Harington ('Jon Snow' ) or Emilia Clarke ('Daeneys Targaryen') play, have met 'the Hound.'

Sandor Clegane (a.k.a. The Hound) played by Rory McCann: Where will we meet him next? And, through which completely unexpected ASoIaF character will we meet him?

The last the Kingsguard saw of The Hound, he said this:

[the Hound's fear of fire is renewed watching people burn to death, and refuses to keep fighting] Sandor Clegane: I lost half of my men. The Blackwater is on fire. Joffrey Baratheon: Dog, I command you to go back up there and fight! [the Hound shakes his head] Tyrion Lannister: You're in the Kingsguard, Clegane. We must beat them back or they're going to take the city... your king's city. Sandor Clegane: F*ck the Kingsguard. F*ck the city. F*ck the king.' [the Hound walks away] (IMDb)

During the Battle of the Blackwater, Clegane fled King’s Landing and offered to take Sansa with him. Although she denied him, his story is definitely not over. He doesn’t get POV chapters though, so he reappears in another character’s storyline and is actually a welcome and frightening addition. The interactions between this POV character and Clegane are “different” and are definitely worth the wait.

The Return of Barristan Selmy:

I do remember this scene and I'm familiar with the character but I cannot picture the actor (Ian McElhinney) who portrayed Barristan Selmy on Game of Thrones.

In case viewers have forgotten, Barristan Selmy was the Lord Commander of the Kingsguards until Joffrey humiliatingly dismissed him. He vowed to find the rightful king to serve and stormed off without ever being seen again…until now. Without giving away too much, he certainly thought long and hard about who he was going to look for because his return is quite the surprise, even to the readers. He actually returned much sooner, but was not revealed until book three through the eyes of a POV character who readers thought would never meet him. Hopefully the show gives him the justice he deserves.

Game Of Thrones Season 2: Recap #20:

 

The Tyrell family scores major points as Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer) becomes King Joffery's betrothed (!)

EW.com has a list of new characters coming to HBO’s Game of Thrones in season three.

 

Fans have been wondering which names from George R.R. Martin’s third Song of Ice and Fire novel, A Storm of Swords, will be introduced next year, especially since the lengthy book is being divided into two seasons.

GAME OF THRONES showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss spoke about some of the creative changes this year and next season’s plans:

“[Jojen and Meera Reed] haven’t been written out,” Benioff says.

“It’s important to point out that that we have the largest cast on television right now. We introduced dozens of new characters in season two. If you hurl 300 characters at an audience, the story collapses under the weight of too many faces, too many names, and too many subplots. We need to be just as mindful of the audience members who have never read the books as we are of the readers; the series will fail if we only appeal to those who already know the characters. So we try to be parsimonious about how many new roles we introduce to the story and when we introduce them.”

Here’s A CHARACTER LIST of some of the new faces who will appear in season three of GAME OF THRONES on HBO:


– Mance Rayder: We’ve heard about him all season. A former member of the Night’s Watch who became the “King Beyond the Wall,” the leader of the Wildlings.

– Daario Naharis: A confident and seductive warrior.

– Jojen Reed; Meera Reed: A teenage brother and sister duo with special insights,  (in the books, friends of the Starks).

– Edmure Tully: A brash young member of the Tully family. (Catelyn's brother)

– Ser Brynden Tully (The Blackfish): Catelyn Stark’s uncle.

– Lady Selyse Florent: Stannis Baratheon’s wife.

– Shireen Baratheon: Stannis’ daughter.

– Olenna Redwyne ('The Queen of Thorns'): Margaery Tyrell’s sharp-witted grandmother.

– Beric Dondarrion: A skilled knight who is the leader of the outlaw group, Brotherhood Without Banners. Rumours persist that he has been killed many times yet he 'soldiers on.'

– Thoros of Myr: A red priest who follows the same religion as Melisandre.

– Tormund Giantsbane: A Wildling raider. (to say the least)

JOHNNY DEPP Shares True Inspiration For His TONTO in The LONE RANGER #johnnydepp #loneranger

ABOVE: Johnny Depp's inspiration for his character 'Tonto' in The Lone Ranger film More at: http://kirbysattler.sattlerartprint.com/

 

It was clear from this first photo released from The Lone Ranger set last month, that Johnny Depp was sticking by his word to make his Tonto a radical departure from the Jay Silverheels' Tonto of the the 1950s-era television show.

But ever since the photo still of Depp and Armie Hammer as the Lone Ranger was made public, inquiring minds have been asking: What exactly is the origin of his black-and-white painted warrior?

“I’d actually seen a painting by an artist named Kirby Sattler, and looked at the face of this warrior and thought: That’s it,” Depp said in a recent interview. “The stripes down the face and across the eyes … it seemed to me like you could almost see the separate sections of the individual, if you know what I mean.”...

Depp explained that the lines of paint on the Native American’s face looked to him like a cross-section of the man’s emotional life.

“There’s this very wise quarter, a very tortured and hurt section, and angry and rageful section, and a very understanding and unique side. I saw these parts, almost like dissecting a brain, these slivers of the individual,” he said.”That makeup inspired me.”

 The painting also provided inspiration for Tonto’s headdress. “It just so happened Sattler had painted a bird flying directly behind the warrior’s head. It looked to me like it was sitting on top,” Depp said, which led him to another eureka moment. “I thought: Tonto’s got a bird on his head. It’s his spirit guide in a way. It’s dead to others, but it’s not dead to him. It’s very much alive.”...

For his part, Depp has said his motivation to play the character came from disliking how Tonto was relegated to  subservience in the old... TV series. While the look may not be historically authentic, Depp wants Tonto’s character to be honorable and self-reliant...

“The whole reason I wanted to play Tonto is to try to [mess] around with the stereotype of the American Indian that has been laid out through history, or the history of cinema at the very least — especially Tonto as the sidekick, The Lone Ranger’s assistant,” Depp told EW. “As you’ll see, it’s most definitely not that.”
