First Season 8 Extended Scene (VIDEO) below:

Dexter (Michael C. Hall), only weeks after Deb (Jennifer Carpenter) murdered LaGuerta to prevent  her from turning him in, seems completely oblivious to the tumult that Deb is experiencing.

Dexter Season 8 - Miami Metro's best? (Credit: Showtime-access-tumblr-com)

She wasn't handling knowing that Dexter was a serial killer all that well and now, because of her love for her brother she's allowed him to draw her in to his murderous ways--and Debra hates both Dexter and herself but above all, herself for turning into a despicable creature that she does not recognize as the old Debra, who will not ever be able to look at herself in the mirror and just see "Deb," ever again.

Has the murder of Maria LaGuerta by Deb on Dexter's behalf at the end of season 7 started Deb on the path to a place she won't be able to come back from?

To thank you for your love and support over the last seven years, we wanted you, the fans, to be the first to see an exclusive sneak peek at the eighth and final season of DEXTER!

'Dexter' June 30th at 9pm ET/PT on Showtime.

We can confirm that the upcoming eighth season of our groundbreaking series DEXTER® will be its final one. Today’s announcement coincides with the release of an exclusive tease from the premiere of the series’ eighth and final season, which debuts on Sunday June 30th at 9 p.m. ET/PT . The series premiered on October 1, 2006 and has grown its loyal audience every season since its debut. DEXTER was the recipient of the prestigious Peabody Award, as well as 25 Emmy and 10 Golden Globe Award nominations, and was twice named one of AFI’s top ten television series. “When it debuted in 2006, DEXTER redefined the genre, by taking the anti-hero to new heights and pushing the boundaries of the television landscape,” said Matthew C. Blank, Chairman and CEO, Showtime Networks Inc. “DEXTER paved the way for the next generation of award-winning hit SHOWTIME series, and its cultural impact will be felt for years to come.” “DEXTER is a landmark franchise for our network, and we cannot wait to unveil the conclusion of this series, as we know it, to the millions of passionate fans who have supported the show season after season,” said David Nevins, President of Entertainment, Showtime Networks Inc. “We’d like to thank Michael, Jennifer, and DEXTER ‘s indomitable cast, executive producers, writers and crew for eight incredible seasons.” The exclusive tease from DEXTER ‘s eighth and final season premiere gives fans a sneak peek into the mindset of Dexter and Debra Morgan after LaGuerta’s death in season seven.

DEXTER stars Michael C. Hall in his Golden Globe and SAG Award-winning role as Dexter Morgan, a complicated and conflicted blood-spatter expert for the Miami police department. Season eight begins six months after LaGuerta’s murder – and Dexter is still managing life as a dad, brother, and serial killer. As Deb (series star Jennifer Carpenter) struggles to deal with the consequences of her actions, a mysterious woman comes to work with Miami Metro, offering first-hand information on Dexter’s past. The series also stars Desmond Harrington, C.S. Lee, Aimee Garcia, David Zayas, Geoff Pierson and James Remar.

Are You Ready for Game Of Thrones Season 3?

Rose Leslie as Ygritte in Game Of Thrones Season 3 (Credit: EW)

You may think you know how brutal HBO’s beautiful, dark, twisted fantasy Game of Thrones can get, but to paraphrase Wildling temptress Ygritte: “You know nothing about season 3.” Based on roughly the first half of the third novel in George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series,  A Storm of Swords, this season continues the epic story of rival families vying for power in a fantasy kingdom where winter and summer last for years. It includes some of the most rousing  moments of triumph in the saga’s five-book (so far) histroy — as well as its most bloody casualties. ...“Emotionally, this season really goes for the jugular,” Thrones executive story editor Bryan Cogman tells Entertainment Weekly in this week’s issue. “In some cases, quite literally.”...

Showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss are reluctant to raise expectations any higher, but are optimistic...One particular “Scene Which Shall Not Be Named,” as Benioff called it, left the Thrones team devastated. “I’ve never seen the crew so emotional,” Benioff says. “If the scene has that effect on the people making it who know what’s coming, if they’re that overpowered, I think it’s going to have an overwhelming effect on people watching it.” (cont.)

This season, the Lannister family backstabbing is ratcheted to a new level now that Lord Tywin (Charles Dance) has returned to King’s Landing. Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) struggles to purchase a merciless eunuch army. Kingslayer Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) attempts to escape the confinement of his noble escort Brienne (Gwendoline Christie). Jon Snow (Kit Harington) infiltrates the rival Wildling camp led by Mance Rayder (Ciarán Hinds), while the mesmerizing Ygritte (Rose Leslie) tries to melt Jon Snow’s heart.

HBO's Season 3 adaption of Game of Thrones is one that has long been anticipated by fans of the George R.R. Martin epic fantasy series "A Song Of Ice & Fire."

Based on parts of book 3, this season some of the most compelling characters get into some of the most memorable situations of the entire series thus far.

Diana Rigg as Lady Oleanna (Cr: EW)

Diana Rigg will play a character that stood out for her extreme directness, her lack of desire to suffer fools and her ability to scheme. It should be an absolute joy to see Rigg take on the pivotal role of Lady Oleanna Tyrell.

GAME OF THRONES RETURNS FOR THIRD SEASON MARCH 31

As Blackwater Bay cools, the victors consolidate their power and rebuild King’s Landing. But new challengers for the Iron Throne rise from the most unexpected places. Characters old and new must navigate the demands of family, honor, ambition, love and – above all – survival, as the Westeros civil war rages into autumn.
Based on the bestselling fantasy book series by George R.R. Martin, GAME OF THRONES is an epic story of treachery and nobility set on the continent of Westeros, where summers and winters can last years, and only the lust for power is eternal. The Emmy®- and Golden Globe-winning series returns for its ten-episode third season SUNDAY, MARCH 31 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT), exclusively on HBO, followed by other episodes on subsequent Sundays at the same time.

As season three begins, the Lannisters hold absolute dominion over King’s Landing after repelling Stannis Baratheon’s forces. Yet Robb Stark, King in the North, still controls much of the South as well, and has yet to lose a battle. In the Far North, Mance Rayder has united the wildlings into the largest army Westeros has ever seen. Only the Night’s Watch stands between him and the Seven Kingdoms, but nobody knows what happened to its Lord Commander and the force he led beyond the Wall.

Across the Narrow Sea, Daenerys Targaryen – reunited with her three growing dragons – ventures into Slaver’s Bay in search of ships to take her home and allies to conquer it.

Returning series regulars on GAME OF THRONES this season include: Emmy® and Golden Globe winner Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister), Michelle Fairley (Catelyn Stark), Lena Headey (Cersei Lannister), Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen), Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister), Aidan Gillen (Petyr “Littlefinger” Baelish), Iain Glen (Jorah Mormont), Kit Harington (Jon Snow), Richard Madden (Robb Stark), Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister), Maisie Williams (Arya Stark), Isaac Hempstead Wright (Bran Stark), Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark) and Jack Gleeson (Joffrey Baratheon).

Additional returning series regulars this season include: Alfie Allen (Theon Greyjoy), Jerome Flynn (Bronn), Rory McCann (Sandor “The Hound” Clegane), Conleth Hill (Varys), John Bradley (Samwell Tarly), Gwendoline Christie (Brienne of Tarth), James Cosmo (Commander Jeor Mormont), Stephen Dillane (Stannis Baratheon), Carice van Houten (Melisandre), Liam Cunningham (Davos Seaworth), Sibel Kekilli (Shae), Rose Leslie (Ygritte) and Natalie Dormer (Margaery Tyrell).

Returning recurring cast members on GAME OF THRONES this season include: Natalia Tena (Osha), Joe Dempsie (Gendry), Oona Chaplin (Talisa Maegyr Stark), Julian Glover (Maester Pycelle), Kristian Nairn (Hodor), Finn Jones (Loras Tyrell), Esmé Bianco (Ros), Gemma Whelen (Yara Greyjoy), Hannah Murray (Gilly) and Art Parkinson (Rickon Stark).

You know your show is a big deal when you need to cast a drummer and Will Champion shows up.

The Coldplay musician will appear in the eagerly anticipated third season of the fantasy drama.
Here’s all we’re permitted to reveal about his part: Champion will play … a drummer!

This is actually the second famous musician joining Thrones during the upcoming season — Snow Patrol lead singer Gary Lightbody was cast last summer in a role that hasn’t yet been officially described (Next: Bono as Ramsay Snow!).

Game of Thrones - Season 3 - Set Photos - First look at Daario and Missandei:

Game of Thrones - Season 3 - Set Photos - Khaleesi & Ser Jorah (thumbnails):

Can't argue that the Game of Thrones season 3 sets and costumes don't look as amazinglynrealistic as ever. I imagine a tour of the sets would be a truly spectacular experience but since I don't think it feasible to travel so afar at this time, these photos will have to suffice.

Despite the inevitable nit-picking from the the devout Game of Thrones 'bookies' that rue the transition of the look of a fantasy book character to the costuming of an actual actor who is not going to be trussed up and CGI'ed like say, Gollum in the big screen LotR, I see no reason to complain that Daario is missing his 'blue hair and 3-prong blue beard with gold mustachio tips.' To be most forthright, this aspect of the series--all of the Mother of Dragons/Khaleesi adventures is the least interesting of the series thus far. To say they give her 'nothing' to do' is rather an exaggertion; to assess that she really does not accomplish a lot given how much time she expends doing it? That might be fair. My truth is that every time I get to a 'Khaleesi' chapter in the Game Of Thrones series I wish to skip it, though I don't. I'm hoping that Emilia Clarke, the actor portraying her, will somehow mine something of interest (besides Ser Jorah) out of the television adaption. To sum up, I hope the whole Mother of Dragons aspect of the books is greatly improved for the television adaption--that, or her screen time is reduced.

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)

Jerome Flynn is exactly as I would have pictured the character from reading the books and he certainly acts the part. I'm going on record as wanting Bronn's fate in the Battle of Blackwater be exactly like that of the book. It worked very well there and will here as well. Seriously. It's a very bloody battle.

 Arya is taken to Harrenhal, along with Gendry, Hot Pie and the other prisoners. At Harrenhal, the Mountain makes his first season 2 appearance while we meet The Tickler for the first time. Arya first begins reciting her “nightly prayer”--repeating the names of those she intends to kill: “Joffrey, Cersei, Ilyn Payne, the Hound.” Her experience in the camp has added a name to that list, though: Polliver, one of the Lannister guards who abused her fellow prisoners. Gendry is chosen to be the Tickler’s next victim but Lord Tywin Lannister arrives just in time. He scolds the Mountain and his men for not putting his captives to work. He orders them to find work for the prisoners and immediately recognizing Arya for the girl that she is, takes Arya as his cupbearer. Gendry is enlisted as a smith.

Meanwhile, the 'Young Wolf', King of the North Robb Stark, wins a great victory against the Lannister forces. However, he gets a reality check from 'Talisa,' a pseudonym apparently, for Jeyne Westerling (Oona Chaplin). Talisa saves a Lannister soldier’s life by amputating his leg, while Robb holds him down. Later she challenges Robb on his plan after he wins the war, to which Robb replies, he doesn’t know.

Back in King’s Landing, King Joffrey is punishing Sansa for her brother’s victory. Thankfully, Tyrion arrives and puts a stop to it.

Later, Joff's uncle Tyrion sends him prostitutes as a present after his sellsword Bronn, suggests that maybe Joff might benefit getting un'clogged' (ew). We quickly see that Joffrey isn't interested  in getting off sexually, rather he orders Ros to beat the other prostitute at crossbow-point to send a message to his uncle. While we don’t see Tyrion receive Joff’s message, we do see him discover Lancel Lannister's secret (he's bedding Queen Regent Cersei) and use it turn him into an informer.

Meanwhile, across the Narrow Sea, 'Dragon Mother' Daenerys has arrived at the gates of Qarth, “the greatest city that ever was or will be.” Her stubbornness pays off as her threat—“turn us away and we will burn you first”—impresses, and after some deliberation outside of the city gates, Dany’s khalasar is finally allowed entrance to the city after Xaro Xhoan Daxos invokes ‘sumai’, agreeing to stand for her.

Littlefinger arrives at Renly’s camp with a message for Catelyn: Tyrion wishes to trade Jaime Lannister for Sansa and Arya. As a gesture of goodwill, Littlefinger delivers Ned’s bones to Catelyn.

The next day, Stannis arrives on the scene to treat with Renly, both men wanting to take the throne in King’s Landing. Stannis, the “charmless” elder, believes the crown is his by divine right. Younger brother Renly has many friends and has gathered a much larger force but he can’t know his brother’s secret weapon—the “child” his high priestess Melisandre will be bearing him later that night. Stannis delivers the ultimatum, Renly has until dawn to surrender and bend the knee. That night, Stannis sends Davos and Melisandre to the shore. There, in a cave beneath Renly’s camp, Melisandre disrobes, lies on the ground and gives birth to a shadow demon.

Update 5.21.11! True Blood Season 4 Casting News and Spoilers Updated: (5.02.11) #trueblood #spoilers #casting

 

(Photo: HBO inc.)

Though I've been off the the trail of True Blood news this week past, it seems I have not missed a whole heckuva lot--which I suppose, is both good and bad.

If I can be super-honest, I believe HBO's publicity machine toned things down a bit this last week or so in conjunction with the release of Charlaine Harris's 11th edition of the Sookie Stackhouse Southern Gothic Mysteries from which Alan Ball's True Blood premium cable TV show sprang.

We are so often reminded how the two are separate by fans of True Blood, fans of the Sookie books and by the creators of both, but the reality is that the two are inexorably intertwined. 'Sookie #11' was released today, May 3, so with that I'm hoping that we can get back the show.

Updated Casting Call May 21:

Deadline has recently published a new casting release for True Blood Season 4. According to them a new sheriff will be in town this year. Actor Peter Macdissi will be playing the part.  As it turns out this won’t be his first time in an Alan Ball project. His IMDB resume revealed that he starred in Alan’s Six Feet Under and movie Towelhead. Of Macdissi’s role, Deadline says:

“ He will play Luis Patiño, a vampire sheriff in Louisiana, who harbors a troubled past with ties to the Spanish Inquisition, torture, and the witches that are settling in Bon Temps.”

True Blood Casting Call News May 2:

Here’s the latest casting call for True Blood and the first one for Episode 10 (two versions of the news blurb).

[LITTLE GIRL] 6 to 8 years old to play younger. This terrified and lost little girl who is covered with blood cries out for her mother…1 line, 2 scenes

Producers are looking for a young girl, aged six to eight, to wander around covered in blood while screaming piteously for her mother.

May 2: 

Bon Temps will continue to burnish it's reputation as Louisiana's most supernatural town when True Blood 's fourth season premieres June 26 on HBO.

"There's going to be a lot of people not getting along," says Joe Manganiello, who plays Sookie bf-wannabe-hunky werewolf, Alcide Herveaux.

"The witches are starting trouble with the vampires, and the werewolves, of course, don't like the vampires, either. And the fairies don't like the vampires." "Alcide doesn't like vampires at all, so you'll definitely see that conflict," Joe Manganiello says. "But he doesn't like werewolves (his own kind) [either]. He does like Sookie, (however)."

How's that going to sit with Bill and Eric?

"His situation gets very complicated very fast," he says.

 Mmmm...What's For Breakfast!?!:

 Lafayette Reynolds (Nelsan Ellis) and his shaman boyfriend Jesus Velasquez (Kevin Alejandro) will face a culinary challenge straight out of reality show Survivor.

"Lafayette and I go on a huge adventure where some unfortunate things happen," Kevin reports. "We end up having a very creepy breakfast with some really interesting people, and Lafayette has a real hard time with it."

So what's on the menu? Cagey Kevin tells me the Bayou boys will chow down on one of these three delicacies: a) a cow face, b) a goat tongue or c) poisonous snake venom.

"It's going to turn your stomach!" 

 Sam and Tommy's Season 4 Story-Arc is Shaping Up!:

Shape-shifting brothers Sam Merlotte (Sam Trammell) and Tommy Mickens (Marshall Allman) will be taking to the skies in a owl vs. hawk mid-air chase. The scene required both men to strip down in the middle of the woods on a cold winter night in Los Angeles.*

"At one point, I had to match the trajectory of a hawk flying up to a trainer on a crane by jumping high and spreading out my arms to fly off," recalls Marshall.

He adds that this is only the beginning of the menagerie madness as...

"Tommy takes shape-shifting to a whole other level with a unique wild-card creature that will prove to be a game-changer in Bon Temps' supernatural power play."

(There is no way Marshall Allman spoke that tongue-twisting sentence without a script. No. Way.)

*I'm sorry, "cold winter night in Los Angeles?" Too funny! I mean, was there snow n' stuff? I'm assuming the writer (Keck) is based in L.A. If so, he knows that there is only two seasons in SoCal: summer and the rainy season.

True Blood Season 4 Spoilers Update (3.01.11) via Kristen

As you probably know, though True Blood season 4 is in production , it is way too early to be getting many meaty spoilers. Kudos to the cast for finding different ways to cheerfully chat about their character's story arcs in season 4 without really giving much at all away in the way of solid information.

Here are some more snippets from Sam Trammell, (Sam Merlotte), Rutina Wesley (Tara Thornton) and Deborah Ann Woll (Jessica Hamby) that they shared whilst at the recent True Blood Vol. 1: All Together Now Graphic novel promotion/ autograph signing.

Q: Do you know any new spoilers related to season four of True Blood?
 Sam Trammell said, at the Barnes & Noble book signing event this weekend past for True Blood Vol. 1: All Together Now in re: Sam Merlotte's Season 4 future:

"What's great about this year is that we explore the shape-shifter community a little bit more, so there's going to be a lot of cool mythological stuff that we talk about, shape-shifter rules and what shape-shifters can do and who they are. Sam's [also] got a new love interest ('Luna' played by Janina Gavankar) that's going to happen this year for him. I don't have really good luck with the ladies, they usually die—so hopefully she'll survive."

Much more after the jump!

It's 70's music Wednesday: Rolling Stones 'Tumbling Dice' - Stones 'Happy' Live Videos

 Rolling Stones 'Tumbling Dice' - Stones 'Happy' Music Videos and BTS:

MonsieurBaudelaire | October 08, 2006

EDIT 2.4.11/Am reading Keith Richards 2010 biography right now -- 'bout halfway through. It's extremely enlightening in regard to how these rock and roll gems came to be. Richards is also quite an entertaining storyteller with a keen memory for details. Who would have guessed?!

"Tumbling Dice" by the Rolling Stones was the first rock n' roll record I ever bought. I was 12 years old and despite the fact that I owned the the entire Beatles catalog--that music was what my parents bought for me.

"Tumbling Dice" I bought myself as a single (a 45 record) with my allowance.

I remember when I was ticked off by my parents, I went upstairs to my room, put on Tumbling Dice and cranked that green and white plastic record player to the max--hoping to piss them off. Heh.

Wikipedia: Tumbling Dice

"Tumbling Dice" is a rock song written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards for The Rolling Stones' 1972 double album Exile on Main St. and was the album's first single. It is a Rolling Stones concert favorite and is performed at almost every Rolling Stones concert.

So I chose one of the all-time rock  n' roll classics off of Exile On Main Street. I just learned that as I did not become a Stones fan. I liked some of their stuff and in fact one of my favourites is "Happy" which is from the same album and was released after "Tumbling Dice."

Wikipedia: Happy

"Happy" is the tenth song from the Rolling Stones' 1972 album Exile On Main St.  Guitarist Keith Richards famously laid down the music with producer Jimmy Miller on drums while waiting for the other Stones to show up for work.

"Happy" is generally considered Keith's finest lead vocal performance. It was his only lead which was released as a single and managed to reach the Top 30 in the US.

True Blood is an Adaption NOT a Translation - Michelle Forbes ('Maryann')

Michelle Forbes (Maryann) Sam Trammell (Sam Merlotte): Credit HBO, inc.

I admire Michelle Forbes for several reasons but none more so than her willingness to be candid about how she thinks and feels--despite criticism for making "bad" career choices. An early example of this was when she was cast as Ensign Ro Laren on the television show Star Trek: The Next Generation. Ensign Ro, a Bajoran, was well-liked by Star Trek: TNG fans who were dumbfounded when just as her role on the show was expanding Forbes feared being typecast and she bolted, leaving the Star Trek universe behind.

I must admit, I too was kind of peeved with her because she was darn good!

It didn't stop me from enjoying the times that I found her on the small screen. The role I enjoyed her in most (though admittedly, I've not seen quite a bit of her TV work--she's done a lot of it) was as Admiral Cain of the Pegasus on Battlestar Galactica in the telefilm "Razor" (Michelle was the razor!). She should have gotten an award for that performance which included both the film and a multi-episode arc but alas (to my knowledge), she did not.

Now comes True Blood and by every account I've seen she's a fan favourite. Now too comes an in-depth interview by TVGuide.com and kudos to them because they did an excellent job of getting the kind of details that fans of the show clamour for.

But Michelle being who she is went ahead and stated her feelings in the interview about "book-ies"--those of us that have read Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse series which the show is based on, and some of us who expect the series to be true to the books. I would think "book-ies," who love the show but hate that it doesn't reproduce the books line-for-line are in the minority.

Just the same, Michelle using the term 'book-ies" sounds sort of like they are a little cult (kind of like Trekkies) though within context it sounds like she meant no derision. Still, but I feel a backlash coming. "Where does she get off blah, blah. Who does she think she is!? And so on.

I say let it go. Michelle plays wicked strong women who we love to watch. Offstage, she sounds like a strong woman, firm in her opinions and able to articulate them quite intelligently. For lack of better terminology you have to take the whole package. I don't think there was anything wrong with what she said to to TVGuide which was:

TVGuide.com: Were you a fan of Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse novels?

"I'd never even heard of them. I bought them, read the first one and then put them down because we are telling our own story. For the "book-ies" out there, everyone has to remember that it's an adaptation, not a translation."

I really enjoyed reading the interview and felt I came away more enlightened about the show. A couple of my favourite quotes are below (be sure to click through to read the article in full).

How Forbes sums up True Blood:

"You have this landscape for social commentary, for questioning injustice, compassion and our pack-mentality thinking allegorically."

About Maryann being rather Zen in her outlook on life:

"She's happy; she's happier than all of us. It pisses me off actually."

About what she like the most about inhabiting Maryann as a character: ...

 "... it has been liberating playing Maryann. There is a sense of contentment that was, to be honest, initially horrifying and frightening to me. She's not afraid of anything, and not in that clichéd way, she's truly just OK. She's not afraid. She can eat what she likes, she can have sex with whom she likes, she can play with whom she likes. She can dress in beautiful clothes. She has everything at her fingertips. There's nothing she doesn't need."

And quite amusingingly, she describes exactly how her wardrobe helps her channel Maryann:

"She is that Ibiza party girl. She's the girl who never left the party, but it hasn't hurt her. Those people are usually quite tragic, but she's not. She doesn't give one blink as to what people think of her. She's free of all those constraints."

And one SPOILER about just what Maryann is:

Q: So Maryann is a hybrid of some sort?  

Forbes: 'Yes. With these characters, you can do as much research as you want, but you're not going to find out that vampires sometimes wear tracksuits and flip-flops.'
