True Blood Eric Season 4 Promos

Image
Here is a treat for those  True Blood  fans who are all about Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgård), HBO has released an 'Eric' promo just in time for the premiere on Sunday. In addition last night was the official premiere of season 4 at ArcLight’s Cinerama Dome in Los Angeles which was attended by many of the cast past and present. Alexander Skarsgård looked as dapper as ever posing with real life husband and wife Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer. So what is in store for Eric in season 4? Where season 3 ended for Eric:  Bill (Stephen Moyer) tried to get rid of all the vampires that knew about the special quality of Sookie's (Anna Paquin) blood, but this did not go according to plan and Pam (Kristin Bauer van Straten) managed to save Eric from the cement grave that Bill had put him in. Eric then proceeded to tell Sookie that Bill had always known that there was something special about Sookie and that he had engineered their first encounter and set it all up so that he would ha

The Walking Dead Season 2 Casts Its First New Survivor

With  The Walking Dead  gearing up for a fall return, it's about time that we started getting some casting news.  TV Guide  is reporting that actor Pruitt Taylor Vince is the first new person to be cast for season two. Vince, who had a recurring role as agent J.J. LaRoche on  The Mentalist , is reportedly playing a new surviv0r that Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and his family will meet when they journey to Hershel's farm after leaving Atlanta in the season one finale. Vince's character, named Otis, is described by  TV Guide  as "easygoing but racist." The character has a girlfriend, Patricia. They both stayed at Wiltshire Estates, a suburb that was eventually overrun by zombies; afterward, the couple fled to Hershel's farm. He'll meet Rick and co. under "less than optimal circumstances." Otis  is  a character from the comics, and without any plot spoilers, I can tell you that he and Rick really will not get along due to the circumstances of thei

Jon Hamm's New Contract: Will Mad Men Run Seven Seasons?

Image
Mad Men  is showing no signs of quitting just yet. The flagship AMC drama, which follows ad man Don Draper through the 1960s, has signed on lead actor Jon Hamm for a three year deal, Deadline  is reporting . Hamm, who has recently appeared in films such as  The Town  and  Sucker Punch , first came to prominence through  Mad Men . Now, it seems, he'll be one of the highest actors on cable with an eight-figure deal (the specific number is not being reported). Hamm's contract with AMC parallels  Mad Men showrunner Matthew Weiner's contract, which is also for three years, making it likely that the series will have a full run of seven seasons. Hamm was reportedly Lionsgate and AMC's first priority after signing Weiner, and contracts will likely be pursued with other major players in the cast, with bumps in pay similar to Hamm's in exchange for the longer tenure of the contract. Mad Men  is slated to return in 2012 for its fifth season after a much delayed battle between

Game of Thrones Finale Ratings: Did People Actually Quit Watching?

Image
There's a great metaphor that  Game of Thrones executive producer D.B. Weisss\ used  in an interview with  Entertainment Weekly  a few days ago. When asked about viewers reacting to Ned Stark's death by declaring they would never watch the show again, Weiss simply said, "It’s like when you throw the book across the room and then you run back and pick it up again." At the time, no one was sure whether the viewers of the HBO drama would run and pick the show back up again. There was a widespread response of "I'm never watching the show again," from disgruntled fans who hadn't read the book and were shocked by the sudden offing of the show's de facto lead character in the episode "Baelor." As it turns out, though, fans did run and pick it back up again... and they told a few of their friends to do the same. With its season finale, the show hit record high viewership. The initial showing of the episode attracted a stunning 3 million viewer

Pretty Little Liars Spoiler & Speculation: So...Is Ian Dead or Alive?

Image
At the end of the  Pretty Little Liars  season 2 premiere, the girls were faced with a shocking text message that indicated that Ian could actually be alive.  We all saw his body at the end of season 1, but when it disappeared shortly after we were left wondering whether he was alive or his body had been stolen. It looks like we'll be getting answers in the July 12 episode of  Pretty Little Liars .  Here's how ABC Family describes the episode: "As the shocking news about Ian makes the rounds through Rosewood, Aria, Emily, Hanna, Spencer and their families all try to cope with the outcome and some much needed closure. With her home life particularly in turmoil, Spencer stays focused on her family and the surprising support she gets from her parents. Emily, on the other hand, can’t seem to find the closure that others are relishing, but rather digs her heels in to find any shred of evidence they may have over looked. And Aria looks to find comfort in Ezra, but with their re

Radiohead Release New Song in Promotion of BBC Television Special

After releasing their eighth studio album  The King of Limbs  earlier this year, Radiohead is preparing to have a debut of the album in an entirely different sense: for television. They've done so by releasing a video of a new song, titled "Staircase." The rock quintet, whose albums  The Bends, OK Computer,  and  Kid A  have all topped critical lists for the best albums of all time, will be seen in the upcoming BBC television special  The King of Limbs: Live from the Basement ,  according to  Spinner . That's a follow-up to the show for their previous album,  In Rainbows: From the Basement , which still receives airplay on DirecTV's the 101 channel. The video, which drummer Phil Selway posted on the band's YouTube account on Tuesday, features the song "Staircase," a song from the  King of Limbs  sessions that didn't make the final cut of the album (which ran at only eight tracks). "Staircase" isn't the only song that didn't mak

Scott Foley Joins True Blood as...

Image
It's less than a week until the season 4 premiere of  True Blood , but that hasn't stopped news from popping up about  season 5 . TVLine reports  that Scott Foley has joined the cast of  True Blood  as Patrick, an old army buddy of Terry's that pays him a visit down in Bon Temps. Foley is set to first appear on the hugely successful HBO drama on the season 4 finale, with his role carrying over into the show's fifth season. (It's not been announced how long his arc will be, but the finale could be used to springboard Foley into a season-long guest spot.) Foley may be best known for his role as Noel Crane in  Felicity , but he's made well-received TV guest appearances, including roles in  Cougar Town , Grey's Anatomy , and  Scrubs . It's also not been revealed what purpose Patrick is serving in the show (is he human, what's his secret, what are his ulterior motives, etc.), but to get someone like Scott Foley, my guess is that he's going to be pret

Rebecca Mader Goes Glee in 'The Matthew Morrison Story'

Image
It seems like Rebecca Mader would be a wonderful guest star in just about anything. Earlier this month, the former  LOST  actress tweeted the executive producers of  Fringe  a photo of herself  decked out in gear from that show. Was she trying to get a role? It certainly seems that way, and a lot of  Fringe  fans acknowledged that they'd love to see her on the show. Now, it seems, Mader's going for another FOX hit: this time the musical dramedy  Glee. Well, I probably shouldn't say 'going for.' Mader actually just appeared in a pretty funny video, "The Matthew Morrison Story," which was posted on the comedy website  Funny or Die  earlier this week and is spreading through Twitter like wildfire. While the show did feature several other actor appearances, such as Chace Crawford and Jaime-Lynn Sigler, Mader was the only one beyond Morrison who sang... and she sang well. So either Mader's one of the best self-promoters in the industry when it comes to exp

LOST's Terry O'Quinn Coming to Hawaii Five-0

Image
It's a mini- LOST  reunion on  Hawaii Five-o .  The CBS show, which has been renewed for its second season, will be welcoming Terry O'Quinn back to the island for a recurring role, according to  TV Line . O'Quinn's former  LOST  castmate, Daniel Dae Kim, has starred in  Hawaii Five-o  since the premiere, but this will be the first time the two of them reunite in the same show. O’Quinn will be playing a Navy Seal Lt. Commander who trained Alex O’Loughlin’s McGarrett in Coronado.  O'Quinn's character also and served with McGarrett's father in Vietnam. The character is said to hold some clues to helping McGarrett solve the murder of his mother and father. There's no word yet exactly which episodes O'Quinn will appearing in or how many episodes. Apparently,  Hawaii Five-0  will not be making an appearance at San Diego Comic Con, despite appearing last year before its season premiere, but season 2 will premiere in the fall.
