It seems that winter 'tis the season for our favorite vampires to emerge. These might be in a returning series, revamped roles -- or roles we're not used to seeing them in at all.
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 released last week (though, in my opinion, Summit f---ed up by screwing around and changing directors every movie).
However, there's much, much more to satiate your hunger for vamps and former vampire show/movie stars between now and January.
In EW this week, I saw that Kirsten Dunst (Interview with the Vampire) was given props for being in a great movie that was released on iTunes and Amazon this week -- the same time it was hitting theaters. The premise surounds Dunst's wedding day, which also happens to be the day the earth will collide with a rogue planet. The person who didn't get props was Alexander Skarsgård (True Blood), who plays Dunst's groom.
Also, on the TV front, American Dad! featured an episode called Virtual In-Stanity, and it's suggested that Sarah Michelle Gellar and Alyson Hannigan are competing for Steve's V-card. EW published a still that suggested the former Buffy stars were playing their old characters . . . Well, their characters before Hannigan became a lesbian.
The two things I'm most excited about, however, are Vampire Diaries and the new Underworld. As much as I love vampires, and books, I hated reading the Vampire Diaries. It was juvenile and torturous and boring. But the sexual tension / will-they-or-won't-they? between real-life couple Nina Dobrev (Elena) and Ian Somerhalder (Damon) is getting pretty damn hot. If this continues to be a 22-episode season, the other 13 episodes should start on Thursday, January 5, 2012 on the CW at 8pm EST. (What's with the split seasons on these shows?)
Number one on my list is to see the new Underworld film, Underworld: Awakening. The premise seems to be that Selene was held captive by humans for 12 years -- humans also hunting vampires, lycans and hybrids (which suggests more were made after Michael). Sadly, there's no Scott Speedman, but according to an interview with Collider.com, "While Scott Speedman isn’t back for this film, his character plays a role in Awakening, and the idea is that Speedman would return for Underworld 5."
Here's the official preview:
