The Vault – TrueBlood-Online.com

We are happy to announce that EJ Scott, the boyfriend of True Blood actress Deborah Ann Woll, has reached his goal to lose weight and raise funds for the Choroideremia Research Foundation (CRF) at the same time.

EJ Scott and Deborah Ann Woll

Most of you will know by now that EJ and several of his family members suffer from this hereditary disease that slowly but surely takes away the vision until total blindness.

True Blood fans have been wonderful supporting the fundraisers for the CRF on several fansites. Earlier this year we were able to raise $2750 on The Vault with an online raffle giving away signed True Blood collectors items.

Last year EJ started his own fundraiser to benefit the CRF. His plan was to get slim and trim and be sponsored for every pound of weight that he lost. Now eight months later he has lost 70.4 lbs and looks better and healthier than ever. Sponsors pledged to donate a total of 200/lb which totals over $ 14,000 to benefit the CRF.  Some donated immediately others waited to see if EJ would reach his goal. So if you pledged to donate, but haven’t yet… now is the time. If this is the first time you are hearing about this fundraiser…. it’s not to late to join in and participate.

You can use the below PayPal button, provided by the Choroideremia Research Foundation, to make your donation online. Or visit their website for more donation options. Donations are tax deductible for US citizens.

EJ is taking his new healthy lifestyle very seriously and has started training for the Chicago marathon. The first the half marathon is on August 1st and on October 12th the full runn of 42.195 kilometers (26 miles and 385 yards).  Running this distance itself is an enormous challenge, but because of his sensitivity to light EJ will have to run blindfolded with the aid of a guide who will run beside him.

You can support EJ by becoming a fan of his Marathon Facebook page and donating to the CRF. Every penny helps and no amount is too small!

Here’s a glimpse at Stephen’s new film Priest as we see him on set with Paul Bettany and Cam Gigandet.

This first look at Scott Stewart’s Priest aired during the Canadian version of Entertainment Tonight last Friday.

Official Plot Synopsis: Priest is set in a world ravaged by centuries of war between man and vampires. Paul Bettany is Priest, a legendary warrior priest during the last Vampire War, who now lives in obscurity among the other human inhabitants in walled-in dystopian cities controlled by the Church. But when his 18-year-old niece is abducted by a murderous pack of vampires in the desolate wastelands outside, Priest breaks his sacred vows and ventures out to find her and seek vengeance upon those responsible, especially their brutal leader (Karl Urban). Priest is joined on his crusade by his niece’s boyfriend, Hicks (Cam Gigandet), a local outpost sheriff, and Priestess (Maggie Q), a member of his former legion of vampire-killers who has otherworldly fighting skills.

As reported on Skarsgardnews.com the premiere of 13 has been cancelled.

The world premiere of Gela Babluani’s “13″, starring Alexander Skarsgård, was supposed to have it’s world premiere at the SXSW film festival in Austen, Texas as part of the SX Fantastic midnight section of the program. So, for those who had plans to attend the Premiere or are just curious about the cancellation, they have confirmed that it was pulled because of editing. The filmmaker had a new cut.

This film is a remake of the foreign film “13 Txameti” which came out in 2005. The story is of a naive young man who assumes a dead man’s identity and finds himself embroiled in an underground world of power, violence, and chance where men gamble behind closed doors on the lives of other men. Alexander Skarsgård plays the part of Jack in the film. Other cast members include Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Ray Winstone, Natasha Lyonne, and 50 Cent.

Carrie Preston,  True Blood’s Arlene Fowler, the waitress who works along side of Sookie at Merlotte’s Bar, may become a wife again.

Below is what the Ausiellofiles has to say about her new part in CBS’ The Good Wife:

I hope this doesn’t mean what I think it means.

Sources confirm to me exclusively that Carrie Preston — a.k.a. True Blood’s Arlene — is heading to CBS’ The Good Wife for a multi-episode arc. She’ll play Elsbeth Mann (not a typo), a member of Peter’s (Chris Noth) legal team.

The timing of Preston’s casting is sure to raise questions about the fate of her True Blood character, particularly since the HBO smash is in the midst of shooting its third season in Los Angeles. The Good Wife, meanwhile, is based in New York.

Although an HBO rep declined to comment, a TB insider cautions against declaring the vamp-hating serial bride dead and buried. “Arlene isn’t a major presence in the third book,” notes the source. “A lot of the action takes place outside of Bon Temps, so [Carrie] probably had some free time on her hands.”

I like that theory better. Besides, Alan Ball wouldn’t dare kill off Merlotte’s only dependable waitress. In other True news, did you hear? Season 3 premieres Sunday, June 13! Viewing party at my someone else’s place!

SPOILER ALERT!

You may remember that when we encountered Stephen Moyer last week that he said: “You won’t fucking believe what they are doing to my character this season” and it looks like he wasn’t kidding since it appears as if there are lots of surprises coming our way for Bill and all the characters.

In the most recent UK’s SciFi Now magazine, which features a guide to all the episodes in season 2 of True Blood, with comments by Alan Ball, Alan has a little bit to say about season 3, as follows:

“Going into season two our goal was to make Eric a bad ass. Our goal in season three is to make Bill a bad ass.  He’s been kidnapped and he’s going to be in a position where he’s not free to leave for a while. We’re exploring a darker side of Bill in season three. And his relationship with Sookie, the love they have is very solid, however it’s going to be really tested to the extreme in season three and I’m not going to say whether it survives or not.  Also, in S3, he says, “Eric has lost the person or being who is most meaningful to him, as has Tara and everyone is wrestling with identity, who they are, who they’ve been and who they want to be.”

Thanks to Natalie in the UK for the scans!

The Romantics (starring Katie Holmes and True Blood’s Anna Paquin) is in the last stages of post production and the worldwide premiere of the finished film will be at the Cannes Film Festival.

“The Romantics”, written and directed by Galt Niederhoffer, takes place over the course of one night at a deluxe seaside wedding. Seven close friends—all members of a tight, eclectic college clique—reconvene at a seaside wedding to watch two of their own tie the knot. Lila (Anna Paquin) is the golden girl preparing for her dream wedding, and Laura (Katie Holmes) is Lila’s maid of honor. Once college roommates, Laura and Lila have been best friends since their first meeting on campus, but Lila’s groom, Tom (Josh Duhamel), is the man they have long rivaled over. Promiscuity and hi-jinks abound as the drunken friends frolic in the nearby surf and revel in the nostalgic haze of their glory days.

Here’s the trailer for the film.
