Stephen arrived in Puerto Rico last Friday and immediately began camera, wardrobe and makeup tests, along with studying the script in preparation for filming the movie, “The Caller”. Sources of El Nuevo Dia reported that the artist is a charmer and nice, despite his increased popularity. Moyer will play John Guidi in the thriller, the main support and new love interest for Mary Kee, the protagonist.
Rachelle Lefevre and Stephen Moyer arrive in Puerto Rico
Rachelle Lefevre, who plays the diabolical Vampireza “Victoria” in the Twilight saga, is starring with Moyer as Mary Kee. Ms. Lefevre’s stay in Puerto Rico coincides with the opening of the second installment of the Twilight series, “New Moon” which opened in the US last weekend. According to Primera Hora, Lefevre has replaced the actress Brittany Murphy, who was originally cast in the part, but declined the role.
Last Thursday, the cast of the film and the technical team met in a hotel to refine the start of filming. That day also had the first reading of the script, directed by Matthew Parkhill. The next day, they officially started filming in San Juan and the filming will continue for the next four weeks in different parts of the metropolitan area.
The story of the film revolves around Mary Kee, who just ended her relationship with her husband Steven (played by Ed Quinn, also of “True Blood”). She plans to start a new life by moving into a newly decorated apartment, but soon learns that in a closet of this apartment is an old telephone that will serve as a vehicle for a woman to communicate with her from the past. As the story unfolds she learns that to survive she will have to put an end to the woman caller.
Luis Guzmán and Lorna Raver are the other main characters. Additionally, a group of Puerto Rican actors also form part of the team. They are Alfredo de Quesada, Gladys Rodriguez, (playing Concheta, the mother of John Guidi), Cordelia Gonzalez (in the role of a judge), Grace Connelly and Aris Mejías. In the next few days it is expected that more actors will be added to the cast.
“The Caller” is directed by Matthew Parkhill.

This is a little thrill, Stephen’s looking great. I hope some more pictures will leak out, like they have of “The Romantics”. I didn’t see any pcitures from Stephen’s other hiatus projects. Glad to hear he’s a love interest and not the dreaded ex-husband. New leading lady sure has purdy hair.

I hope he’s not harassed too much, and can get to enjoy the beauty of the island.

Thank you, Shad. Great to see the pictures and read details about the film. Stephen looks wonderful. I’m delighted that he’s playing the love interest. Of course, any role he had would be fine with me. I just want to see him on screen. Rachelle is a lovely lady. I’m getting excited about this one.

Thanks for the pics and the additional details on the movie, Shad!

Interesting coincidence. Rachelle Lefevre plays the evil vampire Victoria in “New Moon.” And of course Stephen is our wonderful Vampire Bill in “True blood.” Can’t get away from that vampire connection.

Thanks for pics! He is as sexy as ever. I have a co-worker traveling to our new plant in PR. It’s a long shot, but I e-mailed him if he happens to run into Stephen would he please get me a photo and/or autograph. Unfortunately he won’t steal me away in his suitcase or take me as his assistant for the week. :-(
Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Thank you for the photos, Shad. He is carrying his camera bag so as to add to his photo diary!

He’s going to be great in this movie. I’m so pleased to see him doing all these movies. Per the makers of his movie “Restraint”, he’s a real pleasure to work with, he’s always extremely prepared and can do his scenes in minimal takes and often in just one take. Actors like that are usually in high demand because they always bring it, big time, and they’re fast and easy to work with.
And in this economic environment, Steve’s efficiency is a sure-thing investment for movie producers. I expect Stephen to continue making movies even while filming Season 3, just fitting in roles as he can. More power to him, too.

You Know I thought that Ms.Lafevre was foolish to walk away from New Moon~~After All How often does 1 get to act in a highly successful film franchise like the Twilight Saga?~~~
Now, That I see that she left the Twilight set to star in a film with Stephen Moyer~~Vampire Bill of True Blood~~ I Say You Go Girl!!
As popular as the TL films may be…To work in a film opposite SM A Very Hot commodity right now, Would be highly desirable!! I cannot wait to see some of these films even though several may not be out for a year or so! I’m glad for both of them! Congrats!!

I’ve been out of the loop for awhile, so I’m reading this for the first time today. This actress reminds me somewhat of Jessica from TB. She’s very pretty. Poor SM looks exhausted on arrivel. He certainly is a busy guy these days, which is wonderful for his fans, but I hope he gets some R&R.
I have a disquieting feeling we won’t be seeing as much of him in season 3 of TB, at least not in the beginning. He just seems too busy to be ready for shooting in Dec. Maybe I’m wrong (I hope).
