An ET exclusive first look at the new vampire film Priest starring Paul Bettany, Cam Gigandet and Stephen Moyer.

Of all the dashing hunks in Hollywood LA Times Magazine has crowned True Blood’s very own resident vampire sheriff Alexander Skarsgard their “Millennium Man”. I have a feeling that the fanatical fans of the acclaimed series, and the uber hot Swede himself, couldn’t agree more with the new title, though if Skarsgard is a humble as the media portrays him, he may be blushing right about now… Click here to read more on my Examiner column!

Dacre Stoker, the great-grandnephew of Bram Stoker, has proven himself more than worthy to follow in his ancestor’s footsteps. His name is quickly becoming synonymous with the vampire genre. In this interview he speaks with Sean Moreland at the Ottawa International Writers Festival in October 2009 about movie adaptations of his ancestor’s classic novel Dracula, and a possible movie version of his own addition to the Dracula mythos, Dracula: the Un-Dead.

While I was in New Orleans this past October for the Endless Night and Tru Blood & Gold vampire masquerade balls, the fabulous Lady A interviewed me for the vampire culture online magazine Vampyre Lounge. The interview was an absolute delight and I was honored by their request. This video was filmed in the back courtyard at Boutique du Vampyre on Rue Orleans.

Yesterday I reported on the upcoming Brad Pitt produced new “vampire movie” entitled Vlad, which is currently slated to begin production next year. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly this week, screenwriter and star of the hit biker drama Sons of Anarchy Charlie Hunnam clarified the direction of the film, stating that the film will not be a reinvention of Dracula, but will actually focus on the true story of the actual House of Dracula’s Vlad Tepes. “As the script stands now, we don’t touch on vampirism,” he told EW. “That was my one non-negotiable area when we were developing it, and thankfully, nobody suggested that we should delve into it at the end. But you can clearly see the things that Bram Stoker took…. Vlad was such a brutal man, and the trick is to make him sympathetic.” Interesting…I’m intrigued!

The darkly devious and insanely sexy Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgård, known best for his role as the Louisiana vampire Sheriff in the hit HBO series True Blood, has graced the covers of several international magazines as of late. On top of being named one of People Magazine’s “Sexiest Men Alive” of 2010, he has also been featured this week on the cover of the December issue of the French Dark Mag, as well as Sweden’s Metro Magazine. In this months’ issue of Dark Mag, Skarsgard was interviewed at depth about his character as pertaining primarily to Season 1 since the second season only just debuted in France on December 1st.

When you’re immortal it would make sense that it would be in your best interest to make sure that the planet you’re living on will be around as long as you are. Beauty, strength and the power of seduction are all fine and dandy, but are rather worthless traits once the ozone layer is gone, it’s 135 degrees outside and all of the delectable prey you’ve been feasting on for the past few centuries have now either died or mutated into a less than savory snack. A vampire can be as vain and arrogant as they wish, but eco-minded as well… Read the rest of the article on my Examiner column!

The Wall Street Journal posted an interesting interview with the legendary Ms. Anne Rice this past weekend on her new novel Angel Time, a novel about a contract killer named Toby O’Dare who gets recruited by angels to travel back in time and help people, as well as her opinions on such popular new shows as True Blood and books as Twilight.
