Finally! Was wondering when this would show up. From EW’s Comic Con 2009 Portrait Gallery, photographed by Michael Muller.

Now that filming for the Vampire Diaries is underway in Covington, Georgia, a lot of fans are heading down there to watch it as it happens. By all accounts we’ve seen so far the cast and crew are a really laid back, friendly and genuinely nice to the fans who turn up. Ella (who provided us with the earlier photo of the Mystic Grill) headed over there recently to meet the cast and get some behind-the-scenes pictures of filming taking place, and has been kind enough to share them with us. We’re only highlighting a few here (click on the thumbnails for the larger images), but Ella has a whole bunch more that you can see in her Photobucket account.


Paul Wesley seems to be somewhat elusive in these pictures at the moment (he’s a mysterious blur above). Looks like he’s taking Stefan’s sneaking abilities very seriously. ;) If you’d like to use Ella’s pictures, please don’t just take them – you should contact her for permission.
If that’s not enough for you, you can also check out DefineDelicate’s photo video of her visit to the set, and read all about another fan’s recent set experience.

There have been a few new Vampire Diaries pictures cropping up over the past 24 hours, so we thought we’d make a post for them in addition to our general Comic Con link spam post. The highlight is one of the photos Greystone Mansion shoot with Stefan (Paul Wesley), Elena (Nina Dobrev) and Damon (Ian Somerhalder), all of them looking gorgeous.

Many thanks to Ella for sending us this external shot of the Mystic Grill (which is the local hangout for the residents of Mystic Falls in the Vampire Diaries TV series). It’s looking pretty swish and sophisticated from the outside, certainly the kind of place you could buy a decent doughnut from. ;)

If you’ve got pictures you’d like to share, we’d love to hear from you.

If you’ve been to the Con, you’ve seen these bags – you can fit two or three fangirls in them. From the WB press release:
Created annually since 2006 by the Warner Bros. Worldwide Television Marketing unit specifically for Comic-Con, the bags are distributed – on a first-come, first-served basis – exclusively at the Studio’s two-story nearly 3,000-square foot booth (#4329) on the convention floor. More than 50,000 total bags will be circulated by the Studio throughout the five days of Comic-Con, including Preview Night.
The combo TV bag revealed today boasts “Human Target” stars Mark Valley (“Fringe”), Chi McBride (“Pushing Daisies”) and Jackie Earle Haley (“Watchmen,” “A Nightmare on Elm Street”) on one side, with “The Vampire Diaries” stars Nina Dobrev (“Degrassi: The Next Generation”), Paul Wesley (“Killer Movie) and Ian Somerhalder (“Lost”) in silhouette around a bloody heart on the other. “Love Sucks” indeed.
(Click on the image for the hi-res version.)

Warner Bros. is not playing around. These bags will be EVERYWHERE. Very nice.

We tweeted this earlier today, but if you’re not on Twitter and somehow missed it (been spreading like wildfire): @LilMissX posted a behind-the-scenes shot of Ian, Nina, and Paul from the Greystone Mansion photoshoot. (It is not, as has been inexplicably popping up elsewhere, a set photo.) As we mentioned before, the photographer is Andrew Eccles.
Check out the photo. Looks like the final spread is going to be quite atmospheric and lovely.
(Why are we not posting it here? Reposting photos from Twitter is a gray area. We don’t repost production photos from Marcos Siega’s Twitter account at his and the studio’s request and it’s just become our de facto rule of thumb. Hope that clears things up.)

Entertainment Weekly‘s second annual Comic Con special issue will have a Vampire Diaries exclusive. Should be hitting newstands this week, so keep an eye out in stores and on their site. (Could this be what the Greystone Mansion shoot was for? Guess we’ll find out.) UPDATE: It’s not. And the “exclusive” is rather underwhelming.
UPDATE: New issue of EW out Friday, featuring Iron Man 2 on the cover.
And here’s a cool behind-the-scenes peek at a photoshoot Nina Dobrev participated in yesterday with photographer Ture Lillegraven for Entertainment Weekly’s upcoming Fall TV issue. The post is by a student of EW’s photo editor, so no news here but quite a few shots of Nina (in some killer shoes, I might add).
Also, Vampire Diaries casting calls (featured extras, stand-ins) are starting to pop up on Atlanta actors’ blogs, so those of you who have been emailing – solid info is out there online now. Good luck!

Hairstylist Louise Moon has posted a few snapshots (Nina, Ian, and herself) from the Greystone Mansion during yesterday’s cast photo shoot.
Yesterday I did more press for a show called Vampire Diaries. We worked at Greystone Manor and it was the first time I actually was able to see the inside of the place. Not too bad… Anyways, these kids were really great. They are like a little family already. It is so nice to see.
Read the post and see the photos.
