Many of you have been asking about the music being used in the Vampire Diaries trailers, so we’ve made an effort to try and find out. We’ve added the following tracks to our brand new music page (which can be found in the ‘TV Series’ section), and will add more there as we find them.
- Band of Horses – No One’s Gonna Love You
[official site] [lyrics] [video] - The New Addiction – Salvation
[official site] [lyrics] [video] [listen on last.fm]
Now we’re throwing this open to all our readers. If you can identify any of the music in the trailers – particularly the extended trailer – we would really appreciate your help. You can tell us in the comments of this post, or let us know via our contact form.
Many thanks to A_Lyssa_B and fadeintolex for their help already!

The folks over at Vampire Diaries BR have provided a Portuguese subtitled version of the extended Vampire Diaries trailer. Our readers from Portugal, Brazil and other Portuguese-speaking areas will have to let us know how well it translates. Enjoy, guys!
If anyone knows of subtitled Vampire Diaries trailers for other languages, please point them out to us so we can spread the word.

Man, we wish this trailer had been released a week ago. Context makes all the difference. Not to knock the footage we’ve seen so far, but this trailer is about a million times better in every way. We have tons of new footage and alternate (and, in our opinion, superior) takes of scenes we have seen. We’re also ridiculously pleased to have some answers to questions floating since the pilot’s filming.
Anyway, as promised (and because it’s what we do), we’re going to touch on spoilery stuff beneath the cut so if you don’t want to know anything, or have yet to read the books, we recommend saving the surprises.
SOMETHING SPOILERY THIS WAY COMES

Thanks to the folks over at SpoilerTV and the CW, you can now view an extended trailer (five whole minutes worth) of the Vampire Diaries TV series that was shown at the CW upfront. It contains a lot of footage that hasn’t been seen in the previous trailers, and Vee and I will no doubt give you some more in-depth observations about the footage later on.
We would like to say that we’re impressed with what we’ve seen here, especially with regards to Paul Wesley. Speaking as hardcore book fans, he may not be who we would have picked as Stefan, but his performance is something that leads us to believe that the guy can pull it off. Hopefully after seeing this, others of you might be willing to give him a chance, too.

Thanks in large part to the lovely Sucker for Vampires – who’s been translating a lot of our major news since early April (Olá!) – we receive a lot of hits from Brazil, so we’re pleased to point out that DARKSIDEsubs has added Portuguese subtitles to The Vampire Diaries three-scene teaser trailer and promo trailer. (SfV will have to let us know if the subtitles are any good, but here’s hoping!)
And it looks like The Vampire Diaries is plowing headfirst into pre-production with a (new?) production designer and writing officially begins (glance at clock) today. Really great to hear Marcos Siega will still be involved in the project.
Here’s the big one – we finally know for certain what the deal is with Fell’s Church vs. Mystic Falls, straight from Julie Plec:
Fell’s Church not clearable, like some of the characters’ names. Everything needs to be legally cleared.
Translation: It wasn’t an arbitrary change. They can’t use Fell’s Church.
So that answers that. At least we have Salvatore.

Here’s another Vampire Diaries trailer for you, with more new scenes to whet your appetites, including a better shot of the vampire effects (and it looks like we have fangs on the canine teeth, for those of us who were wondering).
Update: Got a screencap of the fangs, and we do indeed have canines! Also, there’s a pretty title card at the end of the trailer.
Update 2: Thanks to Jen over at Nina-Dobrev.info for the heads up. There’s another short trailer up on the CW’s TVD Facebook, which has yet another title card. Methinks they may be experimenting.
Update 3: If you’re wondering what song is playing during the party scene, it’s “No One’s Gonna Love You” by Band of Horses.
