Just So You Know visited the set of The Vampire Diaries back in November and has posted a brief behind the scenes video of their experience. See Michael Trevino’s bizarre effect on lights, Zach Roerig’s amusement at loud noises, Nina Dobrev’s dedication to the cause of chocolate, and other peeks at on-set goings-on and promotional photo shoots. You can also check out photos during the filming of tomorrow night’s episode Unpleasantville, featuring Nina and Candice Accola.
Lots of new interviews to share today (thanks to everyone who bombarded us with links!)…
SciFind talks to Nina Dobrev about Elena, the vibe on the set, her own (recent!) paranormal experience, and the choice between Stefan or Damon:
I don’t know because if I were in [Elena's] position I would be torn too. I think separately they are very different; Stefan is the romantic, determined, very committed man who is so deeply in love with her and would do anything to protect her. Damon is very playful and fun and open and that’s what Stefan lacks, he doesn’t have this openness, he keeps secrets and doesn’t tell her everything so basically together, they make the perfect man. At the beginning of the series, it’s just Stefan all the time, but it might not always be that way.
The gossip blogs’ tongues are wagging over the prospect of Nina Dobrev and Leighton Meester of Gossip Girl guest starring on each other’s shows. Considering Bob Levy is executive producer on both shows, it’s not entirely out of the question, but we find it funny that the articles mention that Leighton and Nina met on the set of The Roommate when it’s Katerina Graham who co-stars with Ms. Meester in the film? And speaking of Nina, thanks to Nina Dobrev Fan for this peek at Nina’s recent shoot in ZINK! magazine (via I Heart Vampire Diaries). And check out this behind the scenes video of her SELF magazine photo shoot.
Paul Wesley reveals details of his first kiss over at Seventeen (via JSYK) and his worst audition experience in the new issue of VMan (courtesy of JustJared).
“Once I finished a read, looked at the director, and said, ‘That didn’t go very well, did it?’ He gave me a stern look, crossed his arms, and said, “No, it didn’t.’ I was devastated.”
PopStar talks with Ian Somerhalder about Damon, Katherine, and the popularity of vampires. Here’s what he had to say about the show’s success:
You always hope that what you do will do well. That’s why you do something, in the hope that it’ll take off, that you’ll enjoy yourself and that people will enjoy it with you. We never really had many expectations, which I think is the best way to protect yourself. I remember that (producer) Julie Plec made a joke one time. It was after we’d premiered and we were doing quite well. She said that we didn’t really have any expectations, but secretly, we wanted to take over the world. That was pretty funny because you want your show to succeed, you want it to be good, and luckily we have writing that is superb and everything — the acting, the way it’s shot, the way it’s directed — works. As long as we can keep making it work, I don’t think anybody can snicker anymore.
And he talks Stefan and Damon’s relationship, fan letters (some from prison), and shooting in haunted locations over at TV Choice Magazine:
We shot in a plantation in Georgia where 150 slaves were mass murdered after the Emancipation Proclamation. The slaves were supposed to be freed and this one plantation owner said no. It was haunted. I am the most cynical person, I don’t believe in anything supernatural, but that place had some energy. It’s in the top 10 most haunted places in the United States. It’s written up all over the place.
And he has this to say over at SciFind:
What has been your highlight of the series so far?
“There are so many of them. There’s a highlight around every corner, there’s something new and interesting and fun and amazing. Just being on the show in general is a highlight.”
And thanks to VDO for the heads up on this amusing video interview with Ian over at People.com. Who do you think would win a fight between Damon and Edward Cullen? (The answer seems pretty obvious to us.)
We have some hi-res versions of Ian’s recent Vampire Diaries promo pics (as always, click to see bigger versions in the Gallery):
And, last, but certainly not least, Zach Roerig has a feature in the new issue of Savvy Magazine. Have some scans? Please get in touch!
