Moonlight - AlloCiné : Alex O'Loughlin Interview

At the French web site, AlloCiné :



"Moonlight" : entretien avec le vampire Alex O'Loughlin !

or

"Moonlight": interview with the vampire Alex O'Loughlin!

A brief excerpt (translated with the assistance of Google Translator):

TV Series - Interviews - Sunday, September 7, 2008

It embodies the vampire love Mick St. John ... AlloCiné Series met Alex O'Loughlin, the hero of "Moonlight"!

AlloCiné Series: In episode 8, there is a sentence which seems to me essential to understanding the character and the series. Josef told Mick that it must stop hate what he is a vampire. What do you think?

Alex O'Loughlin : "Indeed, it is a capital sentence. And that echoed his primary motivation to become a private detective. As a vampire, he must feed on blood to survive. Becoming a private detective and track down criminals give him a reason to live and move away from the predator that is basically it. Fighting evil is also outside the combat evil in him, to keep distance vampire and move closer to the man he was and that he would like to be both. Mick is a humanist. He denies what is and is in constant monitoring of its true nature. He built a line of conduct strictly, with very strong moral principles. Josef is the only one who can break this because it will fully assume its nature..."

Stargate Atlantis - Video: GateWorld: Chuck Campbell Video Interview

At GateWorld:



For nearly four years the air traffic controller of the Pegasus Galaxy has been Technician Chuck, played by Canadian actor Chuck Campbell. First introduced in Season One's "The Brotherhood," the role quickly become a favorite among fans. Now with doors closing on Atlantis the series, but about to open on Atlantis DVD movies, GateWorld sat down with the actor to discuss the recent news and his opinions on the matter.

Our video interview with Campbell was recorded at Creation's Official Stargate Convention in Vancouver, where the show is filmed. In that segment, we talk about the introduction of a second technician, some of the more interesting episodes in the new season, and where Chuck would like to see his character journey before the end.

Please Note: The first page of this interview was conducted by telephone hours before its launch, and is only available in transcript form [at the link above]. The following pages are from April's video interview.

GateWorld's video interview with Chuck runs almost 10 minutes, and requires QuickTime 7.0 or higher. The interview is also available at GateWorld Play!




A brief excerpt:

GateWorld: What are you shooting today?

Chuck Campbell: Today we are shooting episode 520, which is the last episode of the ... the last episode! Yeah.

GW: It's the last episode of everything!

CC: I think they did get the green light to do a movie, which is good.

GW: Definitely. But this is the end of an era for you guys. How's the atmosphere on set? Is it somber?

CC: It's half and half, David. I think the somberness is partially due to a lot of people just [not knowing] what's going to be next for them, which is part of this industry. That comes with it. Then it's also five years of working with the same people, which you become kind of tight like any job would be if you were there for five years. They know in less than a month that they'll be saying goodbye.

The way it usually works with this industry is you go where the work is, so chances are all of us being together once again, unfortunately, is slim. But that is the industry. It was enough time to make some good friendships. It's always sad when you've got to say goodbye to that.

Richard Dean Anderson - Beyond Betrayal Repeated Sept 10 & 11th '08

Richard Dean Anderson's made-for-tv movie from '94, 'Beyond Betrayal' is repeated September 10 at 10pm and September 11th at 2pm on LMN - the Lifetime MOVIE Network.

Beyond Betrayal - LMN - Wednesday, September 10 at 10pm -- Thursday, September 11 at 2pm



Please be sure to confirm the times with your local listings -- 'Beyond Betrayal,' starring Richard Dean Anderson and Susan Dey.

Richard stars as a sociopathic cop searching for the estranged wife he has abused, played by Susan Dey. Although she has gone into hiding, she is unable to escape the threat he poses, both to her, and to the new man in her life.

This is one of Mr. Anderson's few "dark roles" -- and he provides a chilling performance, as his character, Bradley Matthews, journeys further away from redemption.



Filmed in Vancouver, BC, Canada, there are some other familiar faces from Stargate SG-1 in the cast, including: Tamsin Kelsey (Thor's Hammer and Thor's Chariot), Jerry Wasserman (Touchstone and Inauguration) and Robin Mossley (Window of Opportunity and Morpheus).

Stargate Atlantis - Alex Levine's Blog Update Sept. 7 '08 - 'The Queen'

At SciFi.com's Alex Levine's Stargate Atlantis blog update for September 7, 2008:

(Please follow the link for the complete blog update.)



Apollonia Vanova as Wraith Queen

A Story Resurrected (the Queen)

...One cool thing about “The Queen” I really liked was that we hired a new actress to play another Wraith queen. The actress, Apollonia Vanova, did a great job, and the prosthetic make-up produced by Todd Masters and his people was especially cool. The prosthetics team works by using the actor’s own face structure, so each Wraith looks as individualistic as we humans do. Obviously way more difficult and intricate than a simple Halloween mask, as I’m sure you’ve noticed. And Apollonia’s facial features are very different than, say, Andee Frizzell, who has played a Wraith queen on our show numerous times, so she becomes a very different Wraith queen. In fact, another Wraith queen in this episode also looks very different and individualistic (hint!)...

Enjoy!
