wow it really has been over a year? that means they started dating right away then?

sanna_o75 · 11-23-2008, 02:49 PM

Yeah, I think I read that Alan Ball suggsted they would go out and get to know each other. They did and things happened, I guess

So they started dating during when they shot the pilot

It's a good thing they did go out. These two share such magnificent chemistry

But a few nights ago, while waiting for my girl to get dressed, another friend forced me to watch it. I was entranced. It was funny, the suspense scenes were done well and it's so entertaining overall. Stephen Moyer and Anna Paquin's chemistry is great. And I also love Anna's borderline dimwittedness if that is a word, and she can read minds...you can't get cooler...

Thanks for that

ST: Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer are absolutely perfect in their roles when seen on-screen, but wouldn't have seemed like the most obvious choices for the characters. Were you involved in writing for the show prior to their casting? Have their performances changed your perceptions of the characters at all?

RT: I was hired after the pilot had been cast. I was particularly thrilled about Anna — her casting was an early indication that TV Sookie wasn’t going to be a ditsy Jessica Simpson-esque Southern Belle Barbie doll, with telepathic abilities squeezed into a waitress uniform — which would have been every fan of the books' worst nightmare. Anna radiates both an intelligence and a melancholy that grounds Sookie — makes her believable as someone who has lived her entire life with something akin to a disability.

Anna’s Sookie is beautiful but accessible, innocent without being naïve, strong but adorably girly. Once I saw her on screen I couldn’t imagine anyone else in the role.

And like many of the fans of the books, Vampire Bill was never my favorite character on the page. But when I saw Stephen Moyer at the first table read for the pilot, all of that changed. His stillness, his subtlety, that strange coldness in his eyes ... I was almost a little scared of him, until he put down his script, cracked a joke in this full-on British accent and smiled. That man is so ridiculously charming he could have chemistry with a brick wall ... but he and Anna together — that kind of magic is something extremely rare and impossible to fake.

Aww

Thanks for posting that interview. I like that Raelle, even as a writer sees their chemistry as magic

It was supposed to be December 4th but it was announced a couple of weeks ago that the Panel was being postponed to sometime in 2009.
