As we anxiously await armageddon — aka the season premiere of SUPERNATURAL, airing at 9 p.m. E.T. on Thursday, September 10th — we thought this might be the perfect time to look back on the horror flicks Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki (aka those winsome Winchester boys) released earlier this year and decide whose manager deserves a raise… and whose should be demon bait!
Let’s say right up front that we thought it was an odd choice for both of the guys to make films in the horror genre during their respective breaks. Yes, sticking to what you know — not to mention what made you famous — is a no-brainer, but let’s not forget that it’s also the path that led Sarah Michelle Gellar to such crapfests as The Return and
flicks. Trust us, guys: Next time, stretch your wings a little. Trust that your fans will follow.
In any case, both guys made not only horror flicks, but remakes of classic ones — Friday the 13th for Jared, My Bloody Valentine for Jensen — at that. And yes, some of us who grew up on the originals think of the original Valentine — shot on a shoestring budget back in 1981 — a classic. But the similarities between the projects they picked pretty much ends there.
In response to last night’s episode of SUPERNATURAL, showrunner Eric Kripke wanted to pass along this message to the show’s fans:
“So I’ve never before responded directly to the fandom’s comments about an episode, and I don’t plan to make a habit of it, but I couldn’t resist dropping in a thought about the episode “Yellow Fever.”
Remember that little Thursday night show on the CW? No, not the one about Superman; that other one. The show about two Abercrombie Models brothers who crisscross the country hunting demons. Well, it’s back.
Airing Thursday January 31 at 9PM, SUPERNATURAL returns. And in an effort to remind you, our friends at Warner Bros. were kind enough to pass along two exclusive new preview clips. Enjoy, and don’t miss the SUPERNATURAL fun. Or at the very least, do what the TV Addict’s doing. Set your PVR to record while watching LOST!
For the simple reason that SUPERNATURAL fans are crazy dedicated (in a good way), here’s a pic of Jared Padalecki from last night’s TEEN CHOICE AWARDS on Fox. More pics to come, check back throughout the day.
When you’re walking onto the set of the CW’s spookfest SUPERNATURAL, you can’t help but have the Boy Scout motto – Be prepared! – ringing in your ears. Yet, as I slipped into my role as a seasoned television reporter and stepped onto the soundstage to watch the filming of an actual scene between stars Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, I’d have to admit that my “play it cool” veneer probably did a pretty poor job of hiding the excitement radiating from just about every pore of my being.
There they sat at an ordinary kitchen table, Sam and Dean (Padalecki and Ackles, respectively) discussing recent events. While I’m not at liberty to reveal the topic of their conversation, suffice it to say that tempers were flaring. As voices raised, so to did emotions. Dean was, of course, in protective mode, while Sam did what he does best: bristled.
And then things took a most unexpected turn.
Sam and Dean gazed lovingly – dare I say longingly? – into one anothers eyes. Standing, Dean moved closer to Sam, raising his arm and reaching out as if to touch him softly, when suddenly…
While the yellow-eyed demon side of me thinks it’s far too enjoyable receiving endless amounts of guesses, I’m far too honest a person not to keep my promise. After the jump, the photo is revealed in all its glory… um, I mean gory detail. [Note: spoilerphobes may wish to avoid viewing the photo.]
Up here in TV addict country, or more specifically Toronto Canada — it’s cold, rainy and miserable on what’s supposed to be a beautiful Wednesday in April. Quite frankly this TV Addict could use a bit of a pic-me-up! And you know what makes a TV Addict happier than Hurley at an all-you-can-eat buffet? Comments left on theTVaddict.com.
Here’s where you come in, introducing the first ever SUPERNATURAL Challenge. Below is a blurred photo that was taken last week on the TV Addict’s SUPERNATURAL set visit. Simply post a comment guessing who you think is in the photo. If the number of guesses reaches one hundred, the TV addict will happily post the original photo for all to enjoy.
Looking for a clue as to who’s in the photo? Here’s your first clue… he or she isn’t a demon! (Check back later for more clues).
Walking through the halls of the SUPERNATURAL offices, it’s clear how the cast and creative team value the fans. Here’s an example of some fan artwork that was blown up and framed
SUPERNATURAL fans will no doubt remember which episode this prop is from!
Spooky motel rooms, one really large graveyard and the kind of billowing smoke that one would expect a yellow-eyed demon to emerge from. Is it any wonder I can’t sleep?
It’s 5:30am in beautiful downtown Vancouver British Columbia and I’m wide awake after having spent the entire day on the set of The CW’s SUPERNATURAL. Perhaps not surprisingly, the place is a little weird, a whole lot creepy… and did I mention the graveyard?
Truth be told, the SUPERNATURAL set was everything a hunter (or obsessed fan of the series) could hope for… and more. Like any intrepid explorer, I approached each new turn with a mixture of excitement and dred, camera in hand so as to capture every moment. Each prop was scrutinized, the mountain of fan mail (each of which is read, and hundreds of which are mounted on a huge wall) catalogued. And I figured that while I was there, I might as well capture an image or two of those two demon-hunting guys everyone seems to love.
