September 10: The Vampire Diaries TV Show on the CW at 8 Pacific and Eastern, 7 Central!

May I make a plea for everybody to try to be patient (especially with the pilot episode)? The Twilight Zone feeling rapidly diminishes after that. Ian Somerhalder is being recognized as a superior villain; and I feel sure that under those brown curls Elena’s scheming mind is simply waiting for an opportunity to emerge. Really, guys, the series people have been nice to me lately and I get to hear about (and I hope get, to give to you) freebie things like posters and “sunscream” and “Fang” dental floss, all part–along with a blood drive (“Starve a Vampire: Donate Blood!) in New York. Even Brazil is all het up about the books and the show. I’ve waited this long to speak out, and my verdict is: give it a chance.

This is pretty exciting!  Robert Bianco of USA Today has selected The Vampire Diaries to be included in his Top 10 New Fall Shows!

9. The Vampire Diaries
CW, Thursdays, 8 ET/PT, Sept. 10

Think of it as One Tree Hillwith sharper teeth.

Chances are, your first inclination is to think of Vampire Diaries as a rip-off of True Blood and Twilight — even though the book it’s based on predates both. But beneath the gothic trappings, Vampire (produced by Dawson’s Creek’s Kevin Williamson) is just CW doing what it does: building a teen soap around the complicated lives of impossibly pretty, alarmingly worldly young people who manage to seem prosperous even with no visible means of support.

Adults are likely to steer clear, but the show isn’t made for them. It’s made for young women and girls who have a current affection for vampires and a long-standing affection for the good boy/bad boy dynamic. That should be enough to draw them in.

And that’s the only ratings hill CW has any interest in climbing.

To all the people who keep email me wanting to be an extra in The Vampire Diaries…well, here ya go!

Covington’s newest TV show, “Vampire Diaries” is having an open casting call for paid, non-speaking extras on Sunday, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Holiday Inn Express at 9159 Access Road.

Interested parties don’t need to have any experience but should bring a recent photo of themselves, no larger than 4 inches by 6 inches. Applicants will be required to fill out a form with contact and other general information; they will also receive a document describing all of the details of being an extra, Extras Casting Director Marti Cherrix said.

Extras will be paid $7.25 per hour plus overtime for any hour worked over eight in a single day.

Even though the show is based on high-school characters, Cherrix said she is looking for all types of people and all age ranges, because the show will have many general scenes which require all types of people, like restaurants and shopping centers.
“We want all range of types and ages, because extras are there to create background. I provide the textures and balances,

like painting a picture on film; I’m there to provide a realistic scene,” Cherrix said. “Certainly if we’re shooting a high school scene, you’re going to have younger people, but you’re also going to be some teachers and principals. In a restaurant, there may be parents and some grandparents. We try to portray an everyday slice of America, what people really look, try to keep it in the real world, not just the reel world.”
