Sophia Myles talks about her film, Outlander

FEARnet spoke to Sophia Myles about her role in the film Outlander during their visit to Moonlight's set. No release date yet. The movie sites just say it's expected to premiere sometime in 2008. Thanks to Jenn from FEARnet for passing on the interview :)

Sophia Myles on Life After 'Moonlight'!

British uber-hottie Sophia Myles' cult favorite vampire show Moonlight may have been axed by CBS, but the fetching blonde's not hurting for work. In fact, she's already awaiting the release of her next genre project--Outlander. A viking/alien-invasion thriller (yes, you read that correctly).

Here's how she decribed the film when we spoke with her on the set of Moonlight last month: "It’s set in 709 A.D., and I play a Viking warrior princess in a small Viking village. Right at the beginning of the story an alien ship crash-lands onto planet Earth, and on board is Jim Caviezel from Passion of the Christ and this terrifying Moorwen--it looks like a dragon/bull. And he’s brought that with him from a galaxy far, far away to planet Earth. It’s kind of an epic-adventure, where we try and slay the beast. I haven’t seen that mixture of period and science fiction before, so it was interesting to me."

Myles of course is no stranger to screen fantasy, having starred in not only Moonlight, but the Underworld films and the BBC's Dracula mini-series (she also played the title role in the Hugo Award-winning 'Girl in the Fireplace' episode of the BBC's new Doctor Who). Since she's worked in both horror and science fiction, we asked Myles what she prefers.

"I would say I’d pick sci-fi over vamps," she laughed. "There’s got to be other forms of life out here. I think it’d be incredibly self-centered to think that us on planet Earth are the most powerful, the only thing out there. So yeah, that fascinates me."

Alex O'Loughlin added to cast of the film S. Darko

Word is that Alex O'Loughlin has been added to the cast of the film, S. Darko. It's the sequel to Donnie Darko ~ Jake Gyllenhaal's 2001 movie. No details yet about what character Alex will be playing, or how big his part is in the flick. Production began on May 18th. Since Alex & Holly are on vacation in Mexico, his role must not require him to be on the set from day one. S Darko is currently scheduled to premiere in 2009.

Also reported as joining the cast is Justin Chatwin, who you may remember was in The Invisible with Alex.

Richard Kelly, the writer & director of the original movie, is not involved with the sequel.

Here is the movie plot synopsis courtesy of Slash Film.....

The sequel follows Donnie’s younger sister, Samantha Darko, a role reprised by Daviegh Chase. The story picks up seven years after the first film and Donnie’s death when his now 18-year-old sister Samantha and her best friend Corey go on a roadtrip to Los Angeles, where along the way they are plagued by bizarre visions.

Alex O'Loughlin's film, August Rush, released on DVD today

Alex O'Loughlin's musical film, August Rush, is being released on DVD today. Well.... I guess it is also Freddie Highmore, Johnathan Rhys Meyers, Robin Williams, Keri Russell and Terrence Howard's movie. :)

August Rush DVD comes out today ~ Tuesday, March 11th, 2008. Alex plays the part of Marshall Connelly... brother to Johnathan's character, Louis.

Alex O'Loughlin in the Movie "August Rush"

Our Alex is in the new movie, August Rush, which opened today. I'm an action girl, so this is not really my kinda film. However, since Mr O'Loughlin is part of the cast, I will be making an exception. :) I hope the makers of the movie know how lucky they are to have him. The box office is gonna go up just from Moonlight fans!

Alex portrays Marshall Connelly ~ the brother of Jonathan Rhys Meyers' character, Louis. Speaking of Jonathan, our thoughts & prayers are with him and his family at the loss of his mother.

Brian J White ~ Our Lt Carl Davis

I was flipping through the HBO channels, and about to breeze right on by a movie called "The Family Stone." However, someone caught my eye. Brian J. White, our Lt Carl Davis, is in the film! Looking handsome as ever. :)

We have seen him before on The Shield ~ which is another show he has in common with Alex O'Loughlin, although they were not on in the same season. I hope a bit more about Lt Davis will be revealed on Moonlight soon. Obviously, he and Beth know each other from the past..... but how well?!?

Sophia Myles Wins Bafta Scotland's Best Actress Award

Sophia Myles has won Bafta Scotland's Best Actress Award for 2007! The win is for her role as Kate Breck in the film "Hallam Foe." Her name was one of only two that were submitted in the Best Actress category. Strong roles for women are few and far between. That is sad! At least our Sophia found a good one. Perhaps the publicity surrounding her lack of competition will compel writers to create more challenging characters for actresses.

Congratulations Sophia!!!!!!

"Hallam Foe" screened in the US at the Chicago International Film Festival held last month. The name was changed to "Mister Foe" for the fest. If it is given a full release in the US it may not be until March of 2008. Apparently, there is an issue with whether it should be shown in movie theaters here or just on television.
