Mister Foe released on DVD

Sophia Myles film, Mister Foe, has been released on DVD! It is the role for which she won the BAFTA as Best Actress (the movie is known as Hallam Foe in Europe). The film had a limited theatrical release in the US, so most of us did not get to see it on the big screen. *pout* Reviews have been glowing! Here's a link in case you wanna order your own copy of the DVD......

Video of Sophia Myles' appearance on Craig Ferguson's show

The great Absolutely Sophia has provided a video of Sophia Myles' new interview from the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. She is supposed to be there to promote the release of her movie, Mister Foe, in the States. However, they don't really talk that much about the film... which usually happens on Craig's show. He is so funny. A brief preview clip of our girl being seductive, in Mister Foe, is shown.

Craig kept talking about Vampires before Sophia comes out. I knew that meant he would ask her about our show. When he wonders why Moonlight was canceled, she simply replies "I don't know."

We find out that Sophia's work visa expires next June, and she plans to stay at least until then. Often, she has said how much she is loving California. In this chat, she admits that she wouldn't mind becoming a US citizen.

Sophia's wallet was stolen! URGH! On top of that, she didn't even like the movie she was seeing at the time. For those who haven't heard of it, she is talking about Don Cheadle's new action/spy flick, Traitor.

I've received lots of mail from those asking who Sophia Myles is dating. Now you have your answer. According to what she told Craig, she does not currently have a boyfriend.

Hmmmmmm..... she also says that she doesn't have a pet. Around Christmas of last year, she got a puppy named Jackson. What happened to him? :(

Do they not use the "shame on you" sign in the UK? Cute that Sophia had never heard of it.

The movie Outlander to be released on DVD only

We've heard rumors that Sophia Myles' new movie, Outlander, was having distribution problems. Now, several entertainment outlets are reporting that the film will be released directly to DVD. No theatrical release. I was looking forward to seeing her on the big screen again :( Right now, the Outlander DVD release date is scheduled for Tuesday, November 18th, 2008.

The Outlander blog has posted that the film might get a limited release. Usually, that means just to theaters in New York City and/or Los Angeles.

Since it looks like we won't be seeing it at our local theaters, here is the Outlander movie poster. Click on the image above for a larger version of the photograph.

Video ~ Scene from Sophia Myles' film Outlander

This video shows a scene from Sophia Myles' new movie, Outlander. We get a glimpse of our girl as her character, Freya, observes the treatment of the alien, Kainan ( Jim Caviezel ). He is interrogated by Wulfric ( Jack Huston ). Just a little taste of the film.

Public Appearances ~ Sophia Myles at Locarno Film Festival

I'm hearing that Sophia Myles will be making a public appearance at the 61st Annual Locarno Film Festival on August 15th. The fest is being held in the lovely Swiss city. Her sci-fi/fantasy/action/Viking/alien/period film, Outlander, is one of the most anticipated of the event. Everyone calls the enormous movie screen in the Piazza Grande the "heart of the festival." That is where Sophia's film will be showing :)

Check out this wonderful production photograph of our girl in her role as Freya. Kissing her co-star, Jim Caviezel. She looks beautiful, as usual. A red head this time! Seeing that she has hair extensions again made me think of Sophia's funny quotes about being glamorized for Moonlight & Hollywood.

Perez Hilton ~ Vampires Are In

Blogger Perez Hilton has written a post saying what we have all been discussing for months! Vampire stories are more popular than ever right now. Books.... Southern Vampire series of Charlaine Harris and Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer, Movies... such as (of course) Twilight, Lost Boys 2 : The Tribe, Rise with Lucy Liu & Michael Chiklis. TV... True Blood on HBO. CBS could have been a leader with an already established television show in Moonlight. :(

The Vampyre girl in me is excited by all the projects coming out, and can not believe how short sighted the executives at CBS were with our show! *sigh*

Vampires Are In
by Perez Hilton

Vampires will be showing their teeth the next few months!

On the first Saturday in August, teens are expected to attend midnight parties at bookstores across the land in droves to celebrate the release of author Stephenie Meyer's Breaking Dawn, the fourth and final book of her Twilight series.

Breaking Dawn has a first run printing of 3.5 million copies.

Talk about popular!

And then, not too long after that, the first Twilight movie should be hitting movie screens worldwide.

Also, in September, HBO's premiering the vampire show True Blood on September 7th.

True Blood is based on a series of novels by Charlaine Harris. It's set in a world where vampires have come out into the open, thanks to the development of synthetic blood that allows them to survive without feeding on humans.

Anna Paquin will star as a mind-reading waitress who's drawn to a vampire who arrives in her small Louisiana town.

The undead live on!

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."

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.

Sophia Myles as Intrepid Buzzwire Reporter Beth Turner

When the hero of the show has something to hide ~ like he is a Vampyre or Batman or Superman ~ the girl usually spends a lot of time being rescued. She also somehow doesn't see all the evidence of what the man of her dreams is trying to hide. Fortunately, Beth Turner is not that kinda girl. :) She has already rescued Mick on more than one occasion ~ including voluntarily feeding him her blood in the Fever episode (#1x04).

More important, by the second episode she knew that he was a Vampire! I am very impressed that the writers of Moonlight did not follow the typical, dated plot of the love interest being in the dark no matter what happens around them.

Sophia Myles portrayal of Beth is excellent! I enjoy her sense of comic timing, intelligence and the easy camaraderie with Alex O'Loughlin's Mick. One scene I especially enjoyed was how Beth was not intimidated at all by working with Josef, Rider and Mick to contact the teenage vampire (Mineo) in the Arrested Development episode (#1x05).

You have seen Sophia before in the movies Tristan + Isolde, Art School Confidential, From Hell, Thunderbirds and (for all of us Vampyre fans) as Erika in Underworld & Underworld: Evolution. She was on TV in Doctor Who (which makes me think of my dear friend Zoe ~ Miss you!) As well as playing Lucy in a BBC (UK) production of Dracula. Drawn to vampires?!?!?! :)
