Let’s face it, HBO’s vampire show True Blood keeps getting more interesting and fun each week. After a bit of an off start, this new season seems to have found its stride delivering all the drama, sex, action and pathos a TV series could ask for.

As we do most Fridays, we’ve got new clips that give you a preview of this Sunday’s all-new episode. These clips, which are called “Andy Lends Holly a Hand,” Lafayette and Jesus Visit His Grandfather,” and Tara Receives a Visitor” give us some nice insight into Sunday’s episode.

Not only that, we’ve got another bonus video for you: a preview of things to come for the rest of the season. No need to thank us, we like doing it.

Click through for the videos. True Blood airs Sunday at 9/8C on HBO.

The world of fantasy/comedy has been a little neglected lately. In fact, I would challenge you to name any fantasy/comedy movie in the last several years that warranted even a slight notice by most fans and critics.

Obviously, Your Highness is a movie that came out recently that mostly fills this quota. Another is the upcoming Knights of Badassdom which, for lack of a better word, rocks. Or, it seems to based on this brand new first trailer for the film that we have for you today.

The films features Peter Dinklage, Ryan Kwanten, Steve Zahn, Summer Glau and Danny Pudi who gear up for the epic, but fake, Battle of Evermore and … accidentally summon a real succubus from hell.

Yes, you read that right. It does sound cool and, in fact, is. Check out the new trailer after the jump

It’s Friday so that means it’s time for preview for one of our favorite shows. That’s right, we’ve got three new video previews for Sunday’s all-new episode of True Blood to share with you today.

Sunday’s episode, which is entitled I wanted “If You Love Me, Why Am I Dyin’?”, continues the saga of the denizens of Boin Temps, LA as they deal with the new threat in town, witches. Plus, the old threats are still very much alive, or rather not alive. You get the picture.

The three video clips, which have the titles “Crystal Comforts Jason,” “Tara and Lafayette Discuss Eric,” and “Bill Metes Out Punishment” are pretty self-explanatory and should go a long way to getting you psyched for the episode. Looks like a good one.

As an aside, it’s nice to see Tara not being such a victim this season. Apparently, learning MMA fighting and becoming a lesbian has done her some good. Let’s hope the trend continues.

See all the videos after the jump. True Blood airs Sunday at 9/8C on HBO.

For those who are planning on heading to San Diego Comic-Con in a few weeks that were disparaged by the fact that most major film studios are not planning anything major, there are smaller projects popping up that will likely be the winners of the show this year.

One of those is the new indie comedies titled Knights of Badassdom, starring True Blood’s Ryan Kwanten, Summer Glau, Danny Pudi, and Game of Throne’s Peter Dinklage. A little bit of Your Highness and a little bit of Role Models, the film looks to take a pretty funny look at the very real world of LARP’ing. Here’s the premise.

In this humorous fantasy adventure from IndieVest Pictures, Joe (Ryan Kwanten) is a heavy metal rocker who’s just gone through a painful breakup with his girlfriend, Beth (Margarita Levieva). His concerned roommates (Steve Zahn, Peter Dinklage) kidnap him to their LARP (Live Action Role Playing) gathering, where he enters a realm of fantasy escapism in which pretend knights, elves, and barbarians clash with foam weaponry on a mock battlefield.

In the new movie Red Hill starring True Blood’s Ryan Kwanten (aka Jason Stackhouse) he plays young police officer Shane Cooper who relocates to the small country town of Red Hill with his pregnant wife Alice to start a family. And if that’s where the story ended, we probably wouldn’t be talking about it today.

Instead, when news of a prison break sends the local law enforcement officers into a panic, Shane’s first day on duty rapidly turns into a nightmare. Enter Jimmy Conway, a convicted murderer serving life behind bars, who has returned to the isolated outpost seeking revenge.Isn’t that the way it always is. Those darn convicted murders.

Now caught in the middle of what will become a terrifying and bloody confrontation, Shane will be forced to take the law into his own hands if he is to survive. I’ll bet he probably does but still, looking forward to this movie anyway. It sounds pretty good.

Plus ladies, I believe Kwanten takes his shirt off at least once during the film. So see, its not just a movie for guys. Check out the trailer after the jump.

Red Hill will play Chicago International Film Festival, the Mill Valley Film Festival, Fantastic Fest, and the Philadelphia Film Festival before its November 5th release.

Sure, it’s great fun to watch your favorite shows on TV and experience them as a viewer. But what if you could actually participate in one of these shows instead of just watch?

Well, that’s possible now, especially if one of your favorite shows happens to be HBO’s True Blood. What am I talking about? The good folks at Charitybuzz, in conjunction with the show, are auctioning off a featured walk-on role in the series to the highest bidder.

As if that wasn’t enough already, proceeds from the auction will benefit GLSEN, the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network. Bidding is open through June 2 at Charitybuzz, which is one of the leading destinations for online charity auctions.

To get in on the action, head on over to the website for the auction and start bidding. True Blood Season 3 starts June 13th on HBO, so you better hurry.

For more on Charitybuzz and their other great auctions, which include meeting the cast of Entourage, hanging out with Chevy Chase on the set of Community and lunch with the cast of Mad Men, check out their site.

It’s been many longs months without being able to see the further adventures of our favorite show about vampires, voodoo and crazy accents. Fortunately, HBO’s hit series True Blood is about to return to the small screen and I, for one, couldn’t be happier about it.

During the time leading up to the season premiere, we’ve had some stuff to share with you about the new season including news on the minisodes of the series and a trailer. Now, we’ve got a new trailer to bring you today and this one proves to be even better than the last. This time around we get more details on the fates and new predicaments of our favorite residents of Bon Temps, LA.

Judging from this new trailer, things are going to be getting even more serious, and more sexy, once the new season kicks off. And I thought things were pretty serious and sexy last season.

Don’t worry, you’ll only have to wait until June 13th for new episodes. Until then, check out the brand new trailer after the jump.

Apparently it’s True Blood day here at The Flickcast because we’ve got not one but two stories about HBO’s awesome vampire show for you today. Earlier, we brought you news of the new “mini” episodes of the show which have begun airing online in support of its return next month for season three.

In this brand new trailer, we get a look at all our favorite True Blood characters including Sooke, Bill, Eric, Lafayette, Jason and Sam as they start to experience what season three in Bon Temps has in store for them. Plus, it seems Sookie has a new friend, things are getting a bit more violent and we might even see some werewolf activity this season.

Interesting indeed. Can’t wait. Fortunately, don’t have to wait very long as True Blood returns June 13th on HBO. Until then, check out the full trailer after the jump.

Originally titled Guardians of the Ga’Hoole, Zack Snyder’s next directorial work, Legend of The Guardians has been picking up quite a lot of steam lately. This is the first thing that Snyder has worked on since he’s finally settled down after the epic task of adapting Alan Moore’s Watchmen last year.

Originally based on the young adult series by Kathryn Lasky, it’s basically an epic adventure of heroism and wonder, but with owls. The book series ended in November of 2008, topping it off at 15 books, and now Snyder and Warner Bros. are planning on taking that success to the world of film.

The film has a pretty huge cast list, as most big-budget CGI films do these days. Sam Neill, Hugo Weaving, Emilie de Ravin, Ryan Kwanten, Jim Sturgess, Geoffrey Rush, and Helen Mirren round out a pretty well known list of players.

USA Today recently got their hands on the first images from the upcoming film, which is currently set for a September 24th release date. Check out the pics along with the very first trailer after the jump, and be sure to keep it here for any new info as we get closer to the release date of Legend of The Guardians.
