Entertainment Weekly’s Michael Ausiello just got the scoop: Evan Rachel Wood will join HBO’s ‘True Blood’ in the pivotal role of Sophie-Anne, the vampire Queen of Louisiana. Still confused? Read on…
Who dat, you ask? [Sohpie-Anne's] a 500-year-old vampire from France who is
charming, wily, ruthless and wise. She’s a consummate diplomat who has
(or had) many of history’s most famous people on speed dial.Short story shorter: It’s a major frakkin’ part, and landing Wood (whose last significant TV gig was Once and Again) is a major frakkin’ coup."
That’s great for ‘True Blood,’ and it also sounds like a great role for Evan, doesn’t it? I love that she doesn’t take the typical ingenue roles!
Are you ‘True Blood’ fans excited?

It is going to be very interesting to see how Alan Ball is going to write up the Queen in True Blood. I hope he DOES NOT follow the books and keeps Bill and Sookie together because they are the heart of the show! Can’t wait for season 2!

Ugh! I don’t like this girl either. I saw someone softer, smaller, more feminine & classy than this girl. She just looks like a white trash wannabe to me.
She looks wicked here….
She’s gorgeous. Totally gorgeous, totally young, and a better actress than people give her credit for. Forget Across the Universe – ERW is gonna ROCK Sophie-Anne. GREAT casting.
Saw ERW in last night’s episode of True Blood. She…was…HORRIBLE. It was more than obvious that this “starlet” thought that she was beyond her fellow actors and she overacted, in an obvious attempt to snatch the spotlight.
It didn’t work, ERW…it didn’t work.
ERW sucked on true blood, she had the aesthetic down but none of the macabre grace needed for this role.
she looks gorgeous in these photos. definitely love that hair color on her
I could DEFNITELY see here as Sophie-Ann….
Ugh…I wish Trueblood would hurry up and be on again!
i am kind of annoyed. i love true blood and i don’t like disasters like evan r. wood. it sucks!!!
ugh i can’t stand this girl. she’s not really a good actress, and is known more for dating creepers like Manson and Mickey Rourke.. probably got the part because she is faux-goth and “alternative” ugh!
she’s a head case and her acting is subpar. this is not a good thing for ‘True Blood’.
Ok, I have to say I LOVE THAT OUTFIT. Seriously, that dress is gorgeous.
She looks really good here, that dress makes her waist look tiny.
She looks beautiful here and in that dress.. I wouldn’t be able to pull it off but she can!
Great casting!
