On Sookieverse there is a good guide to a number of questions asked during a Charlaine Harris Boskone 2011 (a science fiction convention): the author of the post, Serena, was present and transcribed everything.
Check it out, especially the part about TB, because it's very detailed. Harris is interviewed about what you think of True Blood, and says very interesting things, such as that for a while, 'he thought to kill Bill, then think again, who was surprised that Calvin died in Norris TB, that is initially puzzled by Bill television but then got the third season that Ball was going in the direction of books that really liked the scene where Bill is piss in fear the policeman in a season because it reveals the dark side of Bill that his favorite episode is I will rise up, etc..
HERE THE POST.
* I, reading, I was struck by the importance of the Harris' to the similarity or not physical resemblance to those involved in TB than the descriptions she had made.
On Eric:
Ms. Harris complimented Alex's acting, and she Thinks he is nothing like Eric. NOTHING.
(Mrs. Harris would like to congratulate Alex for his acting, and think that does not resemble at all to Eric. For nothing.)
Well, I hope that Harris was referring simply to the fact that Alex is not physically consistent with its Eric ideal. We know who wrote the character of Eric is modeled on the physicality of Vladimir Kulich, actor seen in The Thirteenth Warrior in the role, in fact, a Viking warrior.
VS
Very manly and muscular, mid-twenties (I ALWAYS Kulich a bit 'more grown-up, though) with long, thick hair, this is as it should be Eric. But Alex differs so much from this description? And then, what we care if it differs, if it is in a bit more graceful in the features or more slender? JMO.
I, personally, I find it interesting, but EVER SINCE ALEX Vladimir Kulich, and I see no reason to have to point out in an obsessive way that Eric the paper is a bundle of muscles (as if he was a skinny Askars: if there you had forgotten, HERE IS A SOUVENIR ).
What about Sookie:
VS
On the casting of one Miss Stackhouse, she thought “Renee Zellweger would have made a really good Sookie.” (Reading into that a bit, I believe she meant a much younger RZ. And since she likes to mention Anna Paquin is a size 2 or smaller, that she meant Bridget Jones’s Diary Zellweger). After Ball sent her pics of other actresses during the casting process, she was surprised to find Anna, an accomplished actress, wanted the role. “This brunette Australian?!”
[...]
A question was asked on how she feels about AP as Sookie, she gave the usual ‘Anna is a lovely girl, 'and then "she'sa size zero since she's just not like my Sookie, who is more of a real woman."
(Anna is a lovely girl, but since is a size zero is not at all like my Sookie, which is more like a real woman).
Oh well, besides the fact that Anna is NOT Australian and New Zealand (it would be like saying that a Leghorn and Florence, and vice versa are angry), but Renée Zellweger? Let's be clear: the Zellweger actually E ' lean. And yet beautiful. See to believe . It was not when he Bridget Jones's Diary.
you see Bridget Jones succeed in breaking the hearts of vampires, werewolves and tigers wer?
Well, I say that Anna may or may not like, but it's a real woman too. It is not skinny and definitely not anorexic, and has all the curves in the right place, but it is not beautiful in the Hollywood sense of the term, has its little flaws that make it real and not plastic. So, what Harris has to complain about? Do you mind that Sookie does not have TB of megatettone, blue eyes and naturally blonde hair? not you, rather, to propose a kind of woman slightly unnatural, a physicist with more pin-up's and women's normal?
What then can complain about the acting of Anna, or the choices made by the authors about his character, on this we can agree, but I think the physicality of Paquin is the last of the problems.
Maybe, but here I go out with one of my wickedness, perhaps Ms.Harris Sookie sees as the good version of herself, her alter ego revised and updated (which is ok, it's a trend common in writers), and slender, but athletic and healthy Anna Paquin does not recognize ...
Oh, and by the way: I weigh 45 kg, are low and the second port, and then, according to the standards of Harris, I'd pretend to be a woman? Just because I'm an elf? This is discrimination.
