Stephen Moyer gets a double dose of vampire panel at Comic Con 2010



Stephen Moyer was a busy man on day two of 2010 San Diego Comic Con. On Friday, July 23, he out to attend the annual convention held at the San Diego Convention Center and promote his two vampire-themed projects, Sony's Priest and HBO's hit series True Blood.

After Priest director Scott Stewart introduced an exclusive 3D clip of the post-apocalyptic vampire movie, Stephen joined his co-stars, Paul Bettany, Karl urban, Maggie O and Cam Gigandet of Twilight on stage.

Stephen plays Paul's shorter better looking human scientist brother in the movie. Stephen explained the differences between Priest and True Blood saying, "I can see a lot of similarities, [Preist's] vampires are bred for destruction. What was interesting from my point of view was not playing the vampire, but seeing [director Scott Stewart's] vision because the vampires aren't there."

From there, Stephen joined his co-star and real life sweetie, Anna Paquin in dishing about True Blood. Talking about playing Bill Compton, he found it great that series creator Alan Ball has managed to never have him play the same thing twice.

Stephen spoke about his twisted love scene with Mariana Klavento (who plays Lorena). He admitted to being amazed by the work that goes into it all. He revealed that Mariana had to get a full body cast in order to get her head to twist around. Stephen described the scene as "absolutely insane, and fantastic to do!"

Everyone from the True Blood cast was present at the Comic Con panel, except for Alexander Skarsgard and Ryan Kwanten. Before introducing the cast, Alan Ball offered a compilation from the last half of True Blood Season 3. Among the footage uncovered, we see that Sookie winds up in the hospital after being attacked by Lorena.

Anna Paquin let a couple secrets about Sookie in the third season out. She said Sookie will be kicking some major butt and we'll learn more about her "microwave fingers". Alan teased fans about what to expect in season 4. He says "There's a character who doesn't know who he or she is, and maybe someone who has hated this person doesn't hate them so much anymore.
