Supernatural Headline News - 10 August Edition

So after all the flurry of the TCAs and ComicCon, it's back to normal Hellatus news as we trudge towards the wonder of October 7!

This week, the CW posted a video which was like the most epic Road So Far ever, to promote the new season, but also a bit of a tease for the Supernatural Retrospective that will be running on October 6, before the premiere of season 10 the following night.

2 Brothers. 10 Seasons. 200 Episodes.

How freakin' epic is our show! I mean, COME ON! So awesome. I feel like I'm going to explode with pride!

Suzanne Gomez was in the Supernatural offices and tweeted about some of the behind the scenes interviews that will be featured in the retrospective.

Kripke, Bob Singer and The Carver were all there.

She couldn't be too spoilery but she did tweet a few little tidbits about what we have to look forward to in the special

Kripke shares stories about Kim Manners, the creation of angels and the Impala, the story behind Bobby Singer being named after Bob Singer. He talks about his favourite demons, one of course being the YED, and his favourite angels, one of which is Castiel. He also talks about Misha and Mark and their rolls on the show.

Bob Singer talks about favourite episodes, one of which is Changing Channels and he talks a lot about casting Jensen and Jared. 

There's discussion of fans and conventions. That Jeremy and Kripke insisted that Knight Rider feature in Changing Channels and there's lots of BTS on the boys.

The Retrospective will air October 6 at 9/8 on the CW! I CAN'T WAIT!

Of course, this past week was also full of the insanity of GISHWHES!

Misha kicked off proceedings in a park with a whole lot of French Maids! Over 800 of them! Which broke another World Record!

Misha even happened across one of the teams attempting one of the scavenger items!

Then there were the heads. So many heads!

Congratulations to everyone who participated and good luck for the outcome!

One of the cool events to happen last week was Leaky Con which saw Supernatural writers and ultimate fanboys, Adam Glass and Robbie Thompson...known collectively as Rodam, take to the stage and answer some questions.

You can get a complete wrap up of the tweets via the Superwiki here

And here's a great interview with the guys by Heidi who covered Comic-Con and Leaky Con for the Wiki.

Since my last update, another monumental fandom event occurred! Croatoan Day!
On August 1 fans all over the world wrote Croatoan on their arms...including yours truly!

This is my real tattoo from "The End"

Misha joined in!

As did Robbie - who loves Robocop, in case you didn't know

There was also art and hoarding of toilet paper!

And Croatoan Day trended Worldwide!

For a look at the many, many photos of written on arms click here!

Remember at Comic-Con how poor Mark didn't have his very own Crowley Pop Vinyl doll? Well a couple of very clever fans sorted that out!

You can read about the whole thing here! It's super cool.

And on the official Funko Pop Vinyl front, we finally got to see the Winged Castiel and Charlie figures which are due out soon. Hopefully Crowley will follow! Come on Funko!

Supernatural Alum, Todd Stashwick had some cool news! He's been cast in the new SyFy series, 12 Monkey's based on the Brad Pitt movie.

Todd will play will play Deacon, the cunning leader of a brutal band of scavengers in the year 2043 called The West 7. Deacon amassed his followers with a “survival of the fittest” attitude… and by burning down the last few government quarantine zones.

You can read more about it here.

There was speculation that Big Daddy Winchester, Jeffrey Dean Morgan would star in Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice as the Caped Crusader's dad, Thomas Wayne. Which kind of makes sense seeing as Dean Winchester is actually Batman!

It's just a rumor at the moment, but this picture was snapped of a painting on set of Thomas Wayne that resembles Jeff, who has worked with Zach Snyder before as The Comedian in The Watchman movie.

What do you think? Do you think this portrait looks like JDM? Read the article at ComicBookNews.

And another of our favourite Supernatural stars had a fabulous interview on scenelousiana.com

"Richard Speight, Jr. is a veteran actor from Nashville, Tennessee. He is best known for his roles on the HBO mini-series Band of Brothers, on The CW’s Supernatural and as Deputy Bill Kohler on Jericho. He can next be seen alongside Danny Trejo and Lin Shaye in the film Mucho Dinero."

Richard talks about how he became an actor and some of his influences. Read more about our favourite Trickster here.

And another interview you should read is Jules from the Supernatural Wiki's catch up with Kevin Parks. Kevin talks all about directing season 9's Bad Boys.

Kevin discusses the challenges of the episode, how he approached working with the younger cast and shooting that awesome death in the bathtub scene! It's part of the Wiki's Script to Screen series and you can check out the whole interview here.

In other news! 

Travis Aaron Wade, who will be playing the mysterious Cole, has been tweeting up a storm from set! Including this...which reveals the title for the season opener, which though recently rumoured, hasn't been officially confirmed... but here's his script all signed and with the title for 1002 (that's 02 in shooting order - this will air as 01) as "Black".

@TravisAaronWade only on #SPN script may be seen so much blood splashes

Some fans caught up with filming again, this past week. These pics of Jensen are via @mommabear75. This will be episode 1002 on air - 1003 in the shooting schedule.

And the set dressing...

Jared shared a couple of adorable pics this week, one of him and Thomas wearing the same hat. He told the story at Comic-Con about how he and Thomas both had that hat.

And another of Gen and the two boys. Gosh Thom is a mini Jared and he's getting big! Such a lovely photo.

And of course, I can't leave you with out a shot of our gym junkie King of the Selfies.

In 8 days. 8 DAYS! I head to Vancon! Keep your eyes peeled for Vancon updates and photos - I will have my camera - and follow me @AmyinSydney for lots of Vancon craziness. 

And that's it for the news this week!

Thanks for stopping by!

Supernatural Headline News - 13 July 2014

It's time for another week of Supernatural news! And this week was a big one, because, the show started shooting season 10!


On Tuesday July 8, cameras rolled on what will be the show's 10th season. This will include them hitting their 200th episode, which will be 10x05 and will be shooting towards the end of August.

This week, they were shooting 10x03, with Jensen Ackles at the helm as director! The title of this episode, may be "Soul Survivor".

And to celebrate, the fans got a World Wide Trend going on Twitter!

All the regular cast were on board for the first episode back with Mark, Misha and Jared all showing up for duty.

Misha seemed to be causing the director a tiny bit of trouble, but the director wasn't taking any crap!

Another cast member was on set, a new one! 

Raquel Riskin has been cast as the recurring character, Dar. This may be the Scottish character we heard about recently, or it may not be. 

It seems Supernatural really likes to keep it in the family. There had been reports that the Supernatural producers were searching for a female recurring character for the upcoming season. Today, Dreadcentral.com announces that role has been cast and one-time Supernatural actor Raquel  Riskin has been cast as Dar. Now, all you Supernatural historians already know that Raquel Riskin had acted as the character Amber Greer in Supernatural 5×06 I Believe The Children Are Our Future. Source

In case you're wondering, Amber Greer was the babysitter who scratched her brains out.

Raquel was tweeting about her new role!

Some fans were lucky enough to find the set on Friday and had a great day, with Misha and Mark stopping by to chat to them.

Jensen was directing and apparently not performing Dean. Jared was also onset. Episode 3 sounds interesting!

I got all the crew's tweets together from the first day of shooting. Click here if you want to see all their excitement!

This week, we also got a couple of spoilers! Including the first season 10 squee worthy synopsis teaser!

BEWARE...AHEAD BE SPOILERSSSSSSSSSS OF EPIC PROPORTIONS!

"Season 10 begins with Sam’s frantic search for his missing brother, who is gone without a trace. The road to recovering the wayward Dean takes Sam down dark paths, with consequences that will shake the boys to their core. Meanwhile, Castiel has to pick up the pieces in the aftermath of Metatron’s campaign. With his grace failing and rogue angels still on the loose, Cass will face the ticking clock of his own mortality as all-new threats emerge to once again push all of our heroes to their limits."

And another spoiler nugget about an upcoming Dean storyline. This is from 10x02 which may be called "Black"

Hi, Matt! I’m curious to know about the Demon Dean personality through the first half of Supernatural Season 10. —Levana
Indeed, Dean has a bit of the devil in him — as will be evidenced by an intense fling he has in the second episode back, with a tough but sympathetic roadhouse cocktail waitress named Ann Marie.

You can read my post here in which I discuss what Dean demon will be like with the laaaaaadies!

SPOILERSSSSSSSSSS OVER!

Another exciting happening this week, was that we found out that we're getting another Supernatural Comic-Con TV Guide cover and this time, with a pullout poster!

The cover is spectacular and goes on sale July 22, so don't miss out!

As well as the Supernatural panel at Comic-Con on the Sunday July 27, Misha will be joining a TV Guide fan favourites panel on the Saturday. So if you're going to Comic-Con, make sure you add that to your must sees! It's at 12, Saturday July 26 in Ballroom 20.

More on Misha... On Monday July 14, Misha will be doing a Reddit Ask Me Anything at 2.30 - I'm guessing that's Pacific Standard Time as that's what he's on. But if you want to check this out, better check out Reddit. I expect he'll crash it! That seems to be what he does! He had to shift the orignial time due to his shooting schedule.

And if you're a fan of the dearly departed Tessa the Reaper, Lindsay McKeon did an interview with Shockya.com where she discusses Tessa and chats about Supernatural.
