As Eric Northman on HBO’s racy vampire saga True Blood, Alexander Skarsgård is not your average bloodsucker. Sure, he’s tall, pale and inclined to exsanguinations, but he rarely chews the scenery—or his co-stars—and his louche breed of boredom is a refreshing antidote to those pubescent Twilight lightweights. The 33-year-old actor, who says his character is “both a mirror and weird reflection of my personality,” masterfully embodies Northman’s above-it-all cool. And for good reason. He’s seen it all before—albeit on a smaller, Scandinavian scale—as the son of internationally respected actor Stellan Skarsgård.

If you're weary of the filthy hedonism that True Blood's main maenad champions, Alan Ball has your number. And he has major designs for that and every other arc on the vampire soap. Although you can't totally despise a character whose actress states, "When someone offers you an entrance where you're standing in the middle of the road naked with a pig, you don't say no." Ball and the beautiful people of True Blood took to the nerdapalooza of Comic-Con this past weekend. But instead of calming the tempests in our hearts by dispensing a few juicy, spoilery crumbs, they stoked more fires. Thankfully, Ball was quick to dash half-vampire, half-human hybrids from ever spawning on the series. "You’re either all human or all vampire." This is terrible, terrible news for Kim Kardashian. But excellent news (plus a spoilery trailer) for the rest of us!

Evan Rachel Wood doesn’t fear the edge—it’s her natural habitat, onscreen and in real life. Uncomfortable, Lolita-esque situations? Check. Nudity? Check. Drugs? Um… Bisexuality? Naturally. “I love me some girls, man!” Wood states unequivocally, sidling into a back booth at a sleek pan-Asian bistro near her home on Los Angeles’ West Side.

Whatever Works reunites director-writer Woody Allen with Larry David. The legendary funnymen had previously worked together on Radio Days and New York Stories. Most actors would be ecstatic to be offered the lead in a Woody Allen movie, but David had a much different take. “I thought Woody had become unhinged,” he says. “I wondered who put this crackpot idea in his head. And of course as with anything I’ve ever been offered, I didn’t feel up to the task. Feeling up to the task is not my thing.” David eventually took on the part of Boris Yellnikoff, a man who is so disenchanted with his marriage, luxurious lifestyle, and the human race that he tries to commit suicide. Saved by a canopy outside his uptown Manhattan apartment, Boris gets divorced, moves downtown, and meets a much younger woman, Melodie (Evan Rachel Wood). The two ultimately learn a tremendous amount about love and life from one another.

Did you have to dig deep to play the role of a middle-aged Jewish man?
That aspect was really unusual. I tried to find as many Jews as I could and befriend them and talk to them and see what made them tick. I went back to Brooklyn and walked the streets and interviewed people, "What's it like being a Jew? How do you behave?"
