Supernatural Headline News - 7 July 2014

So what happened this past week in the world of Supernatural?

Well the big news was all about Comic-Con!

Yes, it was finally announced that Supernatural will be at Comic-Con again this year, talking the coming season. Jensen, Jared, Misha and Mark have been confirmed along with Jeremy Carver, but don't be surprised if more of the writing/executive producer team attend.

Supernatural will, once again, be in the largest venue, Hall H, with their panel being at 10am on Sunday July 27. Expect them to most likely preview a clip from the first episode shot, which will be episode 3 directed by Jensen and part of the season 9 gag reel.

I'll keep you up to date as more about Comic-Con is revealed, like TV Guide covers, Comic-Con bags and whether we will get the guys at the Nerd HQ panel again this year...fingers crossed!

The other really big news was that production got back into full swing. With shooting starting tomorrow, on July 8, the team in Vancouver were busy with tech scouts and concept meetings! All with their first director of the season, Jensen Ackles who was the victim of the infamous lunch prank!

And Russ teased us with tweets from the first concept meeting.

Argh! Such a script-tease!

Jim also put the kibosh to a persistent rumour about the season premiere episode.

There's was also news on the convention front, with the first writer/executive producer confirmed for a Supernatural fan convention since Kripke attended one in 2008!

Yes, Adam Glass, writer on the show since season 6 and executive producer, will be attending Vancon, and this time, in an official capacity as a convention guest! Adam excitedly tweeted out the information during the week.

Hopefully this will be the beginning of getting more of the creative, behind the scenes team as regular convention guests!


And though this isn't strictly news... has everyone seen Mark Sheppard lately?!

Looks like Crowley will be getting a new wardrobe! Wowzers!


And that's the latest in Supernatural news!

Don't forget to tweet the crew to wish them all the best for the kick off of SNX on Tuesday!

Have a Supernaturally awesome week!

Hello announcement we've all been waiting for!

WE'RE GOING TO COMIC-CON!

Supernatural are confirmed for Comic-Con 2014. And as in the past couple of years, we will be dominating, oh, I mean taking over, wait, what I mean is holding our panel in Hall H. Hall H is the largest venue at Comic-Con.

The cast seem pretty excited too!

Season 10 Production Artwork

Jason Fischer, who is a production coordinator on the show in Vancouver, posted a cool pic on his twitter today, showing the updated production artwork for season 10.

This is the artwork that's featured on the production packs/script covers etc. for each episode. 

Check it out! It looks awesome!

"@JasonFischer77 Getting real now ... Season 10 added to graphics."

The First Spoiler for Season 10!

Here it is...oh how I've been pining for ANYTHING, just anything to relieve this hiatus gloom!

And now...out of the blue comes the very first spoiler for season 10!

It's only a little'un, but...

This is from Ausiello


Question: Do you have any scoop for Supernatural season 10? —Shelby

Ausiello: Sure do. The Season 10 premiere, tentatively titled “Soul Survivor,” will introduce the new recurring role of Rowena, a tough but elegant woman who will stop at nothing to reclaim her power base. Here’s the interesting part: Actresses who have or can perfect a Scottish accent are preferred. Hmm…


So Scottish... Is this person in any way connected to the MacLeods? And what is she...what's her power base? Why do we have to wait until October to find out! What are your theories about who Rowena is? Hit me up in the comments!

I feel like the drought has been broken! Let's hope more little nuggets will be forthcoming to help us through these long dark months!

All Hell Breaks Loose 5 - Supernatural Convention Report

*writer's note: I wrote this report for a multi-fandom site called capslockit which is run by a couple of pals of mine and is super awesome, so that's why it's a little bit more explainy than I would usually do for purely Supernatural fans. Make sure you check out capslockit, there are some great interviews on there with some Supernatural cast, amongst other fabulous stuff!

ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE 5 – SUPERNATURAL CONVENTION REPORT.

Guests: Misha Collins, Mark Sheppard, Richard Speight Jnr., Matt Cohen, Mitch Pileggi, Corin Nemec.

All Hell Breaks Loose is a convention dedicated to the TV show, Supernatural that takes place yearly in Australia at the end of May. The convention is over 1 weekend, but is split across 2 States with the Saturday taking place in Sydney and the Sunday in Melbourne.

I’ve attended the Sydney event each year...except the first year in 2010...which is the only year Jensen, and Jared attended and the only one I couldn’t get to! Of course! Curses! Which is why I now travel over the seas twice a year to attend the U.S. Supernatural conventions because seeing the Js is a MUST!

All Hell Breaks Loose is a pretty casual affair, being as it’s in Aussie and we are notoriously casual. The cast seem to have a great time and are pretty loose on stage…even more so than usual! The day consists of photos with the cast, panels and then autographs.

This year the convention took place over the weekend of May 31/June 1, though technically, it kicked off on the night of May 30 with the Sydney VIP cocktail party and the karaoke (which for some reason is called the “Sing-a-long, which is equal parts cringe-worthy and hilarious!). I had the VIP ticket, so I was having drinks with the cast!

The cocktail party was a seated event (the previous year it had been a mingle) with a maximum on 8 people per table including the guest. If anyone has been to the Creation Supernatural convention cocktail parties, it’s a similar thing…but with less people on the tables and more time with the guests. Where as Creation’s cocktail parties are like speed dating on, well, speed, with only 90 seconds per guest, at AHBL, we get about 15 to 20 minutes with the guest and with such a small group on the table, that’s a good amount of time to chat!

Supernatural Headline News - 27 June 2014

Hello...

I'm back! Apparently when the Supernatural crew went on hiatus so did I! Of course, I've still been talking Supernatural on the Women of Letters Podcast, so I haven't totally been hiatusing!

But like the Supernatural crew, it's time to get back to work!

I have some projects I'll be tackling throughout hiatus, so keep an eye out, but for now, I'm kicking off with the Supernatural Headline News!

As we head towards SNX, I'll keep you up to date with all the news fit to print regarding anything to do with our show.

So here we go! The first edition of the SNX Supernatural Headline News (complete with new banner!)
