Here is an excerpt from the article talking about the movie:
Described as a romantic gothic fairy tale, “Cradlewood” follows a man (Somerhalder) threatened by a family curse. Thanks to an old deal with a demon, every male in his family dies as soon as he begets a son. In the movie, which was conceived and will be directed by visual effects artist Harry Weinmann (“Race to Witch Mountain”), Somerhalder’s character suspects that his wife is pregnant and he resolves to do what he can to stay alive.
ACTOR2WATCH: What was your first real break as an actor?
KATERINA GRAHAM: This maybe? I had a few little ones. I didn’t really get a big break. I don’t know if that necessarily applies to me but I did “Movie Surfers” when I was like 13 or 14 for the Disney Channel when I would interview different people from different films and that got me a lot of recognition.
Fanta was a big campaign that got me some recognition. It’s always like after these shows are finished, you’re sort of back to where you began, back to the auditioning room.
So I feel like “Vampire Diaries” is the biggest thing that I’ve had that’s turning into something beyond whatever I’ve experienced before. But I don’t know if I’ve ever really gotten a big break before this. I feel like I’ve had opportunities and then they’re gone.
PopWrap: Had you read “The Vampire Diaries” books before coming on the show?
Zach: I was always a fan of vampires, but I hadn’t read the books. Fortunately, though, I have a little sister and a bunch of girl cousins that had read the books, so they pretty much filled me in when I first got the audition.
PopWrap: What was it about Matt that attracted you to the role?
Zach: Well, on “Friday Night Lights,” Cash started out as kind of a nice guy but then turned out to be, you know, not a nice guy. And other characters I’ve played have always in the end just been kinda walking on the wrong side of the line. Matt was a chance to just really play a nice guy. I just wanted to get a chance to show that.
PW: He’s nice now, but will he stay nice if/when he discovers that his ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend is a vampire?
Zach: You know, I think as soon as Matt figures out that they’re vampires, something’s gonna happen. He’s a pretty level-headed guy, but he’s also the hero so, you know, who knows. Who knows what he’ll do.
A new episode of The Vampire Diaries will premiere on the CW Network tonight at 8 pm. The episode is titled – Lost Girls.
Here is the official synopsis of the episode from the CW:
Elena (Nina Dobrev) demands that Stefan (Paul Wesley) explain the frightening events that have been happening in Mystic Falls. In flashbacks, Stefan explains how his rivalry with Damon (Ian Somerhalder) began. Back in the present, Damon impulsively takes control of Vicki’s (Kayla Ewell) future, and a confused and frightened Vicki runs away. Finally, Sheriff Forbes (guest star Marguerite MacIntyre) and Mayor Lockwood (guest star Rob Pralgo) take steps to protect the town.
I think it’s just one of those cases where he doesn’t know any different. Elena’s the only girlfriend he’s ever had. She’s his childhood best friend who was the first for everything.
Has playing a non-vampire given you vampire envy?
When it first started out I was totally content not playing a vampire just because there’s a lot of extra contacts and make-up involved. But now I think it would be kind of fun to play a vampire. Ian Somerhalder makes it look like a blast.
