Loading ...I seriously did not think this would happen but CBS has not renewed ‘Moonlight‘ for a second season - not even for a back 13 mid-season. Read an article by Hollywood insider Nikki Finke about the money issue (isn’t everything about money?) as well as about some of the behind-the-scenes trouble, which may have played a huge part in CBS’ unfavourable decision in the end.
Is there still reason to hope? According to another blog entry there might be.
Related Posts:“There is a chance, only a chance” that Media Rights Capital which will be programming Sunday’s two hours on the CW “may elect to take Moonlight as one of those two hours”. This is developing to be quite a behind-the-scenes drama because the order came from Warner Bros TV this afternoon to start tearing the Moonlight sets down. But now WBTV will wait until Friday. Before it was cancelled, it had more than twice the number of viewers on CBS than Gossip Girl despite all the hype. So Moonlight could wind up the most watched CW show. Stay tuned.
TV Alert! Sophia Myles is to appear on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson this coming Wednesday, April 30, 2008 at 12.35 AM ET/PT.
This is not only one of Sophia’s rare Talk Show apperances but also her first in the US. Please be sure to tune in - and since I’m not able to watch this programme can you please send in a clip and if possible HQ screencaptures? It’d be much appreciated!

Congratulations! ‘Moonlight’ has won its first award: The cool vampire series is now officially this year’s “Favorite New TV Drama”. Over 10 million votes were cast and ‘Moonlight’ won at the 34th Annual People’s Choice Awards. The 2 other finalists in this category were ‘Private Practice’ and ‘Gossip Girl’.
Due to the current writers’ strike there was no proper awards ceremony - however the winners pre-recorded acceptance speeches as well as answered some questions from fans. Head over to Moonlight Detective to watch Alex O’Loughlin’s cool thank you speech - recorded apparently at a beach down-under.

Wow! Sophia Myles has joked about never getting an action doll of one of her characters despite starring in a number of Sci-Fi films only recently in her interview with MediaBlvd Magazine.
Now, Nicole informs me that on January 31, 2008 one of the new Micro-Universe Spacecraft Sets will be the S.S. Madame de Pompadour from the Doctor Who episode ‘Girl in the Fireplace’ - also starring Sophia Myles as Madame de Pompadour. And guess what? The miniature spacecraft comes with a detailed painted figure of Madame de Pompadour herself! Click here to preview & preorder. Many thanks Nicole!
Related Posts:Tonight the awards ceremony for the Bafta Scotland Awards took place at the City Halls in Glasgow’s Merchant City. As reported before Sophia Myles won the Best Actress award for her outstanding performance in ‘Hallam Foe’! Warmest congratulations to her again!
Actor Alastair Mackenzie - who also happens to be the brother of ‘Hallam Foe’ director David Mackenzie - presented the award and since Sophia Myles couldn’t attend due to working in LA for ‘Moonlight’ at the moment the film’s casting directors Kahleen Crawford and Des Hamilton - who were delighted for her - collected the award for her. They also read Sophia’s thank you note:
“I am filled with gratitude having won the Scottish Bafta for Best Actress. Making ‘Hallam Foe’ was a beautiful experience for all of us involved. Without Jamie Bell by my side and David Mackenzie behind the camera I would not be winning this. My huge thanks to both those guys! This is the first award I have won for acting. I’m horrified that because I’m currently working on an American series called ‘Moonlight’ in Los Angeles I am unable to be with you all tonight to thank you in person. Bafta Scotland rocks! Have a great night! Love, Sophia.”

Wow! I think this has to be my favourite episode so far. I enjoyed how the character of Beth Turner was further developed - and obviously that means Sophia Myles could only shine even more! As always the episode also has a great visual style - except for maybe the final balcony scene where the colours indeed are a bit over the top - but I’m hopelessly romantic so I’m in love with that scene. I have for you as always gorgeous HQ screencaptures of the episode. Enjoy!
