As previously announced Sophia Myles joined the cast of ‘Moonlight’ and went to the Comic-Con International in San Diego last Friday. I’ve added some pictures property of Seat 42f. You can see what Sophia Myles will look like as Beth in the new TV series: aren’t these hair extensions fabulous?

Thanks to Mariana and Chris we now have fantastic pictures of gorgeous-looking Sophia Myles at the ‘Moonlight’ Press Conference at Day 9 of the TCA Summer Press Tour as well as the CBS Press Tour – Stars Party. Many thanks!

I’ve also added some more watermarked [edit: now better quality thanks to Mariana] pictures to the Edinburgh Festival Launch – because Sophia’s looking so happy in them. You can watch a video of the event on the official Festival’s site here or download it in the Media Vault.

Sophia Myles has arrived in LA! (preview pictures) Yesterday was Day 9 of the TCA (Television Critics Associatio) Summer Press Tour and the cast of ‘Moonlight’ were present during the CBS portion of the event. Apart from Sophia also Shannyn Sossamon, Jason Dohring, Alex O’Loughlin as well as executive producers Joel Silver and David Greenwalt were present. If you have some un-watermarked pictures or even a video please don’t hesitate to send them in. It is much appreciated.

Today is the first day of shooting for the proper pilot episode and I hope everything goes well for the production. The premiere date for the show has been announced as well: As of September 28 US residents will be able to watch Sophia Myles every Friday night on CBS at 9 p.m. ET.

In case you were wondering why the show was recast you may be interested in reading CBS Entertainment president Nina Tassler’s explanation:

“What we had with ‘Moonlight’ was a great opportunity. We had a great concept, and we made the best choices relative to time (while shooting the pilot). And don’t forget, it was a presentation. And with a presentation, you get a chance to sort of get a glimpse at what the series might be. When we picked up the show to go to series, we were able to make some adjustments, able to make some changes to improve the show. Not that we didn’t like it to begin with — we saw an opportunity to better some of the choices. More importantly, your pilot really is sort of your ‘launching pad’ into the series. And that’s what happened with ‘Moonlight.’“

There will be another outing for the cast: Together with producer Joel Silver they are scheduled to make an appearance at the Comic-Con on Friday, July 27, 1:00-2:00 pm. If anyone’s going, could you send in a report?

It’s official: The Hollywood Reporter has just reported that Sophia Myles has been cast in the CBS television series ‘Moonlight‘ as the female lead Beth Turner.

The show centers on a private investigator (Alex O’Laughlin) who is a vampire and struggles with the repercussions of immortality, vampire adversaries and his love for a mortal – Beth Turner, a beautiful, ambitious Internet investigative reporter who is always on the hunt for the big story. In the pilot presentation the role was played by Shannon Lucio.

The show will see Sophia Myles move to Los Angeles for the time being and get more known in the States. What do you think of this news? Head over to the Messageboard to discuss!
