AgtSpooky&#39;s Hangout

Nice! Is it a new magazine? If it is, you can scan it, and I can give a crack at translating the interview. If you want. :)

From:

I'm at work so I don't have it in front of me, but I think the date was Dec. 2008. I'd be more than willing to scan it, but since it's several months old we might already know everything Jensen said! :-)

I really need to learn French, because I have a ton of SPN clippings that I've collected from various magazines and would love to know what they actually say, instead of just looking at the pretty pictures. *g*

From:

I see. But if it's something we've not read, it might still be interesting! (Unless it's one of those composite 'interviews' they sometimes do...) So if you have time to scan them, just send them over and I'll let you know if it's of interest. If you want, of course. :)

From:

Oh, I'll totally scan them in for you! Thanks so much for offering to read them through and see if there's any good tidbits in there.

I've got a houseguest tonight, so I'll get them scanned in tomorrow. :-)

From:

i have the scans if you want

From:

Oh cool. You can send them to charlidos @ livejournal if you like. :)

From:

what i can to make i post the scans in my live jounrla for you in public today ok
it's what your name?

From:

Yes, sure, post them on your livejournal. :)

From:

If deanvica23 isn't able to do it today, I'll get them for you tonight. :-)

From:

I've got Jensen's interview scanned in. :-) I figured out the other one was just talking about the last two eps of season three, so no need to translate that one. But maybe Jensen here's got some good stuff to say.

Thanks again for doing this!

We met with Jensen Ackles, in Sydney, this past February, just as the writers’ strike was about to be resolved. We took the opportunity to hear what he would envision for his character in season four, which has been aired after this interview.

How did the premise of the show originally come to Eric Kripke?
This project has been in his mind for the past ten years. From the beginning, it was a bit different than what we know now, and he had to do some modifications, since the network didn’t like the concept he developed the first time. It then took him seven years to redesign his idea, to modify the characters and clarify some questions.
When he, much later, again had presented his idea to the WB, as it was, they’d loved it. After that, they started casting the show. But Eric was very passionate about the subject of the paranormal and had plenty more stories to tell! He didn’t stop at imagining one season, but had the following seasons already planned out.

How has the writers’ strike affected the show?
It has forced us to stop production for almost two months and it will mean six less episodes this third season. At this moment [the interview was made on Feb 12 2008 when the strike had just been cancelled] we still haven’t started the production back up. And I’m afraid that this protest movement has shattered our production team, our family, I could almost say.

On a personal level, that must be difficult…
It’s been two and half years that we’ve worked together very intensively, the tech crew and the production crew. Because we’ve spent so much time working together, we’ve become very close. They’ve become friends. I just hope that the strike won’t force some people to take another job, in order to support themselves. I wish more than anything that we can gather our team back together. It’s a very tight knit group and I think it’s because of that dynamic that we developed, that this show is such a success.

The further we get into season three, the more we see that something’s not right with Sam. Can Dean see that too?
I think he notices, but unconsciously. He’s even mentioned it to Bobby, the guy who helps them from time to time. But Dean doesn’t notice anything more than that, since he’s got other, more important, problems bothering him.

In your opinion, is this something that will be dealt with in future episodes?
Definitely. That’s the way television shows work: you plant a seed and watch how it grows. If it interests the audience, then the writers will continue developing this story line.

Do you think Dean isn’t at all scared about what will happen to him?
Of course it frightens him, but he doesn’t let it show at all. It’s actually a very interesting trait in his character, seeing how he hides his fears and acts like everything is perfect. It’s like he’s saying ‘I’m going to die, so what?’ But deep down, I believe he’s terrified of dying.

But, and that seems obvious, your character can’t die!That would mean the end of the show, wouldn’t it?
It seems impossible to me. But at this moment, we haven’t finished shooting season three…

Do you have any idea how the situation will be fixed?
No idea at all! But it will definitely be surprising.

Could Dean die and return as a ghost?
Supernatural is a show about the paranormal, so anything’s possible!
