Jared Padalecki interview: Supernatural to resume shooting in first week of July

[fangirl_says]

From HERE. (No spoilers unless you consider whether series regulars (i.e. Jared and Jensen) will be returning to be spoilers.)

Jared Padalecki, one of the stars of The CW's Supernatural, told reporters that he will begin shooting the upcoming fourth season in July, assuming that there's no actors' strike.

"As of right now--yeah, I guess the strike is a huge issue," Padalecki said in a group interview on the set of his film Friday the 13th in Austin, Texas, on June 6. "But as of right now, we're supposed to start the first week of July, because they want to have it airing with Smallville, and Smallville starts shooting really early, so they want us to start shooting really early also so they can air new episodes of each together."

Padalecki added that he hasn't seen any scripts for the new season yet, nor has he spoken with series creator Eric Kripke. "The only person I've really talked to is [co-star] Jensen [Ackles]," who is spending his spring hiatus shooting his own horror movie, My Bloody Valentine 3-D, in Pittsburgh. "He and I have just been keeping in touch, you know? But I haven't seen scripts or read scripts or heard any ideas. So I'm completely [in the dark]."

As for Ackles' future on the show (spoilers ahead!), his character, Dean Winchester, was last seen in the season finale writhing in hell after dying as foretold. That has alarmed fans who worry that Ackles won't return.

"I'm assuming [that's] clearly not [the case]," Padalecki said. "I think his plan is to be in Vancouver when I'm in Vancouver. I pray to God [he is], because [if not,] then that would mean that I, all day, every day, [will have] no one to [share the show with]. I'll bear the burden [on my own]. But, no, I'm sure Jensen is going to be a huge part of the show, as he always has been. Same as always. Just in hell [laughs]." Supernatural returns in the fall in its regular Thursday 9 p.m. ET/PT timeslot.

Same as always. Just in hell. :D

Same as always. Just in hell.

Hee! That should be Dean's first line when he returns and someone asks how he's been. "Same as always. Just in hell."

Jared sounds just a teeeensy bit concerned he might have to carry the show himself for a few episodes. Poor guy, just as much in the dark as we are.

Hee! That sounds like the kind of smartass thing Dean would say, especially if he thought it would forestall a chick flick moment. :D

Thank you for the info on when they return to set. I guess I better clean up the postcard comm and get it ready for a new season.

Hee! I was kinda thinking about that. Man, it's so wild that it's nearly time to start the 'welcome back' card campaign. :D

On the other hand, now I've gotta think of a decent postcard idea. Hmm...maybe LOLSPNs of some sort...

Jensen's here?

Jonathan Rhys Meyers was here. Viggo Mortensen was here. Now Jensen is here.

*goes and has fangirl meltdown, then plots to find Jensen*

Hee! Let us know if you find him. :D

[aecamadi.livejournal.com]

You know you'll be the first to hear about it!

Funny how they are both filming horror movies....

[fangirlsays.livejournal.com]

I know, right? I love me some horror movies, but I hope they can both branch out soon.

Yay! Here's hoping the actors won't strike so they can start filming. Bad enough to have this long hiatus - it really will be Hell if the actors strike and we don't get new episodes for friggin' months. *sigh*

*joins in the hoping for no strike*
