Vampires are everywhere. “Twilight” movies ravaging the cinema and the steaming Southern series “True Blood” does the same on television.

Something that fits Allan Hyde perfectly.

With a central role in the second season of what has become the major new television hit, the Danish 20-year-old got his big international breakthrough.

But the acting life as an immortal bloodsucker is not easy.

For example, fangs offer unforeseen challenges.

“They take too much space in your mouth and makes it difficult to speak. You feel very amazing and bad ass when you put them in, but then you begin to lisp and lose intensity completely. It requires some training, ” Hyde told Dagbladet.

Norwegian turbo movie

As Dagbladet wrote recently, the young “True Blood” hero is in the Norwegian film “Exterior.”

The film was made in record time after the artist Marie Kristiansen and “Predator” director Patrik Syversen came together in Los Angeles earlier this year.

They were fascinated by how young hopefuls prefer to film in the city with dreams of becoming big stars. In just one week, they recorded the movie, which is about just that, and is coming to the theaters next year.

“It was really fun. I have great sense for small, spontaneous productions where people are because they want, and not because they make money on it.”

Hyde was aware of Kristiansen and Syversen by Gitte Witt, who plays one of two female lead roles.

“Gitte is one of my best friends, and I also play her friend. We would improvise a lot, so we could basically just act like we normally do when we’re together. In all, Scandinavians stick together in Hollywood, ” says Hyde.

“When I moved there and stayed for two months to record “True Blood,” I spoke exclusively with Norwegians and Swedes. That’s how it works.”

Making a comeback

In “True Blood” plays Hyde role of Godric, the nation’s most powerful vampire. The character died at the end of the second season, but still shows up in the third season, which is now being broadcast in the United States.

“It is exciting to work on this kind of huge productions. As an actor you can find out quickly that it requires something else from you when it’s all about effects rather than dialogue. It is difficult to discuss character development, you should only do what you’re told because it looks out of synch and will make sense in the finished product.

In the series Godric a repentant vampire, seeking reconciliation with humans. Hyde sees much of himself in the character.

“He has realized that his deeds as a vampire have not been good. Murders and rapes he has committed can not be excused. He has had a revelation. I have also realized this with relation to any pranks in my youth. They were obviously not as serious as this, but the feeling is the same.”

New Norwegian film “True Blood” star Allan Hyde was surprise to American motel owner

“Actually, you need permission, but we just flew around and took liberties in the best guerrilla style,” artist Marie Kristiansen told Dagbladet.

Together with the “Predator” director Patrik Syversen she recently played in the new Norwegian drama “Exterior” in Los Angeles.

In record time

From Syversen script with handheld cameras took the recording just one week, which must be almost new Norwegian record for a film.

“We had a mini team that went completely bananas for seven days,” laughs Syversen.

A motel owner first said yes when Kristiansen and a female actor rented a room and asked if they could bring some boys. But he quickly changed his mind about what they were doing.

“It is apparently quite common to rent a motel to make porn movie over there, so when he caught us in the act of shooting, we were thrown out at a night. I tried to say ‘It’s Not That kind of movie’, but he would not listen,” she laughs.

Acquired “True Blood” star

Although the film is an intense and spontaneous affair with a budget the two co-directors refers to as “extremely low”, it is anything but when it comes to movie’s actors.

In film and TV the world in recent years has been obsessed with fangs, namely, the duo has made a small coup.

One male role is played by Dane Allan Hyde, who broke through as the vampire Godric in the second season of the great success of “True Blood.”

“I met him a year ago by Gitte Witt, who plays the one role in the film, so it was natural to offer him a role. When we first met he was totally unknown. When we came back it was almost impossible to walk in peace with him on the street,” said Kristiansen.

Met in Los Angeles

“Exterior” is the result of Kristiansen and Syversen met in Los Angeles and digested with impressions of the city had given them.

“Los Angeles is full of people who have great need for response. They will find themselves, but in the process they lose themselves. Their dreams crushed, but still they can not let go of them,” Syversen.

The film follows their two girls, who come to the film capital with very big dreams.

“We examine how this desire to be seen actually coming from. The film is not intended as a criticism, but can often be seen as a counterpart to the social pornography “Paradise Hotel” trend that is becoming more and more prevalent in society,” said Kristiansen.

“Exterior” has been Norwegian distribution with Euforia and come to the cinema next year.
