Laura Vandervoort reveals the sexy werewolf secrets of Syfy's Bitten
Are you tired of watching vampires hump each other's brains out? Are you ready for a totally different set of horny monsters? Well, wait until you get a load of Syfy's hot new Bitten series starring the astoundingly gorgeous Laura Vandervoort and a whole pack of hot, bearded wolf men. We got all the details on this show, straight from Vandervoort herself.Spoilers ahead...
The series is supernatural soap at the highest level centered around the only female werewolf on the planet — how did she get that way? Because of a guy. Vandervoort plays the spirited Elena, who has ditched her pack for the lone wolf life in Toronto. But suppressing the wolf inside tends to be difficult when every time you get hot and bothered, you want to rip off your clothes, turn into a wolf and run naked through the city streets. Elena is eventually called back to the pack due to a werewolf emergency and there we get to meet her abandoned sexy pack-brothers. Who also spend a lot of time shirtless and running around in the woods naked, and eating sandwiches (because wolves get hungry).
The sex scenes are hot, and everyone is beautiful — so thus far, we are entertained. And thankfully we got to talk to show star Laura Vandervoort to find out what ELSE we should be looking for on this series besides beautiful naked people rolling around like animals in front of a fire.
And apparently, there's a whole lot more. Find out for yourself, below!
There were a lot of steamy scenes in the first two episodes that I watched in Bitten. Are we going to continue to see more steamy scenes throughout the rest of the series?
The show definitely is more of an adult audience. It's very Sopranos and True Blood. There's definitely a lot of sex appeal to it. You also have to remember that they are animals, there's the animal lust for one another and Elena is trying to suppress that. She doesn't want to be near [one character] but they are very much drawn together. So that's very intense. There will be a lot of that, and you have characters that are very sexual. That's definitely an aspect to the show.
'Bitten' TV Show: Nudity, Blood And Everything Else You Need To Know
Mature ContentForget "Twilight" or those supernatural teen soap operas where romance drives the plot. "Bitten" features darker characters with a grittier tone. In fact, Vandervoort believes the series is more HBO than CW.
"The fact that we're werewolves, there's the erotic side to it," she says. "The animalistic sexual side. They're drawn to one another, especially Clay and Elena. They`ve got that bond that's irresistible. She tries so hard to resist. The show is very sexy. I, as Elena, have two different lives. With my boyfriend Philip (Paul Greene), it's a certain love and attraction. It's more about their relationship and their respect for one another. He just lets her do her thing and doesn't ask questions. But she's just physically drawn to Clay. It's a little more aggressive with the clothes off. There are two different love scene styles when we shoot them."
"I kill a guy," chimes in Holt. "Or that girl getting fed on when her guts are out and a wolf is feeding on her stomach. We're definitely not holding back on the blood."
"Or the nudity," offers Vandervoort.
"Yeah, the nudity," agrees Holt with a chuckle. "My ass makes a cameo."
"It's definitely an adult show in that it's more 'True Blood' than 'Vampire Diaries,'" concludes Sugar. "It's an older take on genre, although it's never gratuitous. It's always in service of the stories we're telling. Space is pushing the envelope in terms of where they're going. We're telling the stories we want to tell and using the visuals to help do that. The show and books are erotically charged and we're staying true to that. It's going to be a sexy, fun, suspenseful thrill ride."
Variety Review: ‘Bitten’
Mildly fun but less appealing, there’s “Bitten,” starring Laura Vandervoort, an actress so out-of-this-world gorgeous people keep casting her as something other than human – Supergirl, a “V,” and now the only female werewolf.“Bitten” is strictly escapist fantasy. That said, given the popularity of recasting the supernatural for a next generation, it feels not just bitten but chewed up and regurgitated.
Based on Kelley Armstrong’s “Women of the Otherworld” novels, Vandervoort plays Elena Michaels, who has left the werewolf pack and is trying to make a go of a “normal” life, with a new boyfriend (Paul Greene) and job as a photographer. Those plans, however, are dealt a setback when a rogue werewolf begins to commit murders, prompting the old gang to enlist Elena to help track the beast – and, inevitably, expose past relationships and emotional wounds.
Aside from some insight into werewolf-pack politics (an area, frankly, “True Blood” has already overdone), “Bitten” doesn’t turn over many new leaves, aside from a fair amount of sex and tasteful nudity when the lycanthropes strip down to run free. In something of a disappointment, though, once the change happens (a process involving the requisite glowing eyes and undulating skin), they’re transformed into plain old wolves.
While there’s a fairly dense mythology here, as adapted by Daegan Fryklind “Bitten” feels stitched together from pieces of werewolf tales of yore – undermined, in terms of casting its own spell, by TV’s familiar version of a pack mentality.
* There she goes again. No one in the showbiz for the past year has come close to Laura in throwing around the N-word like she owns it. Incredible. Almost every freaking interview.
