Before Ian Somerhalder became the heartthrob of millions of young teens with The Vampire Diaries, he was one of the lead characters in Lost. The actor had his breakthrough with the role and was one of the first main characters to die in the series. Despite that, he reportedly considers the show the best time of his life.
Somerhalder recently gave an interview stating the reasons why he left acting at the peak of his career. Playing Damon Salvatore in The Vampire Diaries seemed to be a position that people killed to have, but Somerhalder mentioned that he wanted to focus more on his family and the environmental conservation projects that he was working on.

There have been a lot of Star Trek shows coming out in the past few years, but few have captured hearts and minds like Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. This prequel series follows Captain Pike (Anson Mount) and his crew aboard the USS Enterprise, filling in the years before Captain James T. Kirk took over the ship in the original series. After experimenting with weightier storytelling in Star Trek Discovery and Star Trek: Picard, Strange New Worlds signified a return to form for the franchise with its adventure-of-the-week episodes and lighter tone.
It's obvious that Paramount+ knows it's got a hit on its hands, because Strange New Worlds has already aired two seasons and has a third on the way in 2025. But that's not all!

Ian Somerhalder is reflecting on walking away from acting.
In an interview with People published Monday, the Vampire Diaries star explained why he stepped away from the screen to pursue various passion projects. The actor’s comments come amid the CW show’s 15th anniversary and the 20th anniversary of Lost, both shows on which he starred.
“Aug. 19 makes five years since I was professionally on camera as an actor/producer,” Somerhalder said. “I stepped away from that after V Wars to build these companies, launch films like Kiss the Ground, Common Ground and Ground Swell and raise my kids. I remember sitting with my management talking about this, saying, ‘Hey, this is the only thing I’ve ever known that’s ever sustained my family, and I’m walking away from it,’ at this sort of peak, could have gone and done anything, but these partnerships mean way more to me.

Every generation has its stars, and the 2000s were no different. Whether in music or Hollywood, that era had its own standouts, and one of the big names was Ian Somerhalder. He first popped up in the iconic Lost back in 2004, but it was The Vampire Diaries that really put him on the map, turning him into one of the most beloved stars by fans.

With the vampire craze going strong at the time, it was no surprise that the actor rode that wave to boost his career. But even though he jumped into another project soon after, acting wasn’t really bringing him happiness. Somehow, Lost played a part in that, especially in how he joined and left the show.

When Covid-19 hit, Paul Wesley, like most of the world, found himself at home with nothing to do. So, he and his then-neighbor, The Vampire Diaries co-star Ian Somerhalder, started working together to bring a new kind of bourbon to the market.
Their effort to kill time led to the creation of their now-very successful alcohol: Brother’s Bond Bourbon. Since launching in 2021, the brand has become one of the fastest-growing whiskey brands, according to Whisky Advocate, which claims they’ve shipped more than 100,000 cases across the U.S. over the last three years.
Wesley and Somerhalder portrayed beloved onscreen brothers Stefan and Damon Salvatore, respectively, on the hit CW show, bringing their close relationship offscreen for Brother’s Bond Bourbon.

When the pilot of "Lost" aired on ABC in September of 2004, it became an instant hit for the network and catapulted its sprawling cast to stardom in the process. Created by J.J. Abrams alongside Jeffrey Lieber and Damon Lindelof — the last of whom would eventually become a co-showrunner with Carlton Cuse — "Lost" begins in the immediate aftermath of a massive plane crash on a deserted island, but things quickly get very, very complicated. When Oceanic flight 815 crashes on that island while traveling from Sydney to Los Angeles, the audience is introduced to the survivors ... and throughout the first season, they all get a closer look through flashbacks set before they ever boarded the doomed flight.
I should say this up-front: the cast of "Lost" is huge, so not every single important character will get a spotlight here. As far as the core cast is concerned,...

On 10 September 2009, we all walked into Mystic Falls and simply never left. We fell in love with everything The Vampire Diaries had to offer – heart-stealing bromances, selfless heroes, unforgettable couples in love, and even the villains. Everything was simply perfect. And then one day, it all came to an end. We said goodbye to our favorite vampires, witches, werewolves, and hybrids in 2017 but hey, what goodbye has actually lasted? Call us Tvd fans sappy but we keep going back to the series time and again to witness it all again as if we are seeing it for the first time.

In the realm of the supernatural genre, The Vampire Diaries occupies a very special separate space for being an incredibly intriguing and fascinating series about blood-sucking fictional beings known as Vampires. Having won several awards and fashioned off several spin-offs, the series remain as beloved as ever despite its end in 2017.

What made the tale even more interesting was that the series took creative liberty to expand upon the concepts of ‘Originals’ aka the first-ever Vampires, in turn leading to an equally successful series, The Originals. The concept turned out to be instrumental to the success of The Vampire Diaries, yet Ian Somerhalder has a good reason to be bitter about the show.

Imagine The Vampire Diaries without Ian Somerhalder as Damon Salvatore. There, there. Hope you didn’t choke. But boy, it almost happened! In some wild alternate universe, the brooding vampire could’ve been played by none other than a Marvel star. Yep, before Somerhalder won fans over with his smirks and dangerous charm, the showrunners were eyeing a completely different actor—one who’s since made waves in the superhero world.

But as fate would have it, and thank God it did, that other guy just didn’t hit the mark, leaving the door wide open for Somerhalder to swoop in and claim the role of a lifetime. It’s crazy to think that one casting decision could’ve flipped The Vampire Diaries upside down!

Vampire Diaries premiered on The CW on Sept. 10, 2009, and ran for eight seasons,. Now, to celebrate the milestone anniversary, showrunner Julie Plec looks back on the series she created with Kevin Williamson and how it launched a supernatural franchise.
She recalls wanting to “tell a really emotional story that was sexy and romantic and scary and all the things,” while also creating “something that felt timeless, that could live on and continue to feel like anybody, any generation at any time can connect to it.”

The Vampire Diaries must have had its SFX crew and Foley artists working overtime, considering how many gory deaths viewers saw and heard on the CW series. Bones breaking, heads rolling, veins spurting — all in a day’s work for the vamps, werewolves, and witches of Mystic Falls and the crew members who brought them to screen. In fact, a Fandom list of Tvd demises includes 20 decapitations, three dozen stakings, and more than 120 exsanguinations. And this was a show targeted to teenagers! As The Vampire Diaries turns 15 on September 10, we’re rounding up our picks for the show’s 15 most brutal deaths.

"Smallville" began as a Superman origin story, showing Clark Kent (Tom Welling) growing up as a Kansas farm boy in the early aughts. His best friend? Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum), of course! About halfway through, it became a straight-up Superman show that just didn't have the title or costume. Once you introduce the Justice League, you're out of the "prequel" period.
As this change happened, "Smallville" got very liberal about bringing in DC Comics characters — Clark even fought friggin' Darkseid in the 10th and final season! That makes two big absences stand out all the more. Batman and Wonder Woman, Superman's closest comrades and fellow parts of the DC Trinity, never show up in "Smallville."
At the 2024 TerrifiCon convention, Welling revealed it wasn't only fans who wanted Batman to pop in on "Smallville." Welling, though, said his ideal crossover would've been more low-key and free of any black, pointy-eared costumes:...

The inaugural World Culture Film Festival kicks off in Los Angeles Thursday, a four-day event “dedicated to showcasing films that inspire, educate, and celebrate diverse cultures.”
Wcff opens with Oscar-shortlisted dramedy The Monk and the Gun, directed by Pawo Choyning Dorji. The Bhutanese filmmaker — whose Lunana: A Yak in the Classroom earned a 2022 Academy Award nomination for Best International Film — will be present for a Q&a to follow The Monk and the Gun screening.
The festival closes with Wim Wenders’ Oscar-nominated Perfect Days, a drama about Hirayama (Koji Yakusho), a man who cleans Tokyo’s public toilets, which are renowned for their immaculate appearance.
‘Perfect Days’
“Hirayama clearly derives enjoyment from performing his work well,” the New York Times wrote in a rave review, “but there’s more to his life than labor, and more to this movie than a simplistic celebration of manual toil.”

Forget summer blockbusters. On July 1, ABC’s six-season hit series Lost became available for streaming on Netflix and the show’s availability on not one, but two major streaming services (the other being Hulu) has skyrocketed the story of the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 back into the spotlight. From original fans of the series, which ran from 2004 to 2010, to new Dharma Initiative recruits, all eyes are on the lush island where characters like Jack, Kate, and Sawyer found themselves fighting to survive and keep their own dark secrets hidden.

Julie Plec, co-creator of the hit supernatural drama “The Vampire Diaries,” has hinted at the possibility of a new series in the franchise. During a promotional event for her new Max series “The Girls on The Bus,” Plec shared her enthusiasm for expanding the “Vampire Diaries” universe.
“I have a story I still want to tell,” Plec told Screen Rant. “I know that the people who are on the book have a story that they still want to tell. I’m sure Warner Bros. has plenty of stories they want to tell. So, the hope is they’ll give me the opportunity to do it again. We’ll see.”
While no specific details were provided about the potential new series, Plec suggested that L. J. Smith’s original novels could serve as inspiration. The franchise, which began with “The Vampire Diaries” in 2009, has already spawned two successful spin-offs: “The Originals” and “Legacies.

There are always several ways to go about a popular topic in fiction. High and low fantasy; grounded and space sci-fi; man-made and natural apocalypse; you name it. However, when it comes to vampires, the rules were set over a century ago: it’s a magical condition, a curse that turns dying humans into those bloodsucking night crawlers who crave for human victims and dark aesthetics.
There have been many attempts to turn vampires from fantasy to sci-fi, each of them properly disastrous — but we’re here to talk about the most recent and decent one.
Vampirism: Not a Curse, but a Virus
The common approach in all sci-fi vampire takes is that instead of an unholy curse, vampirism is a mysterious virus, and the TV show we’re talking about didn’t shy away from this trope. In V Wars, the deadly virus begins spreading at a rapid pace...

However, the concept of a teen drama revolving around supernatural forces did not seem appealing to Somerhalder, who played the role of Damon Salvatore in the series, when he first received the script. The actor recalled throwing it away believing the makers were attempting to bring The Twilight Saga to the small screen.

Womaniser and Mr. Bad Guy Damon Salvatore, played by Ian Somerhalder, quickly won the fans’ love with his passionate and controversial nature. And while he began the series as a ruthless psychopath and killer, the vampire decided to reconsider some of his life's priorities by the end.
Damon has become one of the show's most complex and multifaceted characters. The older Salvatore brother seems emotionally distant, which has become his defense mechanism, developed as a result of his long history of betrayal and loss. This detachment helps him deal with his pain and loneliness.
It wasn't until Season 6 that fans were able to see the roots of Damon's behavior – and it had to do with his mother, Lily.
