don't be dull, be fannish

A: How did you and Pana approach preparing for your more intimate scenes together?

Dan Feuerriegel: We’d had a few chats now and then saying we’d do this or that, or we might hold hands, but that was generally in the beginning. As time went on we became quite familiar with each other and we didn’t really need to have any conversations or prepare, really, we just did whatever in the scenes. We felt comfortable enough that we could touch each other or randomly put in a kiss without anyone freaking out. That’s what was great about working with Pana.

Q: I can't wait for Spartacus to return for my weekly dose of blood and bodies! Any scoop on what this version of Julius Caesar will be like? -- Kyle

A: This is not your mama's Caesar! The series introduces us to him before he became a great statesman and general. Looking like a young Brad Pitt -- shaggy, buff, charismatic and a little bit crazy -- Caesar (newcomer Todd Lasance) will reveal that he's somewhat impetuous, has a keen mind but also (surprise!) has a bloody shocking sexual kink.

Spartacus creator Steven S. DeKnight is working on Incursion, a sci-fi action thriller about soldiers engaged in war with an alien race. The hook: Each season will take place on a new planet as the good guys push farther and farther onto the extraterrestrials’ turf. The project, which promises harsh combat scenes and complex male and female characters set against an intergalactic backdrop, is part of DeKnight’s overall deal with the cable channel.

As for the homosexual scenes in the show, [DeKnight] dismisses those critics, too. When people ask him to tone this content down he flat out refuses to do it.

"As far as I'm concerned, it's barely in there to start with. And it was part and parcel of this world and it's part and parcel of our world now. If people want to stop watching the show because two guys kiss, well, I shrug my shoulders. You know, that that will always be in there," said DeKnight.
