BREAKING NEWS: It’s official! Jensen Ackles to direct!
Today a representative from the publicity department at Warner Brothers and The CW confirmed to Examiner an internet rumor that during season six of Supernatural, series star Jensen Ackles will direct at least one episode of the demon-hunting drama!
Ackles has spoken of his love of the behind-the-scenes workings of film and television many times, most recently at this year’s Creation Entertainment “Salute to Supernatural” convention in Los Angeles. He spoke highly of the entire crew behind Supernatural, especially the show’s D.P. (director of photography), who is responsible for collaborating with the director(s) to create the look of the show.
“I have always had an interest in all areas of production, not just acting,” Ackles said in March 2010.
His co-star in crime…err, fighting, Jared Padalecki added “Honestly, he has a great, contagious love for the work. When you’re doing 16-hour days for eight or nine months, you have to remember to be excited about it and to be passionate about it. Jensen has that!”
Ackles has previous experience in producing (a short film called Clownana that made the internet rounds in the mid-2000s), but this will be his first mainstream, non-acting Above the Line credit and his first ever in the director’s chair.
What would be your pitch for the episode Ackles directs??
