Ask Kristin: Zooey Deschanel

Lyndsey in Redondo Beach, Calif.: I heard a rumor that Emily Deschanel's sister Zooey might be on Bones. True or false?

Will you accept a "hopefully?" We heard the same thing about the lovely Zooey Deschanel, so we asked sister Emily at Comic-Con, and she told us this: "We've been trying to get her on. We haven't figured that out yet. She's a very busy person." Added Bones show runner Hart Hanson, "We've actually written parts that she can do, and then it doesn't work out. We'll just keep trying."

David explains why he didn't go to Comic-Con

"I didn't go to Comic-Con because the baby was going to come at any minute," says the anxious father. "We're just waiting and waiting. It's nerve wracking, extremely, [but] I finally just decided that it's going to come when it's going to come."

In the meantime, "I must maintain a 20-mile radius. I cannot travel beyond that. If I do, I'll freak out – I have to be there when the baby comes."

Fox ‘Bones’ Brennan & Booth May Kiss In 5th Season Premiere

Article from On The Flix Click there and there's also an amusing photo of Hart and Emily at ComicCon, link thanks to @WillySpooky!

Fox Bones’ star Emily Deschanel (Dr. Temperance ‘Bones’ Brennan) and Bones’ executive producer Hart Hanson spoke with EW’s Ausiello at the 2009 Comic-Con event and they hinted at a few spoilers,but didn’t give anything definite away (video below).

They were asked if Temperance Brennan and Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) are going to kiss in the upcoming 5th season opener. Hart answered saying it was scripted,but wouldn’t say if they actually shot it or not,and told Emily not say anything either. So they may or may not kiss in the season premiere. We’ll just have to wait and see.

They talked about the backlash that they got from the 4th season finale when they teased at a possible love scene between Brennan and Booth. Hart said that they did a good job addressing that in the upcoming 5th season premiere.

They also go on to say that they will eventually address it more as the 5th season goes on. The video concluded with Hart stating that the season finale was more for their loyal fans who have watched the show since its inception because they have more of an understanding of what’s going on.

The 5th season of “Bones” is set to premiere Thursday September 17,2009 at 7pm central time on FOX

moryan: At Comic-con there were 4000 pple in audience, "1000 of them hate me," Hart Hanson said. Overall a good exprnce, they all said.

HH Twitter 58: Emily's Toe

Hart Hanson: Emily's broken toe was doing very well until I stepped on it at ComicCon. She is a gazelle, I am a rhino. Thanks for asking.

Carry Over?

In the alternate world that Booth (David Boreanaz) dreamed up in his comatose state in the controversial Bones season finale, he and Bones (Emily Deschanel) were a happily married couple, running a nightclub called the Lab with the cast of the characters from Bones showing up as varying alternate characters. We saw Sweets as a rock star, Angela as the nightclub hostess, Booth's brother Jared as a detective and more wackiness.

We all assumed it was a onetime dream sequence, right? Well, show runner Hart Hanson teased that they might have plans for some of those alternate storylines. He might just be messing with us, but check out what he has to say about that and what else he and Emily teased about next season...

"The [finale] was full of inside jokes. It was full of inside references. It was full of echoes and insights, I hope," said Hart during our Comic-Con chat with him last week. "And we're going to carry some of the things we discovered in that alternate world into the real world. It's kind of a bridge thing."

Keyword: some. Don't get your hopes up, though. That doesn't mean when the new season picks up, Booth and Bones will be a couple. As we reported last week from Comic-Con, it's still going to take a lot to really get these two together. Hart said he has a plan: "I do know. I'm not going to tell you. I do know if and when it happens [and] where it might happen."

As for that baby storyline, Emily said, "It's something that will probably be addressed in the next season." Hart added, "We have some other things to get past first before Brennan can get back to thinking about a child."

So we have possible alternate-world storylines coming next season, more back and forth with Booth and Bones, baby talk and, as we already reported, Cyndi Lauper plays a psychic in the first episode—and she may or may not have something to do with some buried bodies. What else? "We have an episode about Amish people that is really heartbreaking, actually," said Emily. Hart added, "And right now, David is scheduled to direct our 100th episode."

One last teaser for next season: "Episode five or six of this year is the trial of the Grave Digger, and not a lot of evidence survived," Hart told the panel audience of the episode where Bones and Hodgins were buried alive by the villain known as the "Grave Digger" and where she wrote a letter while underground. "It's very likely that what she wrote [in the letter] will surface as evidence in that case."

Oh, and if it were up to the real-life Bones, Kathy Reichs, next season would also feature a Bones/House crossover. Hart explained, "We're trying to get [Kathy] to write a script, and she always comes up with ideas like, 'I think we should go to the pyramids.' Or she'll go, 'I want to write the crossover with House.' That's her latest thing. [And we say] 'Oh, Kathy. That's not going to happen this year.' "

David's ComicCon Video to the Fans

Transcript:

[Sorry I can't be with all of you?] because I'm a little bit stuck in Los Angeles due to the fact that my wife is in her 34th week of delivering our second child. [He means she's still pregnant, but 34 weeks along.] And it's going to be a girl. And don't ask the name because I'm not going to give out any of that personal information. You know, it's funny because we were just doing this crazy scene back here, we were actually simulating the sunshine because the light was going down and we're here in Long Beach and there were about forty pussy cats--well, there were like ten, I'm exaggerating--but they were eating the dead body. And Bones and I--Special Agent Seeley Booth--walked up to the crime scene and noticed these pussy cats eating this body, so um, I leave you with more than a great season that's ahead of us. And I wish that I could be there on the panel because Hart is sweating bullets right now. If you look at his forehead, you'll see many more dripping down his forehead and ever so slightly, he'll start to talk faster and faster and when he starts to go faster and faster, he'll just start talking faster and faster and he'll become this kinda manic kind of a guy and become very hyperactive and he'll become confused and he'll start laughing and going up and down and he may even fall off the stage and Emily will just look. And stare. And take it all in. And be very calm. And peaceful. And if I were there, then I'd probably be making fart noises or attempting to throw water on somebody--I don't know--and answering your questions. Questions that you might have about.. oh, my socks maybe. That's always a good one. Always go to David's socks. That always works. I always have socks on. See here? I just wanna say thanks to fans and people who support the show. Because we wouldn't be able to do the things that we do without your support. And I know it's very important and I also wanna thank Fox for allowing us to come up and talk. I'm just gonna keep talking while Hart laughs and Emily, you know, just rolls her eyes and does stuff and maybe she'll just eclipse the background. I see you, Hart. You're sweating more. Have a glass of water. And, uh, I just wanna thank you. Thank you for allowing me to come into your lives and give you a character who is deeply deserving of AN AWARD. {cheering... he says something I can't hear} So think about it. I'm very proud of the show. [Very proud of the fans that I have... And actually, the executive producers of Lefty and Tony (???)] does is laughing and he's wanting me to wrap it up with that. Meanwhile, everyone just wants to go to lunch and I'm just gonna keep TALKING... You want me to stop bein'? OK. I'll stop. Thank you.

Hart Hanson & Emily Deschanel

After the polarizing season finale of "Bones," fans finally had their chance to let their opinions be known to the powers that be.

Due to panels starting late all day, the "Bones" panel received the short end of the stick and wasn't allowed their full 45 minutes. That meant the fan Q&A was limited to only the first few people, but the rest made their voices heard in other ways.

On with the live blog...


Representing the show is creator Hart Hanson and star Emily Deschanel.

3:16 p.m.- The panel starts off with a montage of some of the biggest gross-out moments, as well as some cute moments between the characters, including several Booth/Brennan moments that made the crowd go "awww."

3:20- David Boreanaz is unable to make today's panel due to his wife being 34 weeks pregnant. He sends over a video message to play for the crowd, where he proceeds to try and get some Emmy love for his work, shows off his wacky socks, and makes fun of Hart. Hart--who seems to be viewing this video for the first time with the crowd-- is laughing and embarrassed over David's impersonation of him. David clearly anticipated this and he says, "I see you Hart. You're sweating more!"

3:23- The moderator jumps right in to the panel by bringing up the controversial season finale. Some fans start booing when the moderator mentions the faux-sex. Others are glaring and making nasty comments to express their displeasure about the fake-out.

3:24- "I have learned my lesson with you people," Hart says about revealing spoilers.

3:25- David's not here, so before they delve further into the finale, Emily's going to poke fun of the way he says bullets. She says it drives her crazy. "Let's just bash on David Boreanaz!" she jokes.

3:26- But the topic of the finale won't go away. Hart defends it, saying, "I saw the season finale as a love letter to our loyal fans." With all due respect, based on the crowd reaction, it seemed to show that most fans in the room viewed it more as a break-up letter, than one of devotion.

3:27- Apparently the finale got the nickname "fail-nale" on Twitter. Hart does hope that in retrospect the finale becomes more likable to all fans. He says he thinks the real, loyal fans got the meaning behind the episode the first time around and that they appreciated it. The people around me disagree with that statement strongly.

3:29- "It's really tricky," Emily admits, on whether Booth and Brennan should get together. "It would be odd if Booth and Brennan were a married couple....it would definitely change the show." When the crowd is informally polled, they seem to be split over whether B/B should get together. "No" slightly gets a louder clap, but Emily notes that it seems that some people clapped for both votes.

3:30- Emily is asked about getting nekkid with David. "Woohoo," she cracks. "It's never a bad thing" stripping down with David Boreanaz.

3:32- When the shows comes back, they are picking up six weeks post-finale. The issue they are facing is whether Booth can return to work. A bigger issue for Booth is his mixed feelings towards Brennan. "Is he confused or is he actually reading his heart correctly?" Hart teased. Meanwhile, Brennan has taken off to Guatemala to escape from the complications of everything.

3:33- At the request of the moderator, Emily did the "dancing phalanges" hand movements from "The Baby in the Bough" to the amusement of the crowd.

3:35- David is scheduled to direct the 100th episode.

3:37- Emily is asked if she would ever like to direct, and she says she would. Hart tells her with the hours she works, it probably wouldn't work out. Emily points out that he's let David direct before.

After the crowd convinces Hart to let Emily direct, she jokes, "This is where I air out my dirty laundry!"

3:44- Hart reveals that a future episode brings the characters to a chicken farm.

3:45- After they say Jared will be returning, the crowd starts grumbling again. Emily defends the Jared relationship, noting that it did bring her closer to Booth. And as she points out "he was also the one [Booth] that asks me out!"

3:47- Aw, Emily throws Hershey kisses to the audience.

3:48- Fan asks who is the most squeamish cast member. Emily says Tamara is the most squeamish of the cast.

3:49- Biggest cheer of the panel is when a fan questions if Zack will be back. Unfortunately for "Bones" fans, Eric Millegan is moving back to New York, which means it'll now be even more difficult for him to pop up on the show.

3:50- A fan questions if the audience will ever know what Brennan wrote in her goodbye note when she thought she was about to die, in the season two episode "Aliens in a Spaceship." Hart reveals that episode five or six of this year is the trial of the Gravedigger. Most of the latest evidence in that case was blown up in "The Hero in the Hold", so it's very likely what Brennan wrote all those years ago will surface as evidence for the trial.

3:51- Emily says "boo" and pouts when they say the panel has run out of time. The Comic-Con worker in Ballroom 20 informs her that CCI is unfortunately not able to manufacture more time, so the panel is done.

EW Interview Hart Hanson & Emily Deschanel

Ausiello interview for Entertainment Weekly @ ComiCon 2009

(Thanks to Raquelle who sent the YT link.)

Hart Hanson & Emily Deschanel

Some interesting answers here folks!

Transcript:

Ausiello: Emily Deschanel, Hart Hanson, Bones. Thank you for coming.

ED: Thank you for having us. [looks at HH] We're sitting in the same position, except opposite.

HH:???

A: Yes, reconfigure.

ED: I was gonna change.

HH: Thanks, thanks. (sarcastically)

A: We good? We good?

ED: We're comfortable. I swear, very comfortable! How's this? Does this look natural?

A: Nice. I'm gonna ask you this question, but I'm not sure if I'm gonna get a straight answer.

ED: Uh-oh.

A: In the season premiere, do Booth and Brennan kiss?

ED looks at HH: The season premiere? Do Booth and Brennan kiss?

(a little exchange where Ausiello says that Emily can answer for herself.)

HH: It was scripted. It was scripted. Whether we shot or not I'm not saying.

A: OK.

ED: It was--

HH: Don't you say anything. (laughs)

A: An eye roll.

ED: I have a gag order apparently.

A: There was a little bit of a backlash (HH laughs sarcastically about the 'little bit') from fans about the finale, putting it mildly, about the sex scene that really wasn't... uh... Your thoughts about that? Are you gonna do a course correction early in the season and give them the scene that they have longed for?

HH: Wow is that a big question!

ED to HH: It's a big question. Um. There was a backlash from the season finale. I think that everything is answered in the season opener. We go on from there. Are we giving people what they want? Do people really know what they want, Michael? Do they? Or is it our job to provide for them as close to what we can of we we think they really want?

A: People really know what they want.

(Hart cracks up, "And we don't know what they want!")

ED: I think they probably want more, but it's a difficult thing to give them more, but it's tricky. We kind of knew that would happen from the season finale. We were giving them something--you got to see Booth and Brennan as a couple, which is, I guess, what people want eventually, but they want more from the love scene, which is understandable. I would've probably wanted more as a viewer. But it's probably good to keep wanting more, but we'll probably have to give them something in not so long, right? I don't know. (Looks at Hart.... he looks cheeky.)

HH: Yes, yes. We have to deal with this. We will.

ED: This is the only thing, this is probably our only conversation about this now, right? But it will. It will be addressed. But yes, things will be explained--different things are addressed in the season opener of season five for sure, but you know, we probably will continue to figure things out.

HH: That was a good answer. I should just let her talk right form the beginning.

ED: It's one of those things. Some people were disappointed by things and some people were happy to see the characters together. And people who watch the show regularly, I think, appreciated the kind of alternate reality--And there's, like, inside jokes in there--And so, people appreciated that. And we knew that we were kind of pissing people off--

HH: In retrospect, I'd say that the season finale went off really well with our loyal, loyal viewers. So, then you ask yourself what percentage of your viewers are those loyal, loyal viewers and it's not the vast majority.... I'd say it probably shouldn't have been our season ender... The idea was, this is the end of season four, this is for our loyal viewers who have followed us all over the schedule and have been with us for four years. It was kind of for them. They liked it. Not everyone liked it.
