13 days until the season 3 premiere of Sons of Anarchy on 9/7!
Seems like tension is mounting with the impending season 3 premiere. Last week Charlie Hunnam and Kurt Sutter had a small, public pushing match over creative strategy. Hunnam off-handedly voiced his opinion to the Chicago Tribune, “Keeping actors in the dark is not always the right move, because without knowing the direction that something’s going, one can make slight mistakes.”
Mr. Sutter answered to that via Twitter, explaining he doesn’t always give his cast a heads up about story details, but he does share major plot lines.
“i regret some of my cast feel that the writers are conspiring to ‘keep actors in the dark.’ that’s not the case. we are doing the best we can,” Sutter tweeted. “i love my cast and try to challenge their talent with quality writing and deep, 3-dimensional stories. that effort requires focus and time. perhaps if they were doing a network procedural they’d have a showrunner who could tell them everything and assuage their apprehension. i’m not that guy. SOA is not that show.”
Anyway, they’ve since kissed and made up, blaming everything on the media for putting a negative spin on Charlie’s comment.
Mark Boone Junior arrested for assaulting a cop
TMZ reports that Mark Boone Junior (real name: Mark Hiedrich) was arrested Tuesday afternoon in Glendale, Calif., for allegedly assaulting a traffic cop who pulled him over.
Authorities say it was a routine traffic stop until Boone got nasty. Backup was called and he was ultimately arrested on suspicion of assaulting an officer and resisting arrest.
Drugs or alcohol were not a factor in the incident, according to Glendale Police Department.

Film School Rejects watched the screener for the season premier. Here’s what they have to say:
We join Jax and the rest of the Charming charter a few days after Abel’s kidnapping. And as you would imagine, Jax is distraught, and emotionally lost. By the end of the episode he’s going to be forced to make a choice. Show the rest of the SOA that he can lead them and will do anything to get his son back, or step out of the way.
Everyone in law enforcement will make an attempt to find Abel and Gemma this season. But the real fight for survival is between Clay and Stahl. Clay lays it all out on the table for Stahl, and she will be left with only one option for sake of herself, and everyone around her.
We also learn the current fate of Gemma. She’s still on the lamb with Tig at her side. But Gemma, for the good of the club will stop at nothing to break away from her SOA escorts. All leading up to a moment that will change the show forever. Before the episode is over, you will learn the roots of Gemma Teller Morrow.
This season will also put Deputy Hale in the hot seat as Chief of Police. And let me tell you, this is the move we have all been waiting for. This is the one thing that can bring SAMCRO down, for good. And by the end of the premiere, his decisions will reach a tipping point for everyone.
