Cut exclusively for this past weekend’s San Diego Comic-Con was the first ever footage from Darren Lynn Bousman’s Mother’s Day.

The Comic-Con scene opens with Mother walking into a room where three of the stars are tied up to a pole with plastic wrap. She begins to taunt the male eerily as she gnashes her teeth together, “It’s time for show and tell; I’m gonna show and you ARE gonna tell.”

Mother puts photos of one of the victim’s little boy in front of him. She taunts him with tears of her own welling up, also reminding him of how his son died (apparently running into a street). “Future snuffed out like a candle, and all because of you,” she jabs.

She lights the photo on fire: “If only you paid more attention,” she pushes, as she demands to know where her money is. He insists he knows of no money, which results in a little “hair burning” and a whole lot of screaming.

It was a pretty intense scene that features a really chilling score. For Darren Lynn Bousman, this is shot and edited very different than the Saw films, but still utilizes a lot of hand-held action. After the clip, we’re treated to a violent montage of action including stabbings, gunshots, and plenty of blood.

“You don’t know how lucky you are, running around in the middle of the night…be grateful Queeny didn’t get you,” Mother concludes.

Unfortunately, no video is available online… yet. But you can see a picture (no Deborah) at the source, Bloody Disgusting.

Historically, pop culture is full of vampires who are calm, collected, and more than a little mysterious, which is what makes Deborah Ann Woll on True Blood such a hoot. Her fledgling vamp Jessica is none of those things — instead, she’s equal parts giddy and grossed-out (and blessedly free of those centuries’ worth of wisdom that make most other vampires such a drag). Heading into season three, Woll’s just as much of a delight as ever, and even feature film auteurs like Paul Thomas Anderson are beginning to take note.

What’s in store for Jessica this year — and for Woll herself? Movieline talked to the 25-year-old actress about the third season’s arc and her upcoming projects.

Jessica is my favorite character on the show, but I have to confess that when she was introduced, I worried that she might be really annoying. How do you keep her endearing when she could so easily tip over the other way?
Gosh, first of all, thank you! I’m glad she’s your favorite. The only thing I think you could do wrong with the character is not commit to it, maybe. You know, people do things that are wrong or annoying or inconsiderate. We are not a perfect race — and neither are vampires. [Laughs] I don’t particularly believe that acting is about winning people over or having them like your character.

As a special Halloween treat the cast and crew of Darren Lynn Bousman’s Mother’s Day would like to send you all at Bloody Disgusting a special holiday greeting! Beyond the break you can watch the video card, keep your eyes posted here for news on Mother’s Day soon. In the flick three brothers on the run from the law head for home, only to discover that their mother lost the house in a foreclosure. Mother ingeniously orchestrates her sons’ escape, teaching the house’s new owners and their guests a few lessons along the way.

Feartnet.com has an interview with Mother’s Day director, Darren Lynn Bousman. Here’s the excerpt where he talks about Deb:

You have Deborah Ann Woll in the cast too. She has a big following because of True Blood. Did you find her because you’re a fan of that show?

I’m a huge fan of the show. Here’s the deal… I try to do this with all of my castings: I cast people who I want to work with or I’m fans of. That was the same thing with Deborah Ann Woll. The funny thing was I never went after her. Partially because I never in a million years thought she would do a movie like this or want to be involved in a movie like this. So she was the very first person we cast. It is kind of a funny story. I was in the middle of going through my wish list for Mothers, Ikes, and Addleys and the casting director said, “I put together a tape of Lydias for you.” I said, “Okay, great.” I looked at the tape, and the very first one that had come in was Deborah Ann Woll. I see it and I was like, “Oh my God, she’s perfect!” I mean immediately, from frame 1, she embodied everything I wanted in that character. So when everyone got called back and when she walked in the room I was like, “You know what, don’t read, you’ve got the role. I just wanted to see you in person to confirm what I saw on that tape.” She’s amazing. I mean she’s got this presence; she’s going to be huge. I think that True Blood is the first of many amazing things we’re going to see with her.

The site Bloody Disgusting bring us today with the first ‘official’ look of Deborah on upcoming “Mother’s Day”.
