The filming of The Boys has officially started in February but, unexpectedly, Jensen has been in Colorado with his family since then. We know now that Jensen is finally in Toronto and he has started his quarantine of 2 weeks, required by the canadian government, before starting filming his new character. Soldier Boy is expected to be introduced in the first episode of season 3 but due to COVID-19 they may have organised differently the filming according to the groups of actors. Jensen shared a photo yesterday which signalize the begginning of his quarantine, with big hair and beard, a lot more than what we have seen a few weeks ago. We remind you that The Boys crew asked him to grow his hair and beard as a preparation for his character.
Last month, while talking with Senator Cory Booker, Jensen revealed that the producers had to change some things in the last episodes so they could be filmed during the pandemic.
Recently, the executive producers of Supernatural, Andrew Dabb and Robert Singer, talked about what had to be changed. It does not include big spoilers!
Jensen, Jared and Robert Singer (who directed the last Supernatural episode) were interviewed by Variety, and they talked about the experience of filming the last two episodes during a pandemic.
The rules included wearing masks at all times, social distancing among the crew and enhanced sanitary procedures. Everyone was tested three times a week, according to Warner Bros. Usually, an episode takes eight days to shoot, but they filmed the two remaining episodes over nine days each to allow for delays. Their longest day was 12 hours.
As we announced, Jensen recorded a new episode for Michael Rosenbaum‘s Inside of You podcast. The podcast was published today with a video version. As you will be able to watch and hear, the podcast was recorded during the quarantine Jensen did at the beginning of August in Vancouver before starting filming the last episodes of Supernatural. During around 1 hour and a half, Jensen and his old friend talked about the pandemic and some curious topics. You can watch the video with the podcast below and some highlights of what we found more interesting. The episode can also be listened to in iTunes or Spotify.
Confirming what we posted yesterday, Jensen told Michael he will keep one of the Impalas of the show. The podcast could have brought the breaking news if it was released before the press release. Here he revealed more details. Jensen had been talking about keeping the Impala with the production for about two years and in this last year they added that to the contract. As we told you, there are several cars which were used to film the show. They offered one to Jared and at the time of the podcast Jensen did not know whether he had accepted it or not. Jensen will keep the main car, the one they call the “hero car” which, in film industry, corresponds to the one used to film close-up shots with actors. Jensen confirmed he will send it to Austin and he will add a radio and an air conditioning system, which is essential in Texas. The car will be cleaned but he will keep all the original details of the car.
He also talked about his future projects, not revealing anything related with The Boys since the podcast was recorded before the official announcement. He confirmed he is planning carefully his future projects. He does not want to do something out of what his fans are used to see, but he wants to choose interesting and challenging roles.
He revealed the origin of the Radio Company name for his band. It was inspied by Jensen’s favorite coffee shop in Austin which is called Radio Coffee and also by the fact that they wanted to create music to make you company.
While answering to a fan question, he confessed he have never seen the Harry Potter movies and he is hoping to watch them with his children when they are old enough. He has already tried to watch them with Justice Jay, who is 7 years old now, but he admitted she is still too young.
Jared is the guest of the upcoming episode of the podcast Inside of You.
The filming of the last and 15th season of Supernatural were suspended in March for an undetermined period of time due to COVID-19 pandemic. The target dates to film the remaining episodes of the show, the last two of the show, were now revealed.
The cast and the crew of the show should resume filming during 4 weeks, from August 18 to September 11. This means Jensen and his co-workers might head back to Vancouver soon since they need to carry out the Canadian government-mandated 14-day self-quarantine before start filming. Also, it seems the production crew had already started working on the episodes left to edit.
The last 7 episodes of Supernatural should air this Fall.
The pandemic situation in the state of Texas (where Jensen lives) has been getting worse and since a few days ago masks are mandatory in public places. Danneel posted a photo of her and Jensen wearing masks and appealed to the importance of using them.
@danneelackles512: It’s not political, it’s polite, and it’s our best defense! Mask up and help keep yourself and those around you safe! #maskon #wearadamnmask
