There have been some casting audition tapes that have floated around for quite some time for Blood Wars, but this one, has actress Melanie Liburd auditioning as Semira, that has rather interesting details regarding the possible original script for 'Blood Wars', which we know changed a great deal to the final product. So... Here are some highlights.
-Thomas arrives at the Eastern Coven but instead of alone, Selene is with him, but also Eve, who was clearly going to have a bigger role. Though other auditions, revealed Selene was still going to travel to the Nordic Coven, leaving Eve behind, presumably at the Eastern Coven. -While briefly, the humans and the conflict from 'Awakening' was going to be mentioned, I so wish this would have been in the final product as it would have gave Part 4 more validity. -A small detail, but seems to be a great debate of how long Blood Wars takes place after Awakening. Semeria comments that she's waited 13 years, thus placing it 1 year after Awakening. -Now the big stuff... While the other audition tapes do mention Marius, and while it could have been revealed it was him, but I also believe awhile back that from the writer, that Lucian was suppose to return in Blood Wars, this confirms it, that Lucian was in fact going to be the main Lycan and somehow survived, while it presents a lot of questions, I would have loved this. It also opens the last big story, that I'm sure would have sat much better with fans... -Michael was ALIVE, but Lucian was holding him captive, more than likely would have used his Blood to become a hybrid. This would have clearly been a big story point and even if he wouldn't have had a large role, would have included him in the overall story, and having Selene not only protecting Eve, but attempting to rescue Michael, would have been so much better.
Overall all this would have worked so much better, and while I really enjoyed Blood Wars, this would have been amazing.
