Jensen Ackles latest media blitz: Why he didn't tell Jared Padalecki about the 'Supernatural' Prequel

Jensen Ackles is full of shit.

He's just lucky that Jared decided to play it cool, and didn't blow him out of the water.

Jensen was being 100% shady and two-faced by hiding his Supernatural plans from Jared.

Now months later, he's still trying to do damage control for that fuck up.

He's gross.

Padalecki is only 39? Wow, I thought he was already early/mid forties.

Does the world really need a Supernatural spin off after the series already had 25 seasons?

That story has the smell of MENDACITY…

I wish Jared had DOXXED Jensen at the time Jensen made the prequel announcement.

That feud would have been delicious to watch.

This does nothing other than prove that (A) Padalecki has the emotional maturity of a five year old and that (B) Jensen and Jared aren't really that close. I watched Jensen's Rosenbaum podcast and the reason he gave for not telling Jared (superstition) was silly. If Jensen and Jared were as close as fans want to believe they are, Jensen would've told Jared.

Jared actually made Buzzfeed's list of most terrible celebrity today for failing to support Misha Collins's book and being just a generally shitty person.

Soooo much d list drama.

Lol, seriously?

Damn, you gotta love Jared for being such a colossal prick! He worked with Misha for over 10 years, for fuck's sake.

Looks like the wheels are coming off the Supernatural wagon.

Kiss the conventions goodbye.

A reminder, as Spotify disintegrates before our eyes, that Jared is a Joe Rogan fan who vacationed in Italy at the height of the Delta wave last year.

R7 what a douchebag.

They need to get a room and fuck each other and get it over with...

Like so many kids, when I was young I was into Frankenstein, Dracula, Wolfman, the Mummy, etc.. I loved the old films with Bella Lugosi and Lon Chaney, and even the Hammer Studio films with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, so when Supernatural came on in 2005 I watched. I was hooked for a few seasons, but then it got "churchey" with angels and what not so I stopped watching.

Somehow I ended up listening to Jared and Jensen on a podcast a few days ago, and they were talking about auditioning for Sam and Dean Winchester. My God, Jared just sounded utterly insufferable. He was talking about how when he first read for the role of Sam the executives were like, "Oh, well, he's great but we were hoping for somebody more 'sara-bella-lur' (Jared was trying to say the word [italic]cerebral[/italic]), like a young David Duchovny." So then Jared goes on to say that his agent called them up and said "Well, you know Jared's [italic]really[/italic] smart and he was planning to 'go pre-med' and what not, and he's a National Merit Scholar." So Jared is essentially trying to brag on this podcast about how smart he is, but there's absolutely nothing online in the National Merit Scholar database to support his claim. (If you Google it, you get nothing but hits showing that his manager said he was a National Merit Scholar. Nothing conclusive whatsoever.) Then, two minutes later in the podcast, Jared is talking about how when he and Jensen auditioned they were the only ones in the room, and he said, "Me and him were the only ones there."

Me and him???

I'm sorry but he's an insufferable douchebag who's dumb as shit.

Padalecki is about as smart as my special needs cat.

On second thought my cat is smarter.

And from what I remember, all of them seem to agree Jared's the "smart one."

R10 maybe Jared was talking about his character, not himself.

Misha Collins has a No H8 portrait (more than one, in fact).

Jared and Jensen, to this day, do not.

Jared claims that Castiel's coming out scene wasn't gay. Jensen claims it's "open to interpretation." Misha is the only one who acknowledges the reality that his character is mlm. In fact, he wore a rainbow flag T-shirt to the Supernatural convention this weekend.

Jared and Jensen are either personally homophobic or chasing the homophobic dollar. In the end, it doesn't matter which.

I listened to the same podcast. It's the Supernatural Then and Now with Rob Benedict. Padalecki definitely said he was a National Merit Scholar. He's an idiot to lie about something so obvious. He is NOT a National Merit Scholar.

Castiel isn't gay. Get over it.

Castiel is definitely in love with Dean, moron at R16.

Misha even said so.

Also, Jared and Gen are gay friendly.

Jensen and Danneel are the fundie bigots.

I'm not disputing your take on Jensen and whatever his wife's name is; however, Genevieve Padalecki is on record having donated money to Mitt Romney's presidential campaign. Mitt is one of the most anti-gay candidates to run for president.

Jared was definitely referring to himself, R13, not his character. R14, the gossip on this site years ago was that Jared had agreed to do a photo for the NoH8 Campaign but Jensen refused. This was, I think, before Misha even joined the cast. The studio then asked Jared not to participate in the campaign because if he did and Jensen didn't, it wouldn't be a good look for the show. There was a very believable poster on the site who claimed to have worked as a photographer's assistant, who said that he had heard that Jensen wasn't a dick about it but just claimed it was against his religious beliefs to support "that" kind of lifestyle.

[R16] The writer of the scene was gay and wrote it as such, the actor who is still under contract confirmed it's gay, it's fucking gay. The only issue is what you see of Dean's response and how they handled the super hell topic. Moving ON.

Man o man o man, this washed up has been and his little red headed cunt whore wife have a world of hurt coming their way.

R17 and R20 you are both full of shit.

Never watched the show and only remember Jensen from DOOL way back in the day....

But it sounds like he went out of his way to deny Jared a producing opportunity on a show in which he should be involved. If 2 people co-star on a show for 15 years, why should only one of them profit on a prequel? It's obvious Jensen developed and pitched the idea going through great lengths to keep Jared in the dark.

I wish they would do a Supernatural re-boot.

It's' time.

I miss the show so much.

R24 0/10

I think a subpar IQ is a prerequisite for watching anything on the CW.

Bwahahahahahaha, SCREW YOU R25!!!

You thought that post R24 was a joke? Well the joke is on YOU.

[quote] The CW Orders Pilots for ‘Supernatural’ Prequel Series ‘The Winchesters,’ ‘Walker’ Origin Story and ‘Gotham Nights

The CW is staying in the “Supernatural” business. TheWrap has learned the network has ordered three pilots, including the one for “SPN” prequel series “The Winchesters.”

Also ordered were pilots for “Gotham Knights” and “Walker: Independence.” Additionally, they’ve ordered six additional episodic scripts for “Zorro,” a series in development for the network. A decision on “Zorro” will be made at a later date.

“The Winchesters” hails from former “SPN” star Jensen Ackles, while “Walker: Independence” comes from his TV “SPN” brother, Jared Padalecki, the star of the current “Walker” series on the network.

Here’s a logline for “The Winchesters”: Before Sam and Dean, there was John and Mary. Told from the perspective of narrator Dean Winchester (Ackles), “The Winchesters” is the epic, untold love story of how John met Mary and how they put it all on the line to not only save their love, but the entire world.

Executive producers on the show are Jensen Ackles and Danneel Ackles (via Chaos Machine and WBTV deal). The show is produced by Chaos Machine Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television and CBS Studios.

“Walker: Independence,” is described as an origin story set in the late 1800s. It follows Abby Walker, an affluent Bostonian whose husband is murdered before her eyes while on their journey out West. On her quest for revenge, Abby crosses paths with Hoyt Rawlins, a lovable rogue in search of purpose. Abby and Hoyt’s journey takes them to Independence, Texas, where they encounter diverse, eclectic residents running from their own troubled pasts and chasing their dreams. Our newfound family will struggle with the changing world around them, while becoming agents of change themselves in a town where nothing is what it seems.

Seamus Fahey is executive producer, and wrote the teleplay and co-wrote the story the show is based on. Current “Walker” EP and showrunner Anna Fricke is also an executive producer and story co-writer. Padalecki is an executive producer, as are Dan Lin, Lindsey Liberatore (Rideback) and Laura Terry (Pursued By a Bear). CBS Studios is the studio behind the show.

Here’s the logline for the Berlanti-verse “Gotham Nights,” which is not a spinoff of “Batwoman”: In the wake of Bruce Wayne’s murder, his rebellious adopted son forges an unlikely alliance with the children of Batman’s enemies when they are all framed for killing the Caped Crusader. And as the city’s most wanted criminals, this renegade band of misfits must fight to clear their names. But in a Gotham with no Dark Knight to protect it, the city descends into the most dangerous it’s ever been. However, hope comes from the most unexpected of places as this team of mismatched fugitives will become its next generation of saviors known as the Gotham Knights.

Chad Fiveash & James Stoteraux are writers and executive producers. Natalie Abrams is a writer and co-executive producer. Danny Cannon is the director and EP of the pilot. Other executive producers include Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and David Madden. The show is produced by Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television, based on characters created for DC by Bob Kane with Bill Finger.

Wow, Jensen is really making things happen.

I guess having money, a good reputation, and some connections in Hollywood can get you far.

Now we know why Jensen is doing a media blitz.

A "media blitz" R29? For Christ's sake, he went on an F Lister's podcast and sent out some Tweets! 🙄

[quote]A "media blitz" [R29]? For Christ's sake, he went on an F Lister's podcast and sent out some Tweets! 🙄

LMAO, r30. It's creepy the fascination a tiny group of people have with this show and its unknown actors. If they were super hot I would understand but they aren't. And they can't act for shit.

Haha fuck off, you hateful beast at R30!!!

Jensen wins.

Will Jared and Jensen get royalties from this, because of their characters?

Or is it all Kripke?

Fags.

The longhaired one must be the bottom..

R33 it's all Kripke.

R27 it's time for you to take your meds.

[quote] The longhaired one must be the bottom..

Correct.

HOT!

F List.

LOL, worse than F List.

Shut your fucking mouths, R40 and R41!

We've had enough of you two hateful BEASTS!

No word on Misha Collins coming out as bisexual from homophobe Jensen Ackles?

I thought he and Misha were supposed to be close friends?

I was a National Merit Scholar and I don’t remember seeing Jared at any of the parties.

They never have been, it’s only the deluded, crazy people that think Jensen and that thirsty fucker are good friends.

That has never been the case.

R43 why does Jensen need to say something? It would be old news to him (and the rest of the SPN cast).

Good point, R46.

Which leads anyone with a brain to believe this is just made-up shit to appeal to whomever he’s trying to appeal to.

I find this whole kerfluffle about the prequel especially hilarious considering that no one, not even the die hard fans gives a shit. I predict it either won't be picked up by the CW or it'll die a quick death.

What's really funny is that for years the deannuts kept crying about how Jensen was being held back by doing SPN, and the as soon as he was released from this cruel slavery he'd be snapped up by Marvel for a lead role and take his rightful place on the A list. Then the show ends, Jared immediately stars on Walker, which has been picked up for a third season and a prequel, Misha Collins wrote a best selling book, parlayed his home cooking videos into a PBS show, and will have a major role in a new CW series. While Jensen had to beg his old boss for a job on The Boys, did a low budget movie which, if it's ever completed, will probably go straight to video, and is working on a prequel nobody asked for. Even Jim Beaver (Bobby) is starring on a sitcom while Richard Speight (Gabriel) has a new career as a director.

So, according to Jensen himself, Jared was involved in a very serious car accident.

He was not driving but apparently the air bags “Pack a punch”. So he’s at home recovering.

Jensen is a homophobe.

Not surprising that he hasn't congratulated Misha on coming out.

Jared and Misha doing CW shows isn't really something to brag about. Walker is terrible and Misha's role is in another unnecessary Batman spin-off.
