Here is our first look at the actor in the upcoming supernatural thriller 7500, about passengers on a flight from L.A. to Tokyo who encounter something far more sinister than turbulence on the trans-Pacific journey.

“It’s a haunted house movie on an airplane,” says Kwanten.

“I play a character who is having a very rough time in his marriage. It’s on the rocks and they’re in the last weeks really. They’re taking the trip only because their best friends prepaid for these tickets. They’re doing it as a favor.”

When bizarre occurrences begin overtaking the flight, “the passengers must choose to [either] band together or become loose cannons and start looking out for themselves. It’s a survival-of-the-fittest type thing,” Kwanten says.

Co-stars include Jerry Ferrara (Entourage, third from right), Nicky Whelan (Scrubs, second from the right), and Scout Taylor-Compton (the Halloween remakes, right) while Amy Smart (Shameless, left) plays Kwanten’s wife.

What exactly happens on board the flight? The actor says he doesn’t want to say too much, at risk of spoiling it, but hints that painful moments from their pasts begin to manifest themselves on the plane. “We deal with our problems and conflicts of the past and try to find a way to overcome that,” Kwanten says.

7500, directed by The Grudge filmmaker Takashi Shimizu, comes out Aug. 31.

True Blood season 5 may still be months away, but that doesn’t mean that fans have to wait that long for some teases about what’s coming up for their favorite characters. Ryan Kwanten has dropped some spoilers about his character and Jessica.

For its first Valentine’s Day episode, Fox’s New Girl is getting a hot-blooded addition courtesy of True Blood’s Ryan Kwanten (aka Jason Stackhouse). In the February 14 episode, Zooey Deschanel’s Jess goes cruising at a bar in search of an emotion-free one-night stand and encounters Ryan’s Oliver. “I save her from choking on a cherry,” teases Ryan, who says Zooey welcomed him on set with open arms. “But he loves talking about food and turns out to be one of the most boring guys she’s ever dated.”

As for his own V-Day history, Ryan tells me, “I’ve been single for so long that Valentine’s Day seems like just another day.” All together now: Awww….

The nights will be far steamier for Mr. Kwanten this summer when True Blood returns for its fifth insane season. “I’m already back shooting,” he says. “Jason is definitely treading into uncharted territories with Jessica. For once, his one-track mind is focused on love.” Wouldn’t it be a shame if his ex-flame — Reverend Newlin’s wife, Sarah — were to reappear in Bon Temps and mess everything up?
