Right before The Twilight Saga: New Moon star Kellan Lutz began filming for 2008’s Twilight, he filmed an HBO series entitled Generation Kill. That series has been nominated for an Emmy in the category of “Miniseries” alongside Little Dorrit.

The series starred “True Blood” star Alexander Skarsgard, James Ransome, Lee Tergesen, Jon Huertas, Stark Sands, Billy Lush, Jonah Lotan, Wilson Bethel, Pawel Szajda, Marc Menchaca, Rey Valentin, Lutz, and many others, and had a total of seven episodes (Lutz appeared in all seven).

Generation Kill has been said to be “both ambitious and rife with a casualness of daily war routines that lulls the viewer into the story line. It tells a big story through myriad small characters (defined well enough to be enriching, not just paper cutouts).”

Generation Kill was also nominated for “Outstanding Art Direction for a Miniseries or a Movie,” “Outstanding Casting For A Miniseries, Movie Or A Special,” “Outstanding Cinematography For A Miniseries Or Movie,” “Outstanding Directing For A Miniseries, Movie Or A Dramatic Special,” “Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing For A Miniseries Or A Movie,” “Outstanding Sound Editing For A Miniseries, Movie Or A Special,” “Outstanding Sound Mixing For A Miniseries Or A Movie,” “Outstanding Special Visual Effects For A Miniseries, Movie Or A Special,” and “Outstanding Writing for a Miniseries, Movie or a Dramatic Special.”
