Like An Addict, I Need Me Some Blood
True Blood that is…
Occasionally, I strike out across the plains, tundras and hills of the internet for updates of some of my most anticipated reads/TV shows/movies. Today saw me hunting down something, anything and everything I could find out interest-wise about True Blood, the show set for HBO based on Charlaine Harris’s blindingly brilliant Sookie Stackhouse, Southern Vampire novels. Anyone else trying to cop a True Blood feel probably already knows that Anna Paquin will be playing our fave telepathic waitress, but I just couldn’t squeeze into my brain what she might look like blond. Check out (after scrolling down to the 3rd entry) this entry on HBO’s site for a sorta maybe feel of how she’d look as Sookie. And hot frickin’ damn if that doesn’t make me salivate all the more for a taste of this show! Garrrr!
Now, beloved fellow fans, go here (4th entry down) to read Harris’s take on the show. Alas, it seems as if Six Feet Under creator Alan Ball may be taking some creative license with the storyline…but the addict in me is not caring so much at the moment. Just c’mon already, whenever you’re c’mon on, and debut!

We will see lots of press for this show soon. They are currently filiming a firey episode in Lousiana written by an acclaimed Southern writer Ball sought out for this show. Most of the show is filmed in HWood where Sookie’s home and the bar are on set.
The main hope for me is press for the show will air on other networks and channels besides HBO. I don’t have it currently and how much the show intrigues me will sway me or not in getting HBO (and it’s def working it’s magic on me now). Or I’ll wait for the DVDs, I suppose, which would suck, but thems the breaks.
Hasn’t Alan Ball been in on the project from the beginning? Or is he just writing a few of the episodes, not all of them?
I’ve seen the pictures of the set too on Harris’s website.
