Video ~ How old are you?


In this video clip from True Blood, Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) asks Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) the question we all must ask our Vampires......... Exactly how old are you? I like how it leads to Bill talking about his experience in the Civil War, which gives us more of a glimpse into his personality. So sweet that he simply wants to make Sookie happy. As usual, she ends the scene on a funny note ~ "that's creepy." :)

True Blood tv show renewed for 2nd season


Stephanie, from the Hollywood Reporter, sent me this info. HBO has already renewed True Blood for another season.

Oooooo.... one quibble.... the show's action is set in Bon Temps, LA, not New Orleans as stated in the article. As you can guess, I'd love to see them take a trip to NOLA :)

HBO orders second season of 'True Blood'
By Andrew Wallenstein

HBO is ordering a second season of new series "True Blood" after just two episodes.

The series, which follows the adventures of vampires in New Orleans, will go back into production early next year in anticipation of a new batch of episodes for the summer of 2009.

While the premiere episode of the series received a modest audience, HBO cited an "unprecedented" 24% increase in viewers for the second installment. In addition, the "Blood" premiere drew 4 million when additional runs of that episode were tallied.

"We are absolutely thrilled that the critics and our viewers have embraced 'True Blood,'" said Michael Lombardo, president of programming group and West Coast operations at HBO. "Alan Ball has done it again--made an addictive series that is unlike any other."

"I am thrilled to be able to continue to work with such a talented group of writers, cast and crew to explore the characters and world created by Charlaine Harris in her novels," said Alan Ball, executive producer of "Blood."

Video ~ True Blood : Invitation to the Set


True Blood premieres a week from today on HBO. I am eager to check out their Vampire world. Funny.... the lead actors on this tv show are also from other countries. Anna Paquin (Sookie Stackhouse) is from New Zealand and Stephen Moyer (Bill Compton) is from England. Ooooooooo ~ and Ryan Kwanten (Sookie's brother, Jason) is Australian.

In this video, we get a peek behind the scenes on the set of True Blood. Anna Paquin, Charlaine Harris (author of the book series on which the program is based), Ryan Kwanten, Alan Ball (executive producer & creator), Stephen Moyer, Sam Trammell (Sam Merlotte) are all interviewed. They tell us a bit about what the series has in store.

We can watch & rate True Blood when it debuts next Sunday, September 7th, 2008. Please, let me know what you think of the show :)
