Rogue Pictures Presents THE UNBORN Now Playing
Alan Ball Talks TRUE BLOOD!
Posted by Todd Brown at 7:23pm.
Posted in Interviews , Drama, Horror, USA & Canada.
It’s shaping up to be an impressive new season at HBO - the first time I’ve been able to say that for a few years - and the show I’m most looking forward to is Alan Ball’s True Blood. Ball, of course, is the creator of Six Feet Under and writer of American Beauty, and with this one he posits a world where vampires have existed in secret beside humans for hundreds of years. Until one day a new synthetic blood allows them to come out of hiding. For the first time humans become aware of their presence and a new social balance must be struck. It’s a fantastic premise, Ball is a great writer and I’m very curious to see how this plays out.
Want to know more? We’ve got Joseph Perez running around the San Diego Comic Con like mad with his video camera and we’ve got a good chunk of the True Blood panel below the break in the Twitch Player.

I saw the screener of the first episode and was so embarrassingly bad that I can’t believe it’s gonna get airtime on HBO.

I also saw the screener and I have to disagree with Gunde. It was admittedly very rough around the edges and needs some judicious editing to get the pace right (some of the scenes that called for tension were just languid) but there were some fresh ideas and the start of an interesting mythos, which reminded me most of the tv series Alien Nation. Its also refreshing to note that the series isn’t about a vampire cop or PI for once. Plus the ending was a pretty nasty cliffhanger and i want to see the resolution!

Also worth noting that one character has been recast since that first pilot. Never judge based on early leaked stuff ...
