Today it was announced that Alan Ball will be adapting the "Southern Vampire" book series by Charlaine Harris for HBO. The pilot episode will have Ball writing, directing as well as executive producing the project. The cast includes some familar faces in Anna Paquin, Brook Kerr and Stephen Moyer.
"True Blood" takes place in a world in which vampires can buy Japanese-made synthetic blood. Their integration into a small Louisiana town causes quite a stir, and a love story ensues between Bull Comton (Moyer), a vampire, and Sookie Stackhouse (Paquin), an innocent waitress who can read people's minds.
Kerr's role is said to be that of "a beautiful, smart, articulate young woman" who takes a job in the bar with Paquin's character Sookie. I am largely not that big of a fan of romantic horror especially when it comes to vampires so whether or not this pilot will get off the ground is unknown at this point. We'll keep you updated.
