HBO + Vampires = “True Blood”
English actor Stephen Moyer will join Anna Paquin in “True Blood,” an HBO drama pilot based on the “Southern Vampire” book series.
“Six Feet Under” creator Alan Ball wrote the project, and will direct and executive produce.
“True Blood” takes place in a world where 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.
Brook Kerr (”Passions”) will play a beautiful, smart, articulate young woman who takes a job in the bar with Sookie.

Her eyes look high, though I’ve never read anything about her being a drug user. Hmm, I wonder, though.

I love the southern vampire series…. but anna paquin as sookie? come on!! Sookie is supposed to be a really pretty, busty, little blonde. And as much as I like anna’s acting… she’s not very pretty, definately not busty, and would certainly not look good as a blonde. Boooo.

I’ve read these books and they are cute, but I’m not sure how well they will translate on TV. Anyone that has read the books have a preconceived notion of what Sookie should look like, and it’s not Anna.

I was totally thrilled to see that they are making an HBO series out of the Sookie books, but the casting…..come on….
Sookie: very pretty, petite, busty, tan and blonde- none of which describes Anna Paquin.
The other’s – no one seems to be even remotely close to the actual descriptions.
As much as I’m thrilled, I’m just as disappointed
MAYBE, just maybe, they’ll prove us wrong….here’s to hoping….

As a long time fan of Charlaine Harris and the Southern Vampire Series, I have to agree with the majority of comments given…Anna Paquin?
Ms. Paquin may be a fine actress but as a petite busty blonde”, she kind of misses the mark. And it is “Bill Compton” not Bull Comton…I am crossing my fingers. I love the series so I would hate to see it trashed…Let’s hope that who ever is doing the writing for this picks up a book from the series and reads it.

I love Charlaine Harris’s books and if she
trusts Alan Ball, then we should too.
I am waiting for book number nine from her.
Probably the biggest mistake I made was to
tell my eighty year old parents to watch
TRUE BLOOD! yikes!
I love the shows and hey, I thought Sookie looked very busty in her sundress Sunday night and she is
almost cuter as a blonde. You can’t find real people to look like the way they are described in a book.
I like Stephen Moyer as Bill and even Eric.
All the cast is good for me.
