HBO has released a poster for Alan Ball’s upcoming HBO series True Blood. In addition to creating Six Feet Under, Ball won an Adademy Award for America Beauty, and directed the upcoming film adaptation of Towelhead. True Blood is based on Charlaine Harris’ ‘Southern Vampire’ novel series.
The series follows the world of vampires set in small-town Louisiana. Apparently the vampires are able to co-exist with humans by drinking a Japanese-manufactured synthetic blood. The vampire sex scenes in the pilot are ‘Exorcist’-caliber disturbing. Hey! We’re so there!
The series is set to premiere on HBO starting September 7th 2008.
And do check out a higher-res version of the poster… after the jump…
“The vampire sex scenes in the pilot are ‘Exorcist’-caliber disturbing. Hey! We’re so there!” heheh I’m liking it already!
True Blood resembles Heroes at first glance (just rented the first episode from Blockbuster), though it still feels mostly original… for some reason this show makes me want to eat Cajun food and drink cheap beer
