Comic-Com: More ‘True Blood’ Goodness!!!
During the ‘True Blood’ panel at Comic-con this past weekend, more details about the hit HBO series were revealed!!!
According to Alan Ball, the series has been picked up for a 3rd season (no surprise there) and should introduce us to the Werewolves and the Mississippi Vamps (per the 3rd book “Club Dead”).
Ball aslo noted that the love triangle that is Bill-Sookie-Eric will get more heated during the second half of season 2. A question was asked if the sereies will follow the romantic arcs of the book, Ball’s answer was “Yes”, which is taken seriously means Sookie might be headed for a different Vamp love later on!!!
Charlene Harris (author of the book series) was at the panel as well and said that she just signed a deal to write 3 more “Sookie Stackhouse” novels!! That makes me happy!!
HBO also annouced they are making an actual “Tru Blood” drink!!! The beverage will be a blood orange favored drink sold in the Tru Blood packaging featured on the show. You can pre-order the drink now over at HBO.com, the retail price is $16.00 for a 4-pack and ships on 9/8/09!!!.
