True Blood News - Season 4 news and spoilers

DK Filming in Louisiana

DitigalKitchen, the company who brought the memorable title sequence for Six Feet Under, was who Alan Ball trusted for True Blood. The two shows are actually quite similar in terms of content, but the execution couldn’t be more different: “True Blood is a much more wild,  unrestrained ride. Our assignment was to distill the humor, sex, violence and sweaty, sultry vibe of Louisiana – and oh yeah, don’t show vampires.”

DK talks about the various locations and styles used in their amazing sequence, which plays like its own documentary of the weird and dirty South. They also give due credit to the film Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus, which was something of an inspiration. While not for everyone, if you love True Blood‘s opening credits, you might want to check it out.

Due to the thousands of visits we are receiving every day -yeah season 3 waiting is killing us!- we are moving the site to a more powerful server. Moving shouldn’t take more than 24 hours to complete, but during time you may experience some difficulties (comments not updating etc). So we beg your pardon for any inconvenience and we hope that this process will be completed rapidly and without incident for our treasured readers… Thank you!

@sookiebontemps (“True Blood” character Sookie Stackhouse)

As part of its viral marketing campaign, HBO’s “True Blood” has a whole coven of its characters on Twitter, tweeting away as if they’re real people. (Well, at least as real as people you only know on the Internet).

From Viking vamp Eric to sassy Merlotte’s Bar cook Lafayette, they’re all there. One of the most active is this one, from the perspective of the main character from Charlaine Harris’ Sookie Stackhouse novels, on which “True Blood” is based.

Sample tweet: Pullin’ into the @MerlottesBar parkin’ lot and it’s already lookin’ pretty full for a Wednesday. Tweet y’all once I get settled in.

Stephen Root as Vampire Eddie

Stephen Root, who portrayed mainstreaming, Lafayette loving, Vampire Eddie in season one of True Blood and had a cameo appearance in season two, has landed a multi-episode role in Fox’s 24 according to the Hollywood Reporter.

57-year-old Root has been cast to play Ben Prady, a Department of Corrections Officer who is trying to find a missing parolee.

We here at TB-N sincerely hope that locating the missing parolee is an easier task for Stephen than finding his missing stapler.

EJ and Deborah

Many of us were bitten by the charity bug with the Stephen Moyer Brentwood Theatre fund in Essex (UK). Donations came from all over the boards to honor one of their patron Stephen Moyer.

This started our charity addiction. As we hold our certificates in our hands and wait patiently for our bricks the urge to help more still ticks within us. Now our “nests” come together to help EJ Scott who is the beloved boyfriend of Deborah Ann Woll. EJ has a rare eye disease called Choroideremia. This disease runs in his family and has already affected many of his loved ones. Choroideremia (CHM) is a rare inherited disorder that causes blindness due to degeneration of the choroid and retina.

In addition to CHM, EJ has a weight problem and is losing weight for charity. You can sponsor him and help him reach his goal of 60lbs. As an example, when he reaches his goal of 60lbs, a .50¢ per lb sponsorship will make your charitable contribution $30.00 You can read and track EJ progress on his blog site Losing weight for charity and myself Or his facebook page EJ’s Facebook. The donations can be made directly to The Choroideremia Research Foundation by Paypal or check; you can also become a member of the foundation by donation $20.00. For more information please research the foundations site The Choroideremia Research Foundation website.

Imagine seeing life through a straw. As the disease progresses it erodes the peripheral vision, soon EJ and members of EJ’s family will be seeing life through a drink string straw then eventually that small tunnel of vision will close into blackness. YOU, can help stop the progression and save the sight EJ has now. You can ensure his 5 year old nephew Liam is able to drive when he becomes of age.

You can help the future Scott’s not yet born, and many like their family, be cured from this disease right in the womb. Please, donate now.

I recently had the pleasure of hearing from EJ and he is very excited about our charity mission. We will be updating EJ’s progress as well as tracking our donations on our wiki site Bill’s Wiki’d Women. Many new things to come so keep checking back with us and remember, no amount is to small. The Choroideremia Research Foundation was nice enough to create us our own donation button, thank you Cory. So click away and lets see if we can fill their email inbox with donations.
