True Blood News - Season 4 news and spoilers

Carrie Preston, True Blood’s fiery haired waitress Arlene, is the latest True Blood actor to pose for the NOH8 campaign that protests the passage of California’s Proposition 8, which bans same-sex marriage.

The NOH8 Campaign is a photographic silent protest created by celebrity photographer Adam Bouska and partner Jeff Parshley. Photos feature subjects with duct tape over their mouths, symbolizing their voices being silenced by Prop 8 and similar legislation around the world, with “NOH8″ painted on one cheek in protest.

Mariana Klaveno & Kristin Bauer participated earlier this year.

TrueBlood-News correspondent, Chris Spirito, attend the Spooky Empire Con in Orlando, FL this weekend. He brings a plethora of goodies from our favorite BonTemps (& Shreveport) residents. In attendance, were Kristin Bauer, Mariana Klaveno & Sam Trammell. Thanks to CS, for being simply awesome.

There was a q&a and some of the information coming out of it was pretty cool. Questions were asked on if there would be or was talk of a True Blood movie, favorite scenes, what’s it like to do nudity (surprised!?) and more. Enjoy the videos below and see more on Chris’ Youtube channel.

The folks at RingCon have just announced a special “Fantasy Night” for Friday, October 14th 2011 that will be held in the hall Gondolin. Wizard students, Hobbits and dwarfs, vampires, werewolves, shape shifters and other creatures of fantastic literature, all are warmly welcome.  Of course civilians are welcome, too. ;-) At the bar, among other drinks, mixed cocktails will be served to match the theme of the night. Their DJ Rick will entertain you with suitable music – a mix between rock, medieval rock, film music and party music, you will hopefully dance the night away and celebrate with us and leave early in the morning. Doors open at 9.30 p.m., the minimum age for participation at Fantasy Night is 16 years, those under 18 must leave the party at 0.00 clock. (I think that means midnight.)

We broke the news back in March about The Carrier, a short film directed by Scott Schaeffer, who is the first assistant director of True Blood. The Carrier features Anna Paquin & Mariana Klaveno while Carrie Preston and Deborah Ann Woll lend their voices in the film.

The film had his world premiere at the Los Angeles International Short Film Festival yesterday, and now you can enjoy the trailer featuring Anna Paquin!

‘The Carrier’ tells the story of a grieving mother dealing with the loss of her philandering son. She discovers a secret that will profoundly influence her life, the lives around her, and ultimately a new understanding of her son.

You can keep up to date on The Carrier’s Facebook page.
