HBO has been working on the pilot for the new series based on the Southern Vampire series (Sookie Stackhouse). The series will be called TRUE BLOOD. They are currently auditioning people for the roles. The series was developed by "Six Feet Under"creator Alan Ball.Titled "True Blood," it will be based on Charlaine Harris' novels about "vampires in Louisiana."

"True Blood" takes its name from the brand of synthetic blood that the Japanese have patented in Harris’ novels. Vampires can actually drink it, thereby bypassing their need for human blood.

Only problem is I don't get HBO so that means I'll have to wait until they release it on dvd {that is if it does well}and who knows how long that will take.
