Vampire stories are in!

HBO announced that True Blood, a vampire saga starring Anna Paquin as Sookie Stackhouse and Stephen Moyer as Bill, the vampire, will premiere on September 7. It is adapted for television by Alan Ball (“Six Feet Under”) from the popular series of Southern vampire novels by Charlaine Harris.

Set in a small Louisiana town (actually the Santa Monica Mountains northwest of Los Angeles), the edgy series chronicles a time when synthetic blood supplies enable Bill and other vampires to live openly among humans, without necessarily feeding on them.

Interesting. This better be good!
