Well, when you are finished with "Breaking Dawn" (sniff, sniff--what are we going to do when it's over?), you've gotten through all the Buffy DVD's (which, if you are a vampire fan, are a must), you can tune in this fall to HBO's new series "True Blood" premiering September 7th and starring Anna Paquin.
Strange advertisements have been popping up everywhere in magazines for the series--without actually mentioning the series title. My favorite that I've seen so far is the one that says "Vampires Are Immoral" under a photograph of, what I assume is, a vampire (he's quite good looking). The copy underneath reads "Support Human Rights. Say NO to the Vampire Rights Amendment."
Then it directs you to this website (which is a marketing ploy for the show, of course): FellowshipoftheSun.org
You can read an interview with the show's director, Alan Ball (of "Six Feet Under") here. The show is apparently based on a series of vampire novels I have actually not read (and I thought I'd read them all) by author Charlaine Harris. Since the CBS series "Moonlight" got cancelled, I'm hoping that this show will fill the vampire void left in my heart post-"Breaking Dawn"...

I think that this will be a fantastic show! It is going to be different from the books by what I've seen already. More sex and nudity. Certainly darker but I think in a good way.
I like Alan Balls work. I think like Stephanie Meyers who knew nothing about vampires before writing Twilight I hope that Alan Balls version with reference will be refreshing and original.
So, sex and nudity are the draws for you with this program?
Might as well watch Cinemax after midnight. Just about the same content.
Quantity instead of quality.
Wow, you all will punish everybody for CBS' mistake.
Wow, some fanatics will run around to any article just because there's a mention of ML there, won't they? THIS is why ML fans have a bad name now and why network employees aren't taking us seriously.
For the record, the TB series is very close to Dead Until Dark. Obviously, changes will be made for the screen but the heart is true...
Yay, does that mean I get to watch sookie and bill and eric as well as read about them? I'm not into the sex part but the stories are always interesting.
