HBO's True Blood

Recently, I saw a preview of True Blood, a new HBO series that is set to release on September 9 this year. In True Blood, vampires come out of hiding and are living among the humans, and are fighting for equal rights and affirmative actions.

The main cast, Vampire Bill (Stephen Moyer) and Sookie (Anna Paquin) the telepath.

The premise for the vampires to come out of hiding and living among the humans is due to the new Japanese invention, Tru Blood (a substitute for human blood), supposedly enabling the vampires to live without preying on their once upon a time food source, the humans.

I can imagine the many varied and interesting story lines and possible directions for the series to take.

According to news sources, a "rough version of the pilot has been released/leaked online." I cannot imagine that the leak is not part of its viral marketing campaign strategy that True Blood is now well known for through the states... :-)
