True Blood Rolling Stone's Cover

Holy smokes, are they trying to kill me?  See more behind the scenes photos here.

Pictures from the set of Priest

Holy Vampire mashups! Production on Priest began this week, and a few photos from the set have appeared showing Paul Bettany in costume with the cross on his forehead, just as in the graphic novels. Cam Gigandet (from the Twilight films) is shown in cowboy getup (lots of leather!), so the settting from the books in the Wild West has not changed. Stephen Moyer of True Blood has also signed on to the film, marking the first Twilight - True Blood vampire crossover!

True Blood

Sunday night on HBO has once again become must watch TV for me. I am officially totally obsessed with the new series True Blood by Alan Ball (Six Feet Under). The series is based on the books by Charlaine Harris, and in them vampires have "come out of the coffin", as it were, with the Japanese invention of a synthetic blood called Tru Blood. Anna Paquin plays a telepathic waitress in a small Louisiana town, and she is attracted to the vampire (Stephen Moyer) who moves into town, because she can't read his mind.

Now, this is HBO we're talking about so there is hot sex, nudity and violence. Did I mention that it's hot? That Stephen Moyer is hot as Bill Compton, the vampire? HBO has aired two episodes so far, and unfortunately iTunes is not carrying it yet. Watch the trailer below. Yowza!
