True Blood Films In Mississippi (SPOILERS)
Longwood in Natchez, Mississippi
True Blood crews filmed scenes from four episodes of season 3 in Natchez, Mississippi yesterday, according to The Natchez Democrat. Although the production crew would not comment on what was being filmed, a little speculation suggests that they were exteriors for scenes at the King of Mississippi’s estate. The crews were working at Longwood, an historic antebellum mansion in Natchez. The striking octagonal house seems ideal for the residence of the vampire king, although that is not confirmed.
Another interesting tidbit comes from this quote:
“They decided the series could go for a while, so they started buying set products to sell when the series ended,” Godfrey said. “The man who used to be with the Louisiana film commission is a Natchez native, and he got them up here antiques shopping.”
It sounds like the creative team behind True Blood are settling in for a nice, long run.
