Alan Ball: “There’s a big body count this season” on True Blood
Fancast has an exclusive new interview with True Blood creator and executive producer Alan Ball, who reveals some juicy details about the upcoming season.
Alan Ball is the genius behind ‘True Blood.’ The show’s Emmy and Oscar-winning writer and executive producer is responsible for every second that you see on screen. So when he granted Fancast an interview, we were thrilled. Ball revealed that this is going to be the bloodiest, most intense season of ‘True Blood’ yet, promising, “There are several moments in season three where you’ll see something you have never seen on television before.”
Be prepared: all the times will not be good in Bon Temps. “There’s a big body count this season,” he says. Though he would not reveal who would be kicking the bucket, or how, he promises that at least one important character will perish. Ball understandably wants the audience to be surprised by every plot twist that he worked so hard to craft, but he shared a few tidbits to help fans survive the agonizingly long wait until Sunday’s premiere.
Bill and Sookie Find Absence Does Not Always Make The Heart Grow Fonder
Bill [Stephen Moyer] and Sookie [Anna Paquin] are torn apart when Bill is kidnapped. Eric is an immediate suspect, but is he actually the culprit? “Somebody took Bill and obviously she’s trying to find him. It gets way more complicated from there. It’s not necessarily who you thought might have taken him. There are different reasons at work. It all comes together at the end. But I will say that Bill and Sookie’s relationship is tested to a degree it has never been tested before.” Ball is alluding to the arrival of sexy werewolf Alcide. “He’s just broken up with his girlfriend. He’s single. Sookie’s heartbroken because Bill’s been kidnapped and she can’t find him. And, hello, they’re two gorgeous people in tight quarters. Sparks will fly.”
Is anyone else getting really nervous about what’s in store for this season? All of a sudden, I feel like being a fan of True Blood is putting me on at the edge of what television can be and do. Thank goodness it’s Alan Ball taking us on this ride!
