Here is an excerpt:

The series Ball created based on the books, True Blood, has successfully been set up at HBO and it would be fair to call the results a phenomenon. The cable network is so pleased with Ball and company that, Ball relates, “I just closed a deal to show-run [True Blood] for two more seasons, so I would assume that [the series is at minimum] going through Season Four.”

”When I read the books I got sort of addicted to the story,” he says. ”Charlaine created this world that is constantly surprising and funny and terrifying and sometimes really heartbreaking, and I thought it would be a television show I would watch – that’s really all I can do.”

The Hook has an interview with Alan Ball.

Here is an excerpt:

Appropriately, Ball discovered the novels while waiting for a dental appointment. At a bookstore, he was amused by the tagline for Harris’ Dead Until Dark– “Maybe having a vampire for a boyfriend wasn’t such a good idea after all”— and bought the book. “I really just couldn’t put it down,” he says.

Like a vampire guzzling type-O negative, he was hooked. Somewhere around reading the fourth book, he envisioned Harris’ novels as a TV series. “What I really loved,” Ball says, “was that they walked this razor’s edge of tone between romance and the supernatural and horror and comedy and social commentary and Wal-Mart trailer park people… I just found it delightful. It was so escapist and so much fun.”

In a recent interview with Advocate Magazine Alan Ball said he could see Pam getting some girl on girl action. In case you missed the interview you can read it here.

Kristen Bauer, who plays Pam, told E! she is all for it.
This is what she told E!:

“I wouldn’t be surprised,” Bauer said at last night’s Bow Wow Beverly Hills benefit for the Amanda Foundation animal rescue. “I think she’s pansexual.”

“There are so many hot ones, but I’ll pick Ginger,” she said. “Ginger’s hot. Ginger’s fun. She’s a screamer and she’s a blood donor.”

Alan Ball was at Paley fest and talked about season 3 of True Blood. He talked with TV Guide at the event.

Here is some excerpts:

So where does the action pick up at the beginning of Season 3? “I believe [Eric] appears without most of his clothes in the very first episode,” jokes Ball. (But seriously, he says, fans of Eric’s amnesia story line from the books will have to wait until Season 4.)

“Sookie [Anna Paquin] is going to go off in search of Bill [Stephen Moyer], and she will find him,” Ball tells TVGuide.com. But Sookie is in search of much more than just Bill. “There will be more conjecture about what she is and she will be more driven to discover what she is,” said Ball. “She will get closer to the answer.”

Here is an excerpt :

Advocate.com: What initially attracted you to the Sookie Stackhouse novels?
Alan Ball: It was an impulse purchase and it was just so much fun. The minute I finished the first book, I wanted the second one; it was like crack. I got addicted. I guess it was somewhere around the third or fourth book where I thought, This just really holds up, I think this could be a great TV show.

Alan Ball and Sam Trammell give TV Guide some tidbits on what to expect in season 3.

Head on over to TV Guide to get all the scoops.

Here is a little tidbit: (SPOILERS)

Sookie’s background: “Sookie still doesn’t know exactly what she is. She will get closer to figuring out why she has these random powers that show up when they do,” says Ball. (Spoiler alert: In the books, Sookie discovers she has fairy blood running in her.) “She is definitely part of a different race,” adds Ball. “In terms of fairies, like perky fairies with wings, like Tinkerbell, no, they’re not like that. If it is fairies, they’re fierce. They’re not pretty, soft, glamorous, gossamery things. They’re really, really, really powerful and primal creatures.”

Alan Ball talks Season 3 with TV Guide.

Here is an excerpt:

While the rollercoaster relationship of Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) and Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) remains front and center, Ball revealed that several supporting characters will be sharing even more of the spotlight. “Definitely Eric has broken out and is a big important character now. Jessica and Hoyt are still trying to deal with everything that happened to them, and Arlene and Terry are going to have a little bit more of a life and more of a presence on the show.”

There’s also room for guest stars, like Evan Rachel Wood’s vampire queen of Louisiana. “She’ll be back,” promised Ball. “Maybe Zeljko Ivanek, who played the Magister in Season 1 – he might be back. And we do have a lot of fun new characters.”
