Meeting With Charlaine Harris On The HBO Series True Blood Season Three

In 2008 HBO will air the television series True Blood ( tentatively scheduled for March ) based mostly on the Southern Vampire mysteries.

1. Though you’re the author of the Southern Vampire Mysteries you’ve had to turn over creative control to Alan Ball ( producer of six Feet Under ). You manifestly have a large amount of confidence in him, but how were you able to let go of your own creation?

It will not be my creation any more when it’s on TV. It will be Alan’s creation, and a very different animal. I am looking forward to seeing the books from a totally different viewpoint.

2. Producer Alan Ball is definitely hot for the Southern Vampire enigmas. What info have you shared with him on developing the characters, particularly Sookie.

I think all the sharing i need to do is right there in the text. When I was making an attempt to decide who to go with, of the offers in front of me, Alan was the person who convinced me he understood what I was doing with the books.

3. Have you made any suggestions for the True Blood stories? Will any of the books be a basis for an episode?

The pilot episode is Chapter One of Book One, “Dead till Dark.” The plan now is to follow the books chronologically.

4. Has filming begun? Have you been on the set, and if so what was it like for you?

Filming starts June 7 ( 2007 ), last I heard. I have been on the set even though it was still being built, and I have met some of the production crew. Without exception, they struck me with their questions, their interest, and their knowledge of the books.

5. What do you think about the actors who have been cast? What do you believe they may bring to their roles?

I am assured that Alan and his casting director have picked the right folks for the right roles.
