[TV] HBO Destroyed “True Blood”; The Pain Goes Away In 2014
I told you two seasons ago that HBO had destroyed “True Blood”, and even outlined what they did to take the astounding vampire drama that was basically turned into “Heroes” (here’s the article from August 2011).
Now, HBO has announced that the 2014 seventh season will be the last, ending a few seasons bloated with nonsensical creatures and idiotic character arcs. I stopped watching awhile back, am I wrong in saying that nearly everyone in Bon Temp is now a creature?
Variety reports that the much-needed departure will come following a 10-episode season that will premiere next summer. Brian Buckner, who succeeded Alan Ball as showrunner, will preside over the final campaign of the series based on Charlaine Harris’ books.
“True Blood” was nominated for a drama series Emmy in 2010 and delivered a Golden Globe for lead actress Anna Paquin in 2009. That was before the show writers decided to turn it into Twilight…
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
