New season of HBO’s ‘True Blood’ adds witches, flirts with 3-D

[by LA Times]

[Excerpt]

When “True Blood” returns for its fourth season on HBO June 26, it might have some surprises in store in the future. Like…3-D?

“True Blood’s” cast and producers have always kept the series’ secrets close to the vest, but show creator Alan Ball did tell our brother blog, Hero Complex, that he’s experimented with 3-D. He said he could foresee using the technology in the future, perhaps “for a season premiere or a season finale.”

“It was basically a scene that’s in the show anyway, so they just also shot it with 3-D cameras,” Ball said. Read more about the potential to see “True Blood’s” werewolves, shape-shifters, were-panthers, witches and other “supes” in three dimensions here.

HBO, known for striking images and memorable marketing around its original series, just released three monochromatic posters of “True Blood” characters. (See red version at left.) Nowhere as bloody and flesh-baring as the now famous Anna Paquin/Stephen Moyer/Alexander Skarsgard Rolling Stone cover, but sexy/creepy all the same.
