True Blood Season 6 Showrunner Named

25 May 2012 6:30 AM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »

You may recall that we told you back at the end of February that True Blood showrunner Alan Ball will be stepping down from that position at the conclusion of Season 5, which premieres June 10. According to HBO, Ball will take a “supervisory role” on the show and no longer have daily responsibilities for any subsequent seasons, if there are going to be any future seasons, leaving Ball free to develop new shows for HBO and Cinemax per their agreement.

Truebie fever is raging on, though, and HBO has taken note, as EW is reporting that HBO has lined up Mr. Ball’s Season 6 replacement. He is co-executive producer Mark Hudis, who has been working with Ball in the writers’ room since last year’s Season 4, and whose previous credits include Nurse Jackie and Miss Guided.

Things certainly are looking good for the show when its network announces the name of »

Alan Ball will be stepping down as showrunner of "True Blood" at the end of Season 5, and now we know who will replace him should HBO renew the series for a Season 6. But before we get ahead of ourselves, here are the synopses of Episodes 5.01, 5.02, and 5.03, airing June 10, 17, and 24.

According to Deadline, co-executive producer Mark Hudis will be upped to executive producer/showrunner for Season 6 as part of an overall deal he has signed with HBO. The two-year pact also includes a development component.

Hudis has been on "True Blood" for two seasons — last year’s Season 4 and Season 5, which premieres June 10th. While his and Ball’s paths previously crossed on the CBS comedy series "Cybill", where they co-wrote several episodes during the 1997-98 season, the two first met two decades ago working at trade publication AdWeek.

Stop Crying, “True Blood” Is Back

21 May 2012 2:55 PM, PDT | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »

Following a couple uneven seasons, HBO has done some serious promotional work for True Blood’s upcoming 5th season. From the apt slogan “waiting sucks” to a million promo character posters and cool trailers and now we have this cute new TV spot, courtesy of EW.com. Featuring practically every character on the show shedding some tears, the slogan is “Don’t cry. It’s back.” Of course, it’s not back Yet, because we still have to wait until June 10th for the premiere (but we have two weeks of Game Of Thrones to hold us over), but this fun and clever 30 second promo coupled with all of the other stuff we’ve seen lead me to believe we could be heading into the best True Blood season since the first two. Anna Paquin, Stephen Moyer and company will be there at 9 Pm on June 10th, and enjoy the promo embedded below. »

21 May 2012 7:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

After last week’s brilliant new releases in the home entertainment market, headed up by Steve McQueen’s Shame and Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (I bought them both on Blu-ray, the latter in HMV’s exclusive steelbook special edition), this week sees another great slew of titles for us to add to our collections.

As ever, we have not just the brand new films and TV shows making their way to shelves for the first time, but also single-disc Blu-ray editions (which we’re increasingly seeing within a few months of the Double / Triple Play versions), and a host of films getting the HD treatment, released on Blu-ray for the first time, with Disney releasing a handful of old titles in the visually beautiful format.

Stay tuned for next week (and be sure to get your pre-orders in early), which will see Chornicle, Coriolanus, Martha Marcy May Marlene, »
