HBO True Blood

Looks like marketing and a viral has kicked up on the new HBO series "True Blood". Had a huge campaign at Comic-Con & sales ad's everywhere.

Here is official site

Bloodcopy has a pretty extensive backlisting of posts and HBO's shows are always slick with production values. I'll be keeping an eye on this one.

EDIT:
A post in their forums pointed me towards a Livejournal, which seems to be Meta but also had an interesting poster with a website listed.

The Livejournal - http://community.livejournal.com/trueblood_tv/

During the True Blood panel at Comic-Con this was brought up. The show's creator explained that it was interactive marketing, but not necessarily a 'game'. Too bad, because I love the premise of this show; the development of Tru:Blood, a synthetic blood 'beverage', allows vampires to coexist with mortal humans.

The viral sites are fun though, especially:

If you want to become a 'fangbanger', this is the place to start Smile

The Bloodcopy site also has a Skype link, which I figure is too late to call now. Someone else give it a try? It also has a whole SLEW of blogroll links and other goodies.

Their forums appear to be IG, with a section for "clues and portents".

Their marketing and sites seem pretty big and wild. Could turn into a great vira if show takes off. The american vampire league has also a facebook site to join.

Only thing better then a batman.... is a Vampire! lol

They're definitely creating a big, fun interactive community. It would be nice if it turns into a 'game' of some sort (something with puzzles, a progressing plot line, etc). I just wish every site didn't blatantly mention HBO, and the show itself.

I agree, hopefully once the show airs they keep up with the mystique!

Would have been great if the Subject header had the title in it for the thread when searched.

Yeah when it was posted we didn't know what the TB stood for yet. Guess it should have been changed later.

I would say continue in the other thread since all the background info is there already. Maybe we could get someone to add True Blood to the other thread title? I don't know how that works. lol
