True Blood Season 2: Behind The Scenes in Louisiana
A special thank you goes out to pbartteacher for sending us information about the arrival of the cast and crew of Alan Ball's hit HBO TV vampire series True Blood shooting in Louisiana. The crew is setting up to shoots in Clinton, Louisiana (a town in East Feliciana Parish) with filming also taking place in Baton Rouge at several locations. Part of the reason for the shoots in Louisiana is really to capture the essence of the South and as executive producer Gregg Fienberg states "It's really important for them (the actors) to get a chance to be in Louisiana and feel the heat and see the town." It also helps that the Louisiana provides for studios wishing to film in the state a new tax credit (30% on whatever is spent in the state) which makes it more enticing to shoot productions down there. The cast of True Blood are currently shooting the episode 10 in Clinton, Louisiana which they should wrap up over the weekend. Anna Paquin stated that "It's beautiful down here." "Nothing really looks like the South except the South ... It's really important to come down here and capture it." The cast and crew are hopeful to return to Clinton to do some more filming if the show is picked up for a third season which we True Blood fans are all wishing for. Here are a few photos from the cast and crew in Louisiana from lsureveille.com thanks to pbartteacher for the links to the photos and a video of behind the scenes from Louisiana with a shout out to The Vault for the find.
