Oprah + True Blood = ???
Filed under: Film Flickers > Oprah Winfrey
When we first heard that Oprah Winfrey was teaming up with True Blood creator Alan Ball for a new HBO film, we immediately were pissed at Oprah for getting involved with vampires.
The trend is on its way out. Please let it die.
Apparently, she heard us because her new project with Alan has nothing to do with vamps. Actually, the film will be an adaptation of the nonfiction best-seller The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. Henrietta's story is very intriguing, having died in 1951 of cervical cancer, but living on through science as pieces of the tumor that killed her were removed and used for medical exploration.
Interesting!
Much better story than vampires!

Yes, apparently Oprah listens to you and decided against a Vampire movie. You have such a huge pull over her. Get a clue.
Yes, because all Alan has ever done and will ever do involves vampires. You are an idiot.
exploration is the wrong word, Typing Monkey Hidden Vagina…
medical exploration is what they would do if they went in looking for the soggy dish sponge that you have in place of a brain
Hate to break it you Perez but Alan Ball has worked on MANY OTHER PROJECTS BEFORE TRUE BLOOD. HE IS A CREATIVE GENIUS and that is why Harpo wanted to work with him!!! Not because she wanted a vampire movie. CHECK IMDB.COM BEFORE YOU POST AND DO SOME RESEARCH!
Perez, you've been talking about being excited for season three of True Blood and now you're saying "The trend is on its way out. Please let it die" ? One more strike and I swear I'll stop visiting your site. It's slow on news and all about Lady GaGa and you vying to get on television shows like American Idol and Dancing With The Stars anyway.
true blood is awesome, oprah is not
Yeah what that above commentor said. You freak out over every bit of True Blood news, and you're saying you want the vampire "trend" to die out? What?
I would love to see that made into a movie! I read about her in people magazine! Her family isnt even being compensated for all the good she has done medically!
Perhaps your ghost writers should get together more often for tea before posting so many conflicting posts..Seriously "Perez" your site sucks.
how is she immortal by having her tumor saved? a tumor is a gross, disgusting mass and it killed her. if i'm going to have a part of me saved its not going to be the thing that killed me, it's going to be my beautiful blue eyes.
god you are a moron, mario ! ever heard of 'six feet under'? how about 'american beauty' ?? 'true blood' is the ONLY vampire project alan ball has ever done. how somebody who knows as little as you do about entertainment has an entertainment blog is mind-boggling.
What is that line on her face by her right eye? I've noticed it before when she was on her tv show and thought it was just the lighting but here she is with it again? Is it a scar? Wrinkle? Bad makeup? Please explain someone..
I work in oncology and grow cancer cells for research. HeLa cells are what started it all. We wouldn't have the cancer research we have now if it weren't for the discover of the special properties of her cells.
Why is Oprah still fat?
OK Mario….Did you fall down and smack your pumpkin head on the pavement? True Blood is one of the biggest shows for HBO. Fire your ghost writers because they are contradicting your fat A$$ or has Barbie fallen into a coma from too many chicken wings and crispy crème donuts? I think so. Geez you suck ass big time.
Re: Cheezees – I know. Why this bitch can't lose weight is beyond me.
Um, vampires are awesome, as long as they're flawed and interesting and bloodthirsty and sexy. Virgin sparkly day walking stone things are NOT vampires, they're just lame.
It's twilight that's crappy.
WTF at this post,..Perez hardly knew what True Blood was before he jumped on the band wagon constantly blogging about it and now he's trying to drag it down? please.
What a great book to put to film. Very fitting Oprah is in on the project.
black vampires
O GAWD! Keep your hands off of True Blood O! Your not in that league!
dont act like you hate true blood. and have you started watching vampire diaries yet? its getting REALLY good.
Apparently she heard you? Right, ’cause the Big O is glued to this sight 24/7 so she can stay in top form. Pig Face, is your pathetic delusional grandstanding an act, or are you truly this big a dipshit?
"Please let it die" says the dude who's always posting about Twilight. AT LEAST TRUE BLOOD IS A VAMPIRE SHOW WITH VAMPIRES ON IT.
OPRAH=vampire
