HBO has released the very first True Blood season-four teaser trailer (when we call it a teaser, we MEAN it), and that has us strangely excited—which makes us think it must be a spell. After all, the 27-second spot does warn us that it must be the season of the witch! Last summer, season three left us completely agape with an ending that had everyone's favorite barmaid, Sookie Stackhouse ( Anna Paquin ), breaking up with vampire hotties Bill ( Steven Moyer ) AND Eric ( Alexander Skarsgard ) and vanishing into the faerie world. So we're naturally curious as to how this will pan out for our favourite Bon Temps characters. Watch the trailer after the Jump.. But for those who have read the book on which season four is based (which would be Dead to the World by Charlaine Harris) the real questions are [ spoiler alert ]: Will Sookie find an amnesiac and very naked Eric running by the side of the road (courtesy of a witch's spell)? Will the two finally be getting it on

Pee-wee To Make His Return Home On Tuesday HBO said it would shoot the Broadway production of “The Pee-wee Herman Show,” which stars Paul Reubens as that impish man-child of its title, for a special to be shown next year. Pee-wee historians – and you know who you are – may recall that HBO previously broadcast a “Pee-wee Herman Show” special in 1981, taped at the Roxy Theater in Los Angeles. That show, which Mr. Reubens and his colleagues at the Groundlings comedy theater began performing in 1980, would go on to form the basis of the “Pee-wee Herman Show” currently being presented at the Stephen Sondheim Theater on Broadway. HBO said it would tape its new “Pee-wee” special immediately after the show’s Broadway run ends on Jan. 2; a broadcast date wasn’t announced. Here’s what Nancy Geller, senior vice president of HBO Original Programming, said in a press release. Before his hit series and movies, HBO introduced Paul Reubens’ Pee-wee Herman to a national audience in the ‘Young Co

Todd McFarlane's Spawn Geared For Adults Todd McFarlane's plans to bring " Spawn " back to the animated world are still materializing, as the comic book creator recently told us that the project is undergoing various animation and technology tests through different studios. But even as certain aspects of the " Spawn " series are getting ironed out, there's one thing that McFarlane says the fans can count on: just like the last animated series that aired on HBO, this latest "Spawn" adaptation will absolutely retain its edgy status as a mature audience series. "Absolutely," McFarlane told MTV News when asked whether or not the new series would preserve the old show's dark tone. "We're gong to a cable network, and that's their bread and butter."

So it’s very much alive and incubating at the moment.” Reznor is working with the team of Lawrence Bender , best known for producing Quentin Tarantino films such as “Pulp Fiction,” “Inglourious Basterds” and ”Reservoir Dogs“ as well as the documentarie

'Flight of the Conchords' Will Fly No More After months of speculation, the quirky HBO comedy series' co-creators Bret McKenzie, Jemaine Clement and James Bobin broke the news on their Web site. "We've noticed the less we say about the future of the show, the more people want to talk about it, so in an effort to reverse this trend we are today announcing that we won't be returning for a third season," they wrote. "We're very proud of the two seasons we made, and we like the way the show ended." Weaving story line and original songs, combined with the fact that the trio continues to reside in their native New Zealand, makes "Conchords" difficult to produce, prompting speculation over the past few months that McKenzie, Clement and Bobin would not return for a third season. The show's second season earned a best comedy series nomination and a best actor nom for Clement. Please Leave A Comment- Source- THR

"Entourage" Heading To The Big Screen Two more seasons of HBO's "Entourage" and then a movie? That seems to be the plan, according to the show's executive producer Mark Wahlberg. Asked about the future of the comedy series, which recently was picked up for a seventh cycle coming off one of its strongest seasons, Wahlberg indicated that he believes there are two more seasons left in the show. "We'll see; there could be more," he said at the premiere of his latest film, "The Lovely Bones." "But then, a movie." HBO seems on board with the idea. "It is not out of the realm of possibility," an HBO spokeswoman said about the prospect of an "Entourage" movie. "Right now, the creators are concentrating on the new season." In following a successful series run with a movie, the Doug Ellin-created "Entourage" would mirror another long-running HBO comedy, "Sex and the City." Please Lea
