And hey, while were at it, let's get all the Vampire Bill (Stephen Moyer) and Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) haters on board, too!

Just went through all the news notes about Academy Award and Golden Globe-winning actress Anna Paquin and her brother Andrew Paquin teaming up to make a thriller called Open House. What many scribes seem to take issue with is that Anna's real-life fiance Stephen Moyer, her co-star in the HBO hit series, True Blood will also co-star with her.

The plot of the film, currently listed for release in 2010, is about a couple who discover that days after an open house one potential buyer of their luxurious home never left. Creepy!

Andrew Paquin with whom Anna owns a production company, most recently produced the romantic comedy New in Town with Renee Zellwegger. This will be his first shot at directing. Nice of his sis and future brother-in-law to get on board. Also acting in this project are Tricia Helfer (Six on Battlestar Galactica), Rachel Blanchard, Brian Geraghty, Jessica Collins, Larry Sullivan, and Gabriel Olds.

And now for some straight-on not-news:

True Blood executive producer Alan Ball revealed recently that though the two romantic leads in True Blood, Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer, ostensibly kept their romance a secret until the end of filming True Blood's first season, Ball became aware of their intense attraction and suspected they had a thang goin' on off-set much sooner than that. He admits to having an "Oh-oh!" moment when the stars finally fessed up--by that point they were living together. He fretted that if they had a spat what would become of Sookie and Bill?  He went on to say that he's since realized that they are a solid couple, he thinks their chemistry is amazing, and he's really happy for them both. Aww.
