Alan Ball's "Signs of Death" new project for HBO

This sounds interesting. I've really enjoyed Clayne's performances where I've seen him, he was the only good thing about the Smokin' Aces sequel. Alan Ball has proved to be a very capable show lead with True Blood and I look forward to seeing more about this soon. One thing is for sure, Alan must require a british lead in all of his shows because Whishaw certainly is.

Clayne Crawford and Ben Wishaw to lead Alan Ball's new HBO drama 'Signs of Death'

All signs point to Clayne Crawford landing a major role in Alan Ball’s HBO drama pilot All Signs of Death.

Based on Charlie Huston’s best-selling crime novel, Death revolves around a slacker-turned-crime scene cleaner (Ben Whishaw) who gets entangled in a murder mystery. Crawford—who recurred as Katee Sackhoff’s psycho stalker on the final season of 24—will play his BFF, a sexy greaser who runs a tattoo parlor. Crawford is currently appearing on A&E’s The Glades.

He has won me over twice now with Six Feet Under and True Blood, so I will give this a go as well. I'm just surprised Ball is already working on a new show.

I didn't realize Ball had done anything before True Blood. I never had any interest whatsoever in Six Feet and don't see myself ever venturing down that road, however he has been a fairly good show runner with TB so I hope this doesn't suck.

i will try out any Alan Ball show because of his past shows, Six Feet Under and True Blood

Hmmmm...wonder why this sounds familiar...

Curdled is 1996 black comedy about a Colombian immigrant who takes a crime scene cleanup job, and discovers evidence about a local serial killer dubbed the "Blue Blood Killer" for his targeting of socialites. The film is a re-make of a 1991 short film of the same name, which also was directed by Reb Braddock and starred Angela Jones. George Clooney has a photo cameo in the film as Seth Gecko.

Note: Angela Jones who stars in this was the cab driver who picked up Bruce Willis in Pulp Fiction.

I don't like True Blood that much. Never got into it.
