‘Interview with the Vampire’ returns to the screens, this time in series format that we will soon see in Spain through AMC +, AMC’s streaming platform. Anne Rice’s work is now in charge of Rolin Jones, who works as a showrunner and screenwriter, and who has chosen this time Jacob Anderson as Louis de Pointe du Lac and Sam Reid as Lestat. From Comic-Con comes the first trailer:
Like the Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise film, this gothic tale centers on a man who tells the story of his life to a reporter. His story alone begins two centuries ago and involves a vampire named Lestat.who was the one who transformed him into a supernatural creature like him.
At the presentation, executive producer Mark Johnson explained it this ‘Interview with the Vampire’ will be “a much more modern interpretation” of Rice’s work, although they also wanted to be faithful to the novel. Also advances the fact that they will deepen the relationship between Jacob and Lestat by having more time in seven chapters than the 90s film in two hours. Christopher Rice, the writer’s son, is part of the project as an executive producer.
