Interview With The Vampire: Claudia's Age Confirmed
Interview with the Vampire has confirmed Claudia's age. Originally a gothic horror novel that served as a prelude to author Anne Rice's The Vampire Chronicles book series, Interview with the Vampire received the big screen treatment in 1994 with a film by Neil Jordan. The movie adaptation starred Tom Cruise as Lestat de Lioncourt and Brad Pitt as Louis de Pointe du Lac, with Kirsten Dunst playing Claudia. The movie was successful and WB continued the franchise in 2002 with a standalone sequel Queen of the Damned, which proved to be a critical and commercial flop.

Created by Friday Night Lights' Rolin Jones, Interview with the Vampire will air eight episodes beginning October 2, 2022, on AMC+. Game of Thrones' Jacob Anderson and The Newsreader's Sam Reid lead the cast as Louis and Lestat respectively. A recent trailer for Interview with the Vampire showed a modern-day Louis recounting his paranormal life to the interviewer (Eric Bogosian), and it seemed that the show hearkened back to the classically ominous tone of the source material. While the adaptation seemed faithful and accurate in the video, actress Bailey Bass' (Avatar: The Way of Water) casting as Claudia raised some eyebrows, as the star was noticeably older than her character from the books.
