Interview with the Vampire Trailer: First Look At Louis In Modern Day
The first trailer for Anne Rice's Interview With The Vampire series on AMC+ has debuted at Comic-Con 2022. The new series adaptation stars Game of Thrones' Jacob Anderson as Louis and The Newsreader's Sam Reid as Lestat, with Avatar: The Way of Water's Bailey Bass as Claudia, and Eric Bogosian as the interviewer, Daniel Molloy. The show is created by Rolin Jones (Perry Mason, Boardwalk Empire), based on late author Anne Rice's original novel, with the debut episode directed by Alan Taylor (Game of Thrones).
Interview with the Vampire was previously adapted by director Neil Jordan in 1993, starring Tom Cruise as Lestat, Brad Pitt as Louie, Kirsten Dunst (in her debut role) as Claudia, and Christian Slater as Daniel Molloy. Queen of the Damned would follow in 2002, which is the third book in Rice's Vampire Chronicles, starring the late Aaliyah as the powerful vampire Akasha, and Stuart Townsend as Lestat, taking over Cruise's role. The movie was a critical and commercial flop, putting the franchise back in the coffin until AMC picked up the rights with an eye toward adapting Rice's novels for a long time to come.
