Now, AMC’s highly anticipated series based on the first novel in the series debuts with a macabre and sexually-charged reinvention of Louis and Lestat that is far more faithful to Rice’s books than the 1994 movie while adding new layers to the story of a vampire reflecting on a century of change. Despite a standalone sequel ( Queen of the Damned), Rice’s Vampire Chronicles has been dormant for a long time.
When the 1994 film version of Interview with the Vampire debuted, Neil Jordan’s lush adaptation showcased Brad Pitt, Kirsten Dunst, and Tom Cruise in roles unlike any they had undertaken before or since. Review: Anne Rice’s vampire mythology has long had a dedicated fanbase who chronicle the tales of Lestat, Louis, and centuries of the undead.
But Louis’s intoxicating new powers come with a violent price, and the introduction of Lestat’s newest fledgling, the child vampire Claudia, soon sets them on a decades-long path of revenge and atonement. Chafing at the limitations of life as a Black man in 1900s New Orleans, Louis finds it impossible to resist the rakish Lestat de Lioncourt’s offer of the ultimate escape: joining him as his vampire companion. Plot: A sensuous, contemporary reinvention of Anne Rice’s revolutionary gothic novel, Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire follows Louis de Pointe du Lac, Lestat de Lioncourt and Claudia’s epic story of love, blood, and the perils of immortality, as told to journalist Daniel Molloy.
