Interview with the Vampire

It took almost three decades for the famous saga by Anne Rice to receive a dignified television adaptation. Her "Vampire Chronicles" (and Mayfair Witches) had a total of 18 books. Talk of a sequel to the film Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles had been circulating non-stop since 1994. It is therefore very gratifying that together with her son Christopher, Anne witnessed the beginning of production of several concurrently developing series and approved the scripts, etc. Although she did not live to see their premieres, as she passed away at the end of last year, her work continues to be nurtured by Christopher, who had already established himself as her successor during her lifetime. Together with his mother, he co-wrote, for example, the second and third parts of the novel "The Mummy, or Ramses the Damned." So, what is the beginning of the television series Interview with the Vampire like? It's quite pleasant. There were indeed many changes, but none of them contradictory to the essence of the material.

We live in a time of diversity. Ethnic actors have more opportunities and with them comes new inspiration. It is no longer important to start the story in 1791 on plantations, but we can move Louis's vampire birth to 1910. Now Louis is a shepherd looking for his place in the sun and trying to defend his role in the family and the underworld... New Orleans remains. Meeting other vampires in 19th century Paris replaces Claudia's solitary experience fleeing from her creator. Emotions are strong, and there is no reason to resist them. Just enjoy it. Jacob Anderson, Sam Reid, and Bailey Bass are fascinating as a new vampire family. I have been waiting for this for a long time and it was worth it. I welcome the idea of retelling events from the first film adaptation. Not only that, but I hope for the entire TV series universe. (31.01.2023)

It took less than three decades for Anne Rice's famous saga to receive a worthy series adaptation. Her "The Vampire Chronicles" (and "The Mayfair Witches") have gone on to have 18 books in total. There has been nonstop speculation about a sequel to Interview with the Vampire since 1994. I am thus greatly satisfied that Anne, together with her son Christopher, has seen the start of production of several concurrent series and that she has approved the scripts, etc. Although she did not live to see the premiere - she died at the end of last year - her work continues to be nurtured by Christopher, who had already established himself as her successor during her lifetime. Together with his mother he wrote, for example, the second and third parts of "The Mummy," or "Ramses the Damned." So how is the beginning of the "Interview with the Vampire" series? Very pleasant. Yes, there are a lot of changes, but not against the sense of the substance. Louis's vampire birth was moved to 1910 from 1791. This time he is not the plantation owner, who is mourning the loss of his wife, and he attracts Lestat with his noisy suicide attempts. On the contrary, Louis is a pimp, seeking his place in the sun and trying to defend his role in the family and in the underworld... Jacob Anderson and Sam Reid are incredible, malleable, and sexy, so I'll definitely indulge in all the films at least once. (19.12.2022)
