i am in awe of jacobs acting talents (i first caught him as grey worm in game of thrones), but it's his music career as raleigh richie that made me a fan
I fell in love with him when I saw him smile the first time. I’ve only seen him as Grey Worm and he’s always scowling, which fits the character. I was so pleasantly surprised to see both his charm and amazing acting skills in this
the way I SCREAMED at 7:20 !!! imagine an interview with the vampire parody where everything between Louis and Lestat happens on a zoom call. the apsurdity of it all
I'm amazed at how real this feels. It has all the depth of the original with a perfectly logical modern twist. Ended up binging the whole series in one go.
Unlike the books, where all the characters are white. This has a more authentic feel to it . Even the Africans were white in the books. This just makes more sense. Only a few people can believe that there a no Black people in New Orleans in the 20th century. Good job Show runners !
this show is so good. as a AR fan having read the books and seen the movies, i feel that this adaptation is the most true to her style, despite all the story change. i actually enjoy the changes, which are done well enough to give a similar, yet different, interesting background story while retaining the essence of the relationships and themes AR penned. I am so excited to see what they do with the mayfair witches.
I want to read the books but I have no clue of where to start so plz help me!, how many book in the series? Is it Connected? Like are we gonna see lestat and Louis relationship in all the books or only In interview with the vampire?
@@m20102 the book series is called the vampire chronicles by anne rice, starting with interview with the vampire. her website can give u the order of books and the full list. as for louis and lestat, not all of the books are about them, and they dont spend a lot of time together after the first book. but, there are a lot of other fantastic characters u have not been introduced to yet, like akasha and maharhet, as well as lestats maker, marius. if i remember right, the 2 books after the first are lestat based. they didnt get to the end of the first book in the tv series, so i imagine S2 will be the rest of what happened between lestat, louis, claudia, and armand. i love how anne did it in the book, but i cant wait to see what they do with it on the series!
The first episode was awesome! I don’t mind the changes at all, I actually really love the fresh take on this series. I know some people hate change, but from the point of view of an artist, I can really appreciate the thought they put into everything they changed and why. This is their interpretation of a classic, and I love a fresh take! Sam Reid as Lestat is amazing. He feels more like Lestat than Tom Cruise did, that’s for sure. From his charm, to his temper, and the way he can’t stifle his laughter when something amuses him.. this feels like the Lestat we fell in love with in the books. His obsession with Louis and the way he kills indiscriminately, effortlessly; this is the Brat Prince, not the monstrous villain Cruise played him as. Louis’s character, though much has changed, the essentials are there: his wealth and power, his brother’s death, his depression.. Jacob Anderson is charming and I love this version of Louis. Can’t wait to meet Claudia, and Armand!
You def earned your money for this paid review. I haven't seen that this show had gone viral or extremely popular. People probably should stop messing with the characters to be politically correct. It's hurting the bigger studios I have no idea why this one thinks they will have a different result. I wonder if it's the ESG scores they are trying to achieve.
@@mindovomatter5181 Haters gonna hate I guess. They've released some stats few days ago. The audience demand for “Interview with the Vampire” is nearly 25-times the demand for the average show in the U.S. The demand for the show also increased by 216.1% in the last 30 days. The stats can be found on the Parrot Analytics site if you don't believe me. Just because it's not GOT level popular, doesn't mean it doesn't have a very dedicated and growing following. Politically correct? You clearly haven't watched the show.

It blows my mind how good the show is. I'm sorry that we feel differently, though. Hopefully you come to enjoy it eventually as well.
This show is absolutely incredible. Such an incredible adaption of the books!! The cast and crew did such a phenomenal job and the love and respect for Anne rice’s works is palpable in the show and this interview!! I’m so excited for season 2!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This show is a delight which I've been craving since forever. I love all of it, every little detail and effort they put through not just paid off, but became something extraordinary and timeless. To what I owed it I don't wanna know, but I love every single one of them. A masterpiece made for her eyes only. Thank you thank you thank you. Words ain't enough to describe how eternally grateful I am.
Here is one of the many new readers who just discovered Anne Rices's books and universe all thanks to this amazing show. 💖 thank tou AMC for such a fantastic adaptation and thanks to the cast! They are all so freaking talented! 👏👏👏👏
I started reading the books as a teenager back in the early 2000s, and I absolutely adore this show. It's made me want to revisit those books that I still have on my bookshelf. I hope it gets many more seasons and that we get to see all our favourite vampires come to life once again on our screens!
The first two episodes are AMAZING!!! It strays heavily from the source material but in a very smart way that gives new life to a story we already know. The lead actors are PHENOMENAL, especially Sam Reid's Lestat who feels much more like the way I envisioned him then Tom Cruise's solid performance in the original movie.
I just think it’s hilarious that they call it Anne Rice’s interview with the vampire when like you say it’s strays heavily from the source material. Oh I’m so bummed out but do appreciate strong actors in those roles.
@@meeshelly25 Yep .. they should've just called it something else and taken her name out of it. Just looks like more social programming to me. There's also a reason her son isn't an 'executive producer' anymore. She sold the rights on her death bed ... Hollywood took it, and did what they wanted. Another woke pile of crap.
As someone who's an Anne Rice fan and has watched the original film multiple times, I was little nervous if they were going to go away from the source material (like what happened with the movie, "Queen of the Damned"). But after seeing a lot of this, including the trailer, it looks really interesting as a new adaptation, especially since we're diving into the Jazz Era in New Orleans. Plus I'm so relieved that they're showing more of Lestat and Louis' relationship. They look so gorgeous together! *fangirl squeal* So I'm hopeful and I'm willing to give this a chance.
@@danusdragonfly6640 The Queen Of The Damned movie is trash. The Interview movie is very good. Antonio Banderas was kinda meh as Armand, but Tom Cruise was a great Lestat. Eric Mabius was bland as fuck. A really uninteresting performance for an idiotic script.
@@VuotoPneumaNN You're entitled to your lame opinions. Not sure why you felt the need to @ me though? This post is 11 months old and I couldn't care any *less* about your thoughts little dud.
Absolutely amazing show. Been a fan of books since the 90's. Was originally scratching my head with changes they were doing and wondering where they will go with this but the show blew me away! The changes they made actually made the story fresh and better for a TV show! Amazing writing, the absolutely brilliant cast and acting, the cinematography, the costumes, the atmosphere.. everything was top notch on this show and I can't wait for season 2!! I do wish they respected some of Anne's wishes she expressed over the years, but overall I think they did fantastic job and honored her books and characters! ❤❤❤
It would have been so cool if Anne Rice were alive to see her work given the care, love, and sophisticated storytelling they deserve when adapting. Season 1 somehow elevated the source material, for me at least. Can't wait for season 2 (The Yellow Dress!) Re-read Interview in 2 days and now into 60 pages of Lestat.
I really appreciate these behind the scenes views of the show, coming from the other side of season 2. So much thought has gone into all the set up and it's fascinating
the guy who said "when you see it, that's it. this is the only version of the interview with your vampire" smth along those lines and he's right. he is right. i love the story, they adapted it perfectly. i couldn't ask for more. i see this show, and think this is The canon i know and love. amazing show. thank you for bringing it to fruition!
yaaaayyyy.... behind the scene part is what I am so excited & definitely looking forward to watch because it is as equally entertaining to watch as the series itself ❤❤
I’ve been rewatching the clips and trailers as I reread my favorite parts of Anne Rice’s books. It looks like there’s going to be such much layers and character development in this show- I’m super excited!!!
Now one of the reasons Louis chose to be a vampire was because of depression resulting from the death of his brother, so I wonder what motivation they will use in the series. All that becoming a vampire did was make the depression permanent, it seems.
It is already one of the best series I've ever seen. The acting is superb, along with great script writing and set design. It was clearly made with love and great care. Ann Rice would love it.
çocukken izlediğim en sevdiğim çizgi filmime yeni bölüm gelmiş gibi bir heyecanla kitlenip izledim sırıtarak 42 dakika boyunca hiç bitmesini istemediğim türden bir şeydi cidden çok güzel bir dizi evreni olacak, hissediyorum, rez alıyorum
@@Kirby_Lyn you get it. Sometimes you see those obscure ones that people don’t see it or they don’t know who certain people look like .it’s like reaching up to give someone a high five and they just ignore you and leave you hangin. 🤣 maybe it’s the wrinkles of his face?
If anyone is confused about the queer storyline being more prominent, I invite you to look into the Sleeping Beauty series that Anne Rice wrote under her pseudonym before Interview. Also, if folks think that wealthy Black people that had plantations didn't also have slaves, I encourage you to do your research. Finally, research the history of Louisiana, the Creole community, and Jim Crow laws across the South.
I like the little Easter egg in one of the episodes where Daniel is looking at a painting by Marius de Romanus, I wonder who going to be cast as him, since they got him so wrong in Queen of the Damned 2002, I want to see him as he is describing in The Vampire Lestat as being so ancient that his skin almost like marble and pale with long blond hair and is over six foot much like the book
I LOVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVE THIS SHOW MORE THAN ANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNY SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just wow.
How can anyone not love this series? It brings back Anne Rice. The books are so special, and this is just another interpretation. The actors who play Louis and Lestat are awesome. The look in their eyes when they look at each other is precious. It is pure love. Claudia brings a bit of comedy to this dark tragedy. I have loved Anne Rice's vampires since 1976 and I'm so happy that they brought her genius back to life. Love it. Almost makes me cry at times.
Episode one was fantastic wow bravo to this actor playing lestat he killed it !!!! You can really tell that these writers weren’t just the typical Hollywood types they were actual fans of Anne and what her legacy was in American literature and that’s why it’s succeeding! Listening to them when speaking on her passing you can tell her work is in great hands I can not wait to see queen of the dammed and how they go about it! To the folks who bashed it b4 it debuted called it woke trash even b4 giving it a chance shame on you because it just shows you never really knew who Anne Rice was & what she meant to the goth world of the 80s the lgbtq community and all those who felt like outliers in society! My wife and I absolutely loved this show
I am beyond excited, this looks so beautiful. From the sets to the costumes to the makeup, it feels lavish and so detail oriented. It may be different from the book and the movie, but I am willing to keep an open mind. I really hope this show is successful, I would really love to see the other books hit the screen.
Wasn’t sure if I’d even like this series but with three episodes in I am already in love with it. Everything is done impeccably from the set, the costumes, the writing, but the acting even more so. I hope all of the books get this treatment.
As a huge fan of the novels since 1992 and of the movie (for superficial reasons) since 1994, I am beyond thrilled of this new adaptation/ re-imagination of the story. It's much darker, more complex, more sensual, more brutal and more hypnotic. The trailers alone capture the tone and spirit of the novels despite of all the changes made. I can tell that it will be a character (more fleshed out) driven show instead of just a bunch of plot points from the novel. It is called Interview with the Vampire and not Interview with the Plantation Owner. The novel that I read was about a self-loathing human turned into a self-loathing vampire. Throughout the novel Louis was asking questions about the nature of good and evil and what it means for his vampiric existence. He experiences love, loss and grief as human and as vampire. It's about him finally finding his humanity as a vampire (which is ironic). It is a seductive, hypnotic, brutal and violent journey filled with sadness and loneliness (thanks to his toxic relationships with his vampiric companions). It was never about Louis just being a plantation owner. For those of you disappointed and upset about the changes, just go watch a documentary about a plantation owner in the 1700"s. This adaptation isn't for you.
"Go watch a" Don't worry, we are 😆 and as this shows 12.8% + 3%...don't show up...we'll also be the ones watching it get cancelled due to lack of viewers 🤣
@@gilsurf8 That comment was in reply to both the above comment which is still there...AND the deleted comment >"Still Whining? L." IF, you claim that you want book accurate representation...then why are you good with the plantation & slave owning WHITE French man and 7 year old WHITE French girl being race swapped to a black pimp...and a black teenage girl? Let's TRY to keep that same energy, hmm. OR, just do the noble thing...and admit that your full of shit.
@@ninat2 Actually that's not true at all, bourgeois blacks existed. Many of them were mixed/light skin, but they were well off & usually involved in business & trade jobs.
Being a fan who’s read the books & watched the IwtV movie as well as QotD, I’m so excited for a fresh new take on this wonderful story. I love how thoughtful the production team was in making this new adaptation and the changes they decided to go with. Can’t wait to watch! ❤
I really love when the creators expalin why they made the changes they made (instead of it just looking like the changes were arbitrary). I like that the changes made here means they have something in mind for rthem and there's a reason that will be revealed to us at some point. In the books Daniel does eventually become a vampire. Him being sick in this version, so many years later still opens that up to happen at some future point.
Sam Reid is Lestat. Makes what Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Stuart Townsend did look like shit. Jacob Anderson is delivering! The chemistry between them is phenomenal.
I always imagined that in the modern day. Louis is always wearing some type of suit, while lestat after the 80s he's wearing some form of Rockstar swagger.
I doubt AMC will see this, but I have to say I was wrong. I've been bashing all the changes for months now because these are my favorite books. However I watched the first episode and I'm hooked. It's obvious they put a lot of thought and effort into this show. Sorry AMC!
Seeing this has changed my mind about the show. I was having hesitant feelings on watching it. Now I’m recording the full series. Looking forward to seeing the beautiful filmmaking that has unfolded here. Bravo 👏
Oh I LOVE that idea that Interview With The Vampire was the first interview and the (most) of the rest of the chronicles is the contents of this new interview... very clever
I know I saw that. When he said that they "first" met in San Francisco in 1976 and had the interview which is the first book and now it's 40 years later and they are having another interview with new information of things that have passed in the book series-wise. I...I see things as "If it ain't broken, don't fix it" type of person. It will take me a bit to watch something that is a remake or reboot or continuation with a new twist. But I will take a shot at this one bc I LOVE the film version! But I will see this bc of curiosity and New Orleans is my home and would love to see it on screen once again. But because if Anne was on board with this before she died, before any filming began. Then I will see this and be a bit optimistic. It might surprise me.
@@stephaniefranco7764 Same here. This show is gradually winning me over, even though I’m still a bit unsure on where they are taking this story in the show.
As a fan of the books, I was admittedly skeptical when I heard of all the changes they were making for the show. But let me tell you, the changes WORK. Every single one has made context within the story so far, and while it is a different take from the books, the characters and themes of the original story are still there. It's the bones of this series, as are the astounding actors and actresses bringing these iconic characters to life.
I love that they did their auditions by zoom all from different parts of the world and in different time zones. It was 3 in the morning for Sam, 6 in the morning for the producers, a different time for Jacob, etc. So cool!
@@Fiveash-Art These were the auditions and they had to do it by zoom because it was at the beginning of covid before there were any vaccines or anything yet and the whole world was in lockdown.
@@EM-fd8xe You mean the beginning of that giant psyop the central bankers, and technocrats were beta testing to see how far the people would submit to another invisible threat. 'Con-vid' was just another means to usher in their '4th industrial revolution' and a few more steps towards social credit scores via biometrics. 'vaccines' 😂🐑🐑 ... It's no wonder you like this stupid show. Looks to be just more social/political programming. ..... Enjoy. 🤮
You know I have to say this show was great and Anne Rice would have been so happy with this new adaption of Interview With A Vampire and The Mayfair Witches. This has a new feel to it and brings New Orleans vibe back to live and its alot better than 1994 Interview With A Vampire were Louis & Lestat and Claudia were always fighting and they made Claudia into a brat in the flim and this one is different. Sam Reid nailed Lestat were as Tom Cruise failed. Brad Pitt who played Louis wanted out of this project and there was tension on the set with Tom Cruise & Brad Pitt and in this new adaption they got it right**** I can't wait for season 2 and The Mayfair Witches as well I hope they do The Vampire Lestat Queen Of The Dammed Memonch The Devil and all the vampire stories that Anne Rice wrote on to the big screen...
these two shows basically sit down, take a humongous and unapologetic dump on Anne Rice's life's work, and you think she would like this tripe? This series is a complete destruction of the character of Louis. They took a dump on both Armand and Fareed's characters as well. This was well done enough to have been something of its own, thats the sad part. Its shit as an Anne Rice story but could have been something new with this cast and production value. All they needed was a story, and since they didn't even use the actual story, all this becomes is a slightly less horrible Rings of Power.
I must have seen the 1994 movie over a dozen times. I admit I had some reservations when I first heard about the remake, but after seeing this amazing Behind the Scenes, I'm so ready. Everything looks and feels so much richer and more nuanced. The same dark forlorn soul. Can't wait!
I am loving this series two episodes in. Sam Reid is my ideal for Lestat he's excellent, sexy, seductive, arrogant and a French aristocrat raised in a castle in the 1700s. I love how he speaks French and Italian in the show and there are many Easter eggs for us fans who have read the books. The retelling of this series made some smart artistic choices to update and augment the story. Jacob Anderson is excellent as Louis and the change of race for Louis and Lestat's interracial relationship adds some new flavors I am liking. I also like how this is a second interview for Daniel Molloy and Louis 49 years later after Daniel has had a long career as an awarded journalist and the scenes between them during the interview are great. Two thumbs up so far I am looking forward to the rest of the series and am thrilled it has already been renewed for season two!
Just binge watched all of season 1 (except the upcoming final episode) on Halloween. It truly IS fantastic!! I am one of those people for whom reading the Interview with a Vampire was a pivotal moment in my life, all those years ago. Am truly impressed by how they’ve tweaked things by making it a “second interview” and added the complexity of race to the already complex equation, but still managed to remain true & respectful to the original work… carrying the spirit brilliantly!! Thank you for this behind the scenes also! Really enjoyed 💯
I am so excited about this series but it will not be available in my country. I want to watch it legally and support the show. I will have to try to purchase it elsewhere.
I am very much looking forward to seeing this refreshing and modern reimagining of The Vampire Chronicles. From what I've seen so far, it seems like the characters will stay true to their book counterparts (which is most important to me as a huge fan). Lestat, in particular, is my favorite character and it looks like Sam Reid has played him beautifully, as does Jacob Anderson's Louis. From set design, to costumes, to the acting, I think I'm really going to love this! Can't wait til Oct 2nd!!! 🧛🏼♥️
Just watched the first episode on AMC. As a fan of the novel for almost 3 decades now, I can honestly tell you that they do stay true to the book counterparts. I hope you enjoy the show.
I have started watching the new "Interview with a Vampire" and I am really enjoying it. My favorite scene was when Louis finally got with LeStat and was floating in the air during an intimacy scene. This showed literally that LeStat had gotten "into" Louis on a very elemental way - which is scary and dark.
Episodes 1-5 were Amazing! If you are a fan of the Vampire chronicles you will definitely enjoy it! Its cool because they add enough things to make things fresh and new but also correct to the source material! Cant wait for the next part of the series as well as The Mayfair Witches!

Amazing writing, the absolutely brilliant cast and acting, the cinematography, the costumes, the atmosphere.. everything was top notch on this show and I can't wait for season 2!! I do wish they respected some of Anne's wishes she expressed over the years, but overall I think they did fantastic job and honored her books and characters! ❤❤❤
It’s so good, THIS is how you adapt material to make it fresh but still keeping the feel of the source material.❤
It would have been so cool if Anne Rice were alive to see her work given the care, love, and sophisticated storytelling they deserve when adapting. Season 1 somehow elevated the source material, for me at least. Can't wait for season 2 (The Yellow Dress!) Re-read Interview in 2 days and now into 60 pages of Lestat.
I’ve never seen the previous movie nor read the books but Loved this series 10/10 😊 can’t wait till season 2 🎉
crying over this i cant wait for whats to come
I really appreciate these behind the scenes views of the show, coming from the other side of season 2. So much thought has gone into all the set up and it's fascinating
You did well, guys. All of you ♡♡♡ Thank you for this show, and the unapologetic Gothic horror-romance is all fans could wish for ;)
This show was incredible!!
the guy who said "when you see it, that's it. this is the only version of the interview with your vampire" smth along those lines and he's right. he is right. i love the story, they adapted it perfectly. i couldn't ask for more. i see this show, and think this is The canon i know and love. amazing show. thank you for bringing it to fruition!
Such a amazing show
I can't wait for Season 2.....
yaaaayyyy.... behind the scene part is what I am so excited & definitely looking forward to watch because it is as equally entertaining to watch as the series itself ❤❤
I’ve been rewatching the clips and trailers as I reread my favorite parts of Anne Rice’s books. It looks like there’s going to be such much layers and character development in this show- I’m super excited!!!
Now one of the reasons Louis chose to be a vampire was because of depression resulting from the death of his brother, so I wonder what motivation they will use in the series. All that becoming a vampire did was make the depression permanent, it seems.
It is already one of the best series I've ever seen. The acting is superb, along with great script writing and set design. It was clearly made with love and great care. Ann Rice would love it.
I am definitely the generation they were talking bout that do not know the books. And this show has definitely brought me to Anne Rice! 💖
As mentioned, BB, BCS, HACF, TWD, and now IWTV, AMC makes my favorite shows!!! Kudos to all involved, can't wait for S2!!!
çocukken izlediğim en sevdiğim çizgi filmime yeni bölüm gelmiş gibi bir heyecanla kitlenip izledim sırıtarak
42 dakika boyunca hiç bitmesini istemediğim türden bir şeydi
cidden çok güzel bir dizi evreni olacak, hissediyorum, rez alıyorum
I like how the interviewer has a Anthony Bourdain look to him..
That's who he reminds me of! I kept getting pings of recognition but couldn't place it. His look plus his no bullshit attitude.
@@Kirby_Lyn you get it. Sometimes you see those obscure ones that people don’t see it or they don’t know who certain people look like .it’s like reaching up to give someone a high five and they just ignore you and leave you hangin. 🤣 maybe it’s the wrinkles of his face?
I really had a crush on both Bogosian as well as Bourdain.
My God yes! I knew he reminded me of someone that’s it!
Incredible show! I am hooked! Love seeing Creole vampires and old New Orleans. Beautiful.
Wonderful show!Cant waiting for season two
Amazing show, really good. I hope more people find out about it. It's too good to be unseen.
It’s a great show!!
If anyone is confused about the queer storyline being more prominent, I invite you to look into the Sleeping Beauty series that Anne Rice wrote under her pseudonym before Interview. Also, if folks think that wealthy Black people that had plantations didn't also have slaves, I encourage you to do your research. Finally, research the history of Louisiana, the Creole community, and Jim Crow laws across the South.
First episode was damn good
Yes, it was beautiful and unsettling.
Fantastic job all the way around 👏, I'm itching for the new season and can't wait for the characters to be brought back to life!!
Crazy how you manage to got Lestat's real vessel through a zoom call, just insane
I love behind the scenes
also hope to see gag reel/ bloopers of this show
Its just so good # great acting and oh my god the score is out of this world
This is my favorite of the new major fantasy/horror shows. Jacob Anderson and Sam Reid simply kills it!
I normally have good sexy fantasies of Lestat. I haven't lately I still like him.
IM SO READY FOR SZN 2😣😣I NEED MORE
I like the little Easter egg in one of the episodes where Daniel is looking at a painting by Marius de Romanus, I wonder who going to be cast as him, since they got him so wrong in Queen of the Damned 2002, I want to see him as he is describing in The Vampire Lestat as being so ancient that his skin almost like marble and pale with long blond hair and is over six foot much like the book
Looks amazing! I hope AMC will adapt all the books in the Vampire and Witches series!!!
I LOVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVE THIS SHOW MORE THAN ANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNY SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just wow.
I’m hooked after watching 20 minutes.
anne is my favorite writer ever. its nice to see that she is so loved
Me too. She will always be my favorite.
I need s2 nowww
How can anyone not love this series? It brings back Anne Rice. The books are so special, and this is just another interpretation. The actors who play Louis and Lestat are awesome. The look in their eyes when they look at each other is precious. It is pure love. Claudia brings a bit of comedy to this dark tragedy. I have loved Anne Rice's vampires since 1976 and I'm so happy that they brought her genius back to life. Love it. Almost makes me cry at times.
This had me tearing up, I'm so excited!!!
Thank you for this!! I can not wait to watch!
Episode one was fantastic wow bravo to this actor playing lestat he killed it !!!!
You can really tell that these writers weren’t just the typical Hollywood types they were actual fans of Anne and what her legacy was in American literature and that’s why it’s succeeding!
Listening to them when speaking on her passing you can tell her work is in great hands I can not wait to see queen of the dammed and how they go about it!
To the folks who bashed it b4 it debuted called it woke trash even b4 giving it a chance shame on you because it just shows you never really knew who Anne Rice was & what she meant to the goth world of the 80s the lgbtq community and all those who felt like outliers in society!
My wife and I absolutely loved this show
I am beyond excited, this looks so beautiful. From the sets to the costumes to the makeup, it feels lavish and so detail oriented. It may be different from the book and the movie, but I am willing to keep an open mind. I really hope this show is successful, I would really love to see the other books hit the screen.
Saaame. I want so badly to see Memnoch adapted.
I am HOOKED!!!!
Wasn’t sure if I’d even like this series but with three episodes in I am already in love with it. Everything is done impeccably from the set, the costumes, the writing, but the acting even more so.
I hope all of the books get this treatment.
I am obsessed either way Lestat now! Thanks 🙄
🖤
This is very interesting bts video❤ ty for showing us
Lestat de lioncourt was definitely is one of my favorite characters ever and I definitely fell in love with him to🖤
Omg! I dont know any teenage girls who didnt! Hell I did when I first read the books too!
@@lkeke35 and boys❤️
@@lkeke35 same
I would love to have a beautiful relationship with him.
As a huge fan of the novels since 1992 and of the movie (for superficial reasons) since 1994, I am beyond thrilled of this new adaptation/ re-imagination of the story. It's much darker, more complex, more sensual, more brutal and more hypnotic. The trailers alone capture the tone and spirit of the novels despite of all the changes made. I can tell that it will be a character (more fleshed out) driven show instead of just a bunch of plot points from the novel. It is called Interview with the Vampire and not Interview with the Plantation Owner. The novel that I read was about a self-loathing human turned into a self-loathing vampire. Throughout the novel Louis was asking questions about the nature of good and evil and what it means for his vampiric existence. He experiences love, loss and grief as human and as vampire. It's about him finally finding his humanity as a vampire (which is ironic). It is a seductive, hypnotic, brutal and violent journey filled with sadness and loneliness (thanks to his toxic relationships with his vampiric companions). It was never about Louis just being a plantation owner. For those of you disappointed and upset about the changes, just go watch a documentary about a plantation owner in the 1700"s. This adaptation isn't for you.
"Go watch a"
Don't worry, we are 😆 and as this shows 12.8% + 3%...don't show up...we'll also be the ones watching it get cancelled due to lack of viewers 🤣
@@mikehunt7124 That would be a shame .I’m really looking forward to seeing Bravennans and Replimoids on screen. 😂😂😂.
@@gilsurf8 you...all by yourself XDDD
maybe, your cats will join you. And that's a HARD maybe.
@@mikehunt7124 Huh? What's wrong with wanting a book accurate Bravennans? wanting a book accurate Atlantis?😹😹😹
@@gilsurf8 That comment was in reply to both the above comment which is still there...AND the deleted comment
>"Still Whining? L."
IF, you claim that you want book accurate representation...then why are you good with the plantation & slave owning WHITE French man and 7 year old WHITE French girl being race swapped to a black pimp...and a black teenage girl?
Let's TRY to keep that same energy, hmm. OR, just do the noble thing...and admit that your full of shit.
The original will always be my favorite but this one looks amazing! Can't wait to see it.
I was mad that they made Louis a pimp because it seemed so predictable but this actually looks interesting and makes me want to watch it.
I was skeptical at first, but after watching the first episode it all makes sense.
A black businessman in 1910 New Orleans had few options to choose
@@ninat2 Actually that's not true at all, bourgeois blacks existed. Many of them were mixed/light skin, but they were well off & usually involved in business & trade jobs.
I ❤ how they call Louis
Being a fan who’s read the books & watched the IwtV movie as well as QotD, I’m so excited for a fresh new take on this wonderful story. I love how thoughtful the production team was in making this new adaptation and the changes they decided to go with. Can’t wait to watch! ❤
I really love when the creators expalin why they made the changes they made (instead of it just looking like the changes were arbitrary). I like that the changes made here means they have something in mind for rthem and there's a reason that will be revealed to us at some point. In the books Daniel does eventually become a vampire. Him being sick in this version, so many years later still opens that up to happen at some future point.
Sam Reid is Lestat. Makes what Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Stuart Townsend did look like shit. Jacob Anderson is delivering! The chemistry between them is phenomenal.
Jakob Anderson and Sam Reid deserves a standing ovation for their performances.
I disagree on Tom Cruise. His performance was wonderful.
❤
Please give us 3 season and finished story dont be netflix or max just start so people pay sub and they drop it bc of money
I always imagined that in the modern day. Louis is always wearing some type of suit, while lestat after the 80s he's wearing some form of Rockstar swagger.
I've never read the book but in the movie Louis and cladia leave the states to go abroad and claudia is killed in paris by there coven there
@@brianlindee220 In the books she is killed by the vampire armand and his gang of paris vamps
@@gittyalt since it's a series it won't be for quite awhile it in my opinion doesn't need to be drawn out 5 episode tops
Absolutely hypnotic, fierce and exciting. Loving every second. Thank you Anne Rice and all the cast and directors for making her books come to life.
Honeyyyyyy this show is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I doubt AMC will see this, but I have to say I was wrong. I've been bashing all the changes for months now because these are my favorite books. However I watched the first episode and I'm hooked. It's obvious they put a lot of thought and effort into this show. Sorry AMC!
Can't wait to see this, looks good!
Hope you like it!
@amc I didn't like the casting of Louis and daniel. They don't fit these characters. Felt off for me
@@paulsmith9192 cry harder
Seeing this has changed my mind about the show. I was having hesitant feelings on watching it. Now I’m recording the full series. Looking forward to seeing the beautiful filmmaking that has unfolded here. Bravo 👏
Hope you enjoy it!
@@amcplus it was pretty good. Definitely returning when season 2 arrives. Until then I will be sleeping in my coffin ⚰️😝. Dumb jokes rock
I can’t wait
does that mean it's out and only on amc
Not having babies is not heartbreaking, lmfao.
It's heartbreaking for someone who wants them. 🙄
Oh I LOVE that idea that Interview With The Vampire was the first interview and the (most) of the rest of the chronicles is the contents of this new interview... very clever
I know I saw that. When he said that they "first" met in San Francisco in 1976 and had the interview which is the first book and now it's 40 years later and they are having another interview with new information of things that have passed in the book series-wise. I...I see things as "If it ain't broken, don't fix it" type of person. It will take me a bit to watch something that is a remake or reboot or continuation with a new twist. But I will take a shot at this one bc I LOVE the film version! But I will see this bc of curiosity and New Orleans is my home and would love to see it on screen once again. But because if Anne was on board with this before she died, before any filming began. Then I will see this and be a bit optimistic. It might surprise me.
@@stephaniefranco7764 Same here. This show is gradually winning me over, even though I’m still a bit unsure on where they are taking this story in the show.
As a fan of the books, I was admittedly skeptical when I heard of all the changes they were making for the show. But let me tell you, the changes WORK. Every single one has made context within the story so far, and while it is a different take from the books, the characters and themes of the original story are still there. It's the bones of this series, as are the astounding actors and actresses bringing these iconic characters to life.
I love that they did their auditions by zoom all from different parts of the world and in different time zones. It was 3 in the morning for Sam, 6 in the morning for the producers, a different time for Jacob, etc. So cool!
Makes sense to me ... phoning in performances for a cheap phoned in Anne Rice ripoff. They need to take her name off this show.
@@Fiveash-Art I had an ongoing email correspondence with Anne Rice for many years and I can assure you she would have loved this TV show.
@@Fiveash-Art These were the auditions and they had to do it by zoom because it was at the beginning of covid before there were any vaccines or anything yet and the whole world was in lockdown.
@@EM-fd8xe You mean the beginning of that giant psyop the central bankers, and technocrats were beta testing to see how far the people would submit to another invisible threat. 'Con-vid' was just another means to usher in their '4th industrial revolution' and a few more steps towards social credit scores via biometrics. 'vaccines' 😂🐑🐑 ... It's no wonder you like this stupid show. Looks to be just more social/political programming. ..... Enjoy. 🤮
You know I have to say this show was great and Anne Rice would have been so happy with this new adaption of Interview With A Vampire and The Mayfair Witches. This has a new feel to it and brings New Orleans vibe back to live and its alot better than 1994 Interview With A Vampire were Louis & Lestat and Claudia were always fighting and they made Claudia into a brat in the flim and this one is different. Sam Reid nailed Lestat were as Tom Cruise failed. Brad Pitt who played Louis wanted out of this project and there was tension on the set with Tom Cruise & Brad Pitt and in this new adaption they got it right**** I can't wait for season 2 and The Mayfair Witches as well I hope they do The Vampire Lestat Queen Of The Dammed Memonch The Devil and all the vampire stories that Anne Rice wrote on to the big screen...
these two shows basically sit down, take a humongous and unapologetic dump on Anne Rice's life's work, and you think she would like this tripe? This series is a complete destruction of the character of Louis. They took a dump on both Armand and Fareed's characters as well. This was well done enough to have been something of its own, thats the sad part. Its shit as an Anne Rice story but could have been something new with this cast and production value. All they needed was a story, and since they didn't even use the actual story, all this becomes is a slightly less horrible Rings of Power.
I must have seen the 1994 movie over a dozen times. I admit I had some reservations when I first heard about the remake, but after seeing this amazing Behind the Scenes, I'm so ready. Everything looks and feels so much richer and more nuanced. The same dark forlorn soul. Can't wait!
The first 2 episode where amazing. I can't wait to see where this series goes.
I am loving this series two episodes in. Sam Reid is my ideal for Lestat he's excellent, sexy, seductive, arrogant and a French aristocrat raised in a castle in the 1700s. I love how he speaks French and Italian in the show and there are many Easter eggs for us fans who have read the books. The retelling of this series made some smart artistic choices to update and augment the story. Jacob Anderson is excellent as Louis and the change of race for Louis and Lestat's interracial relationship adds some new flavors I am liking. I also like how this is a second interview for Daniel Molloy and Louis 49 years later after Daniel has had a long career as an awarded journalist and the scenes between them during the interview are great. Two thumbs up so far I am looking forward to the rest of the series and am thrilled it has already been renewed for season two!
Just binge watched all of season 1 (except the upcoming final episode) on Halloween. It truly IS fantastic!! I am one of those people for whom reading the Interview with a Vampire was a pivotal moment in my life, all those years ago. Am truly impressed by how they’ve tweaked things by making it a “second interview” and added the complexity of race to the already complex equation, but still managed to remain true & respectful to the original work… carrying the spirit brilliantly!! Thank you for this behind the scenes also! Really enjoyed 💯
This show is truly addictive. The season is way too short! I've never re-watched a tv seires so much in my life 🙃
How come I cant watch (epi 2) on regular AMC !!!?? UUUUUGGGG I hate yall!
AWWWW, so ahead of their time, a gay interracial couple!!! Totally possible in that era... IF YOU'RE A VAMPIRE!!!!!
I am so excited about this series but it will not be available in my country. I want to watch it legally and support the show. I will have to try to purchase it elsewhere.
I am very much looking forward to seeing this refreshing and modern reimagining of The Vampire Chronicles. From what I've seen so far, it seems like the characters will stay true to their book counterparts (which is most important to me as a huge fan). Lestat, in particular, is my favorite character and it looks like Sam Reid has played him beautifully, as does Jacob Anderson's Louis. From set design, to costumes, to the acting, I think I'm really going to love this! Can't wait til Oct 2nd!!! 🧛🏼♥️
Just watched the first episode on AMC. As a fan of the novel for almost 3 decades now, I can honestly tell you that they do stay true to the book counterparts. I hope you enjoy the show.
I have started watching the new "Interview with a Vampire" and I am really enjoying it. My favorite scene was when Louis finally got with LeStat and was floating in the air during an intimacy scene. This showed literally that LeStat had gotten "into" Louis on a very elemental way - which is scary and dark.
The trailer didn't sell me but this is. I can't wait.
Episodes 1-5 were Amazing! If you are a fan of the Vampire chronicles you will definitely enjoy it! Its cool because they add enough things to make things fresh and new but also correct to the source material! Cant wait for the next part of the series as well as The Mayfair Witches!
