Interview with the Vampire Cast Interview: Jacob Anderson, Sam Reid, Bailey Bass, Eric Bogosian
Yes, we always want screen adaptations to honor source material, especially when that source material is an iconic Anne Rice novel. But, one of the most exciting things about seeing such a story brought to screen multiple times is it gives artists the opportunity to bring their own unique voices to it. Thats what we can expect from the team behind the upcoming Interview with the Vampire series over at AMC. Based on Rices 1976 novel, the show stars Jacob Anderson and Sam Reid as Louis de Pointe du Lac and Lestat de Lioncourt, the roles played by Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise in the 1994 film. As the shows official synopsis explains, Louis is struggling with the limitations of life as a black man in 1900s New Orleans so becomes tempted by Lestats offer of the ultimate escape becoming a vampire. Louis accepts, but his new powers spark violence and also great responsibility in the form of child vampire Claudia (Bailey Bass).
