AMC Presents Panel At San Diego Comic-Con For 'Anne Rice's Interview With The Vampire'

[Outsiders]

AMC presented a panel for Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire at San Diego Comic-Con earlier today.  Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire will debut Sunday, October 2 at 10pm ET/9c immediately following The Walking Dead, with the series' first two episodes available on AMC+ that same night.

Based on Anne Rice's revolutionary gothic novel, Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire follows Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson), Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid) and Claudia's (Bailey Bass) epic story of love, blood, and the perils of immortality, as told to journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian). Chafing at the limitations of life as a black man in 1900s New Orleans, Louis finds it impossible to resist the rakish Lestat's offer of the ultimate escape: joining him as his vampire companion. 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.

As someone who was a fan as a kid of the Vampire Chronicles and read most of the books, and was a fan of the original Interview with the vampire movie, and the sequel which was fine enough, I don't think this hits like it should, I'm willing to give it a try, but I feel like if it was going to get a reboot a big budget film would have been nice.
