Anne Rice’s “Interview With the Vampire” is being turned into a new television series over at AMC, with Sam Reid recently cast as Lestat de Lioncourt. That was the role Tom Cruise played in the feature film from the 1990s, with Brad Pitt co-starring as Louis.
The role of Louis in the upcoming AMC series take on the material, Deadline reports today, has been landed by Jacob Anderson (“Game of Thrones,” pictured above, center).
Rolin Jones (“Friday Night Lights”) is creating, showrunning, and writing the series, which is expected to take a bite out of AMC and AMC+ sometime in 2022.
The Anne Rice catalog that AMC Networks has acquired features The Vampire Chronicles series: Interview with the Vampire, The Vampire Lestat, The Queen of the Damned, The Tale of the Body Thief, Memnoch The Devil, The Vampire Armand, Pandora, Vittorio the Vampire, Blood and Gold, Prince Lestat, Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis, and Blood Communion: A Tale of Prince Lestat; The Lives of The Mayfair Witches series: The Witching Hour, Lasher, Taltos; and The Vampire Chronicles/The Lives Of The Mayfair Witches crossover novels: Merrick, Blackwood Farm and Blood Canticle.
A “Lives of the Mayfair Witches” series, on that note, is also in the works.
