![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In 2006, Elton John and Bernie Taupin penned their first Broadway score for Lestat, based on Rice’s Vampire Chronicles an upcoming AMC series The Vampire Chronicles is also inspired by the novels. The series, based on Rice’s book, is slated to begin production. Other novels in the Vampire Chronicles include The Vampire Lestat, The Queen of the Damned - loosely adapted into a 2002 film posthumously starring Aaliyah - and what was ultimately Rice’s final book in the series, 2018’s Blood Communion: A Tale of Prince Lestat. Australian actor Sam Reid has been tapped to star as Lestat in Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire series for AMC and AMC+. ![]() The film reignited interest in the book and likely sparked the many successful vampire works that have since followed it: True Blood, the Twilight series, The Vampire Diaries, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and more. The novel - the first book in what became an expansive series known as the Vampire Chronicles - wouldn’t become a cultural phenomenon until nearly two decades later, when a film based on Interview With the Vampire was released to theaters Rice wrote the screenplay herself, with Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Kirsten Dunst among the all-star cast. We don’t expect AMC to waste any time in connecting their Anne Rice series together and the Talamasca could be a way to bring Interview With the Vampire and Mayfair Witches together. ![]()
