Bespin 8,650 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 OMG. At last. Lestat, this king of charmers and manipulators, a jaded vampire who has passed through all the hopes and despair that can live men and gods. But who will eventually meet the beautiful and tragic-hearted Louis who will end up almost causing his loss. An impossible love story transgressing all the taboos of men, going far beyond sexuality and labels. Do angels have sex... and what about the Gods? Finally, an adaptation that already promises to be more faithful, less watered down. Witness the tragic rise and fall of the Great Lestat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never read the books and don't really know much about them, and I can't remember if I ever saw the first movie or not, I know I did see the Queen of the Damned movie though. So I watched this trailer with a completely open mind, and it seemed interesting for a while, then kinda got silly eventually. I think there's been so much vampire content in the last 10 years, they've just run out ways to make vampire life and vampires biting people interesting any more. I dunno. Weird that it looks like the show will have both modern day scenes and old timey scenes? And wasn't the movie about a teenage girl (Kirsten Dunst?) Why isn't she in this trailer?

Well, Anne Rice's novels from the Vampire Chronicles series (started in 1976... only the first 5 novels are about Lestat) was the "ones" that opened the Bal moderne and settled the "rules" for the other franchises (Twilight, True Blood, The Vampire Diaries, etc.). Then yes it's a Vampire story so we travel in tme. The story of the first novel starts with the memories of Louis, in the 1920s in Nouvelle Orléans, when he met Lestat and was transformed by him. Years laters, when Louis tell his story to a journalist, we are in the present. Then, the child-Vampire Claudia... ah.... a beginner's error of Louis (who never really accepted his fate)... Never transform a child... you'll understand why it's non-written rule among Vampires... Then the Chronicles will follow the quest of Lestat thought the ages, because he's an old Vampire... You'll meet even more older Vampires, the origin of the curse (we think) called the Queen of the Damned, a pre-Egyptian Queen... But who's Lestat? We'll eventually learn he was there at the crucifixion of Jesus... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bespin 8,650 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 For me, Anne Rice hitted the right spot with her novels: what it's really like to be immortal? Is it really fun? And what about the Vampire loneliness? What are the psychological impacts of seeing all the people you love die? To have known The Christ, Johann Sebastian Bach and then David Bowie? Can we survive the test of time and fashion? Her novels went very far, it was not comedy. We were in the metaphysics of Good and Evil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bespin 8,650 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 It still seems very promising. Those seductive vampires taking advantage of all the excesses of the times in which they lived.... it almost makes you want to join them... But I remember after reading all The Vampire Chronicles, I didn’t want to be a vampire at all! NEVER! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Dutton 7,207 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 I started AMC Interview with the Vampire season 2. I thought season 1 was very entertaining and it felt true to the spirit of the novels. The follow-up is actually pretty good so far. I had my doubts considering casting changes, but it's once again an instant purchase season pass on Prime. Highly recommended!

tomsmoviemadness 3,422 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 It's been on my watchlist ever since the first season started, but still haven't got to it. Your comments make me very curious and I'll make sure to start it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dutton 7,207 Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 It's one of the best shows I've ever seen and I went in with low expectations.

I’m glad you like it, I might give it a watch one day, but I’ve had enough of sad rich immortal vampires crying in their glass of blood over how miserable they are. If I want that, I can watch the great Jordan film anytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Dutton 7,207 Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Seems like I'm the only person watching this show and the ratings are apparently shite for this season. Meanwhile it's the best show on TV.

tomsmoviemadness 3,422 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 I started this today. I've seen 1 episode and I very much liked it. Great storytelling and what great performances by Jacob Amderson & Sam Reid. Excited to continue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsmoviemadness 3,422 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Finished season 1 and thought it was outstanding!! The 4 leads are fantastic. All giving great storylines, character development and juice material to play with. Writing is also done really well. Each episode having it sort of its own thematic core, while as a whole having one arc and it works brilliant. Daniel Hart's score also adds a lot to the score. It's beautiful romantic, dark, gothic and just stunning. Happy I don't have to wait for season 2!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
