The cast is having a panel at SDCC which is supposed to drop a longer trailer.  Nice seeing more footage and finally learning a bit more about the series.

FUN! I haven't been to SDCC in years, but I always had a good time when I went. I will look out for it.

Interview with the Vampire     October 2        AMC/AMC+        7 episodes

[ShadowHunter]

Well the trailer is certainly erotic so that's something. Between Tom Cruise and the studio that was left out of the 1994 adaptation. 

[nodorothyparker]

This is either going to be a wildly successful readaptation or a complete flaming trainwreck. It looks lush enough, so that's something.

I've long loved the books and even loved the '94 film when Brad Pitt was at his zenith of long-haired pretty, but I'm open to seeing what they do with it.

[AnimeMania]

AMC+ will air the first 2 episodes of this seven episode series on October 2 at 10pm, while AMC will air one. 

Jacob Anderson plays Eric Bogosian, a podcaster interviewing Louis.

Louis de Pointe du Lac, a 200 year-old vampire who recounts his bloody life story to a podcast reporter.

Sam Reid plays Lestat de Lioncourt, the vampire that turned and romantic interest of Louis.

Bailey Bass plays Claudia, a 10 year-old vampire that Louis and Lestat consider their “daughter”.

[nodorothyparker]

Everything I'm seeing says eight episodes.

Louis is no longer 200 years old if they're changing the setting of his mortal life to 1910. Bailey Bass, the actress playing Claudia, is 19 so they're obviously aging that character up well past what they did for the '94 movie when a then 11-year-old Kirsten Dunst portrayed her. 

Eric Bogosian is playing Daniel Malloy, which is another change as Daniel was a fairly young man when he interviewed Louis for what became the book. Jacob Anderson is playing Louis, which is kind of an interesting choice as American audiences primarily know him as the eunuch soldier Grey Worm on Game of Thrones. He looks fine enough in the trailer though. I'll admit I'm completely unfamiliar with Sam Reid as Lestat. 

[ShadowHunter]

At Comic Con they said 8 episodes.

[AnimeMania]

Collider and Deadline say it is 7 episodes.

[AngieBee1]

AMC+ has the US broadcasting righta to GANGS OF LONDON and while Sky Atlantic categorized the series as having 10 episodes, AMC+ listed the first two episodes as one. Likely what AMC is doing in this situation.

[nodorothyparker]

That's what TVLine says too. AMC is notorious for airing the first two episodes of a season back to back and treating it like one episode. 

Quote

We also learned that the series will debut on Sunday, Oct. 2 at 10/9c. The first two episodes will be available to stream on AMC+ that same night.

[AnimeMania]

In the AMC TV Series, Claudia will be 14.

This is baked into the plot of the show, that Daniel already interviewed Louis (and perhaps published that book) when he was young, and is now interviewing him again to try and get at the truth (i.e. the changes Louis makes in the story that he's now telling in the tv show.)  I also personally wonder if he might later be merged with the character of David Talbot to 'correct' his aging up.  

Anyway, I think this looks like a really interesting take on the material and I'm looking forward to it.

I like the trailer a lot. I’m going to get AMC+ to watch. 

[nodorothyparker]

Again, I think this is either going to be a really amazing reimaging or a trainwreck of epic proportions. I'm still seeing the possibilities for it to go either way.

[nodorothyparker]

[Snow Apple]

I wasn't sure about all the changes but the trailer looks intriguing. And the actors are gorgeous. I'm in for eight episodes. They'll show all episodes on regular AMC right? I don't want to pay for another service.

Yes, it'll be on regular AMC, as well as AMC+ a week early. 

At this point, some sources say it'll be 7 episodes, others say 8. 

I have the special that was aired on Sunday on my DVR, I plan to watch it tonight.

I didn't know about a special. Too many channels and streaming services to keep up. I hope there's a rerun.

[Mr. Sparkle]

It was a behind the scenes special. I'm watching it now! If your cable company has on demand, it might be there.

I think I read that it will premier the first two episodes as a block, effectively a two-hour opener. AMC loves to do that with it's higher profile shows. 

Interesting early review. It's a little spoilery in laying out how some of this is going to be reimagined, but it sounds promising.

There is AMC (cable On-demand/channel) that will air one episode and another platform AMC+ (the paid streaming service version) that will stream two episodes and allow viewers to see each episode one week ahead of the AMC viewers.

‘Interview With the Vampire’ Renewed for Season 2 at AMC

The 8-episode second season will be set in Europe.

[AnimeMania]

For people with AMC+, I believe that the first episode of Interview with the Vampire is available to watch now.

Excellent news. It's nice starting a new series and already knowing it will be back for another season. Take a lesson Netflix. Maybe AMC can become the home of Vampires time to kick the Zombies to the curb lol.

Interview With The Vampire Yule Log  -  1 Hour

[Mr. Sparkle]

Something happens at 5:32 and again at about 32:15

[nodorothyparker]

Outlander did the same gag last year with two of the stars reading a book they'd just put out, drinking whiskey, and eventually falling asleep in front of the fire.

[Scarlett45]

I learned today that Bailey Bass (Claudia) is playing Tsireya in Avatar: The Way of Water. Her vocal coach is good because I didn’t recognize her voice at all. 

[AngieBee1]

No Bailey Bass for season two.https://deadline.com/2023/03/interview-with-vampire-claudia-delainey-hayles-replaces-bailey-bass-recasting-season-2-1235315289/

 

 

[Mr. Sparkle]

Too bad, she's talented. Probably the Avatar schedule is too hectic. 

[AngieBee1]

I hope it's her AVATAR obligations but her AVATAR 3 was filmed at the same time as THE WAY OF WATER and the first act of AVATAR 4 was filmed then as well. And as 4 takes place on Earth and a different land, Bailey wouldn't necessarily be in that film much.

 

Her mom-ager posted a quote about better things come to those who are patient and the best things come to those who don't give up, which feels to me that it wasn't Bailey's call. But who knows.

 

[AnimeMania]

Filming of "Interview with the Vampire" Season 2 has started in Prague, filming is scheduled for Paris and New Orleans as well.

[Mr. Sparkle]

Talamasca series in the works. Will it be more Interview or more Mayfair? Only one way to find out...

I really enjoyed Bailey in the role, I wish her all the best. I am not familiar with Delainey Hayles but I look forward to seeing what she can do.

I think it would be cool if they kept them in the same universe and we could have cross overs. 

[Glade]

All the shows are under the same 'Immortal Universe,' for good or ill.  Hopefully the Talamasca series will be centered around Jesse, as it does seem QOTD is to be parceled out between the Night Island miniseries, a Fang Gang miniseries and now this show.

Assuming the strike is settled, of course. 

Is that supposed to be Louis in the suit?
