AMC's Interview With the Vampire Takes a Queer Bite in First Trailer
Interview With the Vampire premiered Saturday following the show’s panel at Comic-Con earlier in the week. And it is queer, so very queer.
An adaptation of the late Anne Rice’s legendary and best-selling gothic horror novel published in 1976, the AMC series looks to be as queer as the story is in the books.
In the novel, Louis de Pointe du Lac details his life and death and vampire life to a reporter. Much of the tale revolves around Louis’s romance with his sire, Lestat de Lioncourt, along with their life with the 10-year-old turned vampire Claudia, whom they essentially adopt as their daughter.A film starring Brad Pitt as Louis, Tom Cruise as Lestat, and Kirsten Dunst as Claudia came out in 1994 to critical acclaim.
Dunst received a Golden Globe nomination for her performance.The new adaptation gets an update with Louis, played by Game of Thrones star Jacob Anderson, featured in a podcast with journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian).
