AMC'S 'INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE' Series Finds It's Louis In Game Of Thrones Alum Jacob Anderson
Anne Rice’s “Interview With The Vampire” is being turned into a television series over at AMC Network. Sam Reid was recently cast as Lestat de Lioncourt. This role if you recall was famously played by Tom Cruise in the film.
The role of Louis in the upcoming AMC series, Deadline reports today, has been landed by Jacob Anderson (“Game of Thrones,” pictured above).
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.
We expect a slew of amazing talent to be pulled for this show and we can not wait to see what is in store for the Vampires we all know and love.
