Recently, according to foreign media deadline reports, "Night Interview with Vampires" will make a drama version. AMC has booked an entire season of the show, with eight episodes scheduled to air in 2022.
AMC took over the rights to Anne Rice's famous "Vampire Chronicles" novel series last May, and now Night Interview with the Vampire is the first of its approved series, with Rolin Jones ("Detective Mason") as the writer and operator of the show, and the entire vampire series series is developed by Mark Johnson of Breaking Bad. Anne and her son Christopher Rice serve as non-screenwriter executive producers.
Johnson said: "The challenge of adapting Anne Rice's famous work into television is daunting and exciting. I've made this type of film before and believe I can meet this challenge with AMC and Lorraine Jones. Keep Anne Rice's loyal fans and other audiences excited and entertained. ”
Dan McDermott, president of AMC Original, said: "Ever since we won the rights to the Vampire Chronicles novel series last year, we have been looking forward to this day. The novel series has millions of fans around the world, and we can't wait to share Lorraine and Mark's new interpretation of this classic. We will also continue to work hard to develop the entire series. ”
The Novel Interview with the Vampire was published in 1976 and the film was released in 1994. Starring Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Kirsten Dunst, and directed by Neil Jordan, it focuses on the love-hate feud of a group of vampires such as Lester. In the 18th-century state of Louisiana, Louis (Brad Pitt), the owner of the manor who lost his wife and daughter, met the vampire Lestat (Tom Cruise), who cast a spell to become a vampire. Louis is humane and unwilling to suck blood and kill people, and lives by sucking the blood of animals, while Lestatt is bent on teaching Louis to be a true blood sucker.
In New Orleans, Louis can't resist the temptation to suck the blood of the little girl Claudia (Kirsten Dunst), while Lestatt turns Claudia into a vampire despite Louise's objections. Three people form a peculiar family. The family has gone through hundreds of years of upheavals, and in 1988 Louis returned to New Orleans to tell a young journalist, Malloy (Christian Slater), about his experiences, about the grief behind the vampire's immortality...
