It’s been a while since we’ve had new Interview With The Vampire material, but that’s all about to change. Anne Rice has just announced that she is releasing a brand new Interview With The Vampire story, this time geared towards a “modern audience.”
This new book will be called Interview With The Vampire: Created For A “Modern Audience” and will be released in 2022 this year. In this blog post, we’ll take a closer look at what to expect from the new book.To do this, we will take a look at the plot of the original book, as well as the original movie script. Of course, this is just a very brief summary and we’re missing out on all sorts of details.
Do you know about the release date of Interview With The Vampire Series:
This series will be released in early 2022. Also, the series has been finished and is being translated now. The website has been updated. Because of this, translations will start to come next week and there will be another blog post to share the progress of the translators sooner or later.
Here is the plot of the Interview With The Vampire Series discussed:
The plot of the original Interview With The Vampire book and movie are very similar, so we’ll be comparing the two. Interview With The Vampire carries a dark tone throughout the story. Louis de Pointe du Lac and Lestat de Lioncourt are vampires, who tell their tales to a reporter named David. Apparently, Louis was turned into a vampire by Charles, who Louis would later slay in battle. As for Lestat, he killed his own brother, who was also a vampire to save his own life.

Were any of the events in Interview With The Vampire based on Anne Rice?
In this series, events are based on Anne Rice. In the film, Louis de Pointe du Lac is played by Brad Pitt, and Lestat de Lioncourt is played by Tom Cruise. Secretly, they live off human blood and kill to survive, but they also have their own way of life. They have many kinds of morals and rules that they stick to in order to keep them secret from humans.
Even if some individuals do not want this secrecy anymore, there are those in the vampire community who still want to live peacefully with humankind. They find happiness in keeping it secret from humans that vampires even exist at all.
What was the inspiration behind Lestat’s character development in the movie adaptation?
The inspiration for the character Lestat was Anne Rice writing about her own past experience. It is based on Anne’s life where she had a very close friend who died of cancer and wanted to live forever. This friend actually inspired her to write this novel. This friend was one of the things that brought the book into being for Anne Rice.
Did Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt have a lot of input into their characters’ development?
Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt had a lot of input into the development of Lestat, but not so much as Brad Pitt. However, Lestat’s character is based on Anne Rice’s life so both actors are a big part in having this feeling in the movie.
What did Anne Rice think of Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise as Louis and Lestat?
Anne Rice thought that they were great for the roles because she didn’t want them to be pale and almost white-looking vampires. She wanted them to have an aged look about their faces, even if their bodies are still very young appearing. This is why she chose these two actors for the roles.
How do you think Louis’ character arc affects the overall story arc?
The character arc of Louis affects the overall story arc because he is the main character of this book. Without him, we would not have a story at all. He also brings forward several other characters in this book as well. The fact that he kills his maker is what changes him and makes him change into a different type of vampire.
How do you think Lestat’s character arc affects the overall story arc?
The character arc for Lestat affects the overall story arc because it is such an important part in how Lestat’s life plays out throughout this entire series. He is a very important part of how this series goes and without him, we would not have had a series at all.

Why was there such a dark tone in this book compared to the movie?
The dark tone of this book compared to the movie is because Anne Rice writes the books in a diary-like format. This format makes them seem more personal and intimate, which fits the dark tone that they take on. In contrast, the film was more of an action movie that did not take on such a sad or strict mood as that of the novel.
