Angela (Angie) Barry-Florio recently graduated from MSMU in Los Angeles with a MFA in Creative Writing. Barry-Florio recieved her BA in Creative Writing from Ithaca College in New York. She grew up in the Bay Area in Oakland, CA and just finished writing her first horror novel, The City of Sirens.

The Big Picture The 1994 film Interview with the Vampire was a solid homage to Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles series, following the plot of the original novel, but lacked an important facet that Rice’s novels have become known for. In the film, vampires Lestat de Lioncourt and Louis de Pointe du Lac appear more like friends and traveling companions, when it is blatantly obvious that they’re lovers in the books.

Release Date 2022-00-00 Creator Rolin Jones Cast Sam Reid , Jacob Anderson , Eric Bogosian , Bailey Bass , Assad Zaman Main Genre Horror Seasons 2 The TV Show Portrays a Love Story, While the Movie Only Portrays a Friendship The television series begins much in the same way the movie and the book does, with Daniel Molloy interviewing Louis about being a vampire — but the show takes it a step further by revolving around a second interview that takes place years after the events of the book.

Lestat courts and seduces Louis in the TV show, whereas in the film, Lestat manipulates and tempts Louis with immortality alone. Lestat’s attraction towards and desire for Louis are palpable in the TV series, but the movie version of Lestat seems indifferent and frustrated with Louis’ inherent innocence. In the movie, when Lestat first bites Louis, Louis is incredibly drunk and depressed at the time, making him easy prey to be stalked.

The Acting And Chemistry Are Far Superior In The Show When it comes to the acting, Sam Reid gives by far the best portrayal of Lestat ever shown on-screen, embodying the Brat Prince flawlessly. His Lestat is extremely charming and irresistible but also toxic, manipulative, and abusive. Cruise’s version of Lestat is decent by comparison — certainly much better than Stuart Townsend’s version in Queen of the Damned, but Cruise also makes Lestat extremely unlikeable.
