So interestingly as of 4th of November the official IMDB page for the new film has changed to The Vampire Chronicles. And now seems to be officially in pre-production.
@i-want-my-iwtv do you have any news?
I don’t have any other news but I’ll share yours, good find, @claudias-ashes! IT’S REALLY HAPPENING!
However, I would suggest that this is still just a temporary title, bc Josh Boone intends to adapt TVL and include some of IWTV in it, do a trilogy and possibly a TV series for ALL the side characters, so for now, it’s probably safest to put it all under this blanket title. @phoenifia/@firelight-fading linked us to an article about that, here’s the relevant snippet:
But the fact that the status was updated to “Pre-production” so recently is promising!
Of course I can’t find it now but @laurasking and I were rolling around the idea that it could be great to have this film begin in a darkened theatre, playing movie!IWTV, and then we pull back to see Lestat is watching it there by himself. He rented the theatre just to watch it on the big screen ALONE, …he stops the film, slings an arm over the back of the chair beside him, and he turns around in his chair to look at the viewer and break the 4th wall with:
“Do you believe this garbage? *gestures at the screen* Let me tell you what really happened.”
