Hello! I’m flattered that you think so, but I don’t have behind-the-scenes access on the VC TV series, much as I’d like to have it! But I try to be the person who would know at least something about it. I can’t be watching for the news 24/7 so I rely on ppl to shoot links at me of posts from the Official VC FB page, tweets from Anne or Christopher Rice, news articles, etc., something that seems relevant and not just teasing! They do alot of teasing. VC casting crowdsourcing requests.
There was a video posted to the OVCFB (this one from 5/4/17, I think? I can’t watch it now) where AR discussed the state of things, @firelight-fading was good enough to make a recap of the pertinent points!
The most recent thing, which I didn’t post about, oddly, I’ll make a post for it after this, is that the Rices met with Bryan Fuller about the project. He’s been a VC fan for a looooong time:
Was so enamored with Anne Rice’s Interview With a Vampire that, at age 15, he tracked down her phone number and called her, asking to do the screenplay adaptation. When she informed him that producer Julia Phillips owned the rights to the novel, he then called her; she was kind, but firm, in rebuffing him.
Chris gave him homemade shortbread cookies when they met. We all know Bryan’s chomping at the bit for Hannibal, but maybe he can hook the Rices up with someone who’s as passionate about VC as he is, or he can serve in some kind of advisory role? Idk!
OTHER THAN ALL THAT… Currently, to my knowledge, there’s no *new* news. Check my #VC News tag to see some of the past news, and watch the tag for any updates!
AR did post this yesterday (9/19/17), nothing concrete, just that it’s still in the works:
