Anne & Stan Rice – 1962
Is this a screencap from Mad Men? Stan is so dapper (but also he has a touch of like, Macauley Culkin from Richie Rich, no?), Anne is like a gotdamn illustration LOOK AT THOSE CHEEKBONES DAMN.
But I think @monstersinthecosmos‘ tags say it all:
#the parents#anne rice#stan rice#i’m constantly shocked how much chris looks like stan#it’s adorable#good news cause he was a handsome dude#I JUST FEEL LIKE WHEN I LOOK AT THIS PICTURE#IT MAKES ME LAUGH#cause they look relatively normal#AND YOU WOULD HAVE NO IDEA#kinkiest freaks#adorable
I just met Anne and Christopher and they actually talked to me…. I’m so elated. :D
Niiiiiice! Tell us the whole story! What did you talk about?
Interesting update.
Also, today’s casting call is Lestat!
I do like how much they are including us fans.
[X] OVCFB, 12/5/16.
Please check Anne Rice’s facebook page, she’s talking about a television series!! She said she has the theatrical rights for Vampire Chronicles once again!! A TELEVISION SERIES OMG
YES. WOW. A TV series could cover a lot more ground than one movie or a trilogy/series of movies, and lock in a cast for a long period of time, lots of benefits to that medium! The way TV series seem to invite fan engagement lately is also a factor, whether it’s a negative or a positive is up to how the showrunners handle that… fanservice can be good or bad.
(I got a ton of messages like this in the past few days, catching up on them is like trying to drink from a fire hydrant and I love it, the booksigning last night actually really helped settle my thoughts on it all.)
^I feel like I’m Lestat asking ppl to scooch over to I can rejoin you all in this madness *u*
So this is relatively old news even though it was only 5 days ago that the bomb dropped on us, we’re all reacting in our own way, I’ve seen some of the posts and will be sharing/reblogging them, from what I can tell so far there’s a lot of anticipation, anxiety, support, and also disappointment and what the heck happened w/ Josh Boone?!, the main questions seem to be:
Who is going to join the team now?! and,
Will this adaptation be faithful to the books?!
In answer to these, at the booksigning last night (11/30/16), AR had this to tell us about the new TV series:
- It’s been 8 yrs that the adaptation has been in the works in Hollywood, but she didn’t elaborate on what kept it from progressing (AR and CR must know, they’ve probably learned a thing or two about what obstacles lie in their path on this, I feel like they can navigate these things better now than ever before).
- Their official VC FB has gotten 2.8 million hits and thousands of shares so far!
- AR and CR are writing the pilot episode and a treatment for the first 2 seasons. And it seems like they want to perfect their vision before inviting others onto the team.
- Their agents are deluged w/ phone calls from producers and studios who want to talk with AR and CR whenever they’re ready 😀
- AR thinks it’s gonna work out this time. She and Christopher recognize that TV and film are collaborative art forms, and there will be compromise, but they will be polite and firm that it’s not gonna happen if it’s not the way they want it to be. <– Appears to be their commitment to be faithful to canon.
- This whole book tour is celebratory of them getting the rights back ❤
Stay tuned to #VC News…
So my brain can barely process this. The Vampire Chronicles (they’re wanting to do The Vampire Lestat first) done by Bryan Fuller!!!!!
Please universe…please make this happen for me!

BREAKING NEWS: Anne Rice could write RPF of Chris Rice/Chris Hemsworth action.
Bless this family.
I WANT PANCAKES WHERES THE LADY WHO MAKES PANCAKES?
^THIS. omg. Why doesn’t this have a bazillion notes? It really should.
//are you meeting Anne Christ in person? that’s so cool! :D
She was JUST taking the stage when your message popped in, yes, I met her tonight at the booksigning! Full report to follow.
For now, I will report:
- There will be 2-3 more books in the VC following Prince Lestat.
- She’s got a meeting with Universal Studios and Imagine Entertainment re: Tale of the Body Thief and other book-to-movie adaptations in November.
- She had asked Christopher to write the Tale of the Body Thief script on spec, for free, bc the attempts they had seen of any VC scripts were horrendous and they wanted to get it moving. Needless to say, his script was fabulous and that’s what started the wheels turning.
- She has had the same editor for 40+ years and compared their relationship to a marriage.
