I have come up with a list of things I would like to see in the new Vampire Chronicles film. Any comments and thoughts are welcome! Putting most of the post under a read-more for the sake of length:

• The film to be based on The Vampire Lestat with a healthy amount of flashbacks back to Interview with the Vampire, that way the unfamiliar audience understands the context in which the second book was written aren’t left too much in the dark. Completely erasing the first book out of the storyline doesn’t make much sense to me.
• Possibly starting the film with bits from Daniel and Louis’ interview and fast-forwarding to Lestat resurfacing in the 80′s (once he is first mentioned)?
• Nerdist says the film is based on TVL and Queen of the Damned, but it was last updated in 2014 and it’s the only source I’ve seen mention it, so I’m not sure how credible it is. Josh Boone has a picture on his instagram related to the Talamasca, so this may actually be true?

I will defend Antonio 5ever and argue his case as more of a Santino/Armand mashup than intentionally Armand. The QOTD!Armand was so horrendous that I don’t even want to know that actor’s name, apologies to him, it’s not entirely his fault.

Aside from that, there are some excellent points here, check out @firelight-fading‘s ideas, and share w/ your own *u*
