They need to scrap the idea of making The Vampire Chronicles into any more movies and just do a TV show called The Vampire Lestat on HBO or Showtime, or whatever. They can start with the second book, The Vampire Lestat (obvi), for season 1-Lestat’s origin, how he was turned, Nicholas, Marius, Louis, etc etc and see how it goes from there. There’s so much material, a 2 hour movie just isn’t enough for the characters or the storylines.
Yeah, and I’d be happy with a very freely adapted version of the books, a la what Hannibal does with Thomas Harris’s work. It could tell a lot of the same storylines without having to work its way through the books as written one by one, and they could play around a lot with inserting flashbacks as and when they wanted to either add new material or make the clunkier moments of storytelling in the books more concise.
Just go back in time and get this made pleeeeeeease. Nic Lea and Anne Rice = match made in something something.
^WHAT (you guys, watch the vid in the link bc HELP it’s giving me second-hand embarrassment for some odd reason)
“Anne Rice wrote the pilot about a group of higher beings who have taken human form in New York City and must battle nefarious forces not seen by mere mortals. Unfortunately it wasn´t picked up, so all that remains is this never aired pilot.”
