… Lestat does everything in a big way-covers half the page with his magnificent lettering…
I feel like all the Vampire Chronicles books should just be renamed with a brief description of whatever adventures Lestat got up to in them
So books 1-10 would become
- Lestat’s Adventures with a Progressive Family
- Lestat’s Bisexual Adventures in 18th Century France
- Lestat’s Adventures with the Queen of the Vampires
- Lestat’s Adventures as a Human
- Lestat’s Adventures with Satan
- Lestat’s Adventures in a Coma
- Lestat’s Adventures with Polyamory
- Lestat’s Adventures in the Deep South
- Lestat’s Adventures with Not Being There At All
- Lestat’s Adventures with Witches and Other Weird Shit
11. Lestat’s Adventures in Fixing Everyone Else’s Problems [nodominion]

Anne Rice’s ‘Vampire Chronicles’ Takes Flight at Universal
Setting up a potential “Twilight”-like franchise, Universal Pictures has acquired movie rights to Anne Rice’s novels in “The Vampire Chronicles” series for Brian Grazer and Imagine Entertainment.
YOU GUYS.
According to Variety, Universal Pictures has acquired the production rights to multiple books in Anne Rice’s beloved Vampire Chronicles series, apparently including but not limited to The Vampire Lestat.
The first screenplay they mention within the article is an adaptation of Tale of the Body Thief, which you’ll remember is actually written by Anne’s son Christopher Rice.
The article mentions Interview with a Vampire and the latest book in the series, Prince Lestat, which raises the question of a remake of the Brad Pitt/Tom Cruise version of Interview we’ve all come to adore in its be-wigged glory.
Imagine President Erica Huggins will oversee the films for Imagine Entertainment, Bobby Cohen will be executive producer, and Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman are onboard to produce. The latter two are also known for teaming up on multiple projects such as Transformers, Now You See Me, Cowboys and Aliens, and Star Trek Into Darkness
which worries me just a little.No word yet on any release dates, but since Body Thief sounds like maybe it’s already being worked on, that might be the first to go, I’m not sure.
So. Thoughts? Dreamcasts? General freaking out? Hit me up at my askbox and let me know.
WHAT? WHAAAAAT?
I would love to see a film version of The Vampire Lestat (as long as it was better than Queen of the Damned), but … aaaugh! I am wary of that production team, who would write the script, and dear G-D, so many possible casting pitfalls.
I was still sitting there staring at the entrance to the tunnel when I heard fast crisp steps approaching, someone walking steadily, heavily and fast.
“Get up, Lestat.”
I turned and looked up into the face of my mother.
There she was after all these years in her old khaki safari jacket and faded jeans, her hair in a braid over her shoulder, her pale face like a porcelain mask.
“Come on, stand up!” she said, those cold blue eyes flashing in the lights of the burning building at the mouth of the tunnel.
And in that moment as love and resentment clashed with humbling fury, I was back at home hundreds of years ago, walking with her in those cold barren fields, with her haranguing me in that impatient voice. “Get up. Move. Come on.”
“What are you going to do if I don’t?” I snarled. “Slap me?”
And that’s what she did. She slapped me.
Gabrielle’s introduction in the novel Prince Lestat (Anne Rice)
I would rather have watched these outtakes than the movie, tbh.
LMAO Ok, so I actually used to LOVE this awful movie when it first came out. Feel free to judge, I was in only 7th grade at the time, and most films with darker themes were still new and fresh and exciting to me back then (thinking about it, the movie may have been my gateway into the VC universe). My opinion of it has changed pretty drastically since then. But I created some pretty fond memories with the friends I was close with in those days, when we would watch it together, so I can’t bring myself to hate it entirely. XD
But yeah, I really get the biggest kick out of seeing actors dressed up, but out of character, having a blast on movie sets. And as atrocious an adaptation (and, well…movie) as it is, Queen of the Damned’s gag reel is one of my favorites of any movie’s that I’ve seen. I’ll admit some of this has to do with nostalgia, but I think it’s mainly because as I watch it, it seems like the actors were frequently losing their shit during filming, and even themselves collectively going through feelings of WHAT IS THIS I DON’T EVEN WHAT DID I SIGN ON FOR, and it just makes me laugh how SO DONE they look, at times. I’m probably doing a lot of projecting here, but this is all just the impression I take away from what little we’re shown. And the cheesy big band music they chose to go with it just makes me love it that much more.
This is all only my own personal experience of course. I certainly don’t blame VC fans for hating it. TL;DR, this movie’s awful, but I could watch its ridiculous gag reel 5EVAR
