Oh wow, thanks kittyslover! He also has a tumblr: joshboonemovies. And perusing his archive, this guy likes EVERYTHING WE LIKE. He is steeped in Stephen King, and all kinds of other media that is VC-adjacent. I trust him.
(I think u mean Blood Paradise;The Vampire Lestat was published in 1985.)
We waited 7 years between Blood Canticle and Prince Lestat, not even expecting that there would ever be another VC! Supposedly they’re also working on adapting TVL and/or TOBT for the big screeeeen, so I think we can wait for BP ;]
I completely lost it at “and Marius, in a long simple burgundy colored velvet robe, would preside.” And lost it all over again at “Armand in finest burnt gold brocade and lace would be best man for Louis. David Talbot in dark hunter green velvet and white linen would be best man for Lestat.”
The film is slated to hit cinemas in 2018, but before that Boone is working on The Vampire Chronicles, a reboot based on the Anne Rice novels that were turned into Interview With The Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles with Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt.

“Earlier this month, Anne Rice fans had reason to rejoice as Universal Pictures scooped up the rights to the entirety of the author’s Vampire Chronicles . Now is seems plans to resurrect this forgotten franchise are heating up with rumors of a writer-director being hired.”
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.
As we near publication time for “Prince Lestat,” I’m often asked: what about the Wolf Gift characters? When will Reuben and Felix of Nideck Point return? Answer: I want to get back to Reuben and his fellow Morphenkinder as soon as I can. I see many novels ahead with the Wolf Gift cast of characters. But right now I am focused on a follow up to “Prince Lestat,” entitled “Blood Paradise” that continues thestory of Lestat and the vampire tribe in the second decade of the Twenty-first Century. I hope and pray the Wolf Gift Chronicles will be better for the delay. It helps sometimes to wait a year or more before continuing a series. But I am eager to return to Nideck Point; and I haven’t forgotten at all about Toby O’Dare of the Songs of the Seraphim. A third novel with Toby has been developing in my mind for years, a big novel in which Toby and his angel mentor, Malchiah meet many unique challenges. You could say I have a very crowded mind, a restless mind, a mind of conflicting story threads. I can’t claim credit for it; I was born with it. And I hope I will have the time to tell many more tales…. Thanks so much for your many questions. I appreciate them very much.
