The Consulting Analyst Masterpost: Interview with the Vampire
-Vrai KaiserInterview with the Vampire is a lot of things. A queer love story. A moving depiction of debilitating depression. Sometimes heartrending in its prose and sometimes an equally beautiful trainwreck. Frequently problematic from a modern perspective and yet unspeakably important as both an influential work of vampire fiction and one of the few widely-available works for queer kids to see themselves in. Above all, it’s dear to my heart. Which is probably why I spent several months flailing over it in considerable detail (along with the culture and various adaptations around it).
The entire series of essays is here collected for your reading pleasure – with plenty of time to catch up before we move to the next book.

re: vc casting. I totally could see Devin Oliver as Lestat.
I’ve never heard of this Devin Oliver (sounds like Ricean name, doesn’t it?) before this very Ask, he is apparently the frontman in the band I See Stars, so already, big plus, a singer! (I haven’t heard their stuff but anyway I assume he can sing… I am pretty generous about singers).
TL;DR I would screen test him! Hurl him in AR’s direction!
The other thing I’d like about smne like Devin who is already a frontman w/ a band, is that it would be amazeballs to have REAL Lestat concerts, either pre-TV series release, or during (or both, both is good). ACTUAL TOUR DATES & MERCH CAN YOU EVEN??
I can’t watch any vids rn but I’m sure he has tons out there, I just went through some of his Insta… and… yes plz. These are all pics from there, w/ some commentary added… >;}
^Obligatory fashion shots, bc he looks gr9 in a suit and he does model-face well, too.
^Obligatory selfies bc you know Lestat takes tons of selfies. Very nice bedhead, bro what product(s) do u use??
^Has the exact build of my headcanon for Lestat, buff but not too muscular, also, man-bun ❤
^shot w/ a little side pec action and biceps hnngggg….
Hit the jump for more, cut for length.
^C’mon this is very #Lestatuesqe, or, in this case, #actual 7 year old, don’t even try to argue w/ me about that.
^IDK his orientation but I hope he’d be willing to play a bisexual/pansexual/omnisexual character 😀
^This is the only decent gif I could find quickly, he is currently blond, but on a purely superficial level I approve of this smile and jawline, etc.
Dammit are The Vampire Chronicles a thing again
(Image description: line drawing of Louis and Lestat from the Vampire Chronicles.)
Yes they are a thing again ❤
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…

Please universe…please make this happen for me!
BRYAN PLEASE
OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDD
@novellaqueen HOLY SHIT
PLEASE
BRYAN I BEG YOU
Please check out this Facebook page if you want to give your input on the new tv series!
So if ya’ll didn’t see @claudias-ashes‘ post, Christopher Rice, along with mama Anne, set up a Facebook page for fans to give their input on the series and on the casting for the new television show for our beloved Vampire Chronicles at https://www.facebook.com/officialvampirechronicles/
I highly advise everyone to take a look and to also comment their fancasts and their wishes for the series as I have begun to do so. If you look at the most recent post, they are currently casting for Armand, and right now, no offense to the others, the comments are pretty dreadful, with namedropping some actors who are WAY too old to play Armand (though, there are a few good suggestions).
Anne Rice Developing ‘Vampire Chronicles’ TV Series
I am cautiously optimistic? If they get the casting right (GO WITH AGE-APPROPRIATE UNKNOWNS, PLEASE!!), this could be great. I’ve said for ages that the Vampire Chronicles needed to be a series.
