Our First Clip From THE VAMPIRE LESTAT Shows One Angry Sam Reid

This clip from The Vampire Lestat closely resembles the beginning of Anne Rice’s 1985 novel of the same name, though there are some differences due to the adaptation for television. For instance, the show depicts Lestat contacting Louis in the present day, which doesn’t happen in the book until after Interview with the Vampire is published. The series also moves Lestat’s location from New Orleans to Montreal. However, key elements like Lestat’s fury over Louis damaging his reputation in a book, and the nearby band called Satan’s Night Out, are taken directly from the novel. Based on the trailers, it seems Lestat will be suing Louis for defamation, likely involving scenes with their lawyers.

In this clip from The Vampire Lestat, Lestat is particularly upset that fans seem to favor his longtime rival, Armand, for Louis’ attention. This seems to bother him even more than anything else. It’s likely to create tension when these two characters meet again, with their interactions expected to be as dramatic as a classic episode of Dynasty. The new trailer also reveals that The Vampire Lestat will premiere on AMC in June, coinciding with Pride Month.
