Interview With The Vampire: San Diego Comic-Con 2022 

The way Sam and Jacob look at eachother

Sam's face every time Baily would say something bad about Lestat was priceless!!!! This show is the BEST TELEVISION I've seen in years!!! I cannot wait for season 2! I hope this show wins all the awards!!!

Their chemistry wow..

sam reid is indeed lestat.. in the flesh.. it breaks my heart that ann rice may have passed away without seeing her beloved lestat finally come to life.. sam is eveyrthing anne would have wanted lestat to be on screen. funny.. powerful.. spoiled.. evil.. and sexy as hell.. I love this show..

Oooo! So instead of being an eternal child, Claudia is an eternal crazy hormonal teenager with all kinds of super strong emotions all over the place and mood swings and she will probably be rebellous and other teenage things. Interesting. Looking forward to see how they do this.

It's good to see a Lestat that is "Lestat". For as much as I enjoyed Tom Cruise and Stewart Townsend in the role, Sam Reid is owning and "killing" it.

Ok am not shipping.. but bro.. the way they look at each other.. I so much love the show and the actors are killing it.. thump up guys

This show is so good. So so good. From the writing to the performances to the overall aesthetic, A+. And nice to see all of these actors who are at very different stages of their lives and careers, debating issues relating to mortality and humanity. Just amazing. Thank you guys for this.

I saw both versions. This version is amazing. To me the characters are more developed. I love the dialoque as well. Very seldom do you see a remake better than the original.

Louis and Lestat are the one couple in the novels that are written as soulmates, but I've never heard a more accurate description of their relationship than when Jacob Anderson said they're like home to each other. He clearly understood the assignment.

I never cared about these characters until this show. Super love everyone in the cast.

I've never been hooked on a show this fast and with only 2 episodes watched. Sam and Jacob are so perfect in these roles, I need more. I haven't read the books or watched the movie. Ordered the books and can't wait to read and imagine Sam and Jacob as my Lestat and Louis. Beautiful casting and their chemistry in the show and in interviews is insane. You have another hit AMC. Promote it well.

I really love this show. And I really appreciate that they have given Louis more than what his was in the books. They have evolved him let him have more agency and presence. I also like today let Lestat be more than what the first book was about all the books into fill out lestat. In looking at some of the books I always felt it was a shortcoming of Anne Rice that she did not let Louis evolve that she kept him at the same place. I think it was a very neglectful mistake. That I have loved about the show they're not neglecting Louis they're letting him evolve.

IWTV is absolutely amazing. I read ALL the books and the way they've updated the story is perfect. I had my doubts about making Louis black but the change made this character more awesome and complex. Can't wait for season 2!

It’s so cute that Sam and Jacob tend to sit the same way. Legs crossed with one arm over the other. Mirroring, right?

Watching the other three lose it laughing when Eric just spoils a huge reveal of the show is so funny.

I swear Sam and Jacob own my heart! I just love their bond with each other and they have such obvious chemistry! October can’t come any sooner 😭✨

this was suuuuch a lovely interview!!! kudos to the interviewer! also losing it at sam and jacob AGGRESSIVELY heart eyeing each other

It’s so significant that Sam and Jacob haven’t ever fought while working on set. The show would honestly never have been nearly as excellent if they didn’t have any chemistry of some degree.

Love Sam saying there’s no room for interpretation they are lovers, husbands and that’s that on that ❤

The way that Jacob and Sam are mirroring one another in their postures is utterly dazzling! These two are closer than close and it is brilliant to observe❣️

this show is A+++. I'm obsessed with louistat.

And if I say I’ve rewatched this interview multiple times every week for a month, what then?

I love this cast more than i have any other cast I've ever had the pleasure of watching. The Acting is beautiful.

The show is so good! They all did such a good job

Are they literally wearing the same jacket just in a different color

Bruh I felt way too emotional when Jacob said he couldn't wait to see other Anne Rice fans see the show and say "yes, these are the characters I know and love" because that's EXACTLY how I felt. These are the characters I envisionned when I was reading the books. These are the stories and dynamics and relationships I've wanted to see onscreen (no shade to the movie I still like it but. I mean. Come on)

Look like sparks are flying during this interview 🤩🤩 the acting on this show is top tier. I love Claudia

6:09 cute JAM moment, 7:50 Sam’s face tho XD, 9:35 cute JAM moment, 12:34 cute Sam!

I can´t with Sam's voice

Any notice Jacob and Sam mirroring each other? ❤️😊 they're amazing. I wouldn't be surprised if they actually fell in love with each other because damn the chemistry is off the charts. I haven't believed in a pairing since Michael and Nikita from the Canadian series "La femme Nikita" 🔥🔥🔥

I love this cast! They seem so sweet and intelligent 😄

The series is wonderful. The acting is top notch, the look of the show is splendid. I watched the first season and immediately watched it again 😁.

Looking forward to seeing this .

they are DEFINITELY my characters, my lestat my louis my claudia and my daniel

This was soooo good! I can't wait for season 2. This is the best adaptation of the book I've ever seen

I was only on AMC for the zombies but then I decided to give this show a try and OMG I was IN LOVE immediately! Saw the first movie but THIS! Their Love is so chaotically beautiful and dysfunctional and CLAUDIA 😍 I can't wait for season 2. This interview is amazing showing me that the chemistry on screen is the same in real life. I love everything about this new obsession of mine!

ok. i'm feeling confident now that i've heard them speak about the dynamic between Lestat, Louis and Claudia. They GET it.

i agree the soundtrack is brilliant and the song " come to me" has been in my head for a week!

I've been really reticent about the time shift (mostly because it messes up the rest of the storyline so much, even if they've kept Lestat being born in the 1700s), but I do think that this being a "second interview" rather than a straight adaptation is a pretty neat idea (in that yes, it allows for more of the latter books to be added in and it solves the problem with repetition once -- fingers crossed -- they get to The Vampire Lestat). But most of all, the way the cast (Sam Reid being a true fan especially) has been talking about the characters and the books has been so perfect that I'm willing to put the rest of my suspicions aside and just be excited for this.

so refreshing to see a cast that really seem like family this is the best-written show and best cast the chemistry is very welcoming I cannot wait till the second season to start.

I wouldn’t have ever known this show was even being made had it not been for my IG algorithm showing me an Ad for this. Excited to watch this in 25 days🤞. Just got done rewatching GOT too, nice to see Grey Worm😅

God, I really, really, really hope they do Anne and the books justice. I'm intrigued and very excited to see the show, so I guess that's something. I recently reread all the novels when Anne passed and the nostalgia of reentering that world was strong. I hope the show can touch on that.

Omg did Tatiana just quote Logan Echolls?! That’s so fitting, I love it.

The Veronica Mars reference was *chef's kiss*.

Gotta say, I was unsure what to think after I saw the trailer but the cast's passion for this version of the story is contagious. After watching a couple of interviews I am genuinely excited for this show to come out. Also love love LOVE the lack of queerbaiting, knowing this version of the story is openly and cannonicaly queer (on the screen!!) gives me life. One thing I will say is that the costume design in the movie had a wonderful color theme (basically blue, green, purple) that I wish they'd kept. It really channaled anne rice and helped solidify the charecters as even more iconic (especially lestat with his blues and louis with his greens). Oddly enough the fact that didn't make it into the show saddens me more than the time period change or the changes in charecters. Then again, what do I know, I'm just a little costume design enthusiast. Still excited for the show!!!!

Hasta como actores a Sam y Jacob se les siente mucha quimica.. dios sus interacciones me encantan

4:25 I feel so sorry for Jacob's neck

and please!! do more supernatural scenes like the card game in episode one where lestat stops time, and start time smacking the table, thats fantastic!!! and the talking in people head, all the new stuff realy grab us please!!! keep that.

"epic, spanning years and continents, lives ruined, bloodshed" being a veronica mars otp quote used to describe loustat....i just have a type dont i

omggggg i'm so excited!!!!!!!!

I wish Screen Rant ask differently than basic questions. You could've asked about preparation for Louisiana accent etc.

6:00 Oh they are giving me serious Shumdario Vibes. They are so sweet.

aah, my heart! i don’t think i’ll be ready for how good this series is going to be. don’t fail me, amc! ;____;

I am already deep invested to this show, it sounds pretty amazing by the way they are talking...

I love them

6:09 Awww

"Spoken like Lestat" perfect ... What a wonderful interview. Bailey Bass is phenomenal both in this interview and as Claudia!

Awesome interview !!

Sam was a book fan!? Hah!!

"Well, anyway" Eric did not care 😂

I would die for them

The Veronica Mars quote was perfectly slipped in! Kudos to the interviewer 👏🏾👏🏾

Very interesting interview 🎉😊😊

Great interview!

Such huge spoilers in this!!!

I'm so excited for this show 💕

Why is Assad Zaman (Rashid/Armand) in none of the press interviews ever? :(

La química es tan fuerte entre los dos que se nota en las miradas cómplices la sonrisa y hasta cómo estan sentados Sam y Jacob ...el lenguaje corporal lo confirma❤❤..es hermoso el vínculo

Really good interviewer

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

4:20 +, 9:10 +, 9:45, 11:50, 12:40 Sam laughs

Yesssss

I like all of the characters but I do find Lestat's Queenly nature to be annoying. Dude talks so much I wish someone would knock him out 🤣 but I never read The IWTV novel so maybe he is this annoying in that book. I just know the character from The Vampire Lestat and he's so cool in that book. I want that Lestat. I kind of felt like Louie was way more cool honestly. The show kind of seems like it's making Louis Lestat in the whole outing the vampire race thing which is super weird. I haven't finished the show so I don't know what that whole bit is about yet but I do suspect the Middle Eastern boy is a character from the books probably Armand because I recall him being described as boyish.

😍😍😍😍

I feel like the actor who is playing Lestat could have been a better cast for Marius :/. But we'll see!

He looks more Marius to me then Lestat

Am I the only one that can feel like Sam Reid's french accent is struggling to b heard when he speaks? Or maybe it's just me? No? Okay....

Love this show!!!!... but...why in all the interviews I've seen.... does Ms.Bass always give this mean side eye...or a rude attitude towards Jacob....he seems to be nothing but kind

Superman does not need to be played by a super ripped actor, his strength comes from his alien physiology and not from his muscles, this is evident from his Superboy days and that scrawny cousin o f his Supergirl. So using this logic, lets say a movie studio casts a guy who weighs 400lbs to play Superman, and knowing fans will be pissed at this, the studio and the woke critics make the statment that anyone not happy with this casting is just a fat shaming bigot. Now I ask, do you the millions of pissed off fans are going to be pissed because they hate fat people, or are they pissed off because the character doesnt resemble the source material that they love?

It makes more sense for Lestat to be black but whatever haha

Waste of the talents of a most excellent actor in Sam Reid.

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6

Abysmall!!! So far reached from the novels.

What crap not like the book at all

I am so excited and the fact that they are also so excited about it makes me even more excited lol. Can't wait to see their amazing work 🤍🤍

🤮

The actress said "when i read the book Claudia was on her puberty, at 14 years old" You don't read it, Claudia was Five years old, You guys are just dissgusting, read a book For once on Your life and respect it.

Good actors just not the right cast for the vampire chronicles

Anybody there read the fucking books. You change the time period. You changed the age of the characters. You change pretty much everything how can you even call it interview with vampire.

Tom Cruise and Brat Pitt 's Interview with a Vampire .. still unequal.. and it didnt have to content with woke issues.. Can very well do without watching this series..

Sam reid is the true lestat
