ABOUT INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE
A luxury apartment covering an entire single floor of a high rise. Where the Vampire has granted the interview with the man he once judged to be unworthy. And where the journalist Daniel Molloy has hustled, for a second shot at the interview that got away from him 40 years earlier…

Based on Anne Rice’s iconic novel, Interview with The Vampire follows Louis’ epic story of love, blood and the perils of immortality, as told to the journalist Daniel Molloy. Chafing at the limitations of life as a black man in 1900’s New Orleans, Louis finds it impossible to resist Lestat’s offer of the ultimate escape: joining him as his vampire companion.

But Louis’s intoxicating new powers come with a violent price, and the introduction of Lestat’s newest fledgling, the child vampire Claudia, soon sets them on a decades-long path of revenge and atonement. A sensuous, contemporary reinvention of Anne Rice’s revolutionary gothic novel.

He is telling the truth but you can tell that the story is already affecting Louis. Claudia's face at the end was basically saying Louis Stand Up 😭

What Lestat is describing is exactly what happens to him in "The Vampire Lestat". Magnus even refers to Lestat as "Wolf Killer" as Lestat was hunting the wolves that were plaguing his village at the time as he was an expert marksmen & a proficient hunter. Lestat kills all the wolves, nearly at the cost of his own life, losing his beloved horse & hunting dogs in the process. Hopefully, this will be covered when they adapt the second book in TV form.

Notice how well the framing works on this scene it isn't until Lestat says he was alone that is alone in the frame. Claudia and Louis are slowly disappearing as he talks about his traumatized past!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

This is the one of the few shows out right now where the whole cast is just stellar. They all make the show.

I love the contrast in expressions between Louis and Claudia at 1:40. You really get to see the differences in their personalities and how they view Lestat. Louis' face show so much empathy, pain, and understanding. While Claudia is just like "bullshit sob story... get over yourself" LOL

[JJJ-rsdv]

love the directing! without any camera move, just zooming in, giving audience time to immerse into Sam's acting and Lestat's story <3

[mayaamis]

Sam is born to play Lestat. I can't wait for them to move on from "Interview with the vampire" and start adapting "Vampire Lestat" and later books ❤ He will be amazing!
But I don't want to forget to mention Jacob and Bailey they are all spectacular in their roles, Eric and Assad as well! Amazing cast!! The cinematography, the writing, the acting, the visuals.. it all just clicks perfectly in this show!

[DejaVu-]

This episode was amazing! Claudia finally getting the upper hand and his temper tantrum after 😂😂

[sapphireprincess]

Honestly, my one complaint with the show was the minimization of Lestat’s trauma here. He just says “instead he turned me into this” which, in my opinion, glosses over how violent the actual transformation was. It definitely glosses over what a sexual predator Magnus was. He stalked Lestat at theater he performed at, called him beautiful, never used his name. It also isn’t mentioned that Magnus became a vampire by capturing a sleeping vampire and taking his blood by force, or that he threatened to throw Lestat into the fire, or how Lestat begged on his knees for Magnus to stay with him, even just one night. Finally, in the show Lestat was turned into a vampire when he was 34 while in the book, he was only 22.

Sam Reid is spectacular. His portrayal of Lestat is so captivating. The entire cast is excellent but the makers really lucked out by getting Sam Reid and Jacob as Lestat and Louis. They gave everything to their chatacters and their pairing. They depicted all the emotions to the tee. Be it sadness, anguish, grief, empathy, jealousy, anger and mostly love. I am sure we don't have much of lestat in season 2 I guess but I am dying to see them together again at each other's throat both lovingly and non-lovingly😅 I am on Lestat and louis ship for life ❤

[Quinkerbell_]

My man is covered in bruises, talking about the worst day of his life, desperately wanting to be with Louis again his voice trembling with remembering pain, regret and anxiety and Sam absolutely crushes this scene. He is amazing!

[ozbrizzie]

In an interview with Sam Reid he states that he did numerous versions of any given scene and he left it up to the editing to decide. I can see his doing this scene in an angry and / or bitter version. Guess they decided to go with soft vulnerable version.

[QuEsT_X]

Lestat story is rich in trauma and keep in mind he’s only telling less than 1% of his origins here. Anne did such a fantastic job crafting a character we all can cry with, be angry at, root for, then want to hug all at the same time!

He’s telling the truth but still holding back so much more pain it’s truly tragic

[chrissyknowsitall]

This show takes my breath away with every episode!!!! 🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇

[Nofilter]

Don't forget Magnus's maniacal laughter throughout the entire process. Magnus wanted to produce the ultimate slap in the face to all the ancient vampires, a wrecking ball, a rebellious teenager and Magnus was old and had never made another vampire before Lestat, he made him extremely powerful because of it.

[bjornjohansen]

This actor's voice is incredible.

[calicochuu]

It is so desperate when Lestat was turned into a vampire. How much was he desperated when he wanted to listen Nicki plays violin, how much he wanted to perform... everything shattered. Hope I could see Nicki in the upcoming season. Lestat tossing pebbles to knock Nicki's door, how Nicki scolded Lestat helplessly when he read lines of the play that Lestat would perform, how he played violin for Lestat to listen. Hope to see that pure, artistic and energetic young man and Lestat's past.

[jessesanders]

Ugh, Sam Reid is just fecking gorgeous. Stahhhhpitttt.

[danielleshay]

OMG!!! I cannot wait to see this on Sunday. Only 2 episodes left and I'm going in the hospital next week, so will bring my computer and watch there. Couldn't miss this, and won't miss it, along with The Walking Dead. The 2 best series ever made. Thank you AMC,

[bradbertrand]

I can’t wait to see episode 6 Sunday. I’m really loving this show
