Interview With the Vampire/Vampire Chronicles (AMC)

[GibbonBlack]

Well. That looks pretty bad. Hopefully it's just a bad trailer but I have no faith.

DON'T SAY IT. The first rule of IWTV trailer is you don't TALK about IWTV trailer.

Honestly though, yeah. Fuck.

Anne and Christopher were WRITING THE SCRIPTS for the Hulu series.
I kind of assume that they didn't get to do that, here?

I noticed one thing right off the bat: THIS shit isn't set in the 18th century. It looks a whole hell of a lot.more like the 20th.

I'm an Anne Rice, have-read-every-fucking-book INCLUDING her pro Catholic manifesto, die hard.
Idk. I'll even take mid grade.

I wonder if Anne couldn't get creative control and sold the rights, though, for her.descendents.

ALSO, one bad season MIGHT not be the end of the whole shit. There's SOOO much fine content, from QOTD, to Blood and Gold, to.Vitorrio, to Merrick.
Mayfair Witches is already in production. A LOT of shows open with a not-so-great first season.
But good god. Anne's been trying to get The Witching Hour going for.actual DECADES. Her vision was more like Masterpiece Theater.

Anyway, I'm rambling.
But MY fear is that this shit flops, because AMC is spending every second dime on TWD TVU, and they think they can sell cheaply made "vampire shit" without having to like...how you say...WORK very hard on it?
And they sell the fucking rights to someone else, and we Anne Rice Devotees pray we make it to 2040 for the next attempt.

Bottom line? It will be great, goddamnit. Fucking stunning. :/
