The AMC "Interview with the Vampire" "Double Male Lead" candidate is officially announced: the black actor Jacob Anderson, who played "Grey Worm" in "Game of Thrones", will play Louis, which is Brad in the movie version. In the role of Pete, Australian actor Sam Reid ("Lost 1971") will play Leicester, the role of Tom Cruise in the film version.

First and foremost is the most well-known "Interview with the Vampire". AMC plans to develop an 8-episode short drama, with Mark Johnson, producer of "Breaking Bad" and "The Coquettish Lawyer", as the producer, and the overall project development. Rollin Jones ("Atlantic Empire") will write the script, Alan Taylor ("Game of Thrones") will direct the first two episodes, and Anne Rice and son Christopher Rice will also serve as producers. The series is planned to be launched simultaneously on TV and streaming media platforms next year.
The film "Interview with the Vampire" directed by Neil Jordan, starring Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, and Kirsten Dunst, was released in the United States on November 11, 1994. The film is adapted from the novel of the same name. It tells the story of the manor Louis, who was desperate for life after losing his wife and daughter, and met the vampire Lestat, who was bent on teaching Louis to be a vampire.
