Interview with the Vampire was quite good, and it had an star-studded cast. I guess there's always room for improvement. Hopefully the remake/adaptation won't be a complete retread.
Actually, at this point I'll watch anything featuring Robert Downy Jr.

Yeah, that quote does say a thing about an Interview remake. There are tons of other books. The Vampire Lestat to mention just one.

Sounds like a load of crap to me - both that it would be remade so soon and the RDJ would be cast for the role. Then again with Twilight doing well who knows.
EDIT: Seems my logic was right - the Twilight success seems to be the motivator

I dont see how they can adapt the other books because of how much Queen of the Damned screwed things up. Either way, I dont think RDJ is good for the role.

..No. I'd really rather see one of the pay channels pick up the rights to all the books, run them at about 15 eps per season with a book a season. Cast unknowns and let Anne Rice be involved if she has any interest.
Trouble with that is, they would probably pick people barely out of their teens to play the roles.

I just hope they do this right... I've long desired to see a film adaptation that was very good of my favorite book from the series... The Vampire Lestat. If they did that, they could do a more accurate Queen of the Damned and I would be happy as Hell.

Need more good vampire flicks. It's a sad state when the one freshest in people's minds is Twilight.

Doesn't sound like they are doing a remake, but more like into the book THE VAMPIRE LESTAT. The vampire chronicles includes some books of each individual vampire and how they came about.

But what's funny is that if they were in their early 20's.. it would be fairly accurate. Louis, Lestat, and Armand were turned young.

Lestat is the best book and has yet to be made. And these vampires should be played by people just out of their teens, that's the character - unless they do CG youthening for the entire film. RDJ is WAY too old to play Lestat.

I agree with Dave but moreso with Nasedo. It's been years since I read the chronicles, but Vampire Lestat and Memnoch the Devil were the highlights of that series for me.

If it's being done at WB, I THINK they only had rights to the first 3 books. The rights on all three were about to expire when they rushed the horrible QOTD movie to be made which combines Vampire Lestat and QOTD. So I dunno where this is going to go.
