Eric: "...We thought you were a normal person...". Jacob: *adorable nerdyness* Me: "ONE OF US! ONE OF US!" 😂

[@FransHattingh]

Jacob really seems to know and love the source material, and it's so endearing. The fact that he mentioned Gabrielle (Lestat's mother, and a real fan favourite) sells it for me. Also, I saw a video taken at a press conference for the show a few hours ago, and Jacob is wearing violet sunglasses (Lestat wears violet-tinted sunglasses in the novels). It really is in the details. 💜

And Sam also said he is a long time fan of the books

Got the link for the press conference?

[@SiSi-xg1hk]

As if I couldn't love Jacob enough as an uber Anne Rice fan getting to play out the full fantasy of Lestat, those violet glasses do it.

[@imwalkingonsunshine6850]

The show is beautiful. The adaptation stays true to the themes of the source material. Lestat and Louis's nuanced-historical-romance is hypnotic, passionate and fascinating. Sam Reid and Jacob Anderson did a superb job bringing the characters to life.

[@YoRouable]

I am *ALSO* dying to see Jacob Anderson's Louis in a room with Gabrielle and Marius. Luckily, THERE'S A BOOK FOR THAT.

Jacob Anderson is a fellow nerd!!! I love it!! Wave that nerd flag proudly!! When he mouthed "how dare you" at Eric's comment about the 'level of lunacy,' I cheered, cuz that was my first thought too. 😄

[@TheBeelzeboss]

"This is my last chance at immortality" HAHAHAHAHA Eric Bogosian got a new fan.

I had just finished the first season, and WOW. That was a hell of a season. Everyone did an amazing job! I hope that the second season is great.

[@koorixie1512]

Jacob is so goddamn cute and so is the rest of the cast.

[@gilsurf8]

What an amazing show and adaptation. All the actors are so brilliant, and writing is so smart.

[@galaxylucia1898]

I can’t believe how much I love this show! So glad I gave the pilot a second chance because with these two it just works! While we wait for season 2, I’m diving back into the books to look for Easter eggs fin season 1!!❤

[@jjayguy23]

It's perfect.

[@cullenarthur8879]

The show really blew me away. I have been reading almost exclusively Stephen King books for the last five years, but after watching the series, i have decided to read all of Anne Rices's vampire books. I am half way through Interview with the Vampire.

[@mdmamba2603]

3:23 i accidentally looked at Sam at this moment and he was looking right in the camera

[@juanita-dark]

lol, Now we know why Eric's son never explained what the con was. He wanted to enjoy it without judgement.

[@earlinesims8222]

What is it? I don't know what it is either. It seems like Jacob got offended when Eric said the lunacy of it all. Jacob mouth I dare you.

[@fashiondiva1971]

I was not excited about this until the trailer…I loved it the mood was like the books and I can’t wait for October

[@davidb9230]

Will we get action figures or bobble heads. ❤

[@Memnoch_the_Devil]

HA. She actually asked if anyone was a fan or familiar with the series beforehand… lol Dude, Sam Reid is a bigger fan of Anne Rice than I am and that’s really saying something. He is so extremely dedicated to getting every single aspect of his performance as Lestat as accurate as possible. Most people have NO IDEA. That’s why I’ve already decided, no matter how much this show might end up straying from the books, as long as Lestat is Lestat, I’m all in. And Sam Reid IS Lestat.

[@nuwanda6436]

I didn't like the interviewer, luckily the cast knew how to handle the situation but I feel that it was very uncomfortable

[@noelle2624]

It just feels like she doesn’t even listen to their answers she just asks the question to ask then does a quick, detached kind of disinterested acknowledgment then moves on very quickly like babe give them some enthusiastic acknowledgment

[@jessicas.6235]

Evan Rachel Wood would be my Gabrielle ❤❤❤

[@saroxkingdom]

It's weird to think of this as a continuation, because I watched the movie and the characters were completely different. Even Claudia in this series is older, and we all know she's dead at this point.

[@0912sooli]

Its not a continuation, it is retelling

[@saroxkingdom]

@@0912sooli actually they said it was

[@lorehammer40k4]

It would be weird to think of it as a continuation because it absolutely isn't and they didn't say that it was. They were always clear that they were retelling the story, and a major hint to that should have been the fact that both Louis and Claudia are now black and were turned in the early 1900s.

[@jayaguilar2031]

Sam nailed Lestat. Literally what i imagined from reading the books. And i get we live in a woke world now so i understand louis casting choice but to change the time line? To change the back story? That, to me, is unforgivable.

[@SiSi-xg1hk]

So far, I'm not minding the changes made to Louie. I'm glad that Lestat is now fully imagined & I'm looking forward to seeing who else gets that treatment. I hope that they get to other Lestat focused books like "Tale of the Body Thief"

[@donnamariejohnson1133]

So to change him from a plantation onwer something of history and pain in a love of story of white vampires?? Right get over it or go the read the book how u like dumpy..

[@alsimanche]

From what i heard on their interview, it actually has nothing to do with being woke, you can listen to the iwtv podcast post finale on spotify to know why exactly they make that change

[@jayaguilar2031]

@@alsimanche Why would i bother with that. Of course its a part of this woke bullshit. The books were perfect the way they were.

[@cullenarthur8879]

@@jayaguilar2031 so you don't want to actually listen to why they made those changes? You would rather just stick with your uninformed assumption that it's because of "woke bullshit"?

Daniel is not "older and seasoned". Ugh! 🤬

[@juanita-dark]

This isn't the book. It will go easier for you if you accept it as an adaptation of the book that deviates from the source material in some ways.
