With ‘Interview With the Vampire’ Series on TV, Where Can You Watch Original Film, Other Anne Rice Movies?
October is what many would consider to be Vampire Season, and AMC certainly agrees. The premium cable channel released its new series adaptation of the classic Anne Rice novel “Interview With the Vampire” this weekend, and according to the review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes, audiences and critics alike are enthusiastic about the reinterpretation of the iconic material.
The new show is a sensuous, contemporary reinvention of Anne Rice’s revolutionary gothic novel, “Interview with the Vampire.” It follows Louis de Pointe du Lac (played by Jacob Anderson), Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid), and Claudia (Bailey Bass) in an epic tale of romance, violence, and the pitfalls of immortality, as told to journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian).
But of course, the new series isn’t the first adaptation of “Interview With the Vampire” to hit screens. The 1994 film of the same name starring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt is currently streaming on the free TV service Tubi, or can be rented via Prime Video and other premium video-on-demand (PVOD) platforms such as iTunes, Google Play, YouTube, Vudu and AMC on Demand.
