    The material should be solid since it's Anne Rice, and AMC has a good track record, but this might be a step too high for them on the special effects scale. But I will check it out.

    Daddario has a good track record in television, and a sketchy film history. So it will be interesting to see if she can pull off something that likely falls in that middle ground.

    There was a contest over the summer going into 6th grade to see who could read the most books. I read everything Anne Rice had written at the time.

    I don't remember it that well... but I know there are some raunchy tales to be told. I'm in.

    YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    One of the best series of books I have ever read, I just posted something about this being a great series for an adaption.

    They are going to have to age up a major character.

    Would have loved for it to be on a channel like HBO, there is a lot of sexy going on, but AMC does these shows well, I need to read up on who is doing it.

    The Witching Hour is just a fantastic book. I hope this is a close adaptation of that.

    I really liked the books when I read them way back in the day. I don't think I read the whole series, though, I was current and didn't read them as they came out. It got a little too girly/soap-opera for me IIRC.

    But lets be honest, at some level, we're all in it for the boobs with this show.

    I don't remember there being a lot of things that need great special effects, but I have not read the books in over 20 years.

    Some good actors in this series, especially Jack Huston, Lasher is an important character.

    I wonder how much they tone down the incest and sex for AMC.

    Been waiting for this for a long time, I am not liking what I am seeing from Interview with a Vampire, but I will give it a try.

    Once Le Stat got involved, they were good I have read all the series except the S&M stuff, mainly because I loved the historical aspects of it.

    All of this stuff is high drama and soapish, and they will have to balance a lot of the over the top emo stuff.

    I just saw she wrote another book in 2014 I am going to have to check it out.

    6th grade?

    That's way early for Anne Rice, you could definitely go down a wrong path after reading that so young.

    Looked it up and I read the original trilogy, nothing after.

    Looks like AMC owns the rights to Rice’s vampire series too, so this could be a big series/group of shows.

    Yeah, I was thinking they could have an entire night between The Witches, The Vampires and even a mummy series, and they all intersect.

    Oh, ****, I forgot they are doing Interview as well.

    Just hope it's not CW level of tween bait.

    Alexandra is 36 so I don't think they're going the CW route. Walking Dead was their home run so I imagine they're going to emulate the adult tone for these series.

    Yeah, I have more faith than that, but there is a lot of Melodrama in those books and a lot of emo stuff, so it would be easy to not get the tone right.

    So how do you think they are going to handle Mona Mayfair?

    agreed. Wonderful series so full of depth and characters. The Interview with a Vampire series on AMC seems to be getting good reviews. Would expect nothing less for this vehicle.
