Of all the vampire-related stories that have been told over the years, Interview with the Vampire might be one of the most iconic, and while Neil Jordan's 1994 film adaptation introduced a whole generation to Anne Rice's signature brand of sexy blood-suckers, there haven't been many on-screen follow-ups featuring Lestat and Louis.

But now, AMC has the rights to Rice's novels and the extended universe, and the process of adapting them is in motion. Key to the project is veteran TV and film director Alan Taylor (Game of Thrones, Thor: The Dark World), who is directing the pilot as well as additional episodes — something he talked about with Collider's Steve Weintraub while discussing his newest film, the Sopranos prequel film The Many Saints of Newark.

Taylor explained that the show will begin shooting this December in New Orleans (which is very appropriate to the story's origins, as the first book was largely set in the city), and he'll be shooting the first two episodes himself as well as serving as an executive producer on the first season. As you can see in the video interview above, Taylor told that he's excited to take on the AMC adaptation because:

I have a personal relationship with the book... I read Interview With the Vampire, and I just loved it. It gave me this feeling, which I think is the main thing I took away from the book, which is, every other story you've heard about vampires is kind of bullshit, and here's the truth. This is the reality. This is what it would really be like.


The adaptation is currently being overseen by Perry Mason Season 1 showrunner Rolin Jones, with Sam Reid set to play Lestat and Jacob Anderson (Grey Worm on Game of Thrones) on board to play Louis.
