only to people who never read the books and Anne Rice was a strange chick. Tom Cruise is of Irish descent. he doesnt need to be a frenchy to play that role in an american film. also that movie would have never been made if they added all the homosexual subtext. Tom had enough rumors swirling around about him already. and Vampire Lestat would have literally been all about him. they should have done it. the worst part is they nevr even made a VS. they skipped right to the third novel to adapt as an extra fuck you. Queen Of The Damned was a clusterfuck anyway. as will this be. at least we have a wonderful series of books to not worry about them shitting up .

they even fucked up the queen of the damned soundtrack. Jon Davis of Korn was under contract and couldn't officially sing the songs he wrote, so the movie had to hire various vocalists to cover songs they didn't make.

From Louis' faggy perspective, Lestat was a villain because he had given up his humanity (and according to himself) always reveled in the gifts of the night. Whereas, Louis being a fresh vampire, still had all his feelings intact and was desperate to hold on to that humanity and there was conflict.

Anne realized after this first book just how fucking BORING Louis was to write and shifted her focus to her way more popular and never-really-a-villain-again character, Lestat.

the boring part at the time was cool because up until that point all vampires were crazy motherfuckers when they revealed themselves. Louis was matter of factly telling his life story like any normal person giving an interview would. right up until the end when he vamped out, but was still cool about it. ive read that bok many times, though not as many times as Vampire Lestat. that book is a really quick read and they keep peeling the onion til they get to Marius and the Ancient Ones, Enkil and Akasha.

Also to point but wasn't Louis a Master of a Plantation? How...does that work?

Believe it or not there were black slavers. I remember hearing stories about even family members owning one another, it's pretty crazy. This one lady owned her husband =P

First episode is out early. Second episode is Sunday.

I'll repeat my post from rustled here-- This is going to be another abomination that will piss of the fan-base and up the faggotry to 11...

So let's take another franchise with a loyal, venomous fan-base (who were already comfortable with flexible gender roles) and force-feed them over-the-top pedantic faggotry and completely piss off hundreds of thousands of loyal readers.

Why? Because being ecclectic isn't enough. Being tolerant isn't enough. Being an artist isn't enough. Being iconoclastic isn't enough. You must be force fed interracial faggotry into source material that is already more progressive/controversial than this remake can ever be.

We must just SMASH any kind of art, even if that art probably helps the woke agenda, and make it pedantic, fascissistic faggotry. Like the original Interview With a Vampire wasn't faggy enough? That didn't serve the woke agenda better than this upcoming trash will?

if that article is true, then its going to be a massive bomb. even gay guys wont put up with the timeline changes and blatant faggotry between Louis and Lestat. the homoeroticism is probably part of the charm of those books for them. not only will this kill the Interview With The Vampire franchise. its going to fucking destroy whats left after the vampire movie genre went all sparkles. Dracula will be taking it up the ass from Keanu in the sequel.

I do not think you understand the meaning of the word "homoeroticism". You seem to be confusing it with "sexual tension"

homeroticism

sexual tension+Ossoi

This is like a pedo getting offended by people not properly using the right specific term for an age range sub legal. Related:

There were homoerotic undertones in Interview; the tension was there. You wouldn't describe sexual tension between two men unless it was homoerotic. One requires the other.

Making it include outright gay sex is adding something that wasn't in the books, and changes the tone drastically. Instead of a couple of hot immortals that goth girls cream themselves over while eating haagen dazs that occasionally give each other lingering glances, you have a couple of dudes poking each other in the asshole. Fat goth girls are not into that shit typically. They might be into some weird bisexual stuff but a couple of guys railing each other's shitboxes is not what arouses your average fairykin.

It's changing the target demographic from one that includes a lot of people to one that is going to interest some shitty subset of 3.5% of the populace as an upper limit. It's a retarded idea and I hope they lose a tremendous amount of money on it.

Before it releases, the reasons the media will claim it fails is because of anti-alphabet sentiments and probably racism because one of those dudes looks to be something other than white.

edit - Not sure why they need to make every vampire gay/bi or whatever these days. They did the same shit randomly to Alucard in the Castlevania animated series. It was entirely unnecessary and only upset people; nobody -liked- the change.

yeah, it feels like they set up these shows for failure just so they virtue signal their hearts out and sniff their own self righteous farts over it. its frankly disgusting at how frequently these people take beloved stories/franchises and just chew them up and spit them out for a brief endorphin rush. and you know. nobody but 80s and 90s kids will ever know what the fuck the Interview series was and get how well it was received and why back then. its just going to be that niche audience of 80s/90s book readers who would have watched this and they are going to be appalled at the sight of Lestat assfucking Louis. Lestat was something of a slut with pretty much anyone. men, women, kids and immortals. and i'm just going to be nitpicky here, but Rice vampires dont fuck. they never have fucked and never will fuck. they share "kisses". they cry tears of blood at how much they "love" immortals and mortals and are jealous they dont have the working organs to show it. this is a massive clusterfuck.
