Jon has taken other imagative leaps wh Rice’s novel: the bulk of the story is set not the lonial New Orleans of 1791, but rather 1910. In this roarg cy, Louis is not a whe Creole plantatn owner, as Rice’s tellg, but a Black bsman nng a saloon the red light district, where he wrtl wh his sexualy and fac untls racist btali.

Reid also puts the bratts back to Rice’s inic Brat Prce, tossg off some of the seri’ bt l wh shggg aplomb. “What n I say? I’m a lot,” Ltat quips. Together, the actors’ chemistry is electric, buoyed by their off-screen iendship.

They don’t often get to be the hero. </p><p data-no-id="9" class="css-aeyldl et3p2gv0"><strong>Sam Reid:</strong> What I love about Ltat is that he has all the dark layers, but really, the way that he shows vlence is through love. It’s a very backwards way of g at a monster. Ltat always starts wh a ep attractn or ep love for someone, then be que sadistic the way that he approach those relatnships. The are Anne Rice monsters, so they're om the Mary Shelley tradn where there's so much humany wh them. He’s a monster who lov first—he wants to be accepted and appreciated, and therefore adored and worshiped. He's not tryg to sre anybody. He's tryg to get you to fall love wh him.

to keep gog back to, and Rol is sanely clever terms of gog back and referencg thgs. I have one le that seems like such a throwaway le a scene that you wouldn't even thk about. Luckily I knew the eper meang. There’s heaps of them every scene—l where you thk, "That wouldn't mean anythg," but all means somethg, bee Ltat is talkg about a real life that exists over a seri of books that you n ntue to draw om. It's so much fun. Everythg has a place and a meang.</p><p data-no-id="38" class="css-aeyldl et3p2gv0"><strong>JA:</strong> I had only read the first two books when we started shootg; now I’ve read beyond that. When we talk about the books, we get exced about how thgs slightly change based on our terpretatns of the characters, but also how siar they are ways that I wasn't aware of before, bee I hadn't read past the send book. I didn't know how fahful Rol was beg to thgs that happened beyond <em>The Vampire Ltat</em>. There are thgs the future, specifilly about Louis's fate, that bee pecially excg wh that new ntext.</p><p data-no-id="39" class="css-aeyldl et3p2gv0"><strong>This is the bt way to do a lerary adaptatn.

It also nnects to the thgs that we're ashamed of, bee vampir have to hi. It's a lonely existence, but they so crave ntact and nnectn and timacy. There’s a human impulse there. The thgs we fear about ourselv burst out the bs of impulse or spair or torture—’s irristible, bee speaks to somethg that we don't really talk about. There's somethg about vampir that feels sordid, but they’re tensely human.</p><p data-no-id="44" class="css-aeyldl et3p2gv0"><strong>SR:</strong> Whether 's Dracula or Nosferatu or Louis and Ltat, vampir are always yearng for love. The key them to which they’re always nnected are ath, which everyone has a certa relatnship wh, and sex. The are nstants throughout life and vampir speak to that, but other monsters, they n speak. They're very articulate creatur.</p><p data-no-id="45" class="css-aeyldl et3p2gv0">I thk Anne Rice really ma vampir what they are today. Bram Stoker obvly created this ncept of the yearng, articulate, betiful vampire, but we never saw that story om his perspective. When Anne Rice puts the perspective to the md of the monster, you learn that the creatur are credibly articulate, thoughtful, and qutng—they’re agony, love, trated wh their own monic personali and their own drive to be bad. It's this whole psychologil spectm that we n relate to. As an dience member or as a fan of vampir, you n feel seen through the ey of a monster. You look at yourself and wonr, "Am I dog the right thg? Am I a good person? Am I a bad person?" In terms of monsters, there's nothg really like the vampire. That's why transcends and has lasted so long. People want to see them bee 's a fun feelg, beg able to relate to a mythil creature such a profound way.</p><style data-emotn="css 2ok9l4">{marg-top:1.875rem;borr-top:th solid #595959;}</style><div
