We're a bit late with this (it's been a wild few days!), but AMC finally debuted a full trailer for its upcoming adaptation of Anne Rice's Interview With The Vampire during San Diego Comic-Con, which you can check out below.
The footage recounts Louis de Pointe du Lac's (Game of Thrones' Jacob Anderson) first encounter with his mentor/tormentor Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid) and his temptation to receive the vampire's "dark gift."
This take on the story will make a few changes to Rice's book, but executive producer Mark Johnson (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul) believes the show will be more faithful to the source material than Neil Jordan's 1994 movie.
He tells EW. "We tried to stay as true to the spirit of the book as possible, but it's very much a modern interpretation. In many ways, our show is truer to the book than the movie was, which is ironic because Anne Rice herself wrote the screenplay to the movie."
The eight-episode first season will premiere on October 6. Rolin Jones is on board as writer, executive producer, and showrunner, while Mark Johnson will executive produce along with Christopher Rice. Alan Taylor will direct the first two episodes.
Neil Jordan helmed the 1994 feature adaptation of Interview With The Vampire, which starred Brad Pitt as Louis, Tom Cruise as Lestat, and Christian Slater as Malloy.
