Anne Rice fans recently swooned over the news that the author has finally taken back the theatrical rights to "The Vampire Chronicles" and confirmed what everyone has been hoping for: Lestat is coming to the TV world. But who will play the seductive Brat Prince in Rice's planned TV series? And will the show touch upon the new novel "Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis"?
Will Anne Rice's Lestat TV Series Begin With 'Interview With A Vampire', Visit 'The Realms Of Atlantis'?
The world may have been introduced to Lestat in "Interview With A Vampire" but the Brat Prince has gone on to star in so many other Anne Rice novels. The author has already teased that her planned TV series will begin with "The Vampire Lestat" and will continue on to the other books (via Facebook). But is there any chance that the show will feature an arc from "Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis"?
Fans are already looking forward to the launch of "Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis" and there is much hope that the TV series will feature scenes from the new novel. However, it looks like Anne Rice's planned show will begin with a proper introduction of the Brat Prince.
Who Will Play Lestat In Anne Rice's 'Vampire Chronicles' TV Series?
Lestat has already been played by Tom Cruise and Stuart Townsend, but it might take a very special actor to portray the Brat Prince in Anne Rice's upcoming TV series. People have already started fancasting, with names like Robert Pattinson, Reeve Carney and Nicholas Hoult being mentioned. The show will definitely need someone who can play Lestat from his youth all the way to his adventures in "The Realms of Atlantis".
Anne Rice has not yet announced the casting for her "Vampire Chronicles" TV series, but there is little doubt that the author will take time in choosing the perfect Lestat. In the meantime, "Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis" is set for release today, November 29.
