assad anxious that he had to match his co-stars levels is crazy to me now! he really outdid many more famous actors and i truly truly hope he gets bigger roles as time goes on. i can't get enough of his acting

It may be part of his training. I was taught to always say ME and I about the characters you portray

You never know if Eric is talking about himself or Daniel I love it

assad is so beautiful and well spoken

Eric Bogosian was really the perfect casting choice for Daniel because his persona is so cynical and direct and provocative. (You know right off the bat that nothing is getting past him.) But there are no one-dimensional characters in this series, and I've actually been more struck by those moments when his character cracks, and he is genuinely moved by Louis's emotions. Or when Armand is manipulating his thoughts and he gets lost. Those moments of vulnerability make his character that much more layered and interesting. It's really nice to hear Eric say that he's enjoying having the chance to play a more complicated character because it's the complexity and the nuances that make this series.

THANK YOU for re-uploading and correcting Delainey's name!

11:29 the way Jacob and Sam are like proud parents at Delainey's answers 🥰

So cute they always kind of refer to each other as a company like the theatre mentality it really shows how close they all are

Assad made me love iwtv even more🥺❤️

I love that question to Eric about Anne & I appreciate how much respect he has for her as a writer. I know her family hasn't exactly supported this show, but I hope that one day they understand that the people behind it have a lot of love for the material & the author (Sam being a huge fan of the books long before knowing that one day he would play The Lestat).

Wasn't she working with production before she passed? Why aren't they supporting it?

2 ай бұрын

​​​​@@wildflouwirNo, neither she nor Christopher (her son) worked on this show. They would never support anything that wasn't a faithful adaptation of the source material. Anne was very pernickety when it came to her work, and she wanted a show that followed the books down to the last detail. Long story short, she wanted to start with The Vampire Lestat because that is really the beginning of The Vampire Chronicles, as he is the protagonist of the series. I think the show is trying to make both Louis and Lestat co-leads, and that is something Anne wouldn't have agreed to. Lestat is the lead, and Louis is somewhat of a background character-important, but background nonetheless. Her son Christopher had penned a pilot script, but AMC rejected it once they'd gained the rights to the property. Hence why they withdrew all support after that. This show is vastly different from Anne's original vision. They are executive producers in name only but have nothing to do with the show itself. The showrunner actually said that Anne would be unhappy with a lot of the choices he has made.

Ahh ok thank you! That sucks- at the very least I wish they could've agreed to a spinoff, duel plot or something to appease both parties.

@@wildflouwir They could've just made a show inspired by The Vampire Chronicles and saved themselves a ton of money in the process. That way Anne's son could've kept shopping around and eventually come together with someone who wanted to make a show that was true to the books. That's not to say this show is bad, it's just like an alternate universe version of the chronicles.

Starting with wolfkiller would've never worked. It gives away the whole story, and then justifying having the interview happen would be very difficult. I get why they wanted to do that after Lestat became protag, but it's actually more faithful to start with Louis. And I think it makes more sense to keep him around. Anne ended up backtracking and retconning a lot (that does not mean the books are bad!) Regardless, sometimes you have to look past an author and do your own thing. I don't care if she'd approve, cause the show is excellent.

this show has re-written cinema and acting amazing

This is a great interview. Yet Sam definitely look at Jacob as if that getting divorced before he laugh when Jacob said bad about theater people

How can Sam not know how popular this show is and the reaction it’s receiving from viewers

When the books came out I was obsessed. When the cruise/pitt movie came out obsessed. But this series with these characters bring the whole Rice world such richness an fullness....obsessed again.

The Interview Banters became quickly my favourite part about this show, so excited to see more :D

My favorite series #period

4:26 terrifying, got it Assad, we can sense the terror still in your body language

Congratulations on the 99% fresh rating, it's 100% deserved!

I need more interviews with them

Love this cast beyond words 🩶

BUT Armand and Daniel future srotyline. YES.

AHHHH episode 1 was so good!

Love this interview!

I haven’t seen any of them mention Bailey at all, which feels like they’ve been told not to 😢 Delainey is doing great in the role but Bailey really laid some amazing foundations in s1

@juanita-dark

Ай бұрын

It's because Bailey's not in S2 and they're promoting S2 with Delainey. They had S1 to promote Bailey. When you've got a new actor, repeatedly referencing the old actor makes it more difficult for the audience to accept the new one. There's just no need.

It doesn't mean that they don't appreciate Bailey. It's just she is not in new season I believe

Did something happen off screen ? Sam's energy seems off, compared to season 1.

@hildrethrisse9581

Ай бұрын

In Season 1, Sam was in most every scene. In Season 2 (so far) he's in comparatively few. He and Jacob were spending tons of time together on and off screen, and that's obviously been greatly reduced. I think the chemistry is just more low-key.

@lenakataeva7525

I guess it's because not much happening with his character this season

I forgot greyworm was in it but it was obvious when he started speaking during the interview 😂 NGL kinda ruined the show for me but only a few more episodes till the series finale.

Maybe just me. But Armad is so lackluster. All of the other characters have such a strong stage presence. From Daniel all the way to Claudia. Even some of the side characters (like the dress shop owner) and the other vampires in the coven give a much more powerful presence. Maybe that's the point, not sure. Maybe Armad will surprise me by the end of the season. Never thought I'd say this but I actually miss Lestat. It's a little boring without him. I may be a little biased bc I also didn't like Armad in the movie but I thought Banderas did a great job.
