Is interview with a vampire gay

I love that they can be so much more than what they usually are. For those not in the know, Interview with the Vampire, based on Anne Rice’s novel of the same name, tells the story of a man called Louis (Brad Pitt) who is turned into a vampire by Lestat (Tom Cruise).

Was Interview something you had wanted to explore from her perspective? Unwrapping the homoeroticism of ‘Interview with the Vampire’ 25 years after Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt first had a suck, Juno Dawson examines the queer themes of big screen adaptation of Anne Rice's novel.

AR: They [Yen Press] suggested doing the adaptation. We sat down with the lengendary Anne Rice to talk about the new graphic adaptation Interview With The Vampire: Claudia’s Story, Lestat and Louis as same-sex parents, advice for aspiring writers.

Just a beautiful job. AR: No, not really. Rice answered questions in a candid conversation with io9. Did you encourage him in pursuing the family business, or did you warn him off from the lifestyle? I remember watching Interview With The Vampire as a kid who knew nothing about gay relationships, and thinking something sexy was definitely happening between Lestat/Louis/Armand.

There was a lot of dismissal, whereas these days, there seems to be this unabashed market. You know, kind of puzzled. It will be just sort of an unending story. She is wholly enthusiastic about the results. I wish all of my works were in this form.

AR: Oh no, no, I would never warn him off. Did you write notes for her, were you working with her —. The iconic American author of gothic fiction, including "Interview With the Vampire," was a vocal support of gay rights.

AR: I love the graphic novel. I think the vampire is such a wonderful concept, such a rich concept. But I trusted Yen to do the right adaptation with this. Those are all adaptations, and I felt that it was completely legitimate for them to do that. I was curious if you felt like a proud parent in terms of that, or of you were ready for something different supernaturally to —.

Most effectively drawn is young Claudia, flashing from innocent to monstrous by the panel. At 71, she has sold more than a million copies of her novels, which include The Vampire Chronicles and The Mayfair Witches series, and she is a spirited and gracious subject.

An evocative choice was made to print the book entirely in sepia, with the only color coming from scarlet blood of which there is a lot. It was just a very wild kind of thing. There were earlier adaptations of Interview With The Vampire and The Vampire Lestat — they were by companies that went out of business.

But once they started changing and shooting it, I was out of the process.
