One show that frankly has not earned nearly enough attention, even as it enters into its third season, is AMC's brilliantly blood-drenched adaptation of Interview with the Vampire. Venturing off the beaten path of Anne Rice's original book and updating it for a modern audience, the show followed the tumultuous relationship between Louis (Game of Thrones' Jacob Anderson) and Lestat (Sam Reid). Now, a brand new extended look for The Vampire Lestat, the third televised chapter that sees the return of the legendary vampire, has arrived online, as he finds fame and a new way to subdue his insatiable appetite for blood, as well as other carnal activities.
It's well-documented that Anne Rice initially had concerns about Tom Cruise taking on the role of Lestat for Neil Jordan's 1994 film, only to retract them when she saw him in action. Now, while there's no doubt that Cruise delivers with his iteration of the character, for those who haven't seen a single episode, there's an argument to be made that Reid does an even greater job as Lestat de Lioncourt in AMC's series. Don't believe us? Check out the trailer below, where he looks to be having a bloody ball.
