Here is an old Interview of Anne Rice about her opinions about Twilight and True Blood
Interview with a Vampire is such a grand film because it has Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, and Antonio Banderas on the same film. It also launched the career of Kirsten Dunst because of her role as Claudia. Queen of the Damned is also iconic on its own because it is the Final movie of Aaliyah before she passed away.
Aside from her Vampire Chronicles books, she is also known for writing Exit to Eden,Rag and Bone and Mayfair Witches . One of her Visions is to have the whole Vampire Chronicles series be adapted into television. Her son and she were collaborating to make it happen. There had been reports that AMC will adapt the whole book series in 2022. There had been rumors that the series will start with an 8 episode television adaptation of Interview with a Vampire. Anne Rice is not with us anymore but she left a mark in the world of literature and movies.
