And it's all the better for it.

Interview with the Vampire has made me reconsider what it means when one says that adaptation was “faithful.” AMC’s version of this story, with its attention to detail in production design, its beautifully written dialogue and smart plot, a cast of actors who are giving everything they have to this story, makes me feel the way I feel when I read Anne Rice’s books. It isn’t just that it recreates everything I’ve seen before in the same order, just like I imagined it. It shows me the sides of Rice’s story that I never imagined, but that were always there. The changes made in this adaptation are the way that Rolin Jones as showrunner show their reverence for the source material. In AMC’s Interview With the Vampire, even longtime fans get to see this story from all new dimensions.
