As a seasoned cinephile and music enthusiast, I must say that the trailer for Daniel Molloy’s docuseries interview with Lestat has piqued my curiosity to no end. Having grown up in the ’80s and ’90s, I remember vividly the impact of Anne Rice’s “Interview With the Vampire” and the captivating character of Lestat de Lioncourt. To see this elusive figure now sit down for an interview with Molloy is a tantalizing prospect.


Daniel Molloy, a journalist who won a Pulitzer Prize and later wrote the best-selling gothic “memoir” Interview With the Vampire, is now working on a new project. His choice of subject has raised questions about how long he’ll continue to uphold the charade. Molloy will be conducting an in-depth interview series for a docuseries with Lestat, the enigmatic glam-rocker whose popularity surged after the publication of IWTV. Lestat adopted his stage name from the book’s renowned character, Lestat de Lioncourt. An essential aspect of “vampire” Lestat’s persona is maintaining the illusion that he truly is the 18th-century vampire in the flesh. This trailer for the rock documentary offers an extensive peek into this intriguing dynamic between Molloy and Lestat.

As I sat down in the dimly lit movie theater, I couldn’t help but feel a thrill of excitement as Lestat, the charismatic vampire, strutted in with an air of confidence. Dressed in a striking green snakeskin and feather jacket, he exuded an attitude that left no doubt about his supernatural nature. Without a second thought, he brushed aside the makeup artist and boldly manipulated the camera with his vampire magic.

1. In the trailer, we get a sneak peek of Lestat’s new single titled “Long Face,” now available along with its lyric video on YouTube. However, is it catchy or not? I took the opinion of some die-hard fans who work for Vulture magazine to find out.

1. “The words in the song require another go at rewriting, and its guitar melody feels like something you’d effortlessly play on ‘Easy Mode’ of Rock Band. Yet, I’ve been playing it nonstop for an hour. Therefore, I want to pre-order the entire album. It’s a catchy tune.”

Sam Reid’s consistent line deliveries are akin to observing a captivating Baroque painting of an alluring, intense man (imagine Caravaggio’s “David With the Head of Goliath,” but with sex appeal), so it comes as no surprise that his singing voice possesses the same enchanting quality. I’m deeply fond of how his “ooh ooh ooh, wah aah” melodies evoke Jim Morrison’s Dracula-inspired renditions. It’s an irresistible hit. I can’t help but feel sorry for Stuart Townsend, who was replaced as Aragorn in the Lord of the Rings trilogy and now finds himself overshadowed by Reid’s mesmerizing rock star performance in Queen of the Damned.

As a music enthusiast with a soft spot for fictional rock songs, I can’t help but be reminded of one that holds a special place in my heart: “Black Sheep” by the Clash at Demonhead from the graphic novel series, Scott Pilgrim. This track takes me back to my teenage years when every note seemed to resonate deeply within me. The bassline has this chugging rhythm that feels raw and real, while the slinky attitude in the vocals adds a layer of coolness that I found irresistible.

I’ve had the distinct pleasure of witnessing Sam Reid’s remarkable acting abilities, but there’s something truly extraordinary about his latest role as Lestat. It’s not just that he’s bringing the iconic vampire character to life on screen, but rather that his own vitality and energy are being lent to the performance by none other than the enigmatic Lestat himself. This unique collaboration between actor and character adds an intriguing layer of complexity to both their personas, making for a truly captivating experience. Kudos to Sam Reid for giving credit where it’s due and embracing this extraordinary opportunity.
