According to Deadline<\/em><\/a>, Anne Rice’s entire Vampire Chronicles<\/strong><\/em> series has been acquired by Universal Pictures and Ron Howard’s Imagine Entertainment.<\/p>\n

The deal includes her as yet unreleased 11th book in the series, Prince Lestat<\/strong><\/em>, the unproduced screenplay (by son Christopher Rice) for <\/strong>The Tale Of Body Thief<\/strong><\/em> and all future texts that Rice may write in the saga.<\/p>\n

The first and third books in the series were previously adapted by Warner Bros as 1994’s Interview With The Vampire<\/em><\/strong> and 2002’s Queen Of The Damned<\/strong><\/em> (which also cherrypicked plot points from second novel, T<\/strong>he Vampire Lestat).<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, who are also developing The Mummy<\/strong><\/em><\/a> and Van Helsing<\/strong><\/em> for Universal, will produce the entire series, suggesting that they might be taking place under a wider Universal Monsters banner…<\/p>\n

Prince Lestat<\/em> is due 30 October 2014, you can pre-order it for £12.91 from Amazon.co.uk<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
