The first of the new round of Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles<\/em><\/strong> movie reboots<\/a> may have found its director.<\/p>\n

The Wrap<\/em><\/a> reports that The Fault In Our Stars<\/strong><\/em>‘ Josh Boone is in talks with Universal to helm The Vampire Lestat<\/strong><\/em>, which takes its name from Rice’s second book in the series – first published in 1985.<\/p>\n

Boone himself denies the report, but The Wrap are standing by their news, adding that that “rather than a remake of Interview With the Vampire<\/strong><\/em>, the new film is expected to draw from the second and third books in Rice’s series — The Vampire Lestat<\/strong><\/em> and The Queen Of The Damned<\/strong><\/em> — and will likely be faithful to the source material.”<\/p>\n

While 1994’s Interview With The Vampire<\/strong><\/em> is still regarded as a gothic horror classic – and it’s a relief that Universal are leaving it be – 2002’s Queen Of The Damned<\/strong><\/em> is best forgotten.<\/p>\n

Perhaps this is a chance to do right by Rice’s epic saga…<\/p>\n

Anne Rice’s Prince Lestat<\/em> is due 30 October 2014, you can pre-order it for £12.91 from Amazon.co.uk<\/a>. If you love vampires, get SciFiNow’s digital-exclusive Horror Handbook: Hammer Horror for £1.99 on iPad or iPhone<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
