Sam Reid Plays Bloodsucking Rock Star in ‘The Vampire Lestat’ Trailer From AMC
Sam Reid plays the camp vampire rock star Lestat de Lioncourt looking to set the record straight after being alive and undead for 265 years in the official trailer for AMC’s The Vampire Lestat drama that dropped on Wednesday.
The Interview With The Vampire series, based on the late Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles books, has been retitled for the third season, as Reid’s character looks to reclaim his centuries-old story as an immortal, yet turbulent rock star.
“It’s my era. I’m a rock star now,” a strutting de Lioncourt says at one point in the stylized and fast-paced teaser trailer, with one camera angle revealing the celebrity touring performer’s boots have the word “Hate” on one sole and “Me” on the other.

But, as he attempts to set the record straight with a “rewrite” of the Vampire Chronicles, de Lioncourt’s life begins to spin out of control as he is haunted by the muses from his rebellious past.
“I’m immortal… I’ve been a monster. This is my reckoning,” Reid’s character cries out as AMC reveals the latest series from its Immortal Universe that in the teaser has Lestat playing his version of Billy Idol’s catchy “Dancing With Myself” track.
Along with Reid, The Vampire Lestat stars Jacob Anderson, Assad Zaman, Bogosian, Delainey Hayles and Jennifer Ehle and is executive produced by Mark Johnson, creator, writer and showrunner Rolin Jones, Hannah Moscovitch, Christopher Rice and Anne Rice.
