The Interview With The Vampire Reboot Confirmed

We reported back in May that a reboot of Interview with the Vampire was in the works under the direction of Josh Boone (The Fault in Our Stars) who will be working with writer-producer Jill Lillington. Boone posted a photo on his Instagram account revealing that two of Anne Rice’s novels, Interview with the Vampire and The Vampire Lestat, would be combined for the film. “We’re really focusing on The Vampire Lestat, but we are using elements from some of the other books as well.” Boone said recently in an interview with Nightmare Magazine.

Eli Roth will be departing from his usual gory genre films to “studio fare”. Roth is set to remake 1974’s Death Wish. Bruce Willis will be starring in the role originally played by Charles Bronson. In Death Wish (the original), a New York City architect becomes a one-man vigilante squad after his wife is murdered by street punks. The man goes out and randomly kills would-be muggers on the street after dark. The remake is based on the new script penned by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski. Aharon Keshales and Navot Papushado were originally signed to direct the remake, but stepped away due to differences last month. Roth is known in the horror genre for his love of gore.
