Rowan Fielding is in for a hell of a new year. Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches has released its official Season 2 trailer, ahead of the show’s return to AMC and AMC+ on Jan. 5, 2025. Happy Halloween, indeed.
The show’s brutal first season (which aired way back in early 2023) ended with Rowan giving birth to Lasher, the demon that has plagued her family for generations. In Season 2, Rowan is “determined to understand what he has become — human or monster? — and to use him to fulfill her purpose as a healer, but when tragedy strikes, she must put aside her own...

In 1994, audiences were treated to Interview With The Vampire, an adaptation of Anne Rice's classic horror novel about melancholic vampires spending eternity in the throes of enuii, homoerotic longing, or both. Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, who were movie stars then and now, played the roles of Lestat and Louis, giving meaty performances that endure in the public imagination to this day.
Despite Rice writing many more Vampire Chronicles books after Interview, the movie never did get a sequel, despite what fellow movie star George Clooney would have his colleagues believe. As Clooney explained on an episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! a while back, apparently he's a prolific prankster found of impersonating notable figures and sending forged letters in their voice to actors he knows. “Every actor I know I’ve sent a letter from Bill Clinton,” he said. “I try to find their worst film and I tell them,...

James Wan has more than earned his inclusion in the pantheon of horror maestros. Over a 20-year career that started in 2004 with "Saw," Wan has mostly stayed true to the genre, making films about monsters human, ghostly and adorably parasitic (who doesn't love that ghastly cutie Gabriel from "Malignant"?). His films are fun, funny, and almost always terrifying in surprising ways (i.e. when he's not making superhero or action movies). Wan works an audience like a showman who's carefully studied the tricks of his predecessors, so when he makes a list of his favorite movies, you'd do well to add those titles to your viewing queue -- especially if you're an aspiring director yourself.
As a horror aficionado, Wan is also worth listening to when he breaks down his favorites by subgenre. Even if he's never knocked out a zombie flick or a werewolf movie, learning his preferences can...

Actor Kirsten Dunst couldn’t have predicted playing a cheerleader in Bring It On would’ve become one of her most iconic roles. At the same time, Dunst was worried the movie’s popularity would’ve had a negative side effect on her career.

Dunst was already a well-known actor when she starred in Bring It On. She built herself a nice resume as a child star, having featured in projects like Interview with the Vampire and Jumanji. But when the 2000 sports movie first caught her attention, she was reluctant to take on the project.

George Clooney and his love for pranks have become the stuff of Hollywood legend. But when it involves the bromantic saga of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, it only gets better. Imagine Clooney stirring the pot, making Cruise think that Pitt was itching to reclaim the role of Interview with the Vampire’s charming yet chaotic Lestat.

Rumor has it, Clooney’s prank struck a nerve, exposing a hidden truth about Cruise’s real feelings toward his co-star. Maybe Cruise wasn’t just dodging too much Pitt on-screen all these years. Either way, this prank might’ve peeled back the curtain on one of Hollywood’s most frenemy dynamics.

The Brad Pitt vs. Tom Cruise feud has been nothing short of a dramatic movie itself. The alleged animosity began when the two forces of nature collided for Interview with the Vampire (1994) and then never returned to share the screen ever again. You can’t put two lions in the same room and not expect them to battle it out for the crown, can you? The feud only got more interesting when Tom Cruise came out with Valkyrie in 2008 and Brad Pitt answered with Inglourious Basterds the very next year.

The legacy of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt can almost be considered predestined in Hollywood – so powerful is their impact on the industry today. However, the problem with legends is that there can only be one of them at a time. And the world will never settle for knocking either Pitt or Cruise off the pedestal to raise the other.

After a making a record-breaking 160.5 million and sporting an exceptional 96 on Rotten Tomatoes, Tom Cruise’s high-flying “Top Gun: Maverick” is among the top movie successes of the year. With love pouring in for the second chapter of the story of test pilot and flight instructor Captain Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, can this fighter stay airborne for the next seven months and lead to Academy Awards success?
Casual awards viewers and fans have made comparisons to George Miller’s “Mad Max: Fury Road” as a possible Oscars point of comparison – a pretty wild and far-fetched correlation. One of only six movies to be nominated in every artisan category, Miller’s movie rejuvenated its franchise and arguably the entire action genre. “Maverick,” likewise, is a wonderful callback to its 1986 predecessor and boasts some fantastic effects and achievements.

Someone got left on the cutting room floor of Tom Cruise’s career retrospective montage at the Cannes Film Festival.
She may have been married to the superstar for more than a decade and appeared in three of his films, but there was nary a shot of Nicole Kidman to be found in the comprehensive series of clips from Cruise’s long career.
Sure, “Days of Thunder,” the film that Kidman and Cruise met cute on, was represented, but no footage of the two of them in a torrid embrace was on display. Instead, it was only shots of Cruise behind the wheel of a very fast car.
Yes, there were clips from “Far and Away,” the sprawling historical epic in which Cruise and Kidman appeared as Irish immigrants seeking their fortune in 1890s America, with dodgy accents to boot. Here, though, Cruise was glimpsed riding a horse. No Kidman to be found.

There are many ways to joke about vampires and pirates, but few that would make you care about them in the process.
That’s the essence of Taika Waititi’s brand. From the self-aware machismo he brought to “Thor” to the imaginary Hitler he played to cheer up an alienated Nazi child in “Jojo Rabbit,” Waititi has excelled at finding pathos in ludicrous places. In recent years, as his star power has blossomed, that distinctive sensibility has gone from the touchstone of his writer-director-star talent to become a full-on aesthetic that bleeds into the work of others in his orbit and the worlds they build on TV: Welcome to the Taika-verse.
Even in his early days as a filmmaker, with the infectious cringe-comedy of “Eagle vs Shark” and the bittersweet father-son saga “Boy,” Waititi’s trademark blend of silliness with soul was unmistakeable. As his name has expanded into a brand,...

Even in his early days as a filmmaker, with the infectious cringe-comedy of “Eagle vs Shark” and the bittersweet father-son saga “Boy,” Waititi’s trademark blend of silliness with soul was unmistakeable. As his name has expanded into a brand,...

Here’s one that really benefits from its 4K upgrade — Terry Gilliam’s dense visuals look great with Roger Pratt’s exacting cinematography. Is this really a thinking man’s science fiction hit, or did audiences mainly want to get a look at Brad Pitt in a new mode, playing a weird motormouthed eccentric? Bruce Willis and Madeleine Stowe star in a time-puzzle thriller adaptation of Chris Marker’s La jetée.

Jack Huston of “Boardwalk Empire” and “House of Gucci” has been cast as the pivotal and mysterious character Lasher in AMC’s “Mayfair Witches” series, the cabler announced on Friday. The series is based on the Mayfair trilogy by “Interview With the Vampire” author Anne Rice.
Lasher is a shape-shifting demon who has been linked to the family of witches for generations after being summoned in the 1600s. Rice described him as “a slim, pale, elegant figure with dark eyes and dark hair and a hypnotically seductive power over any of [the Mayfairs] reckless enough to entertain him.”
The character first appeared in Rice’s novel “The Witching Hour” in 1990, which was followed by 1993’s “Lasher” and 1994’s “Taltos.” He was voiced by Joe Morton in the 2000 audiobook.
Huston joins the previously announced series regulars, including Harry Hamlin as Cortland Mayfair, Alexandra Daddario as Dr. Rowan Fielding, who has just discovered her unusual heritage,...

“House of Gucci” and “Boardwalk Empire” star Jack Huston has joined AMC’s “Mayfair Witches” TV adaptation.
Based on Rice’s “Lives of the Mayfair Witches” trilogy, AMC’s “Mayfair Witches” focuses on intuitive young neurosurgeon Dr. Rowan Fielding (Alexandra Daddario ) who discovers that she is the unlikely heir to a family of witches. As she grapples with her newfound powers, she must contend with a sinister presence that has haunted her family for generations.
Huston will be playing the role of Lasher, described as one of “Lives of the Mayfair Witches” author Anne Rice’s “most mysterious and sensual characters — a powerful, shape-shifting entity who has been bound to the Mayfair witches for hundreds of years.”
He joins previously announced series regulars, including Daddario, as exclusively reported by Variety, Harry Hamlin (Cortland Mayfair) and Tongayi Chirisa (Ciprien).
“Mayfair Witches” is written and executive produced by showrunner Esta Spalding and Michelle Ashford.

The new teaser shows us some of the locations that the series will haunt, including Lestat and Louis' side-by-side caskets in an opulent bedroom, a New Orleans plantation-style home, and more.

AMC Networks has some big TV events to sell in the months ahead, but the company realizes advertisers who might like to be associated with those programs will want new kinds of advertising around them.
This next cycle of programming will bring with it TV events like the final episodes of “Better Call Saul’ and “The Walking Dead” that ought to command high prices in TV’s next “upfront” market, along with the debut of a show based on Anne Rice’s popular “Interview with the Vampire,” but without digital opportunities around them, marketers may not engage fully, suggests Kim Kelleher, AMC Networks’ president of commercial revenue and partnerships.
“We are seeing an increased appetite for digital inventory, and we have spent a lot of time working to break down the walls between digital and linear,” she says in an interview. “Those are table stakes now.”

Bibliophiles and even sometimes cinephiles will espouse the sentiment that "the book is better than the movie." But like the undead creatures at the heart of it, the vampire film genre has shown a remarkable ability to adapt and re-adapt certain seminal texts such as Bram Stoker's "Dracula," Anne Rice's "Interview with the Vampire," and John Ajvide Lindqvist's "Let the Right One In." The latter book, a Swedish vampire novel published in 2004, even managed to spin out two great film adaptations within two years of each other. The first one came out of the author's own native country. Lindqvist himself wrote the...

This story about “The Power of the Dog” first appeared in the Down to the Wire of TheWrap’s awards magazine.
She’s not even 40 yet, so why does it seem as if Kirsten Dunst has been overlooked by the Oscars for years, maybe even decades? It feels that way, of course, because we’ve been watching her since she was a child, from her startling preteen performances in “Interview With the Vampire” and “Little Women” through coming-of-age stories like “The Virgin Suicides” and “Bring It On,” hits like “Spider-Man” and critical favorites including “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” and “Melancholia.”
And now, after 33 years of acting, almost 60 movies, 19 TV shows (including the recent “On Becoming a God in Central Florida”) and two children with her partner, Jesse Plemons, she has her first Oscar nomination for Jane Campion’s “The Power of the Dog.”

A striking number of Oscar-nominated acting talent from 2021 got their start at a young age, with the power and excitement of performing for the screen grabbing them early and never letting go. Kristen Stewart began acting at age 8, and just received her first Oscar nomination for her portrayal of Princess Diana in “Spencer.” She recently spoke to Nicole Kidman, who landed her fifth nomination with her portrayal of Lucille Ball in “Being the Ricardos” for Variety’s “Actors on Actors,” about their youthful careers. Stewart spoke of discovering fame with “Twilight.” “When I started doing that movie, I was 17 and I was just a little inside-out person,” Stewart said. “I was walking around with all my blood on the outside of my body.”
Kidman replied: “I was 14. I remember Anthony Minghella saying to me, ‘You are skinless.’ I think that’s what you’re describing. Vulnerable, exposed, everything you are going through is for consumption.

Assad Zaman is the latest actor to join the cast of AMC's upcoming "Interview with the Vampire" series. Zaman, who recently co-starred in the 6-episode British period drama, "Hotel Portofino" (coming to PBS in the U.S.) will play the character Rashid. If that name doesn't ring a bell, it might be because Rashid did not appear in the 1994 film adaptation of Anne Rice's original "Interview with the Vampire" novel.

Michael Rymer’s Queen of the Damned (2002) celebrates its 20th anniversary next week. The film is notable for the breakthrough performance of Aaliyah as the title character Queen Akasha. The rising singer tragically died at age 22 during post-production, with the movie offering only a glimpse of her greater talent. But 20 years on, the movie is most remembered as a famously flawed fright flick follow-up to one of the best vampire movies ever made–a rush job which doomed a promising franchise. It earned its cinematic notoriety because it ignored its natural and unnatural resources.
The late Anne Rice reinvented vampires for a new generation on the page with her extensive series of novels. The immortal bloodsuckers of her Vampire Chronicles book series were provocative, dangerous, and boundary-shattering from the moment Interview with the Vampire was first published in 1976. The film adaptation of the same story was essentially produced due to overwhelming public demand.

AMC Networks says it plans to sell three addressable ad slots in each linear hour of original programs on its flagship cable network as well as WeTV, the latest expansion of technology that allows advertisers to hone their pitches to radiational mass TV audiences.
The spots are slated to run on Comcast, Charter and Cox cable systems and have the potential to reach 35 million U.S. homes. Amazon has already agreed to purchase some of the inventory as part of a year-long relationship across multiple programs. AMC will work with data company 605 to track and measure results as the campaign progresses.

Things don’t always work out for child actors in Hollywood. But this year’s Oscar nominations showed three promising paths to grown-up success. Kristen Stewart (“Spencer”), Kirsten Dunst (“The Power of the Dog”), and Kodi Smit-McPhee (also “Power of the Dog”) earned their first nominations this year after long careers that started before any of them could legally drive.
It’s certainly not unheard of for child stars to become Oscar nominees or winners as adults. There are examples going as far back as Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland, who made names for themselves as children and earned multiple Oscar noms as adults, and Rooney ended up winning an Honorary Oscar in 1983 for his lifetime achievements. Jodie Foster earned her first Oscar nomination for “Taxi Driver” (1976) at age 14 before growing up to win two Best Actress trophies for “The Accused” (1988) and “The Silence of the Lambs” (1991).

At around $7 million per 30-second spot, an ad for Sunday’s Super Bowl Lvi did not come cheap. But with more than 112 million viewers having tuned in for the Los Angeles Rams victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, the companies who shelled out that cash would likely think it was worth it to have their spot viewed by that many eyeballs. That was the case for AMC Networks, a company that prides itself on taking a very targeted approach to its niche streaming services and marketing the platforms to very specific audiences, but went very big during the big game with a spot promoting its flagship platform, AMC Plus.
