"The challenge of adapting for television the groundbreaking and immensely compelling work of Anne Rice is both intimidating and exhilarating," Johnson said. "Having previously produced films from such singular works, I recognize both the responsibility and the obligation we owe the material. I strongly believe that with AMC and Rolin Jones we are equipped to meet this challenge and to thrill and entertain both the loyal Anne Rice fan and the viewer who is just now discovering her work."

Published in 1976, Interview With the Vampire is a novel by acclaimed horror author Anne Rice that centers on a 200-year-old vampire named Louis de Pointe du Lac, who recounts his life story over the course of an interview with an unnamed reporter. A film adaptation from Warner Bros. was released in 1994, directed by Neil Jordan and starring Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Antonio Banderas, Christian Slater and Kirsten Dunst.
