The Super Bowl isn’t only about the halftime show anymore. There’s also the commercials to look forward to. Last night AMC+ revealed an enticing streamer preview, featuring the service’s forthcoming projects. Right in the centre of the commercial sits an exciting first look at their Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire series.
Australian actor Sam Reid has been officially tapped to play the lead role of Lestat in the upcoming Interview With the Vampire series, Variety reports. He can be seen front and centre in the Super Bowl Sunday AMC clip.
The actor currently stars in the Australian series The Newsreader, an acclaimed drama. He has also appeared in other series like The Hunting, Lambs of God, and The Astronaut Wives Club. His most notable film roles to date include Belle, Anonymousand ‘71.
What’s interesting about this casting is that it could signal a long-term contract for the star. AMC owns the rights to the entire Vampire Chronicles universe, and will also produce a Lives of the Mayfair Witches series. The studio seems to be actively pursuing the franchise from multiple angles.
