AI Remade Interview with the Vampire EXACTLY as described in the book

- American author Anne Rice's 1976 novel Interview with the Vampire has been adapted into a movie and a TV series. But how faithful are the characters? I asked AI to recreate the main characters using book descriptions.
Having Claudia at the age she was written in the books would have been scary AF.
It would be terrifying to see 1:24 eating people.
Exactly and creepy because in the book her and Louie have this weird pedophilia type of relationship and to see the AI version of her in this video and then you think about Louie being in his 20s?? It's just disturbing and creepy 🤢
They could technically do that with cgi.
I think about this alot - there's many capable child actors who could do it. Maybe not 5 years old, but I remember seeing Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and the child on the set of the Western Leo Dicaprio's character is filming on is one example. They have an adult maturity inside a child's body. I was gutted when the TV show got a 20+ actor to play Claudia and that she would be 17 in the TV show.
@@THEBLACKSLEEPINGBEAUTY The relationships between the vampires are (in the novels) completely non-sexual. They have intense emotional bonds as a result of spending decades or centuries together.
Armand is like 16 years old when he was turned he doesn’t look like a 30 year old viking
Funny enough, the most accurate depiction of Armand is in the universally reviled Queen of the Damned film. Accept he is blond instead of auburn.
@@lonelyqueen86 I really do not remember Armand in that movie
@@lonelyqueen86 omg I just googled it. THAT WAS SPOSE TO BE ARMAND?! 😖 how did I miss that I’ve seen that movie a few times. I thought he was a random
During the time the book was written, 16 year olds look older than they are currently. So it still fits
@yet1993, absolutely not, Marius liked them young, and a 16 yld looked like a 16 yld back then, too.
They just forgot to tell AI that Armand is 16 years old. 😂😂😂
Louis is absolutely stunning. 💚💚💚
That is exactly what I was going to say. Armand was turned when he was sixteen. Why do shows and movies always skip that very important detail?
@@gregoryv1373probably because it’s a bit f*cked up, some audiences wouldn’t like it
Ain't no way Marius would have made Armand into a vampire as a fully grown bearded man. He's supposed to be a Ukrainian teenager 😅
I know that people don't appreciate Antonio Banderas, Assad Zaman, or the other blonde guy who played Armand in "Queen of the Damned", but I think Assad is doing the best at fully embodying the character by a landslide. & so what if he's now from Delhi in the TV show - it's the same story 🙌
Assad has the personality down to a T and he's a heck of a lot prettier and more youthful looking than the AI "book" description here lol
Fun fact, Anne rice originally wanted the sex in the books, but her publishers frowned on what would have been a gay couple raising a little girl in a time that that was frowned on
He was Russian. Back in 15th century there was no ukraine, only Kievan Rus.
Assad is a wonderful actor, he really captured the character, I do understand the fans being a bit miffed because the creators have not stayed true to the book, I was a bit unsure myself to begin with, I hate it when the tv show barely resembles the original content, but personally I think they've done such a great job I just can't be mad anymore, I love pretty much every actor they cast!
@@StardustRabbit-nk3rc sure buddy
Why is Lestat portrayed as half bald? He was just 20 when he was turned, he would still have a full mane of hair, in fact, that's one of his main prides
I think Lestat was closer to 30 in the books. But still had a full mane of poofy curls as per his own description in his book
@@TheWhiteGyrfalcon He was 20.
@@TheWhiteGyrfalconLestat was 21 when he turned
AI Armand also doesn't look like a seventeen year old cherub. This character is cursed to never get a book accurate depiction 😂 But tv Lestat is pretty accurate.
I think the same about Armand. No screenwriter is going to be able to create an Armand as described in the books? I do not think that it is that hard. Antonio Banderas was a bad choice to be Armand, but the one in the series is even worse, because he can't even be considered beautiful. And I'm sorry if anyone criticizes me, but I have to be honest, they have chosen a person with a very strange face to represent Armand.
Leland Fraser would be a good choice!
True. Closest to the book is the unfortunate "Queen of the Damned" movie version (though he is too blond)
I think tv Lestat (Sam Reid) is the closest to what has been in my mind of Lestat since first reading the book over 20 years ago.
I know it can’t be done on screen, but a Claudia that looked like that, an innocent child, that went on killing rampages, would be DEEPLY unsettling. That’s not to say that the 3 actors who have portrayed her haven’t been excellent.
claudia never went on a killing rampage tho
Season 2 Claudia was a million times better than season 1 Claudia.
More fitting & the much better actress imo
Kirsten Dunst Claudia is the Only Claudia, aside from the book.
@@darkthrone7201 100%
Seeing her face really cements the horror of her fate. She’s so helpless!
So the Daniel Malloy AI character has 2.5 Adam's apples!?!? 🍏🍏🍎🍎
Armand looks like Thorn!😂Armand is 17 yrs old, 5'6 tall, large brown eyes and smooth skinned and looks like an angel, no one can ever get him right😂Daniel and Louis almost look exactly how I'd picture them though! Beautiful! Lestat's face should have been a bit more broad and square. Sam Reid is truly a perfect Lestat. Santiago was scary af!😂
Sam Reid💯
If I remember correctly, Anne Rice wanted Lestat to be played by young Rutger Hauer
That’s because she wrote the book in the early 70s. I was about 13 years old when I read it for the first time in 1980.
Yep,I remember that
I recall that she was at first dead set against Tom Cruise, until she saw him in the role. After that she loved him and was glad she didn't have anyone else do it.
To bad she never had the chance to see Sam Play Lestat, I wonder what her reaction would have been.
I am sure she would have loved the amc Lestat, can't imagine anyone doing better job
So Antonio Banderas turns into Jamie from Outlander?
This just tells me that nobody can do the books descriptions justice 🤣
ACTUALLY most of the vampires in Interview & Vampire Lestat are supposed to be young men.
Late teens early 20s. Which is what made Marius standout. Coz he was said to be in his early 40s
Read the books over 30 years ago -damn. The movie was good for the time but the series is amazing.
Andriy was born in the Ukraine back in the late 15th century when it was part of the Kyivan Rus state. Marius de Romanus named him Amadeo after buying him from slavers. he's about 14-15yo when he is turned into a vampire. He was considerd powerful in the blood due to Marius drinking from Akasha. but his small body was not big enough to hold the larger amount of blood needed to fully turn someone. He later went by the name Armand.
the cast for the series is so perfect not even ai can match, and the skin color of the characters like Louis and Claudia makes the series more update in every sense.
😭Santiago looks so creepy
So according to AI, Lestat looks like the lovechild of Bill Skarsgard and Fabio.
When you actually see what Claudia would've looked like it makes the character a lot more disturbing !!!
When I read the novel I picture Claudia to almost look like a five year old Shirley temple with maybe hair a little longer. I enjoyed movie Claudia but I would say she did not match my description in my head from book and not because of age difference. This AI version of her almost looks like a doll
Now do Dracula as exactly described in the book.
Armand was much much younger. Lestat also should look younger.
I’m sorry but the AI Lestat looks more like Mael from the books
thank you for posting proof that AI generated images are terrible/ugly and cannot be better than actual humans
AI made Armand (a 16 year old teen) look like Thorne.
Yeah they waited until Anne Rice died to deficate on her legacy.
What a faithful interview with the vampire would look like if it wasn't the woke DEI slop that is the reboot show
Louis would have long hair, most men did at the time
Louie=brad pitt
Lestat,=Sam Reid
Armand=Antonio Banderas
Claudia=Kirsten Danst
Sam is the best of all❤❤
Armand and louis are totally different in the books lol
Antonio Banderas made a great vampire, though I always imagined him as Santino while reading the various novels he was a side character in 😮😅 🎉 V..V
@@bloodvampyrerosesxiii2468 yes he was good but when i watched the film the first time i thought he was santiago or santino definitely not armand lol but he have armand's charisma
Antoine looks more like the book Louis I had originally pictured. Anyway, AI is scary, amirite?
Well that's how Lestat likes em
Armand was around 16 or 17 when he was turned, so why did they portray him as a middle-aged man? His youth is a crucial aspect of his character, he orchestrated his own death at 17 to ensure Marcus would turn him when he was still young and beautiful. Armand feared that as he aged and lost his beauty, Marcus would lose interest in him.
Yes !! NO FREAKING WOKE CHARACTERS LIKE THE WOKE CLAUDIA AND LOUIE!!!! I AM SICK OF THE WOKE REWRITING EVERYTHING ONLY FOR IT TO TURN TO CRAP!!!!
I'm very disappointed they got Armada all wrong! He's supposed to be like 16 or 15 years old when he was turned into a vampire.
I have to say everyone gets that wrong with him!!!
So the makers of the TV show never read the book, I guess.
First, the TV series it's nothing, NOTHING like the Anne's work, in my opinion a total insult to the Chronicles and to real fans of the books. ..so it's impossible to compare even to the movie ( who is an Anne's adaptation).
Second...only Jamie Bower has/had the right bone structure and figure to play Lestat ( and the voice!!!! ).
Pity producers didn't have the idea to try with him and a decent screenplay. Who knows, maybe in 20 years we will get the best Lestat ever...but definitely not this one TV rubbish 👎
Armand was 17 I swear.
Lestat looks like Jasper from _Twilight_ 😅
Antoine AI can absolutely get it
Anne Rice lost her daughter I believe.
Can you do The Queen of the Damned book version?
@@encheknizam Great suggestion. I will keep that in mind.
IT characters described as they were in the book
That is coming very soon. Stay tuned.
@@ScreenAI Ok
Louis and Daniel look amazing 🎉
I love how people keep saying that Armand is 16 when he was 17. Trust me, that year makes a difference 🤣
It doesn't. 16-17 can't make a real difference appearance wise. Unless genetics changes that person in that time. Its different for everyone
@@gotens24 This is very true. Perhaps to other teens it can but to most adults, not really a visual difference nor any noticeable social maturity in regards to experience haha. From 16-18 I looked like like a teenager and I think it has a lot to do with how we carry ourselves as we age. 16 is a proper teen, 17 is a proper teen with slightly more wisdom & common sense, 18 is a proper teen with legal privileges and slightly new social privileges yet after 21, then each year begins to truly have an impact on how we age visually and how we act.
Ok, Woody Allen
@@Sympathy_forLadyVengeance it's weird that your mind went to there... lmao
@@LeaRe3d my mind has taken me to places I wouldn't even go with a gun
LMAO WHAT IS THE ARMAND ONE
LMAO ARMAND LOOKS 35
The AI all look frightened and souless - interesting yet creepy
Only ones that seem right in this video are Claudia and Antoine lol
The rest are just wild lol. Armand was like 16 or 17 when turned and distinctly described as boyish with an angelic face 😂
I’d love to see this done with the characters from Kushiel’s Dart
Ai is going to eventually give us the whole thing done correctly. I can't wait.
I wouldn't count on that. The problem being that AR wrote all her main Vampire characters to be white. Media is (rightly so) trying to be more inclusive of all races now.
The tv show is amazing
The AI got it spot on. That's why I won't watch the TV show. I want the characters as the original book that I loved describes them.
They got Antoinette wrong - come on now - a dude?! And Santaiago - umm last I check Santiago wasn't a warrior or tribal. Those two look nothing like Antoinette and Santiago. Also, I don't believe the AI program is not real - I feel this is more of a fan made concept video using clips and shots from other movies and tv media. I don't even think AI was even involve.
TV claudia was almost entirely opposite of the book description... but she was a she.. so they got that part right.
Poor Antoine.
AI failed this one….. kinda! 😂
Do Silence of the Lambs.
I will keep that in my to-do list.
Antoinette was Antoine??😮 I didn't remember that Lestat was having an affair with Antoine.
AI LESTAT IS SCARY!!
Umm...Why is Claudia's companion about 9 years old? I mean, she's kinda robbing the cradle with Madeline being like 30 and Claudia 2 decades older, but our girl doesn't want to be a little kid, nor does she want to date one.
So many of them have blonde hair. which is not, in reality (outside bleach agents) that common.
You do a great job!! The only thing lacking is a soul behind the eyes.
There r 2 AI images that I greatly dislike. 1st is that of Armand. U forgot to mention in the description that he is forever 16/17 years old w/an angelic face. The AI, just like the movie & the TV show made him too old & y'all gave him a scruffy beard. Does that seem angelic to u?🙄
2nd complaint is the AI generated image of Santiago. He didn't have a painted face to look like the grim reaper. He had white/pale skin & dark/black eyes not blackened eyes. I think Stephen Rea's portrayal from the movie is closest to the actual book description. He just needed to be a bit more gaunt & taller.
Louie is white passing Creole in the book. Not a French Cajun. Creole.
Google “New Orleans Creole community” or “Louisiana Creole’s”
Goes to show that AI is creepy af and not to be trusted with creation
I gave up on Armand's character been resembled even a little like in the books. After throwing a fit about Assad being Armand, I watched the series with an open mind, but i just couldn't see Armand in him. I had to play tricks with my brain lol.
And AI gets another one wrong. Honestly, why bother?
Why was that was creepy as hell???
Plus, no one could be a better Lestat than Sam!
Armand is way off from his book description.
I cannot stand forced racial inclusion, so I have not watched the TV show, no matter how good people say it is. I'm loyal to Anne's work, this definitely isn't. I watched IWTV as a teen, before reading any of the books, so I didn't know Armand it's supposed to be a redhead teenager, not Antonio Banderas, still, gave him a pass because (imo) his acting was great, I even watched The Queen of The Damned for sh!ts and giggles, and even though Akasha is not meant to be black, Aliyah did a pretty good job (again, my opinion) so I gave her a pass as well. But the new show is way too many things done wrong.
Yes the tv show is awful and totally different from the source material, they changed everything and the writing is so weak
That isn't Armand... that's closer to Jamie Fraiser from Outlander. Why is it that Armand constantly gets fucked up? LOL
The characters of F. Paul Wilson's 'The Keep'. Would love to see how they would turn out in a book to AI presentation.
The TV show is a mockery of a legendary series.
Can you do The Phantom of the Opera (book) characters please!!
@@emilyrios3234 I will keep that in my to-do list.
@@ScreenAI Thank you, can't wait!!!
The movie was exactly by the book
i have nto watch the vampire tv show BUT how did they make lous black when he was a slaver owner
They changed his whole storyline
ok is it good
@@stevemyopinion423 i watched the first season and i didn't like it, basically they changed everything that i loved in the book, the gothic atmosphere is almost non existent. and the writing is poor
@@stevemyopinion423 the show is very good. Don’t let people stop you from watching it because they made some characters black. Make you own opinion.
It not that he black. He was a slave master. So if they change everything. That could make the story better or worse
In my opinion, the AI version is already in accordance with the narrative of the book, as for the film and TV for the characters Lestat, Louis, Claudia, Armand, they are already fitting and captivating, it's just that what surprises me is Daniel Molloy, in the film Christian Slater has dark hair but if he decides to bleach his hair, then it will fit 100 percent according to the book, especially for Lestat and Louis, woww the AI so perfectly portrays both of them, in my opinion, in the film the selection of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt is already perfect and for TV, the most surprising thing is the selection of the actor for Louis, it's like what the... 😅😊
Why is no one talking about Antoinette 😂😂😂
I refuse to watch the tv series
Euuhh... Lestat est supposé être séduisant, pas faire peur ! mdr
Sensing a pattern with book desc VS TV...
Why does Armand, yet again look farrr too old, the new TV series Armand is closer looking of you gave him red hair. Santiago looks like an actual freak show participant. He is always wrong
Armand looks 16 so this is still way off
I rather the Movie because there is too much Gay Sh:t in the Series.
They annihilated the entire book and storyline.. not everything gotta be “inclusive” That’s the part of telling a story or creating some thing that has already been written that everybody liked.. And I lived in NOLA for years.. met Anne Rice and this new version on AMC wannn’t any good
That's ok then just don't watch
Tv series are possible one of the best serie I've seen in a while
I mean have you read the books? Lol
Lmao you realize the books and movies were gay too right?
they did daniel wrong he is hot in the books
I thought this AI did a pretty good job of Daniel's waifish body and boyish face. The hair was too yellow though, he has ash/silvery blonde hair.
@@lillydee5978 he dont look 20 but 16 Daniel turned when he was in his 30 and he was described as bigger than Armand and hot that AI was anything but that
Louis is accurate, so beautiful
sam reid como lestat es la encarnacion perfecta de lestat con menton cuadrado cabello rubio boca sensual y cuerpo musculoso y una elegancia gatuna como se describe asi mismo lestat en el libro lo siento la inteligencia artificial fallo ahi y con la imagen de armand y santiago no lucen asi en la descripcion en el libro
Wrong wrong wrong
Sorry I DO NOT like amcplus series.
Lestat looks creepy with the IA . So ugly! Sam reid is the best representation.
And for that people hat1ng the tv show, darling stop being creepy, they cant make s 5 year old girl play claudia because is f weird ! That realtionship between claudia and louis is not .... appropriate for a tv show !!!!!!!!! Understand it.
A director cant take a little child like that to play claudia casuse claudia is a really difficult character and the story is very dark... People of course will cancell the show.
I will never undestand the hat3 for the show, poor sam, was traumatized with the bad comments for almost 6 months...
😢
So everyone is white...got it! Glad for the TV show so much more diversity.
This video is very inaccurate - am sorry but am not sorry - is facts
Ew
I like the show better
Absolutely not.
Enough of the ai it's 💩
ai slop garbage
no offense to the gays, but I really wanted it to be as the 1994 I remember
The TV series is Woke as hell
In what way?
No no no
That’s why the tv show is so bad
Wokeness turns everything into shxt
I was a HUGE naysayer too, but gave it a watch and now love it! It's actually very good. The acting is amazing. Sam Reid is a perfect Lestat. Yes, it took liberties and made it's own interpretations, but it still manages to do justice to Anne Rice's characters. I was honestly shocked at how entertaining I found it.
@@StardustRabbit-nk3rcwhat does wokeness mean?
@@StardustRabbit-nk3rc I can tell you never saw a single episode of the TV series. It is HOW you do an adaptation right. Stop bitching, you look like a fool.
It’s an interpretation just read the og if it pisses you off
