In the clip, Lestat (Sam Reid) is living in Montreal and having a video call with Louis (Jacob Anderson).

Patrons discuss the book in French, with one woman preferring Armand (Assad Zaman). The series began under the title of Rice's first book, Interview with the Vampire. |
| Movie review: 'Scream 7' honors legacy without gratuitous references | Scream 7, in theaters Friday, is the best Scream movie since the '90s. That's become an increasingly lower bar, but the return of original writer Kevin Williams refocuses the sequel on the original characters and themes, more so than movie references. Sydney (Neve Campbell) is now married to police officer Mark Evans (Joel McHale). They have a teenage daughter, Tatum (Isabel May), named after Rose McGowan's character from the 1996 Scream. Williamson, sharing screenplay credit with Guy Busick, explores the tension between Sydney and Tatum. Sydney is pretty measured when she catches Tatum's boyfriend, Ben (Sam Rechner), sneaking in, but opening up about five previous murder sprees is less natural. |
