New Scene Shows Lestat's Response to Interview with the Vampire Publication

AMC Networks released a scene from The Vampire Lestat, the next chapter in Anne Rice's Immortal Universe. The scene, "The Book," features Sam Reid and Jacob Anderson and shows Lestat's (Reid) reaction to the release of Daniel Molloy's (Eric Bogosian) book, Interview with the Vampire.
