Review copy received 11/04/09 From the time of its announcement, I had been looking forward to this new book by Anne Rice. As I say in every review, I am not a die-hard Anne Rice fan. I found Interview with a Vampire interesting and intriguing, but in hindsight, must lay much of the responsibility of the current vampire as victim and love-object obsession at its feet. After that, I had no patience with her writing until Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt. In that book I observed a kind of control and authorial voice that I had not seen in any of the books I had sampled since Interview . So too with Christ the Lord: The Road to Cana. Perhaps because of the subject matter, perhaps for other reasons, these two books seemed to witness a level of control of language and story that the other books did not.

According to imdb.com, there are actually two separate films. The later one is still in production, so I guess that trailer is for the 2007 version.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to keep watch at Netflix and the local library.
Dear Fred,
ReplyDeleteNope, I know that on the site the trailer was listed for the forthcoming film; however, in other sites, that trailer has been available since about 2007. There is ANOTHER trailer of the same vintage from a different group, so perhaps that belongs to the 2007 film?

Steven
Interesting.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'll keep watch for whatever shows up. The 2007 film isn't available either on Netflix or the library. I wonder if it was even released.
Dear Fred,
ReplyDeleteGood question. I found this review (http://www.roguecinema.com/article-1206--0-0.html) of it--so it has been released, but I certainly never heard about it at the time, and it would have provoked intense interest for me.
