In the trailer for Interview With the Vampire, Jacob Anderson's character is seen talking to reporter Daniel Molloy about Sam Reid's Lestat de Lioncourt and says, "He is my murderer, my mentor, my lover, and my maker."
Reid's Lestat de Lioncourt sets his eyes on Anderson's Louis de Pointe du Lac and tells him, "We are destined to be very good friends." Lioncourt seduces Pointe du Lac and turns him into a vampire, to be his lifelong companion.
While it looks straightforward, the television adaptation has tweaked certain elements from the book. According to Esquire, the story begins in the present day in Dubai, with Louis de Pointe du Lac recounting his life as a vampire to Molloy.
Anderson's character is a black man who runs a brothel in the series as opposed to the white Creole plantation owner in Rice's book. The time period of the series is also not the same as the book. While Rice's original was set in colonial New Orleans in 1791, the show takes place in 1910.
In an interview with Esquire, Anderson said:
"I felt that Louis related to being a vampire in the same way that I relate to being a human. He's tortured by what the meaning of his existence is, what his code is, what he believes in. You don’t see characters like Louis very often. They don’t often get to be the hero."
