The Vampire Chronicles
As of August 2014, an entire reboot of "The Vampire Chronicles" was planned by producers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci after the motion picture rights were optioned by Universal Pictures and Imagine Entertainment. Christopher Rice's screenplay for "The Tale of the Body Thief" was reportedly worked into the recent deal for a proposed film franchise and a reinterpretation of "Interview with the Vampire" was also hinted by Rice herself via Facebook. However, in November 2016 Universal did not renew the contract, and the film and television rights reverted to Rice, who began developing the Vampire Chronicles into a television series with Christopher.
