He manawa koʻikoʻi ia i kaʻu ʻoihana ma ke ʻano he mea kākau a ʻo ia kaʻu e aloha ai no ke koena o koʻu ola. No ka hanohano o Ms. Rice, a me kāna mau haʻawina i ke ʻano, makemake ʻo iHorror iā ʻoe e kipa hou i kā mākou manawa me kēia mea kākau kupaianaha.

Heluhelu…

ʻO Anne Rice. ʻO ka mea wale nō e lohe a heluhelu paha i ka inoa a piha ka manaʻo me nā hihiʻo o nā ʻāina gothic, chateaus kahiko, New Orleans, ʻAigupita, a me nā vampire nani e hele wāwae i ko lākou hale keʻena a ʻūlū i ko lākou mau alanui. I nā makahiki he 40 mai ka wā mai Nīnauele me ka Vampire i hoʻokuʻu mua ʻia, ua hiki iā ia ke kālai i kāna kikoʻī ponoʻī i ka fiction fiction, e hana ana i kahi mea weliweli, pīhoihoi, moemoeā, a me ke aloha. ʻO kekahi mea a ka poʻe pā e haʻi aku ai iā ʻoe ma luna o kēlā mau lepili i ke kaʻina.

Ua hālāwai mua wau ninaninau i ke kula kiʻekiʻe ma hope koke iho o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni a loaʻa koke iaʻu kahi kope o ka puke a ʻai ʻia i loko o kekahi mau hola. ʻO ka ʻōlelo ʻana he Anneboy Rice fanboy wau e kūpono, a no laila hiki iā ʻoe ke noʻonoʻo i ka hauʻoli nui aʻu i ʻike ai i ka ʻae ʻana e pane i kekahi mau nīnau iaʻu e pili ana i kāna puke hou loa. ʻO Prince Lestat a me nā Aupuni o Atlantis.  

ʻO ka puke hou loa i loko ona ʻO Vampire Chronicles haʻi i kahi moʻolelo i makemake ka hapa nui o kāna mau mea pā e lohe no ka manawa lōʻihi, e ʻimi ana i ka backstory o ka ʻuhane pohihihi ʻo Amel nāna i hana i nā vampires mua i ka wā i hoʻopili ʻo ia i kāna kumu i loko o ke koko a me nā kino o ka Mōʻī Enkil a me ka Mōʻī wahine ʻo Akasha kumakaia ʻia e kā lākou poʻe ukali. He moʻolelo ia i 40 mau makahiki i ka hana ʻana, akā naʻe, a hiki i kona wā i hala iho nei Prince lestat a ʻo kāna hahai ʻana, wahi a ka mea kākau, ʻaʻole ʻo ia i noʻonoʻo e haʻi i kāna moʻolelo ma mua o ka mea a mākou i ʻike mua ai.

"Ua ʻike mākou iā ia ma o nā puke he nui e like me ka ʻuhane e hoʻolalelale a hoʻopili i nā vampires āpau, akā no nā kenekulia ua manaʻo ʻia ua nalowale kona ʻano pilikino ma nā pae āpau," i hoʻomaka ai ʻo ia. "Ma ka noho ʻana ma Akasha, ka Mōʻīwahine o nā Vampires, ʻike ʻia ʻaʻohe ona makemake a leo paha. ʻOiai ma hope o ka lawe ʻia ʻana i kahi hoʻokipa hou Moiwahine o ka ʻino, Me he mea la i ike ole ia o Amel. A ua ʻike nā vampire a pau, ʻo ka make ʻana o ka pūʻali koa ke ʻano o ka make ʻana o ʻAmel a me ka make ʻana o ka ʻohana holoʻokoʻa me he mea lā ua pua nā vampire a pau ma luna o kahi kumu waina i pili iā Amel.

"ʻAe, ua hoʻololi kēia mau mea a pau ʻO Prince Lestat i ka wā i hoʻomaka ai ʻo Amel e kamaʻilio telepathically a ma o nā vampires nāwaliwali ʻē aʻe a ua lawe ʻia ʻo ia i Lestat i lilo i mea hoʻokipa a me ke aliʻi o ka ʻohana, "i hoʻomau ai ʻo ia. “Ma loko aupuni ʻIke mākou i nā mea hou aʻe e pili ana iā Amel, kona ʻano, kona ʻano, pehea ʻo ia i lilo ai i ʻuhane a me kahi ʻuhane ikaika, etc. ʻAʻole wau i hoʻolālā i kēia mai kinohi. ʻAʻohe mea e pili ana i kaʻu mau moʻolelo vampire i hoʻolālā ʻia mai kinohi. Ua ʻike au me Lestat i kona neʻe ʻana i nā makahiki e ʻimi ana i nā pane a me ka loaʻa ʻana o nā manawa e loaʻa ai nā hanana like ʻole. Ke ulu nei kēlā me kēia puke hou mai ka puke ma mua. Aloha au i kēia kaʻina hana, ʻoiaʻiʻo. Aloha au iā Lestat. Makemake au i ka nīnau ʻana i nā nīnau a me ka noʻonoʻo ʻana i nā pane. "

E like me ʻoe e hoʻopau ai mai ke poʻo inoa, ua pili pololei ka moʻolelo a Amel i ka mokupuni nalowale ʻo Atlantis a me ka mea pohihihi nui i hoʻopuni i kāna kumu a me kona hāʻule ʻana mai ka wā o Plato. He hana hoʻoweliweli ia, akā ua ʻōlelo ʻo Rice, he hana ia e like me ka uku. ʻO ka puke ke kūlana kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe ma Amazon o kāna mau puke mai nā 20 mau makahiki i hala. Ua hauʻoli ʻo ia i kēlā pane, a kuhikuhi ʻo ia i ka hopena o ka lehulehu inā hoʻoholo kahi puke a ʻaʻole paha. ʻAʻole ia e keakea ʻia e ka nele o ka hoihoi o kekahi poʻe heluhelu.

"Heʻoiaʻiʻo nō kekahi poʻe e mālama ʻole i ka puke. ʻO kēia ka hihia mau. A aia kekahi e hōʻino nei i kāna ʻano ʻepekema ʻepekema; ​​” Kuhikuhi ʻo Rice, “akā noʻu nā ʻāpana vampires he hapa nui ia o ia mea, a me ke kuhi manaʻo e pili ana iā Atlantis, a aia ʻo Lestat ma waenakonu me ka ʻaha vampire ʻōlinolino i loko o kāna chateau ma Palani, a noʻu nei he mea hōʻoluʻolu o ke aloha gothic, nā ʻepekema puʻuwai ʻepekema, a me nā ʻano aʻu e hana ai i ka Vampire Chronicles ʻokoʻa a maʻalahi ʻole. Inā pono wau e hoʻokaʻawale i ka puke, e kāhea wau ia he mea hoʻohiwahiwa metaphysical. ʻO kaʻu mau puke āpau he mea hauʻoli nā metaphysical ke ʻike wau. ”

ʻO ka haʻi ʻana i ka moʻolelo o Amel i lawe iā mākou i nā wahi hou a hoihoi a hōʻike mai ʻo Rice iā mākou i kahi ʻano hou o ka make ʻole. He ʻokoʻa loa lākou mai nā vampires i kā lākou biology a me ke ʻano o ka hānau ʻana, a ʻo kekahi o nā mea hoihoi loa e ʻike ʻia ma nā puke a Rice. Hōʻike ʻo ia, akā naʻe, ʻo kā lākou moʻolelo e like me ke kanaka e like me nā vampires, a ʻo kā lākou hoʻoikaika ʻana e like me kā mākou.

"ʻO ka hānau ʻana he poʻomanaʻo maoli nō ia o ka Chronicles e like me ka make ʻole he kumuhana. Pehea e hanau ai keia mau mea make ole? A manaʻo mau lākou he pono nui e hana i kēia. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻo kēia mau mea āpau e pili ana iā mākou, e pili ana i ko mākou manaʻo he make ʻole mākou, ko mākou manaʻoʻiʻo he mau ʻuhane make ʻole mākou, a me ko mākou makemake e hoʻohānau ma ke aloha. ʻIke wau i kēia mau metaphors, "wahi āna. "Akā pili mau ia iā mākou. ʻO nā moʻolelo kupua maikaʻi a pau e pili ana iā mākou, e pili ana i ke kūlana kanaka. ʻO nā moʻolelo ʻepekema maikaʻi a pau aʻu i heluhelu ai e pili ana iā mākou, e pili ana i ka naʻau a me ka ʻuhane o ke kanaka.

Ua hana ka mea kākau i kekahi o nā neʻe wiwo ʻole i hiki ke noʻonoʻo ʻia i ka haʻi ʻana i kā Amel moʻolelo a i ka wā i hōʻea ai kāna vampires i ka hopena me kā lākou kumu. Me ka hahau ʻana o kahi peni, ua hoʻohuli piha ʻia ka evolution a me nā wā e hiki mai ana o nā vampires ma luna o kona poʻo. Ua haʻalulu kēia e heluhelu a ʻaʻole hiki iaʻu ke noʻonoʻo i ke kākau ʻana, akā ua hele hou ka mea kākau i ke kumuhana mai kahi ʻano ʻokoʻa a hāʻawi i kahi ʻike hou i kāna hana i ka manawa like.

"Ua lawe nerve. ʻAe, hoʻololi nui wau i nā mea no Lestat a me ka ʻohana. Akā ʻike wau i kēia e wehe ana ma mua o hoʻokahi puka no Lestat a me nā vampires, no nā puke hou aku e pili ana i nā ʻenemi a me nā pilikia a lākou e kū nei i kēia manawa, "wehewehe ʻo ia. "Ua maikaʻi nā mea āpau i kaʻu hana ʻana. ʻO wau kahi kanaka e hana instinctively, me ka hilinaʻi nui i ke kaʻina hana, e waiho ana iaʻu iho i Lestat a ʻike i ka honua ma o kāna mau maka ... a inā ʻaʻole maikaʻi ia, ʻaʻole maikaʻi e kākau. Maikaʻi loa kēia. ”

Wehe maoli ka hoʻololi i nā puka no kāna vampires a me nā immortals hou e hoʻonani i ka ʻaoʻao. Hoʻopaʻa paʻa ʻia nā mea ʻelua i kekahi i kekahi, kuhikuhi ʻo Rice, a pīhoihoi ʻo ia e pili ana i ke kūlana o kahi e alakaʻi ai ka moʻolelo i ka puke aʻe āna e kākau nei. E hoʻomau ka nānā ʻana i kāna Lestat aloha a me nā vampires a mākou i aloha ai i loko o nā makahiki he kanahā i hala a ke kia nei i ka ʻohana ma ke ʻano holoʻokoʻa ma mua o nā puke memo hoʻokahi e like me Pandora a Koko a me Gula ka mea a mākou i ʻike ai i ka wā ma mua.

ʻAʻole ʻo ka puke hou ka nūhou nui a Rice i hōʻike ai i ka honua i kēia manawa. Ua mālama ʻia kekahi o nā poʻe i ka nūhou ua loaʻa hou iā ia nā kuleana hana keaka i KULA o nā ʻO Champicle Vampire. He hoʻolaha ia i hana ʻia me ka piʻoloke o kāna fandom me nā kuhi manaʻo e hoʻoliʻiliʻi a hoʻolei hoʻi i ka wā āna i hoʻolaha ai e makemake ana ʻo ia e ʻike i kahi adaptation ma ke ʻano he kīwī kīwī, ma kahi o nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni wale nō.

"I kēia manawa, mahalo nui mākou i ka hoihoi i hōʻike ʻia e nā mea he nui i ke kīwī kīwī ʻo Vampire Chronicles a ke kaupaona pono nei mākou i nā makana i loaʻa iā mākou a i ʻole nā ​​overture i hiki mai. ʻO Tentatip, ʻo kaʻu mea maikaʻi loa no ka papahana me kahi mea hana e kauoha i nā kau o ke kau āpau a hāʻawi i kahi kau holoʻokoʻa i ka lehulehu i hoʻokahi manawa, "haʻi ʻo ia iaʻu. "Akā aia kekahi mau mea hiki. Lana koʻu manaʻo no nā waiwai hana kiʻekiʻe loa, a no ka hoʻokō i ka haʻi ʻana i ka moʻolelo o Lestat mai kinohi – mai kona wā ʻōpio ma Palani a hiki i kāna mau ʻike i ke kenekulia 21 o nā loulou e pili ana i nā vampires i ka moʻolelo o ke aupuni nalowale. o Atlantis — Ua hana ʻia ʻo Lestat i vampire ma ka hopena o ke kenekulia 18 ma Palisa, a kokoke koke ʻo ia e hoʻomaka e ʻike i ke kumu o kēia ʻano, a he aha nā vampires ʻē aʻe i ka honua. ʻO ka ʻimi a Lestat i hoʻokumu ai i ka moʻo. ”

Ua hoʻokau nui ʻia nā mea aloha i nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni e ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni Moiwahine o ka ʻino no ka mea, he nui nā kūʻokoʻa i lawe ʻia me ka moʻolelo a ua hoʻololi ʻia nā mea he nui e hana i kahi kiʻi ʻoniʻoni mai nā puke ʻelua. Makemake ka mea kākau e hoʻonāukiuki i kēlā mau makaʻu i ka hiki ke hiki, akā naʻe, e ʻōlelo ana ua hoʻoulu ʻia e ke ʻano o nā kīwī kīwī i loaʻa i nā makahiki he XNUMX i hala.

"Kūleʻa mākou i ka kūpaʻa i nā mea, a me ka hilinaʻi iā ia ma ke ʻano he moʻolelo ikaika loa a pono ʻole e hoʻoinu ʻia i kekahi ʻano a i ʻole kekeke i kekahi ʻano e lawa ai" nā hopohopo o kēia au. Makemake mākou i ke ʻano o ka hilinaʻi i nā mea a David Geffen a me Neil Jordan i hōʻike ai i ka hana ʻana i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni Nīnauele me ka Vampire i ka makahiki 1994. A makemake nui mākou i nā waiwai hoʻohilohi a me ka hana maikaʻi a mākou i ʻike ai ma "Pāʻani o nā Nohoaliʻi" a me "Ke kalaunu." Aia ke kīwī i ke au gula i kēia manawa me kekahi o nā moʻolelo moʻolelo hana nui loa a mākou i ʻike ai ma ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni. ʻO ke ʻaoʻao noʻeau, ka cinematography, ka hana ʻana ... maikaʻi loa nā mea āpau i kēia manawa. Hauʻoli wau, hauʻoli, e hana nei i kēia. ʻO nā moʻo ʻē aʻe i hoʻoikaika nui iaʻu i loko o nā makahiki e komo pū ana me “The Tudors,” “Deadwood,” “Six Feet Under,” “Carnivale,” Neil Jordan's “The Borgias,” “Hell on Wheels,” and “Penny Dreadful” aʻu e ua hoʻomaka wale e leʻaleʻa. Nui a ʻē aʻe paha nā inoa. ”

E makemake paha ʻoe e nānā i ka ʻaoʻao Facebook no ʻO Vampire Chronicles kahi hoʻololi i hoʻonohonoho ʻia e Anne a me kāna keiki, ka mea kākau akamai ʻo Mr. ʻO Christopher Rice.
