AMC has just dropped the first trailer for its newest series based on the best selling novel, Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire, of the same name at SDCC. It's set to release on Sunday, October 2 on AMC — right after The Walking Dead's series finale.

You have nothing to fear but yourself.

AMC's show account tweeted the trailer with the caption: "You have nothing to fear but yourself."

Based on the trailer, the show seems to be a modern retelling of the novel and seems to have a cast that's to die for — with it including Jacob Anderson (Game of Thrones), Sam Reid (The Newsreader), Bailey Bass (Avatar: The Way of the Water), and Eric Bogosian (Succession).

The show description reads, "Based on Anne Rice’s revolutionary gothic novel, Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire follows Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson), Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid), and Claudia’s (Bailey Bass) epic story of love, blood, and the perils of immortality, as told to journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian). Chafing at the limitations of life as a black man in 1900s New Orleans, Louis finds it impossible to resist the rakish Lestat’s offer of the ultimate escape: joining him as his vampire companion."

It continues: "But Louis’s intoxicating new powers come with a violent price, and the introduction of Lestat’s newest fledgling, the child vampire Claudia, soon sets them on a decades-long path of revenge and atonement."

Published in 1997 by the late author Anne Rice, the novel was Rice's debut novel and a critical success — uniquely recounting vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac telling the story of his life to a reporter.

This show only adds to AMC's impressive catalog, like Better Call Saul, which is currently airing its final season, and new shows like a new The Walking Dead spin-off show starring Andrew Lincoln's Rick Grimes and Danai Gurira's Michonne.

Jordan Peele's third written and directed film Nope is projected to net a total box office opening of $44.5 million dollars, making it his third consecutive film to debut at the very top of the domestic box office, albeit at a lower stance than 2019's Us, Variety reports.

But even that doesn't make Nope a film to scoff at, as it still performed better than Peele's debut film, Get Out, which opened with $33.7 million. Plus, Nope is still a hit — coming in strong with a $6.4 million performance with Thursday's previews.

Early projections expected Nope to make between $45 million to $60 million in its opening weekend. It's coming in just slightly under those estimates, with its opening net coming from 3,785 theaters.

Us, the 2019 psychological horror film starring Lupita Nyong'o, managed to open strong, earning $71.1 million in its opening weekend; both Us and Get Out ended up totaling $255 million at the box office, a milestone still possible for Nope, given its stellar reviews and Rotten Tomatoes score of 82%.

Starring Daniel Kaluuya, Keke Palmer, and Steven Yeun, Nope is a science fiction horror film by writer, director Jordan Peele, and it follows a group of caretakers at a California horse ranch who are pushed to the brink of survival when they encounter a mysterious alien force that affects human and animal behavior.

You can check out IGN's review of Nope linked above (which we called a "bleak, hilarious sci-fi-horror romp, and one of the most entertaining summer movies in years.") and also watch this hilarious interview, in which Jordan Peele reveals how he gave the cast of Nope a horror film quiz.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' second season will feature a major crossover episode with Star Trek: Lower Decks that will mix the worlds of live-action and animation.

Paramount+ announced the news during the Star Trek Universe panel at San Diego Comic-Con and Strange New Worlds' star Anson Mount, who plays Captain Christopher Pike, revealed that Tawny Newsome's Ensign Beckett Mariner and Jack Quaid's Ensign Brad Boimler will join the U.S.S. Enterprise in this special episode.

Furthermore, Star Trek: The Next Generation actor and director Jonathan Frakes, who player Commander William Riker, will be directing the episode for a third Star Trek series connection.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds co-showrunner Henry Alonso Myers talked about how this unexpected crossover came to be and how the stars really did align to make it so.

"All of us are huge Lower Decks fans on the Strange New Worlds writing staff," Alonso Myers said. "One of our writers is also a writer on The Boys and had the idea for a crossover and we thought it would be great if we could get even more people to come on. The crazy thing is that we had a whole discussion about it and then Alex [Kurtzman] called us and said, out of nowhere and coincidently, “hey, you guys should do a crossover with Lower Decks,” and I was like, “Have I got good news for you!"

Alongside the Lower Decks crossover, the Gorn look to be a big part of Strange New Worlds future, and not in a great way for our crew.

"I think early on, when Akiva and I were breaking the pilot, we wanted the Gorn to be the big bad of the series; The idea of what we could to do with the Gorn now, with the technology, stretching them over the season as the big bad, it’s the exciting," executive producer Alex Kurtzman said. "It’s still episodic, but they’re there. It’s not going to be the only time you see the Gorn.”

Paul Wesley was also in attendance at Star Trek Universe, and on his birthday no less, and he talked about brining Captain James T. Kirk to life.

“We only saw Kirk for a handful of scenes in the finale and that was a particularly intense episode and when you go back and watch the original episode, 'Balance of Terror,' Kirk is quite intense in that episode so I look forward to fans seeing a different Kirk," Wesley said. "Certainly not a different timeline Kirk but one who is a bit lighter. As a lieutenant on the Farragut. Still finding his way. There’s more levity. It's an exciting season. So I’m looking forward to everyone seeing that."

Oh, and the team behind Strange New Worlds surprised Wesley with a Kirk cake for his birthday and it's just wonderful.

The first season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds recently came to a close and we gave it a rare 10/10. In our review, we said, "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ first season manages to recapture the joy of classic Trek in a way that perhaps many of us didn’t know was missing until we experienced this show."

The news of this crossover was accompanied by a teaser and posters for Star Trek: Picard's third season that shows the return of the crew of The Next Generation and a trailer for Lower Decks' third season that teases a visit to Deep Space 9.

While Deep Space 9 was only shown for a moment at the end, the trailer also features Beckett Mariner, D'Vana Tendi, Bradward Boimler, and Samanthan Rutherford at Sisko's Creole Kitchen, the New Orleans restaurant that was owned by Captain Benjamin Sisko's father Joseph.

Star Trek: Lower Decks creator and showrunner Mike McMahan stopped by the Star Trek Universe panel to give fans a few more details on this trip to Depp Space 9.

"Yes, on Lower Decks, we circle Deep Space 9 and we count the pylons," McMahan said. "Then we go into Deep Space 9 and enjoy the Kardassian architecture. And you might see some friendly faces in there. It feels to me like one last walk around Deep Space 9. I can’t wait for you guys to see it."

These four crew members were also featured in the character posters revealed during the panel, and you can check them out in the gallery below.

In our review of the first five episodes of the second season of Star Trek: Lower Decks, we said that it "continues that balanced groove with even more confidence in mixing comedy with away mission hijinks and character progression."

The Star Trek Universe Panel was full of other news, including a teaser and posters for Star Trek: Picard's third season that shows the return of the crew of The Next Generation and a live-action and animated crossover of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks
