Anne Rice Immortal Universe at San Diego Comic-Con

​On Wednesday, July 19, AMC Networks kicked off San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) with a special preview night of a new Anne Rice Immortal Universe fan experience and activation.

The Hilton Gaslamp Terrace was transformed into “The Street of Immortality,” a New Orleans-inspired immersive experience. It features several photo and video opportunities along the route, including iconic locations from Interview with the Vampire such as Hotel Iberville and Nawlins Records.

Attendees can tour the street, collect exclusive souvenirs and premiums, and enjoy “The Elixir of Immortality,” a limited-edition mocktail presented by POM Wonderful.

The activation is free and for all ages. It will be open to the public on Thursday, July 20, Friday, July 21, and Saturday, July 22 from 11:00am – 7:00pm PT.

San Diego Comic Con 2023

Held annually in San Diego, CA, San Diego Comic-Con celebrates comic books, movies, television, and other forms of pop culture. SDCC is the largest convention of its kind in the world, and it attracts over 130,000 people each year.

This article was written for San Diego Comic Con during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the series being covered here wouldn’t exist. We are deeply saddened by the fact that they could not be here to celebrate the work they create and we fully support their right to be paid fairly and to have their work protected.

The livelihoods of working-class SAG-AFTRA and WGA members are in jeopardy. This is due to the fact that the AMPTP refuses to offer a fair deal to creatives who work in television, theatrical, and streaming work. The AMPTP needs to negotiate a deal so that actors and writers can be paid fairly.
