00:00Come with us as we film an internal rock star.
00:02Hey, it's Kristen.
00:03And I'm Allison.
00:04And we're at the iconic Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn, New York
00:07to shoot a huge, mega-famous rock star.
00:10Come with us to find out who we're shooting today.
00:12Seriously, we gotta get out of the sun.
00:15Yes?
00:16May we enter?
00:18Sure.
00:19Thanks, Peter.
00:20You're welcome.
00:21Have you guessed who it is yet?
00:24Hi!
00:26He's gentleman death in silk and lace come to put out the candles.
00:30The canker in the heart of the rose.
00:32If you haven't already guessed, it's the vampire Lestet.
00:35Action!
00:37He set out to create a God-tier rock icon moment.
00:40Part vampire messiah, part fever dream fandom.
00:43The idea of worship and obsession was the starting point for this cover.
00:46On set, we got to work with our favorite vamps,
00:49Sam Reid, Jacob Anderson, Eric Bogosian, and Jennifer Ely.
00:52We wanted each actor to have a character-driven scene
00:54within the narrative of the cover,
00:56with Sam serving as the entrancing through-line.
00:59Eric leaned into Danny's documentarian nature this season,
01:02while Jennifer channeled Gabriella's naughty mommy vibe.
01:06A first for us, we brought in 20 extras to play adoring fans,
01:09making this the most people we've ever had in a single cover.
01:12Then, uh-oh, what's that?
01:13A sexy hand to the chest and time slows down?
01:16It could only be...
01:18Jacob Anderson.
01:18We worked with our team to create a visual shift
01:20where the lights drop, time slows,
01:22and suddenly it feels like the rest of the world disappears,
01:24just the two of them.
01:25This cover is serving pure steamy tension
01:27for the fans to sink their teeth into.
