“The Vampire Lestat” Drops First Official Rock Single “Long Face”

THE VAMPIRE LESTAT DROPS FIRST OFFICIAL ROCK SINGLE “LONG FACE”

PERFORMED BY THE WORLD’S FIRST IMMORTAL ROCK STAR 

AMC NETWORKS AND LAKESHORE RECORDS RELEASE SINGLE ON ALL DIGITAL PLATFORMS 

Original Music and Lyrics by Series Composer Daniel Hart  

The Vampire Lestat Returns this Summer on AMC and AMC+ 

LISTEN NOW 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – February 13, 2026: The first official rock single, “Long Face,” performed by the world’s first immortal rockstar, Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid), dropped today ahead of the premiere of The Vampire Lestat. AMC Networks and Lakeshore Records have released the single on the newly launched Vampire Lestat artist profile pages at major digital music services, including Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music, with additional songs to be released in the coming months. The song’s original music and lyrics, by series’ composer Daniel Hart and performed by Reid, will be featured in The Vampire Lestat premiering this summer on AMC and AMC+.

In the new rock and roll centric season, the Vampire Lestat goes on an electric multi-city tour while being haunted by “muses” from his wild and rebellious past. As his band’s popularity and star power rises, so does Lestat’s influence over vampires and humans alike, leaving others to contend with Lestat’s power in the face of the Great Conversion, an unnatural surge in the vampire population. In addition to Reid, The Vampire Lestat stars Jacob Anderson, Assad Zaman, Eric Bogosian, Delainey Hayles and Jennifer Ehle and is executive produced by award-winning producer Mark Johnson, creator, writer and showrunner Rolin Jones, Hannah Moscovitch, along with Christopher Rice and the late Anne Rice.

Said Daniel Hart: “Long Face is the first song I wrote for The Vampire Lestat. We decided early on to make David Bowie a big influence for Lestat’s musical style and persona, and there’s certainly some Ziggy Stardust in this song. But we chose Bowie not only for his glam era, but because he was a chameleon. Expect Lestat to change his musical colors throughout the season as well, as he discovers how to remain true to himself, and how to express that truth on stage every night.”

Said the Vampire Lestat: “Long Face is the first song Daniel Hart ‘produced’ for my album.  He decided early on to steal where he could from Bowie because he hasn’t had an original idea for five years now (is that his Green Knight score fading in the rear view?) As for Long Face, the bass should have walked down with the guitar at the end instead of pedaling on E. Predictable. Like everything Daniel Hart touches.”

ABOUT DANIEL HART

Daniel Hart is a composer and performer based in Los Angeles. Hart made his feature film debut in 2013 with the critically acclaimed Ain’t Them Bodies Saints, which began his collaboration with filmmaker David Lowery. Hart has composed the music for all of Lowery’s films, including The Green Knight, Pete’s Dragon, A Ghost Story, Old Man and The Gun, and the upcoming Mother Mary. Over the past decade, he has also scored multiple TV shows, from Fox’s The Exorcist, to SMILF, to SUNNY. He has written music for This American Life, and composed the score for S Town, one of the most popular podcasts of all time.

Hart and showrunner Rolin Jones have been collaborating on Interview with the Vampire since 2021. The Vampire Lestat puts Hart’s music front and center: he and Jones worked side by side in the writer’s room this year, with Hart co-writing one of the episodes, and writing over twenty songs for the Vampire Lestat to sing. Hart’s musical career started on the road, as a hired gun for bands such as St. Vincent, Broken Social Scene, Other Lives, and The Polyphonic Spree. He has also fronted his own band, Dark Rooms, since 2013. The new season brings Daniel Hart back to those rock’n’roll roots, both as a songwriter, and as the Musical Director for the onscreen band which Lestat fronts.

Description of Non-GAAP Measures

Internally, the Company uses Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) and Free Cash Flow measures as the most important indicators of its business performance and evaluates management’s effectiveness with specific reference to these indicators.

The Company defines Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as operating income (loss) before share-based compensation expense or benefit, depreciation and amortization, impairment and other charges (including gains or losses on sales or dispositions of businesses), restructuring and other related charges, cloud computing amortization, and including the Company’s proportionate share of adjusted operating income (loss) from majority-owned equity method investees. From time to time, the Company may exclude the impact of certain events, gains, losses, or other charges (such as significant legal settlements) from Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) that affect the Company’s operating performance. Because it is based upon operating income (loss), Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) also excludes interest expense (including cash interest expense) and other non-operating income and expense items. The Company believes that the exclusion of share-based compensation expense or benefit allows investors to better track the performance of the various operating units of the business without regard to the effect of the settlement of an obligation that is not expected to be made in cash.

The Company believes that Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of the business segments and the Company on a consolidated basis. Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) and similar measures with similar titles are common performance measures used by investors, analysts, and peers to compare performance in the industry.

Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) should be viewed as a supplement to and not a substitute for operating income (loss), net income (loss), and other measures of performance presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Since Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, this measure may not be comparable to similar measures with similar titles used by other companies. For a reconciliation of  operating income (loss) to Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), please see page 11 of this release.

The Company defines Free Cash Flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, all of which are reported in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The Company believes the most comparable GAAP financial measure of its liquidity is net cash provided by operating activities. The Company believes that Free Cash Flow is useful as an indicator of its overall liquidity, as the amount of Free Cash Flow generated in any period is representative of cash that is available for debt repayment, investment, and other discretionary and non-discretionary cash uses. The Company also believes that Free Cash Flow is one of several benchmarks used by analysts and investors who follow the industry for comparison of its liquidity with other companies in the industry, although the Company’s measure of Free Cash Flow may not be directly comparable to similar measures reported by other companies. For a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to Free Cash Flow, please see page 11 of this release.

The Company defines Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share (“Adjusted EPS”), which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as earnings per diluted share excluding the following items: amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets; impairment and other charges (including gains or losses on sales or dispositions of businesses); non-cash impairments of goodwill, intangible and fixed assets; restructuring and other related charges; and the impact associated with the modification of debt arrangements, including gains and losses related to the extinguishment of debt; as well as the impact of taxes on the aforementioned items and other one-time tax charges/benefits. The Company believes the most comparable GAAP financial measure is earnings per diluted share. The Company believes that Adjusted EPS is one of several benchmarks used by analysts and investors who follow the industry for comparison of its performance with other companies in the industry, although the Company’s measure of Adjusted EPS may not be directly comparable to similar measures reported by other companies. For a reconciliation of earnings per diluted share to Adjusted EPS, please see pages 12-13 of this release.

HOUSTON, TX — FEBRUARY 11, 2026 — Following its wildly successful 30th anniversary theatrical release, AMC Networks’ Sentai is excited to reveal the 4K adaptation of Ninja Scroll, the critically acclaimed drama film set in the age of samurai during the Edo period of feudal Japan. Originally released in 1993, Ninja Scroll (Jubei Ninpucho in Japanese) was written and directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri, and is now considered a truly seminal work in anime filmmaking. In Summer 2024, Sentai together with HIDIVE released Ninja Scroll in over 500 theaters across the U.S. in partnership with Iconic Events Releasing as part of its AX Cinema Nights series. Spearheaded and produced by Sentai under the supervision of Director Yoshiaki Kawajiri, the digital adaptation of Ninja Scroll was a painstaking restoration and remastering of the movie — a meticulous process that involved a 4K scan (3840 × 2160 pixels) of the original 35mm negative, then repairing any damage and lastly performing color correction to create an archival quality digital master of the film.   

“We’re both thrilled and humbled to be able to preserve the original 1993 Ninja Scroll film as a modern digital movie. This is Ninja Scroll at its very best!,” said John Ledford, President of Sentai. “Ninja Scroll in 4K is nothing short of a pristine version of this cinematic masterpiece, presented in stunning high definition, contrast and color. The digital adaptation offers a truly immersive experience. In fact, seeing it is like watching Ninja Scroll for the very first time!” 

The world premiere of Ninja Scroll will take place on Sunday, February 15 at 10:00 pm CET during Berlinale, the 76th Berlin International Film Festival, followed by encore screenings on February 16 & 22. The movie is one of ten works from nine different countries and the first-ever anime film featured as part of the Berlinale Classics section of the festival’s program. For more information about the Ninja Scroll screening, click here. 

Outside of Berlinale, fans will have their first chance to watch the 4K version of Ninja Scroll when Sentai releases the film as a limited edition Blu-ray Steel Book in 4K UHD in early 2027. 

Official Synopsis
When Jubei saves a young ninja woman from the unthinkable, he assumes that’s the end of it. To his surprise, it’s only just the beginning. Together, the two investigate the mysterious deaths of an entire village which uncovers a conspiracy of demonic proportions! Getting closer to the truth, the demonic forces will stop at nothing to silence Jubei and his companion for good!
