Tagging (required to tag 10 and Iâm just gonna go right the frick over that):
@i-want-my-iwtv Thought you and the rest of the fandom might want to see this, about 4/5 down from the new interview! Director Josh Boone basically just confirmed himself (instead of the other source I had earlier) that the new film WILL be an adaption of The Vampire Lestat, but will have tiny bits of influence from other books (Iâm assuming he means IWTV and QTD). He also said heâs aiming for a trilogy AND a spin-off tv series! Super exciting!
Your synopsis was gr9, but I must have it from his own words (my highlights):
I trust this man. Why? It appear that heâs not rushing into it to make the $$$, heâs doing it bc he respects and has affection for the source material, dating back from his youth. âThese were hugely inspiring books when I was young. They really helped shape me the same way [Stephen King]âs books did.â
He is totally in the VC fandom, an honorary member. He just may not know it yet ;]
LOOKIT THE WAY HE TAGGED UP THE STAND TO PREP IT FOR ADAPTATION THAT IS SOME SERIOUS FAN LOVINâ [X]
^Heâs gonna take care of us similarly â€Â
Reasons (in no particular order) why I trust Josh Boone w/ this adaptation, from his IG account:
Hit the jump.
^Mentions the VC in his IG caption. It would appear that heâs honored to be part of it! Also he shares his icon pic w/ Stephen King, and really, Stephen King is also one of my faves for his amazing storytelling abilities, I mean, I just donât even have words for what he does, but he seems to come from a similar place that AR did, they were both steeped in the horror media of their youth and he alchemizes through his own unique filter and GOLD COMES OUT. A different flavor of gold than ARâs, for sure, but they are comparable.Â
^He collects the old industry magazines, old publicity from the time period. He keeps himself updated on horror movie FX and topics so heâs not just gonna give us some shitty 90âČs eye makeup, slap on a pair of fangs and a wierd accent and expect us to swoon. LIKE SOME MOVIES HAVE DONE.
 ^Like seriously he takes care of his books, and he has the nice hardcover editions.Â
Daddy/daughter sci fi movie night too cute. TOO CUTE. E.T. is worth 50+ viewings, absolutely.
Gonna restrain myself from suggesting he cast his adorable daughter as Claudia. But if he wanted to do it, I would certainly not stand in his way.
Have you ever seen brown eyes in the sun? You donât always notice it at first but youâll see that âbrownâ no longer describes them. They melt into golden rays, circling an eclipse. Thereâs nothing boring about brown eyes, not even when the later hours encroach; they just turn into a sunset of their own.Â
YEP was very amusing, even as an unintentional reference. This scene was SO Louis/Lestat. I bet you all know who would be whoâŠ
^Thorâs was good, but Lestatâs âShut up!â is better. To be fair, Thor hasnât been pushed far enough in that scene for that level of reaction yet.
Would have liked Lestat to try more of Thor’s physical kind of silencing, tho sorry this was the best gif of this I could find and I searched for AGES but there are better ones out there Iâm sure:
Bonus: Outtake from that Thor scene where he is also being rather Lestatuesque:
PRESS IT GENTLY, THOR. (âŻÂ°A°ïŒâŻïž” â»ââ»
Well for a little appetizer, Stingâs âMoon Over Bourbon St.â was inspired by IWTV! Itâs from Louisâ POV.
And of course thereâs âArsonistâs Lullabyâ by Hozier, which reminds me of Louis who kinda has a thing for fireâŠ
âSomeone edited R.E.M.âs âLosing My Religionâ to be in major instead of minor and it is absurd.â [X]Â Very much reminds me of Lestat! Give it a listen, be patient w/ it, itâs worth the effort!
I have so many VC feels w/ music, can you be more specific? You might find what youâre looking for here:
Music Lestat motorcycles to – Music and music-related things he loves, pics that he might have taken on long rides (like this one), some of which donât have lyrics that are specifically Lestatuesque, but he gets smtg out of them, whether it be the beats, melodies, singerâs voices, etc.
VC Fanmix – fanmixes others have done for certain ships or characters (or mixes that seemed VC-adjacent to me).
I learned early on about the sanctity of thought. You may be in an abusive environment where you either cannot or will not speak your mind, but you can think whatever you want to think, and no one can hear those thoughts but you. Thatâs your personality in there. Thatâs you in there. You may feel small and stifled, tense and silent, but the core of what makes you you is still there. You canât let it out right now, but you can hear and and feel it. Itâs still there and once the environment changes, it will sing aloud again.
Youâre safely tucked away inside yourself. Give it timeâsoon, youâll be able to stretch your legs again.
