It’s so fun to see at least this shot from the other side of the door, lol…
I’ll transcribe it somewhat for y’all:
The narrator is all about the *~secrecy~* like of course Tom Cruise wanted to keep the secrecy of his costumes and makeup and whatever, so as not to spoil the surprise! We have closed sets all the time these days and back then. I don’t think that was just Tom, I think everyone involved in making the movie wanted that secrecy.
The narrator pronounces his name the way AR prefers, not the way it’s pronounced in the movie
I FEEL YOU 1,000% I think Tom had the rights to TOBT so he could star in it, even tho that’s the bodyswap episode at best, and all this other soggy mess at worst… I think the 90′s audience and reviewers being all IWTV was “TOO GAY”/”NOT GAY ENOUGH” really soured him on the whole series, but he has always kept Lestat in his heart ❤ (Brad, not so much)
I would love it if Tom were consulted on his opinion re: casting, and then when they do cast a Lestat, Tom could train/advise him personally. BC PLENTY OF PPL WHO NORMALLY DISLIKE TC ADMITTED THAT THEY LIKED HIM IN THAT ROLE.
Brad’s advice to the new Louis would probs be “You’re going to be miserable, just don’t hold back with that… You do get like 2 scenes to take out your aggression when you get all fiery so take full advantage of that.”
My not-so-secret casting fantasy would be to have Tom back to play the Marquis. LIKE HOW PERF WOULD THAT BE?? He’s old enough for it… more villain roles for TC! *bangs fist on table*
“To me Tom and Brad were normal. I didn’t treated them like super stars, but I thought:” I’m an actor too". I didn’t feel inferior to them and that was good. As Claudia I had to have that power… They were so sweet. They treated me like a Princess. They were super protective and nice with me. Tom was lovely. He put a Christmas tree in my bedroom and CD players and video games, and he always made sure that I wasn’t scared in every scene we filmed. He spoiled me. They both did.“
I keep waiting for a gay vampire movie but then i remember Interview with a Vampire happened and literally it cannot get any more homoerotic camp than Brad Pitt being all “omfg I’m reborn as a denizen of hell” while Tom Cruise basically serenades him with the music of the night
♛Of course you’re a huge fan of mine, how could you not be? *smiles*
Fangs do give mortals a noticeable confidence boost; every version of myself I see on the streets of New Orleans is just oozing with it. Even those masquerading in cosplay as Armand or Louis take pleasure in flaunting their fangs.
The only fangs I “make” are the ones grown naturally by my fledglings or the one custom pair that I discussed previously, which were realistic in shape but not material. Take note, I actually have six upper fangs. I don’t know why. Something to do with our appetites, perhaps. That’s all the advice I have on that.
//ooc; so Lestat obviously can’t really take a picture for you! But here’s a pic of Brad trying on fangs for IWTV. More angles here [X]. They did two sets in IWTV, these are the “attack” or “wide-shot” fangs, longer than the normal ones so that they’re visible from a distance.
Claudia’s here are shorter, possibly bc she was a child, but also bc Michele Burke was going for a vampire makeup in which at first the vampires looked like normal people, but w/ something slightly *off,* that they could conceal the fangs when speaking, passing for normal people, or reveal them if they chose to do so.
what is my life that I’m drawing whiskers on a pic of Brad Pitt from 1992 or ‘93 and indicating which of his teeth would be fangs OH WELL
^Basically you want the fangs to be long enough to be visible but not interfere when you close your mouth, so they’re really more draping along the outside of the lower teeth. To get that canine point looking sharp, curving it back like a snake’s makes sense.
The IWTV fangs also involve the lateral incisor, the tooth between the front and the canine, and here it’s also kind of pointed backwards here but I think Tom’s was done straighter. It also looks like Tom had the first premolars as fangs, too, but I’m not sure. Doing the lower canine is a thing other vampire media does, often. I’m not sure if they did that for IWTV. I don’t think so since this post has Brad’s fangs for sale on eBay and it’s only the upper teeth.
I imagine straight or curved, having one or two neighboring fangs would be beneficial for gripping a struggling victim’s flesh, sharing the strain put on the canines.
