Armie Hammer for Lestat de Lioncourt

@queenofthesavagegarden reminded me that I had considered him ages ago and now I want to bring him up again bc I think he’s got gr9 potential. I screencapped the above gifset bc I didn’t want to tack all these gifs below onto someone else’s post, but I included the source, so you can reblog that gifset from there 😉

Consider the following also [from this quality gif hunt right here]

neon-taco submitted: Boyd Holbrook was my Lestat visual. what do you think?


@i-want-my-iwtv replies: Oh I saw him in the Skeleton Twins! He was a hot scuba instructor w/ an accent. Australian, I think. He was good stuff. I haven’t seen him in anything else and I do need to.

I think he’s close enough in appearance. The pics you shared are from his former modeling days and he seems to have grown past the slightly feminine look he had in those shots, but I found some more anyway. 

They should doll him back up like this bc YUM ;]

^Yes and Yes

Emil Andersson for Lestat de Lioncourt [X][X]

OK so I looked up this model bc of @yoonona‘s aesthetic post, and wow. Especially the first pic. With the right lighting, yep, angelic! I’m not 100% selling him for this, but just throwing the idea out there.

Emil is physically stunning and probably closer to more ppl’s headcanon for Lestat than some recent casting suggestions have offered us. Modeling does require some level of acting, and he definitely has talent, I especially love his seriousness in the bottom right pic in an outfit that… while he sells it very well… would probably look laughable on most of us mere mortals! 

Acting though, we need to see him in motion with more than the variations of pouty expression above. Lestat has a huge sense of humor with a lot of ways of expressing it. I found ONE pic of Emil smiling, and idk, I need more: [X]

Found just one gif of him in motion, below the cut bc it gets really repetitive!

I normally don’t support casting models for VC characters bc there’s more to our characters than being JUST beautiful, even though they are described as angelic and devastatingly attractive. Part of what drew me to them was that they feel grounded in reality somehow, and their beauty comes more from their personalities, that’s part of why they were chosen to vampire by their makers.

In some cases, though, they really are that beautiful, and Lestat was chosen both for his physical characteristics AND his personality.

@aafmun​ submitted:

I found an article with Jared Leto being the new Lestat. I think every Vampire Chronicles fan is dying of excitement right now X)


@i-want-my-iwtv replies: Thanks for finding this, @aafmun​! 

[[BTW if you guys don’t want to see this in your dash, I tag articles like these as #VC news.]]

The fandom is currently dying of excitement or misery or something inbetween! It’s only been ONE DAY since Josh Boone tweeted that pic of Jared Leto with the caption “Lestat – there can be only one.” and I’ve already seen tons of support and tons of hate for this possible casting choice.

Let underscore that.

this possible casting choice.

From the article: “Well, he may very well have his next role already lined-up, as the new vampire Lestat.” 

“Not only did Boone reveal the upcoming film, he Tweeted a photo of Leto with the caption “Lestat – there can only be one. #JaredLeto .” Leto will be starring in the role originally played by Tom Cruise in the 1994 classic.”

^Despite the last line thrown in there by the author, who has not provided any other evidence than the tweet, we don’t know if it’s official yet. @cloudsinvenice​ informs us that the pic is NOT Josh Boone playing dressup with Leto to make him into their version of Lestat; it was from Leto’s instagram, March 2015:

NOW, if I was Josh Boone, I wouldn’t tweet something like that with such a bold statement unless:

  • A. I had already been talking w/ Leto about it and he was interested, or
  • B. I wanted to get Leto’s attention on the project and see if he was into it. 

EITHER WAY… Let’s all be cautiously optimistic. I’m not saying I’m 100% convinced yet but Leto has alot going for him:

  • He is currently very hot and he doesn’t age. 
  • He is an actual rockstar and has all the singing and stage presence that goes with that.
  • Did you see him in Alexander?? Is this not what happened? He’s willing and able to bring the sensuality to the role that we could never have before *u*

IWTV thoughts

murdereratthematinee:

Ok but Claudia called Armand Louis’ “companion” and it’s p obvious that Armand wants to fuck Louis and then she asks for Madeline as a “companion” and this is probably a gross thought cause Madeline is like “I want a daughter who can’t die” and Claudia is (in appearance) a child but could she be a lesbian?

I know she pines after an adult body but could it be more than that? Could she want a woman to sleep with?

This is a fascinating idea and I have thought about it myself quite a bit. 

Possibly a very unpopular opinion but: I don’t think they were sexual w/ each other in the mortal sense, but there was more to them than a mother-daughter relationship.

[X From Claudia’s Story]

I don’t think Claudia’s pursuit of Madeleine was purely for a platonic mother-daughter relationship. That may have been part of it, and it was how she sold it to Louis because he couldn’t perceive Claudia as more than his daughter or as an adult trapped in a little body who would be capable of being involved in a romantic way with anyone, and she needed him to actually do the work for her since she was unable to perform the Dark Gift herself (and I do think she tried before asking him).  

While it may not have been a relationship in a more conventionally romantic sense (I don’t believe they had anything sexual, in the mortal sense, going on), I do think Claudia/Madeleine was a ship of sorts, more of an emotional relationship. Claudia was the one in control, she was comparatively older and stronger in personality.
