So we’re gonna get a tv show??? when?

It’s actually “a vision for a trilogy of Vampire Chronicles films” and possibly “a spinoff television series to explore all the side characters and their back stories.”

@firelight-fading linked us to an article w/ the director Josh Boone a month ago about it, here’s the piece you’re asking about:

Personally, I’m willing to wait for quality. We’ve waited this long, we can wait a little longer. I know we all have mixed feelings on this, since our epic betrayal w/ QOTD (but even then some ppl do enjoy that movie, surprisingly) but let’s try to be cautiously optimistic *u*

And BY THE WAY, just bc the cover of the script had “Interview with the Vampire” as the title for this project, that doesn’t mean he’s redoing that movie exactly. 

I think we’ll be getting the Interview with the Vampire Lestat, this time around.

Boone has to incorporate at least some of Louis’ story, and then get the ending back on canon track, bc movie!IWTV ended w/ Lestat and Daniel driving off into the sunrise*. Lestat was basically giving Daniel the choice to join him.

Keep an eye on my #VC News tag, that’s where I keep updates on this.

*If that ship (Lestat/Daniel) were to sail, then alot of canon after that would have to be reworked. 

Found your VC casting list when musing about one of my own. What do you think about Gillian Anderson as Gabrielle?

I think she’s frickin’ gorgeous is what I think about Gillian Anderson.

Physically, I am pretty attached to Cate Blanchett, Charlize Theron, Michelle Pfeiffer… especially the latter two in terms of their kittenish features. They could all potentially kill it, acting-wise. They’re all about the right age to play the role, as is Gillian. Yes, the Dark Gift makes you younger-lookin’, but I’d still want someone who was closer to the right age at the beginning, anyway, to help combat ageism in Hollywood! And to be more true to the story.

Factoring performance in, I think Gillian would be great, too. For one thing, she could beat Brad Pitt right into the ground with her eye-rolling skills alone (he does so much of that in IWTV!), the art of which she had perfected 20+ years ago.

^“He’s behind me making that fucking face again. I don’t even have to turn around to know it. God damn it. I hate that goddamned stupid face he makes. God fucking damnit.” (Gabrielle re: Lestat, too.)

^Looks amazeballs in a suit, too. Gabrielle prefers menswear 😉 Lestat made her wear the shoes, the only compromise in this outfit.

image

^Gabrielle’s most frequently used phrase, in one of many variations.

^Pretty sure this was a scripted line, but I bet Gillian would agree. The role of Gabrielle would probably be very appealing to Gillian.

Hello ! First, I just want to say I absolutely love your blog. It’s amazing, I’m so glad we have you to keep the fandom alive ! What brings me here is this: I just started watching a series called Versailles (about Louis XIV’s reign) and I swear I cannot see a single scene with the guy that plays the King’s brother (Alexander Vlahos) without thinking he would make a perfect Louis. Everything matches: the depressive mood, the gayness, and his looks too ! Can I ask you your opinion ? La bise <3

Awwww thank u so much, always good to hear I’m doing well w/ this thing ;u; I’ll keep up more of the same, then!

image

I haven’t watched Versailles, but I have heard of it and seen bits on tumblr, and as a side note: you might be interested in this Philippe RPer: @frerenuage. And the Chevalier is RP’d by @chxvaliers.

He’s not 100% my headcanon but Alexander Vlahos – wow. So pretty.

image

And look, he’s doing that little demure thing that Louis does when he’s trying not to be judgmental, better to just say, “I see…” and speak w/ his glare:

image

This looks familiar: not the outfit and hairdo so much as the facial expression and subtitle, w/ a pleased af Lestat front and center “YISS I DRAGGED HIM HERE KICKING AND SCREAMING! I AM AMAZE MYSELF

image

This is also familiar, bc Louis is in fact a BAMF and he will smack a bitch:

What does Lestat feel towards Armand?

They’re Murder Brothers! It’s so complicated.

MOSTLY tho, surprisingly, their innate curiosity and respect for each other outweighs all the horrible shit they’ve put each other through. Which has been ALOT. Lestat destroyed Armand’s coven dictatorship by being his usual ray of obnoxious sunshine The New and Improved Parisian Vampire 2.0; Armand did help orchestrate the death of one of Lestat’s fledglings and maybe tortured her, too??? before manipulating another of his fledglings into a 100 yr relationship… there’s more than that, but those are big ones.

They seem to be over it all, they’ve made a kind of peace, but they have that contentious kind of rivalry and competition that brothers have.

AR was doing this Fan Questions for Lestat thing awhile back, and Lestat spoke directly about his feelings towards Armand, and I think “he” put it very well:

“Armand’s thoughts are almost impossible for me to penetrate, and his boyish countenance often reveals nothing of his true calculations and feelings. I love him and I respect him — and I know that he loves me — but I never for a moment imagine I’m entirely safe with him.” [X]

And: “I love Armand deeply. My view of Armand has evolved over time. The less I fear him, the more I love him. And the more I suffer, the more I come to understand Armand’s suffering. I have never doubted Armand’s love for me. We are kith and kin, Armand and me.” [X]

I think you have to consider how Armand feels towards Lestat, too.

“I hate him only because I cannot imagine my soul without him.” – Armand about Lestat, The Vampire Armand, [X]
