uzusanageyama:

i have spent several days thinking about how my ideal piece of vampire chronicles media is not like, an actual well-done adaptation, but rather a mockumentary about satans nights out/the vampire lestat (in-universe band) because they are…. a southern glam rock band w a vampire theme who got rly famous for like 6 months in 1984, consisting of three stoner hair metal kids from new orleans and one (1) actual, real-life vampire who wants to make a music-video-per-song highly elaborate concept album about his life in a bid to, among other things, get his vampire ex boyfriends attention? and that sounds like perfect band mockumentary setup, to me

I don’t know how many of the VC actively play video games or remember any pc games from the early to late 90s but the was a video game thriller-horror trilogy know as ‘The Gabriel Knight Mysteries’ which was heralded at its time for being the interactive equivalent of Anne Rice’s novels.

I also do not know how many of the VC fandom actively play video games, I played N64, Sega, old skool Nintendo… I stopped around Super Smash Bros. I never got into Pokemon but I hear the younger VC fandom is very nostalgic about that. 

I have never heard of this

Gabriel Knight Mysteries trilogy… I looked into it and I don’t quiiiite see the VC connection. Can you be more specific?

But yes, I’d love a VC videogame like FUCK YEAH BATTLE RUE ROYALE! I imagine it would be mostly fighting among coven members, not a game with missions, but either would be fine.

The pixellation here makes this look like a video game. Could u imagine a VC videogame??! I’m visualizing a scenario like Super Smash Bros. w/ Lestat vs. Armand… or Louis & Claudia vs.Vagabond European Vampire No. 73….

Also lots of creative murders like the Fire Gift and the Explodey-Heart-Gift on mortals. 

Does anybody else feel like they need a TV series based on Anne Rice’s vampire chronicles?

ooc; An update on the state of things from Anne’s Facebook. I’m excited to hear that Universal seems to actually be moving forward.

oh yeah? A script for the first movie is being wrITTEN NOW? WELL I WILL BELIEVES IT WHEN I SEES THE FRICKIN’ IRIDESCENT BLUE-GRAY-VIOLET EYES STARING OUT AT ME FROM THE TRAILER OF THIS ALLEGED FILM.

You know what would be really great? A Vampire Chronicles TV show

But in chronological order. Like, you start way back with Akasha and Enkil in season 1 and work your way down the timeline and so get to see how all these different stories and characters intertwine over the centuries

Okay but like Brett Scallions for Lestat, and let me tell you that this man can SING, and he has unbelievable stage presence. Also, intensely hot.

I saw him in 1996 (I think?). He was/is the lead singer for Fuel, and they were opening for 3 Doors Down, and he was WAY more of a performer than the entirety of 3DD. He CLIMBED THE SCAFFOLDING TO TAKE A SELFIE WITH SOMEONE ON THE BALCONY. Very #Lestatuesque thing to do.

In the beginning of the show he warned the audience: “I spit alot, I’ll try not to spit on you, but just so you know, first rows are splash zone.” I was further back, near the middle of the audience. For the most part he turned to the side to spit, but occasionally, did spit on the audience. They seemed to like it.
