replied to your post “I don’t like the idea of Jared Leto as Lestat, he’s too old for it…”

HARRY LLOYD IS NOW MY IDEAL LESTAT

IKR? Now I REALLY have to start watching GoT don’t I. 

Lloyd is quality Lestat material. From this:

^(in seductive voice) “I’m going to give you the choice -I- never had.”~*~*~*

To this:

^Lestat would also really prefer to be treated like the royalty he is.

I don’t like the idea of Jared Leto as Lestat, he’s too old for it really, what’s your opinion and what would your ideal cast be? My dream cast would be Harry Lloyd as Lestat and Mads Mikkelsen as Marius, Kit Harrington and Ben Barnes as Nikki and Louis. I always imagine Tilda Swinton when I picture Gabrielle. Not sure who’d make a good Armand though

My ideal cast is right heeeeere check it out… I did that fairly recently, just edited it a little tonight. (You can also check out my #vc casting tag for moar opinions on this. I need a real Navigation page it’s in the works I promise!)

As for YOUR ideas, I’m only giving them a little consideration each to keep the post concise 😉 but I think it helps, when there’s a chunk of suggestions, to see them all heaped up together as a group, bc they WILL be meshing and bouncing off each other, like ingredients in a recipe. 

Harry Lloyd as Lestat: You have my vote, lookit this cutie and this smile and just *flails* I don’t watch GoT so I can’t say for sure but from the gifs I’ve seen, he has the right physical appearance to satisfy my headcanon, and he has this brightness and optimism. He seems like he could also slay 8 wolves by himself.

Mads Mikkelsen as Marius: I have trouble visualizing this choice, bc I’ve just binged a TON of Hannibal, but he is pretty fantastic so why not consider him? Also loved him in Casino Royale but that was a very non-Marius role. Physically, I’m kind of leaning towards my own choices for Marius, in my post above.

^One thing more, tho, is that Marius is very paternal and I think MM gives off a great, strong, paternal vibe.

Tilda Swinton as Gabrielle: Well, maybe! She already played a vampire, not sure that she’d be willing to play another. She was amazing in Only Lovers Left Alive. She is very skinny, tho. [X] I think a Swinton!Gabrielle would blend well with a Lloyd!Lestat.

Hit the jump for 2 moar.


Kit Harrington as Nicki: I got an Anon about this, and at the time I searched AR’s FB page re: “someone suggested Kit Harrington as Nicolas to Anne and she loved the idea,” and didn’t find it 😛 Has anyone else seen that? I know she’s a big GoT fan, but idk about Kit playing Nicolas. Kinda big, isn’t he? Maybe he’s just buff for GoT. I picture Nicolas as more slender. But KH is apparently a very good actor, and I do also approve of him shirtless so let’s get him a job somehow…

Ben Barnes as Louis: I got an Anon about him for Louis, and appearance-wise, they are similar. And looking at my comments on that post, I still think he’d be a better Nicolas, he has this sass about him. Louis’ sass is kind of understated, Nicolas’ sass is as big and bold as a slap to the face.
