Some work in progress! Here some samples of the animatic I am working on, I love the song “I’ll never have that chance” which Elton John wrote for the musical of Lestat. If I ever finish it I am going to post it here :3

“Back to Tom: other great moments.
Tom riding his horse through the slaves’ fire, and then turning the horse around so that he could face the suspicious mortals. That was on a par with Errol Flynn and Rudy Valentino. It was on a par with the opera greats who have played Mephistopheles. Only a genuine “star” can make a moment like that, and I’m as confused as to why… just as much as anyone in Hollywood. Let’s close this one out with one word: Grand! (No, can’t stop talking about it.)
If I had to settle for one picture in this film, it would be that shot of Lestat on horseback looking back at the suspicious mortals.
That was and is my hero. That was and is my man. Lestat just won’t be afraid of anybody. He won’t stand for it. He hates what he is as much as Louis, but he cannot do anything but move forward, attempt to make existence worth it, attempt to create. He knows the formula for success, and has no patience with the formula for failure. That’s Lestat.”
FROM ANNE RICE: ON THE FILM, INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE
@i-want-my-iwtv , @kotilae
You two a very rad okay omfg
And i just had to use the zoobe app for this
Dude I am super touched, look @kotilae, this lovely fanged little trash kitten made us a video!
To follow up on the previous anon, do you think Lestat loves Louis?? I certainly do!!!
do you think Louis loves Lestat?
Against his better judgement, yes.
@takemetocoffin-or-losemeforever made this, and IT IS A PERFECT SCREENCAP&TEXTMEME COMBO BC:
– Look at Claudia’s face. She looks like she JUST told them. It had to be said.
– Louis is all *shitshitshit how can i answer her without lying… “I’m only gay for Lestat…” No, that sounds weird… “We’re only gay sometimes…. like for 20 minutes at a time…” No, sometimes it lasts longer… so conflicted… If I wait long enough maybe Lestat will have a better answer.
– Lestat is just standing there growling, not sure if he should be offended or impressed that she figured it out despite his efforts to keep certain things behind closed doors. If I wait long enough maybe Louis will have a better answer.
Sketch this, sketch that…Gosh, me, finish something, why don’t you?
This was a quickie done of Lestat from everyone’s favorite part of that movie. 🙂 I really need to rework this one, but I still want to fix it up and post a finished version.
“I assume I need no introduction.”
This is how you fanart. It doesn’t even need to be colored in. Such a well-captured expression.
@muirin007 this is still awesome. Reblogging this post from 2 yrs ago.
A custom Lestat doll head made by RedLorna [X] for a ball jointed doll customer, (who must have the body, bc there aren’t any pics of it that I can find). One of the best custom Lestat doll faces I’ve seen.
RedLorna:
“Photoshoot Yorick. Doll belongs fox-a .
Thus. Minimi Tom Cruise as Lestat from “Interview with the Vampire.”
My third mejk for minimization. The most difficult and most interesting to me.”
I don’t know if you are the one to ask but do you know if there are any ff of Lestat, Louis (and possibly the rest) reading ff about themselves? Because it would bee too meta and I love meta. Who should I ask if not you?
Ahhh… that is a tough one! They definitely like the fanart of themselves.
[^X Digging up an oldie from the archive which I have tidied up a little for ya and I would just like to mention that the above was screencapped from the ACTUAL TV screen so there is interlacing and whatever I don’t care it adds to the charm, oui/oui? but HEY it motivated me to improve my graphic skills for y’all and I DID]
The only writer that immediately comes to mind is our very own fandom treasure @gairid, who has a Through the 4th Wall, Darkly series which does something in the vein (pun intended hehehe) of what you’re looking for, feels meta. It’s mostly the characters discussing Lestat’s ghostwriter: “Really, Lestat, you need to have a talk with her. It’s getting out of hand. What sort of biographer makes everything up without the slightest regard to the truth?” *giggles*
Gonna open this up to the group and ask anyone to reblog or comment on this post if they know of fic that does this!
Cut for length.
There is another current writer I know of who does more of what you’re looking for on a regular basis BUT she doesn’t post publicly ;A; I will try to nudge her onto AO3 in your honor ;] To be honest, the interaction of the VC characters w/ fanfic of themselves is usually described as their being amused and/or creeped out, as most ppl who find out about RPF of themselves seem to be.
Lestat would be hella flattered and in fact…. he has written really shmoopy fluff of himself and Louis, which he has not-so-subtly tried to get Louis to read. Louis reads it and makes grammatical corrections and hands it back. Secretly, he’s very touched.
Louis loves the fanart but is mildly creeped out by the fandom’s fanfic of himself, partly bc he thinks the writers spend too much time glorifying his appearance, and/or he’s written out of character.
Louis: “Why do they all think I’m sunk in this, this deep depression all the time? I… do things… I go out.”
Lestat: “How much of the evening do you spend outside if I don’t drag you out?”
Louis: “Well, I have to go out to feed.”
Lestat: “And that takes, what, 30 or 40 minutes?”
Louis: “Yes, about.”
Lestat: “So you go out, on average, 35 minutes a night.”
Louis: “Depression is not defined by the lack of amount of time spent outside!”
Lestat: –
Louis: –
Lestat: –
Louis: “Shut up.”
