Just look how HAPPY Louis is here… it’s //ooc, but whatever it’s adorable. 

Lestat being happy about being slammed against a tree by Louis is perfectly in character, however. He’s fucking THRILLED to get this much physical attention!

In every single book, Louis has to make the “Don’t become a vampire if you can help it,” speech.

Anne Rice actually /hated/ the ending of IWTV; her script (she wrote the rest of the screenplay) ended the same way the book did, with Daniel running off to find Lestat; Neil Jordan, the director, thought it was a bit too grim and wanted to end on a more upbeat note, and late into production added the glorious end scene with the return of Lestat and the G&R cover of Sympathy for the Devil. I (for once) side with Mr. Jordan here. The ending is beautiful.

Wow, really?! I didn’t know that! Thank you so much. Neil Jordan. That’s a rare case where I like the movie ending better than the book’s! (Sympathy for the Devil was an absolutely brilliant choice, too. I don’t understand how that ending went so well and Queen of the Damned went so horrifically wrong. OY.)
