What have I done.
Inspired by this post by i-want-my-iwtv. This was a lot of fun to draw! I probably spent more time on this than I should have, but hey! I got in some drawing practice in Photoshop on my tablet, and practice in a style I don’t usually draw in, and practice drawing western historical fashion. 😀
Here it is! I am still so proud of this thing [X].
(You mean this post? wow u were digging deep!) Yes plz I also want vampires explaining memes to Armand.
#armand needed Louis to ‘make contact’ with the age #he sets himself up as someone who likes having someone explain him a thing

Tom Cruise as Lestat de Lioncourt &Tom Cruise as Daniel Molloy, for @pour-some-aspartame-on-me
Not that I know of but I consider him an honorary member, he read the first 4 books to prepare for the role and at one point was interested in playing Lestat again. He has only ever spoken highly of Lestat ❤
I’d love for him to be involved in the next adaptation in whatever capacity; I’d love him to play Lestat’s dad, bc he’s old enough now! Or if he could be a Lestat coach for the next Lestat, that’d be awesome, too.

Tom has said that he didn’t change the script for IWTV. Whether you believe him or not is up to you, but considering what did make it into the finished film (and reliable sources I have spoken to directly), I’d say he was willing to do pretty much everything they asked for.
And keep in mind that that movie really did push the envelope for its time. There are things in it that are still very difficult to film even now.
Brad is so high.
Kirsten Dunst told Bullet magazine, re her first kiss was w/ Brad Pitt:
“It was just a peck… Everyone at the time was like, ‘You’re so lucky you kissed Brad Pitt,’ but I thought it was disgusting.
“I didn’t kiss anyone else until I was 16, I think. I was a late bloomer.”
I haven’t heard about that at all, it’s possible! Let’s hope we get enough kissing in the upcoming adaptation to make up for the lack of L/L smooches in movie!IWTV <333
Idk, tho, Brad was willing to kiss an actual child, I feel like that’s more taboo than kissing an adult man. Knowing the kind of roles he’s had in his career I don’t think he would have refused to kiss a man onscreen in 1994.
^This was apparently not a “stage kiss,” Kirsten said this was her first kiss with a guy and she apparently hated it; she said it felt like kissing her brother (which really is pretty accurate).
^You might also be thinking of that moment where Louis sort of teases that he’s gonna kiss Armand but he doesn’t actually do it.
Being an artsy kid is hard.
@sharkdancer submitted a text exchange and this was the piece that worked for me:
Nope! Not that I’ve been made aware of. AR didn’t give us a reason why Universal was no longer involved. She just announced to us 11/26/16 that she had the rights back [X] and was developing a VC TV series. So I would assume that Universal rights expired, and they didn’t choose to renew. AR might have raised the renewal cost, too.
I hope we do get the backstory on that someday, but my guess is we never will. Probably the same kind of development hell that happened w/ movie!IWTV from ‘94, the rights were jostled around for almost 20 yrs bc, from what I understand:
*@moral-cipher and I were talking about this, and the way ppl criticize canon, and that’s fine, I encourage it! But it is a very problematic series and just about every character is dysfunctional, every character has suffered or has caused suffering in others. The new motto for VC fandom might as well be:
