Ooooh! That could be very interesting. At the very least we know he loves actresses! He could definitely play the Phantom, but would he be willing to cover his face and get all gruesome underneath for it? Hm…
“When had it happened that arterial blood was not enough, and he must rip out the heart and suck it dry also? When had it started that he had to lick the most vicious wounds for the little juice they would yield? He could exist without this, yet he couldn’t resist it, and so he sought—or so he told himself—to make the very most of it when he feasted” – Prince Lestat, chapter 8, Marius and Flowers
There’s something so delightful in seeing Marius depicted outside his usual elegance and poise. I’m falling in love with this piece the longer I look at it.
Personal fantasy: Printing out a hundred (or so) of those Talamasca cards the wonderful fans make and randomly handing them out/leaving them tucked in quiet places for fellow VC/Mayfair fans to find.
Okay, so my boyfriend thinks Lestat would be Raoul (dashing hero, bit hot-headed) and Claudia should be Christine… only she’d sing Shirley Temple songs.
Claudia as Christine…There’s a scary, yet very fitting, thought.
Should we have Marius as the Phantom? Only he wouldn’t wear a mask – He’d refuse to hide all that beauty.
Alright, wait, in retrospect Claudia as Christine would be kick-ass. There wouldn’t be any of the “Oh, I think I’m in love with the Phantom,” quivering. She’d choose him, kick his ass, and make him her own. Claudia takes no prisoners.
It’s funny you should say that, because my boyfriend just made this photoshop of Louis as the phantom… and of course, Claudia has that moment in IWTV where she says that Louis had to live, rather than Lestat, because he’d be the more controllable of the two…
