Does lestat or Louis or anyone else in the family like the lord of the rings and hobbit movies

Louis knows the LOTR trilogy by heart and he’s read all the books. He likes to try to sneak quotes in when possible:

The whole coven agrees that they’re all beautiful films, they’re modern classics in a way. The LOTR movies are watched more often at coven gatherings than the Hobbit movies, but more because of the story and characters than the cinematography Louis has a not-so-secret crush on Aragorn that everyone likes to tease him about!

Louis knows all kinds of obscure trivia, and has debates about them with Armand, who has also read them all. Lestat, feeling left out of these discussions, tried to read the books and fell asleep repeatedly. He mispronounced the names of characters and places a few times and refuses to try to read them again for fear of further ridicule. 

Armand is very into the hobbits themselves as creatures and has gone to New Zealand with Daniel more than once to check out Hobbiton.

Do you know if that behind the scenes photo (with the make-up team) was from the cut scene of Louis meeting Lestat in Paris? Because if it is I am even angrier that it was cut because that costume and make-up looks fabulous.

Sadly yes, I’m pretty sure that these are the only pics we have of that scene ;A;

^Not sure why he only has one lens in, maybe those light ones made it hard to see? IDK WE MAY NEVER KNOW *cries* But in the novels, it was Armand’s idea to dress Lestat up for this trial, being overly glamorous emphasizes the sharp contrast between the clothes and his physical grossness, since Lestat was always so vain about his appearance ;A;

From the script:

Claudia seems to be wearing the same dress in these shots. Headcanon: it’s the same night, and she cried herself to sleep in Louis’ arms after Lestat took over her piano lesson.

This is one of my absolute most favorite on the set photos. It really says all about what I do as a makeup artist on set in collaboration with “the team”. I’ll have to say it, “it took a village of very talented artisans” to create Lestat on Interview with the Vampire". I was the Makeup Department Head. Keep in mind that many others are not even pictured. If you want to work on major large feature films you will be part of a team.
