I
was briefly talking with @i-want-my-iwtv yesterday in regards to all
the “excitement” surrounding possible casting choices in the new TVL
film to which I brought up my personal choice for the Brat Prince
himself.
You may recognize Sam Claflin better as Finnick Odair from the Hunger Games
series. In fact, it was Claflin’s portrayal of Finnick which led to me
considering and then later choosing him as Lestat in my fancast, with
many similarities between the two characters.
*Note: my fancast only contains actual actors/actresses- not models or
any other sort of face claim. So, all picks essentially have acting experience
for me to base my choices on. If I were to choose a face claim, it would have to be Martin
Rowlinski, considering when Lestat visits me in my kinky dreams, he looks like
Martin Rowlinski (there was another dream where he was in a Pride parade
with a bright green fishnet top and rollerblades, but I’ll save that
for another time).
So why Sam Claflin? For starters,
Claflin facial and bodily characters match those of the book’s not just
in detail, but in expression and movement of them as well.
Here’s
Claflin himself rocking the shoulder length blonde hair as Prince William in Snow White and The Huntsman, not
necessarily curly but with some wave to it. Sam Claflin is 5′11″ and 30 years old according to IMDB, so the height is a close match. As for the age, he’s very youthful looking, and age hasn’t stopped Anne in her own choices so, I think it’s fine. As for the well shaped but
large and animated mouth…well…
These were too great to not include…
Claflin
also has a lot of experience with one particular character type that
will be handy in portraying Lestat, and that is the romantic action
hero. He might not always be the central character when he takes on this
trope, but Claflin’s character will always be involved in a plot angle
focused on love, beauty, blind bravery, and heroics. A sassy, snarky
attitude may or may not be included alongside that heart of gold (but is
more than not). For good or evil intent, I feel this is a key part of
Lestat’s character, but not the only key part.

i am The Vampire Lestat. i’m immortal. more or less. the light of
the sun, the sustained heat of an intense fire—these things might
destroy me. but then again, they might not. i’m six feet tall, which
was fairly impressivein the 1780s when i was a young mortal man. it’s
not bad now. i have thick blond hair, not quite shoulder length, and
rather curly, which appears white under fluorescent light. my eyes are
grey, but they absorb the colours blue or violet easily from surfaces
around them. i’m a vampire (if you can’t tell) and i wear all the latest fashions. for example today i was wearing
gorgeous black leather clothes that i’d taken from my victims. i was walking the streets of New Orleans. it was nighttime so there was no sun, which i was very happy about. a lot of mortals stared at me. i put up my middle finger at them.
louis: i miss you like the deserts miss the rain lestat: oh that’s so sweet, i– louis: i’ve adapted to existence without you, buried everything we made together, and prolonged exposure to you would be disastrous.
