I think she’s frickin’ gorgeous is what I think about Gillian Anderson.

Physically, I am pretty attached to Cate Blanchett, Charlize Theron, Michelle Pfeiffer… especially the latter two in terms of their kittenish features. They could all potentially kill it, acting-wise. They’re all about the right age to play the role, as is Gillian. Yes, the Dark Gift makes you younger-lookin’, but I’d still want someone who was closer to the right age at the beginning, anyway, to help combat ageism in Hollywood! And to be more true to the story.

Factoring performance in, I think Gillian would be great, too. For one thing, she could beat Brad Pitt right into the ground with her eye-rolling skills alone (he does so much of that in IWTV!), the art of which she had perfected 20+ years ago.

^“He’s behind me making that fucking face again. I don’t even have to turn around to know it. God damn it. I hate that goddamned stupid face he makes. God fucking damnit.” (Gabrielle re: Lestat, too.)

^Looks amazeballs in a suit, too. Gabrielle prefers menswear 😉 Lestat made her wear the shoes, the only compromise in this outfit.

^Gabrielle’s most frequently used phrase, in one of many variations.

^Pretty sure this was a scripted line, but I bet Gillian would agree. The role of Gabrielle would probably be very appealing to Gillian.
