@i-want-my-iwtv Thought you and the rest of the fandom might want to see this, about 4/5 down from the new interview! Director Josh Boone basically just confirmed himself (instead of the other source I had earlier) that the new film WILL be an adaption of The Vampire Lestat, but will have tiny bits of influence from other books (I’m assuming he means IWTV and QTD). He also said he’s aiming for a trilogy AND a spin-off tv series! Super exciting!
Your synopsis was gr9, but I must have it from his own words (my highlights):
I trust this man. Why? It appear that he’s not rushing into it to make the $$$, he’s doing it bc he respects and has affection for the source material, dating back from his youth. “These were hugely inspiring books when I was young. They really helped shape me the same way [Stephen King]’s books did.”
He is totally in the VC fandom, an honorary member. He just may not know it yet ;]
LOOKIT THE WAY HE TAGGED UP THE STAND TO PREP IT FOR ADAPTATION THAT IS SOME SERIOUS FAN LOVIN’ [X]
^He’s gonna take care of us similarly ❤
Reasons (in no particular order) why I trust Josh Boone w/ this adaptation, from his IG account:
Hit the jump.
^Mentions the VC in his IG caption. It would appear that he’s honored to be part of it! Also he shares his icon pic w/ Stephen King, and really, Stephen King is also one of my faves for his amazing storytelling abilities, I mean, I just don’t even have words for what he does, but he seems to come from a similar place that AR did, they were both steeped in the horror media of their youth and he alchemizes through his own unique filter and GOLD COMES OUT. A different flavor of gold than AR’s, for sure, but they are comparable.
^He collects the old industry magazines, old publicity from the time period. He keeps himself updated on horror movie FX and topics so he’s not just gonna give us some shitty 90′s eye makeup, slap on a pair of fangs and a wierd accent and expect us to swoon. LIKE SOME MOVIES HAVE DONE.
^Like seriously he takes care of his books, and he has the nice hardcover editions.
Daddy/daughter sci fi movie night too cute. TOO CUTE. E.T. is worth 50+ viewings, absolutely.
Gonna restrain myself from suggesting he cast his adorable daughter as Claudia. But if he wanted to do it, I would certainly not stand in his way.
Went couch shopping over the weekend and got to butt-test LOTS of couches, which may not seem awesome, but was adventurous for my butt. I don’t have any VC-related image for this so have this underappreciated memeything, bc, ADVENTURE:
(my birthday was 3/16, so sorry for the delay in reply to these lovely messages which arrived on time!)(I have a bunch more to get to, they really made my day extra special, you are such wonderful ppl!)
Awww thank youuuu! I’m sure Louis would love a bite of me, I like to think he has a real sweet-tooth. And I always read your tags and comments, you definitely share my sense of humor about these dysfunctional fanged ghey idiots we adore so much ❤
Better birthday than…? Well, c’mon, that’s setting the bar too high, nothing tops Gabrielle bitch slapping Lesty! I would pay good money to watch that. But this birthday has definitely been in the top 5 of all my birthdays EVAR and continues to be! More party time this wknd, w/ birthday driiiiinks…
^This is still funny to me even tho it got hardly any attention when it was originally posted and I do not even care bc I LIKE IT and it’s TRUE.
And you’re another long-time follower! You started following me 3/14/14! 2 years! Impressive ;D
Thank you for your loyalty, if you’ve been following me this long then you know when I’m recycling old answers/pics at this point :O … I aim to keep content as fresh as possible, and drag up the old stuff only if it’s a reeeeally good fit *u*
You have indeed been following me for almost 2 yrs! I love seeing familiar names in my Activity feed, and I ALSO have all the “X is now following you” messages (bc I am a little bit of a borderline hoarder)(in a good way), so here’s yours, from 5/31/14, the day you hit that Follow button and jumped into our trashpile improved your dash:
Even for me, it was such a gift to find the VC fandom action here! You’re right, this fandom is hard to find, for a reason: we had to hide from certain ppl for so long, since we apparently weren’t engaging w/ canon in an acceptable way. BUT WE’RE HERE NOW, times are different, we can all live and let live, ship and let ship, and coexist in peeeeace!
So I run the blog I would have wanted to find when I was first looking for the VC fandom ages ago, and I’m honored to provide it for you all now ❤
Thank u! (technically mines was 3/16)(BUT IT STILL COUNTS)(close enough) let us enjoy the Hiddles’ Snake Hips for our close-enough shared birthday:
^And this is relevant to VC bc he has been mentioned in VC casting discussion here in tumblrland, and he’s already played a vampire, but why not another one?
“Oh my Dior”? Like the fashion company? LOL that is so Lestatuesque, to say that instead of “OMG”. Thank u so much my dear! You are one of my Official Facebook Agents, keeping your eye out for any VC droplets to send me which I appreciate bc YES I AM ADDICTED TO THIS MESS and I’m so so glad that I can acquire it and deal it back out to my other fanged little trash kitten addicts ^,….,^
*Technically you’re not late, bc when a birthday falls on a weekday, you are entitled to celebrate it on the weekend before AND after, that’s just the rules ;D
