Okay, I know that I already submitted stuff to you before, but I think I have discovered something really cool. It seems to me that it’s the original script for the movie. However, I have not dug deep research into it.
Anyways, it’s very VERY morbid compared to the movie and in some parts is more like the book (and others, especially in the beginning, aren’t but are intriguing??).
@i-want-my-iwtv replied: Yes! I’m aware of this version of the script, April 1992, second draft (allegedly, but I bet there were a lot more drafts). Pretty easy to find, and this is the one that is probably most commonly printed out for the actors to sign, when you see autographed copies up on eBay.
It is a really fun read, even w/ the slightly ooc dialogue at times, but I can understand that AR was trying to shoehorn in as much canon as she could and I can’t fault her for that goal! And yes, it includes scenes that didn’t make it into the final cut. Some weren’t even filmed 😛
It has little gems in it like the names of Louis’ wife and child who died:
“DIANNE DE POINTE DU LAC 1763 – 1791 INFANT JEAN MARIE – 1791”
^Dianne would have been a little older than Louis, if she died at 28 ;A; And really, “DiANNE”? Nice author cameo, AR. Very smooth ;]
Fortunately for us, some of the filmed scenes that didn’t make it into the final cut still had production stills taken which were used in pre-release publicity (collected them in my #cut scenes tag) like this one:
^I think this was another early Tryna-Get-This-Dumb-Fledgling-To-Kill-People scene, before Louis ran off to chill in the sewers for a bit.
This version of the script also has a rewrite of the Lestat/Gabrielle waking-up-inside-a-crowded-church scene, but Louis and Claudia w/Lestat instead of Gabrielle!

kinda a werewolf for a bit until bram stoker forgot about it
can crawl down the side of a building, head first. stoker claims this is lizard like, i think it’s more like spiderman
apparently has magic clothes? because as he is doing said spiderman crawl down his castle, his cloak is spread out like wings. sir, that is not how gravity works
master of disguises. and by master i mean casually hides as a ginger sometimes
can turn into: a bat, a dog, and dust?
looks super old, has a blood feast, looks younger
needs tons of dirt to sleep on. luckily that dirt never actually ruins his clothes. most likely because they are all magical?
does his own chores. mostly because everyone in transylvania KNOWS HE IS A VAMPIRE AND AVOIDS HIM. so no servants for this count.
sometimes can be in the daylight? depending on stoker’s mood i think?
bites people in a way that makes zero sense. he leaves two marks? how??? does he not use his bottom teeth?????
stoker sometimes just forgot what he already wrote so good luck with this mess
Daniel : So there are no vampires in Transylvania? No Count Dracula?
Louis: Fictions, my friend. The vulgar fictions of a demented Irishman.
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!)
Ouch but picture going through eternity with a sightly uneven, shorter-than-you-wanted haircut. Imagine this kind of pain! D:
THAT REALLY WOULD BE omg. I’d be like, “Hold up, can you come back when this haircut has grown out? It’s really… not a style that can stand the test of time, lol.”
Or like, for dudes, beard grizzle? Or lack of beard grizzle…. clean-shaven for eternity with no ability to grow one’s own hipster-beard EVER. We should be grateful Lestat was such. I can’t picture him w/ any kind of facial hair, ewwww.
I imagine Louis purposely shaved on his last day (tho he probably didn’t know it wouldn’t grow back; it’s doubtful that Lestat gave him that level of detail), he had the time to prepare, but they don’t always. Alot of Ricean vampires are turned on short notice, no clean-up time available.
