Lestat: Aww cute, night night baby.
Louis: I can’t fucking breathe.
Louis: I’m claustrophobic!
Lestat: Don’t be ridiculous. Pleasant dreams!

^This happened in 1 second in this movie and I only noticed when I slowed it down like THIS IS THE LEVEL OF PROFESSIONAL ACTING WE GOT IN THIS MOVIE. Even in 1 second, such ic professionalism happening ❤
Fun fact: This was filmed at Oak Alley plantation (used for Pointe du Lac plantation) near the employee parking lot.
This actually happened in rehearsal today
Actor: line
Me: no
Actor: line please?
Me: no
Actor: LINE. PLEASE.
Me: YOUR LINE IS NO.
I love the – “don’t fucking cry” meme. Haha
ikr?? Thank u! Just look at his face! that little twinkle of expectant hope in his eye! ;A;
So many thoughts on this one TEENSY ACTING MOMENT… feels like so much is conveyed in like 4 seconds. Mostly it’s someone who loves too much but can’t be open with the object of his affection, he’s holding back these secrets that
even if he were allowed to tell him (which he is not bc Marius threatened such intense retribution)would probably end up driving Louis away, if not crazy.
The “Don’t Fucking Cry” sentiment is smtg I got from Tony Stark, though. liquorandptsdvarietyshow is the one who enlightened me on the striking comparison that can be made of Lestat and Tony, and even Tony/Steve and Lestat/Louis. Not going to go into a lot of detail here on that. Maybe another time.
I definitely think Lestat would understand the whole “Stark men are made of Iron, and don’t show weakness, GRRRR” thing. He doesn’t particularly identify it as a de Lioncourt men trait, but he is a consummate actor, and he has built a beautiful shell to protect himself from the onslaught of shit happening some of which he brings on himself, of course, in the pursuit of doing good.
Deep down they both want to be loved and give love in return, and they struggle to make and maintain those connections while still wearing a suit, whether it’s made of iron or emotional barriers ;A;
I just saw your post about Gaspard Ulliel being Lestat, I just wanted to say he would be awesome as lestat! I saw him recommended before on YouTube or something but yes he’s a good choice. (Sorry if this seems a little pointless I was just excited)
I think Tom should be consulted on his opinion, and then when they do cast a Lestat, Tom should train him personally.
“… two wet shriveled things that had been alive, mother and daughter in one another’s arms, the murdered pair on the kitchen floor. But these two lying under the gentle rain were Madeleine and Claudia, … the hand that clutched at the child was whole like a mummy’s hand. But the child, the ancient one, my Claudia, was ashes.”

WHY WOULD SOMEONE GIF THIS SCENE HOW DARE YOU SIR
IT HAD TO BE DONE
Basically bc it seemed like noone else had tried to do it before, and it should be highlighted how magnificent Brad Pitt is/was. Never ever say he is just a pretty face! He is basically doing it all alone in this scene. It’s a monologue w/out words. Maybe this is the inner monologue:
“So what’s in here… oh shit… oh fuck NO. NOOOOOOO… Oh sweet jesus… maybe she can be fixed? I’m gonna touch her- No, no, no… that was bad. She’s really gone.”
Had to put these together because just it’s too damn funny.
Even funnier is the fact that the actor who played Jonathan didn’t know that was going to happen. That was his real reaction.
ಥ∀ಥ omghahaha!
Yep, the director alludes to it in the commentary; and then there’s an interview I read with her about the film; she said that she publicly refused to be attached to it when she heard the casting, but then saw the test reel and redacted everything she said. But she still thought the ending was, I forget her exact words, something along the lines of “a pulp horror ending” or something like that.
I don’t remember anything about how she felt about movie!IWTV’s ending, but yeah, there was a whole thing about the Cruise casting, and she certainly changed her tune.
AR’s actual words re: Tom here: http://www.angelfire.com/ri/cerat/AnneOnTom.html
She went from:
“The Tom Criuse casting is just so bizarre, it’s almost impossible to imagine how it’s going to work, and it’s really almost impossible to imagine how Neil, David and Tom could have come up with it. I have one question: Does Tom Criuse have any idea of what he’s getting into? I’m not sure he does. I’m not sure he’s read any of the books other than the first one, and his comments on TV that he wanted to do something scary and he loved “creature features” as a kid, well, that didn’t make me feel any better. I do think Tom Cruise is a fine actor. [But] you have to know what you can do and what you can’t do.“
– an interview with Martha Frankel, published in Movieline (Jan/Feb 1994)
To:
“ON TOM CRUISE: From the moment he appeared Tom was Lestat for me. He has the immense physical and moral presence; he was defiant and yet never without conscience; he was beautiful beyond description yet compelled to do cruel things. The sheer beauty of Tom was dazzling, but the polish of his acting, his flawless plunge into the Lestat persona, his ability to speak rather boldly poetic lines, and speak them with seeming ease and conviction were exhilarating and uplifting. The guy is great.
