benedict cumberbatch is almost forty. lestat was immortalized just after he turned 20. as much as anne loves benedict and as sweet of a person as he is
it’s not going to happen
hiddles has a better shot at louis, but he’s still ten years louis’ biological senior. again, louis was 24 when he was turned.
also pushing for these actors to be cast is massively unfair to young, emerging actors that would be much better types for the parts. benedict was in virtually every nerdy adaptation that was made in 2013. we need a break from him.
they’re cool headcanons
but stop pushing for them to cast those two because it’s not going to happen. i’m not trying to hurt anyone’s feelings, i’m just being real.
if benedict does get cast in this, it will probably be as marius.
#OH GOD NO#new things to fear#I like him in Sherlock but just no#but yes i agree with this post#I’d rather see less big names and have a franchise with a shot at not pricing itself out of existence with expensive stars#vampire chronicles
^Agreed on all points. I’d take either as secondary characters tho? And maybe they’d be more available in terms of production time if they weren’t main characters? But I do enjoy this fanart by reapersun and derlaine, we could have HiddlesBatch in a graphic novel ❤
