So this production still of Lestat appears to have been taken at the Pointe du Lac cemetery… why do I care, Idek!! But then, Lestat’s wearing the shirt from the “You. Are. A. KILLER. LOUIS!” scene… at any rate, that setup led to the shot that eventually became part of the film poster.

However, the scene of Claudia and Louis at that bench wasn’t in the film. What I would give for cut scenes…. siiighhh…

The Pointe du Lac ‘tombs’ were part of the set built in Lafayette Cemetery in the Garden District of New Orleans. I suppose the pic of Lestat in the pooffy shirt and the Claudia and Louis in Jackson Square were publicity photos.

Ah, merci for the info!

Michelangelo

Vampire flesh is often compared to marble…

Those Who Must Be Kept: (from the Vampire Lestat):

They were as severe as all the Egyptian statues I had ever seen, spare of detail, … I had seen saints in Italian churches dressed in this manner, velvet hung on marble, and it was not always pleasing…

…I stared at them a moment longer, … at the fingernails, which looked remarkably like our fingernails – as if someone had made them of inlaid glass.

I thought that I could touch the back of the man’s hand, and it wouldn’t seem so sacrilegious…

It couldn’t be stone I was feeling. It couldn’t … Why, it felt exactly like … And the woman’s eyes, something – 

“They’re alive!” I said. “They aren’t statues! They’re vampires just like us!”

“Yes,” Marius said. “That word, however, they wouldn’t know.”
