So, it seems Anne has shown a little bit of interest in this guy…
Don’t give up, Cody Fern fans! I’m on the fence with the idea of Cody being Lestat (that being I haven’t seen much of AHS, so forgive me) but I hope you get a better response like this!
Idk VC fam, thoughts?
YES!!! As someone who loves both Versailles and VC, I love how much of an overlap we’ve gotten recently! In case y’all didn’t see Evan’s response to this tweet:
ALSO, Alex Vlahos who plays Evan’s lover, Philippe, in the show Versailles, is super enthusiastic about VC too, and there’s been a lot of pull in the fandom for him to play Louis!
I actually had the chance to meet both Evan William and Alex Vlahos at a convention, and when I saw them, I wore my Lestat shirt:
Evan didn’t comment on it, but Alex LOVED it!! When he saw it at first, he scoffed and shook his head, but when I told him I was rooting for him to be involved in the show, he smiled super big and shrugged and said “I don’t know, I mean, I’d love to! We’ll see!”
ALSO, Alex answered my question on a periscope Q&A session when I asked about VC, and said he’d love to be in the VC TV series.
So yeah, sorry for the long post, but I think both Alex and Evan would be great candidates for the show, and it’s really cool that my two favorite actors from my favorite show also love my favorite book series!
For my awesome friend, @monstersinthecosmos . I love you soooo much. I tried to model him off of Michael Fassbender ‘cause you said you like him as Marius.
No one asked for this (well someone sorta did but they’re on hiatus, sadly), I had made these ‘shops bc RDJ might have played Lestat ages ago (article from 2009, I think), and so I wanted to ‘shop him into place, and this is what happened. The middle one is the cleaned version, the other 2 were WIPs, anyway, HAVE IT. I happened on this file today and felt like someone might appreciate it.
“…Now it looks is though RDJ has his eyes on Twilight moms.
According to Bloody Disgusting, Robert Downey Jr. is almost done closing a deal to take over the highly coveted role of Lestat, the head honcho vampire of a reboot adaptation of Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles. For those who don’t remember, the role of Lestat has already been played by Stuart Townshend in Queen of the Damned and Tom Cruise in the vastly superior Interview with the Vampire. It’s not yet known how this new series will take place, as there are 10 Anne Rice novels, but if it’s a reboot, it’s safe to assume that they’ll be starting up with the first novel, Interview with the Vampire.
It’s not big news at all that Universal Pictures is deciding to reboot this franchise at this time. Vampires are huge, and a Robert Downey Jr. vampire? Well, that’s just good business. With the right director and a good screenplay (Yo Guillermo, how about you take some time off those lame Hobbit movies and get on this?), this could definitely be something to look forward to, but with a great adaptation of Interview already out there in the world, I hope they let that one go and start with The Vampire Lestat.
Hey, everyone. I’ve gotten some good reception from my pictures I’ve posted. Thank you all for that, coming from the bottom of my heart.
Now, I have a question for all of you. The Vampire Chronicles is full of representation that we’re assuming will be finally brought to light on the TV screen. So before I ask, a small anecdote.
I am Andrei, a 20 year old (pre-transition) transgender man. Finding a name that fit me, finding where I was comfortable, and finding who I was even was a difficult journey…
Until I met Armand.
We have both been through similar struggles about our identity in all aspects, and so I took his birth name Andrei as my chosen. That’s how much he means to me. But I want to take this further. I want to start my passion not only as an actor, but a Vampire Chronicles fan. I want to audition for the role of Armand, but I need to make sure that my fellow fans are open to this idea. That being said–
Please like or reblog this if you would support Armand being portrayed by a transgender man.
It would mean the world to me if I knew I had all of you behind me, beside me, and in front of me.
