226 years ago, I accidentally stumbled across you in a sordid little inn by the waterfront. Since that moment, my life has never been quite the same.
I love you. Stupidly, foolishly, against both of our better instincts. Thank you for ignoring your better judgement and coming back to me, again and again and again.
So…You wanted a bath? Let’s have a bath.
Ah, and so lucky for you, that I have such poor judgement. I love you too, mon coeur.
One could hardly turn down such a proposition, given the breathtaking view.
You even trusted me enough to have candles beside the bath. I am flattered.
At one point I sat down with this video and my copy of The World of Edward Gorey and cross-referenced the various “homages”. For my own amusement. No, I didn’t take notes during this madness, it was an insomnia-fueled project.
You remember correctly! AR had suggested casting the same actor for the role 2/16/17:
Also Anne can you please spell it Nicolas w/o the H? Plz? *cries*
Lestat did compare Nicki and Louis, and there are similarities and differences, I think AR was just curious about it as an idea… I’m sure this has been done in live theatre at some point, casting one actor for 2 (or more) roles in a given production. She did say she’d want a talented, versatile actor who could create each role distinctively. Twins could probably create distinctive personalities but they would probably still look basically the same.
However, that “twin” comment from TVL was more about their personalities than physical resemblance:
I fell fatally in love with Louis, a young dark-haired bourgeois planter, graceful of speech and fastidious of manner, who seemed in his cynicism and self destructiveness the very twin of Nicolas.
Nicki’s face is not really described, aside from his having brown eyes. Louis is described in much more detail: narrow face, wide-set green eyes, wavy/curly black hair.
Louis and Nicki are not the same. I feel like looking the same would overpower distinctive personality differences.
Played by the same actor or identical twins, I feel like it would seem too much like “Louis”/”Nicolas” is trying to trick Lestat, a weird consideration I’d rather not have introduced.
…But let’s have the Sprouse twins audition anyway and let’s take one of them!
Um, agreed. TBH I would love for him to audition as Lestat, Louis or even Daniel. Dylan or Cole both. I can’t tell them apart. They are seasoned professional actors, they have such charm and charisma, they’re 25 yrs old but could easily pass for 20 or 21… so many reasons so YES PLZ.
