I love how everytime someone meets Louis for the first time theres pages and pages describing his beauty. its kind of hilarious but also makes it kind of impossible for me to imagine anyone who could be cast in the new adaption. do you have any ideas

YEP SAME HERE and that’s another reason why I am so attached to Brad’s Louis, I mean c’mon, he was in his long-haired sexy prime in the early-mid 90s. Men at the time were complaining that he was too feminine to be sexy but that’s part of what we frickin’ loved about him.

@lettersfromjericho​ put it so eloquently here:

I love how in all the books, regardless of whose talking Louis is described as ‘the pretty one’. Vampires in Anne Rice novels are all described as being beautiful in some way, death making them so. But in a supernatural world populated by Beauties, characters need to spend pages gushing about Louis looks. His utter bafflement at this and the other characters gushing make me laugh every time its brought up. [X]

Casting Louis is going to be SO hard bc everyone’s headcanon varies. I want an animated movie bc fanart always depicts him better than any casting idea, for me anyway *pouts bc we will never get an animated VC movie

Dig around in my #vc casting tag for Louis ideas, I’d rather not name picks here and open up that discussion bc I’m not really committed to the ones in my casting tag, and really, as long as he has strong chemistry with the actor cast as Lestat, we can all probably accept some physical deviations from canon. 

if it was’t for charlize (motherfucking) theron i’d cast personally cast either rene russo, viva bianca or maryl streep as gabrielle

Obviously I agree re: Charlize Theron, and she’s a fandom fave casting for Gabrielle, but Viva Bianca is a choice I had not considered! She was gr9 in Spartacus.

^Very Gabrielle here.

It would probably be easier to age her up for the duration of time that she needs to be older, than it would be to make the older actresses you mentioned appear younger for the vampirism part. Also, as much as I love Meryl Streep and Rene Russo, they are both much stronger of facial feature than I headcanon Gabrielle, who’s meant to have kitten-ish features and resemble Lestat.

The Vampire Chronicle Characters

Cate Blanchett as Gabrielle de Lioncourt
…It was the same the first time I bore a child,’ she said. ‘I was in agony for twelve hours, and I felt trapped in the pain, knowing the only release was the birth or my own death. When it was over, I had your brother Augustin in my arms, but I didn’t want anyone else near me. And it wasn’t because I blamed them. It was only that I’d suffered like that, hour after hour, that I’d gone into the circle of hell and come back out. They hadn’t been in the circle of hell. And I felt quiet all over. In this common occurrence, this vulgar act of giving birth, I understood the meaning of utter loneliness.

@adirotynd HAVE YOU SEEN THIS?

This ball jointed doll is by dollshecraft.com and as you can see he is a handsome devil. 

I would also hope Lestat’s band would have a nice dose of Led Zeppelin mixed in there. (Also since he and Robert Plant have the same hair and elegance hehe)

The Vampire Chronicles Fancast : Akasha – Rihanna

“She turned her head ever so slightly; it seemed a miracle when she closed her eyes; because then the visible life went out of her altogether. A dead and perfect thing, fine black eyelashes curling exquisitely. I looked down at her throat; at the pale blue of the artery beneath the flesh, suddenly visible as if she meant for me to see it. The lust I felt was unsupportable. The goddess, mine! I took her roughly with a strength that would have hurt a mortal woman. The icy skin seemed absolutely impenetrable and then my teeth broke through it and the hot fount was roaring into me again.”
