That is bizarre! Anyway, there IS a Denis in the book. Also I think Denis was too young to be Armand? Armand was supposed to be around 17, and Denis looks more like 13-14 to me.
Not sure exactly whose theory it was (mine? whiningforcenturies? Both probably), but someone suggested that Antonio was actually Santino posing as Armand. Hence the not-teenage, not-red-head, not-cherubic appearance.
I have a whole pile of theories about Antonio’s casting here: #Defending Antonio.
^Lookit this loyal cutie omg ❤ This is kind of an Armand expression, the lack of surprise in an under-pressure situation, the stiff upper-lip.
That carriage is really rockin’. Don’t come a’knockin’. GDI Armand it’s wildly unfair to take advantage of a man who is turned on by the arson he’s just committed!
There were some comments on my post about Denis and basically, my feeling is that Denis was treated very well. He had a nice normal bed (looks like queen sized!), yes, he was locked in there, but who’s to say that the bars holding him in weren’t really meant to keep the other vampires in the Theatre OUT? It would be easy enough to get to Armand by torturing his pet; he needed protection.
We don’t know Denis’ backstory. Maybe Armand rescued him from a worse life, as Armand had been rescued by Marius. Maybe Armand was “paying it forward.”
We know Armand didn’t really click with any of the vampires in the Theatre. So why not have a little mortal companion who might love him unconditionally? We keep cats and dogs for similar reasons. We keep chickens and rabbits as pets knowing that we’re well some of us are capable of eating them someday. A human is another level of domesticated pet for a vampire!
Now the fact that Armand killed Denis does seem cruel at first glance, but it was probably because Armand had found what he longed for in Louis, a vampire companion. Hanging out with vampires for too long can distort your reality (just ask Daniel Molloy, lol) so Armand killing Denis was probably a mercy. What would have happened with that kid otherwise? Would he have tried to find Armand? Would he have killed himself anyway? If Armand didn’t want to turn or keep him, maybe Denis asked for death.
These things are worth considering before you judge Armand as being cruel to Denis.

Okay but like Brett Scallions for Lestat, and let me tell you that this man can SING, and he has unbelievable stage presence. Also, intensely hot.
I saw him in 1996 (I think?). He was/is the lead singer for Fuel, and they were opening for 3 Doors Down, and he was WAY more of a performer than the entirety of 3DD. He CLIMBED THE SCAFFOLDING TO TAKE A SELFIE WITH SOMEONE ON THE BALCONY. Very #Lestatuesque thing to do.
In the beginning of the show he warned the audience: “I spit alot, I’ll try not to spit on you, but just so you know, first rows are splash zone.” I was further back, near the middle of the audience. For the most part he turned to the side to spit, but occasionally, did spit on the audience. They seemed to like it.

Vc casting ???What about the singer Ionel Istrati as Marius ?(but with a wig damn it )
Hmmm, well he does have icey blue eyes in the right lighting…
Does look good in a suit:
But… I think he’s too young? Too soft-featured? I picture someone more angular, and more stern-fatherish, a little scholarly, a dash of starving-artist.
I was watching some “honest trailers” on youtube and… We definitely need one for IWTV, don’t you think? If the good people of the vc fandom leave comments under the channel’s last video within a defined period of time, it might works, nope?
Don’t you think that the actor that played Lucius Malfoy in Harry Potter will fit Marius ??
That’s Jason Isaacs. Um, I looked at some HP screencaps and such and it’s hard to tell bc Lucius Malfoy’s default expression is very un-Marius to me :- There is more to Marius than flowing platinum hair, blue eyes, and a Roman face.
However, it could work, I did find some stellar fanart of him that seemed more Marius-ish:

I aggressively agree with Nicki Minaj as Akasha!

She’s almost too likable?? Look at this Disney Princess Fabulous Queen [fanart source]:
But also this [fanart source]:
“Now, listen to me, beautiful one,” she said. “I love you. You’ve awakened me from my long sleep and to my great purpose; it gives me joy merely to look at you, to see the light in your blue eyes, and to hear the sound of your voice. It would wound me beyond your understanding of pain to see you die. But as the stars are my witness, you will aid me in my mission. Or you will be no more than the instrument for the commencement, as Judas was to Christ. And I shall destroy you as Christ destroyed Judas once your usefulness is past.” – Akasha, Queen of the Damned.
