Gaspard Ulliel and Louis Garrel in Saint Laurent (2014)

Gaspard Ulliel –> Lestat de Lioncourt. Louis Garrel –> Louis de Pointe du Lac. 

How do you feel about the possibility going around about Robert Downy Jr. playing Lestat?

^That sorta sums up my feeling on the matter! But actually, I/we had a whole discussion about that almost a year ago omg how time flies bc apparently RDJ was AR’s pick for Lestat in 2010. Article here.

Thinking about it now, since you ASKED, I feel like RDJ is too old to play Lestat, don’t you think? Lestat’s supposed to be about 21. And built a little differently – lean, mean, hunting machine with maybe a *little* softness from 6 months of fine Parisienne bread and wine, and less exercise. 

However! I would love RDJ in another role. Maybe as the Marquis de Lioncourt? Or Raglan James (who’s supposed to be much older, but whatever). Maybe as Memnoch the Devil in his “everyman” appearance. 

Side note: Don’t RDJ and Louis look adorable together? Louis/Tony slash anyone? Anyone? Beuller? 

dear fandom,

benedict cumberbatch is almost forty. lestat was immortalized just after he turned 20. as much as anne loves benedict and as sweet of a person as he is

it’s not going to happen

hiddles has a better shot at louis, but he’s still ten years louis’ biological senior. again, louis was 24 when he was turned.

also pushing for these actors to be cast is massively unfair to young, emerging actors that would be much better types for the parts. benedict was in virtually every nerdy adaptation that was made in 2013. we need a break from him.

they’re cool headcanons

but stop pushing for them to cast those two because it’s not going to happen. i’m not trying to hurt anyone’s feelings, i’m just being real.

if benedict does get cast in this, it will probably be as marius.

#OH GOD NO#new things to fear#I like him in Sherlock but just no#but yes i agree with this post#I’d rather see less big names and have a franchise with a shot at not pricing itself out of existence with expensive stars#vampire chronicles

^Agreed on all points. I’d take either as secondary characters tho? And maybe they’d be more available in terms of production time if they weren’t main characters? But I do enjoy this fanart by reapersun and derlaine, we could have HiddlesBatch in a graphic novel ❤

No Jamie Campbell Bower??? Pffffft. :P My Lestat is like “…. *DISAPPOINTED*”

ahhh I’m sorry! I knew I would disappoint smne! It was already such a long post… ;A;

I think the FC pics/gifs you use in your RP of him are fitting, I guess my headcanon of Lestat is so thoroughly saturated with Tom Cruise that I’m sorta unable to be objective about this fresh batch of actors/models/etc. who could fill those heeled boots!

JCB is definitely Lestatuesque in his own way. I feel like he’s a little sharp around the edges, but still fits with my headcanon of Lestat that, still having the physique of a hunter, he was lean and streamlined. I feel like I would want JCB a little softer… just a little from all that wine and bread in Paris, maybe! Overall huggable and lovable ❤ 

Here I made this for ya… couldn’t think of a joke so just take it as-is 😉

Because I happen to think my FC is the perfect Lestat. I’m biased, obviously, but I figured you could use some more fodder to tempt you to the dark side~

Received. YES. These are good 😀 Now i gotta watch some of his repertoire. That last one made me do this…
