if the phantom of the opera has taught me anything it’s that if all else fails you set the place on fire and cry

And if the Vampire Chronicles have taught me anything it’s that if all else fails, you set the place on fire and mope. 

Yeah, pretty much! 

We make fun of Louis for his pyromania so much hell I do it too!, but he was a plantation owner and that means slash & burn may have been part of the regular crop production. Setting fires was a step in standard operating procedure. Wiki says: “The resulting ash fertilizes the soil and the burned field is then planted at the beginning of the next rainy season with crops…”

But then you have this exchange from IWTV:

“ ‘Fire purifies …’ Claudia said. And I said, `No, fire merely destroys…’ ”

So yeah maybe it’s just the pyromania… 

5 TIPS FOR THE VAMPIRE CHRONICLES REBOOT

alice-the-red:

Excellent article on Nerdist about Universal wanting to reboot Rice’s Vampire Chronicles. This is my favorite part:

Plus, of all the art forms, music is the most subjective. Readers of the novels could imagine Lestat’s music sounding like anything they wanted it to; hair metal people probably thought they sounded like Mötley Crüe, while New Wave fans might have thought Lestat sounded like Bowie. Anne Rice has said that in her mind, Lestat sounded like Jim Morrison of the Doors. (For the record, as a pseudo goth kid, in my mind Lestat sounded like Peter Murphy of Bauhaus.) I’m pretty sure no one ever wanted them to sound like Korn, but that’s what we ended up with.

Lemme just give you the main points. My comments in italics.

  1. Don’t Chase The Twilight Audience: PREACH.
  2. Consider Cable Television: There are alot of TV vampire series but this one really could be unique among the rest.
  3. Use the Broadway Musical Structure: It’s worked since Ariel the Little Mermaid, and before that. It’s worked in countless movies. 
  4. Skip “Rock Star” Lestat: I think it could be handled differently than in QotD. It’s very much a part of his modern bravado. Korn was probably chosen for QotD because (I think) the lead singer had expressed interest in the project. It was also a time when Korn was among the EXPLICIT CONTENT evil corrupting-of-innocents bands of the time. 
  5. Keep Anne Rice As Part of the Creative Process: YES. Whatever you feel about her, she did a great job keeping the IWTV movie close to the source material. These ARE her precious babies, and she’s gonna make sure they’re handled with care ❤
