IWTV premiere, Savoy Cinema in Dublin, January 1995.
“What attracted you to the vampire movie?”
“It was a very exotic story and uniquely told, and, to have the opportunity to work with Neil Jordan, I was very excited about that… wonderful actors to work with, with… there’s a… obviously it’s something I’d never done before!”

I take such issue w/ interviewer Colm Connolly’s second question more like a statement, “There were all kinds of stories that there were bad feelings on the set while you were making it…(?)”
Tom had even given him an easy starter for a different line of questioning, when the guy said, “Welcome to Ireland!” Tom said, “Thank you, it’s good to be back.” That was an opportunity to ask him, “Oh, when were you here last? Was it when you were filming Far and Away?”
Like, Colm, c’mon, you really think Tom’s going to say, “Yeah I was an incredible diva and I upset everyone around me with my insane demands and jealousy over Brad’s intense hawtness bc he is going to replace me in Hollywood and I am so worried about getting older omgz-” ??! At the PREMIERE for his movie? ON CAMERA? Just bc you ASKED?
No.
Don’t stir up drama.
Especially Don’t stir up drama at the premiere for his movie.
cRIES LOUDLY
Update: this guy is ridiculous and I’m with i-want-my-iwtv when I say I’d eat my hat to see him as Lestat.
Please turn sound on!
So worth it.petermorwood
Lmaoooooo why did I watch the whole thing
Lmfao please watch this.
Its finally reached tumblr.
DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR? (singing starts at 1:38)
Non più andrai, farfallone amoroso/You won’t go any more, amorous butterfly
Notte e giorno d’intorno girando/Fluttering around inside night and day
…Lestat knows this entire song.
Tom does our beloved Lestat so much justice here. That he can be so joyous at such a bizarre moment, to the point of dancing w/ a corpse (especially considering how vampires have little tolerance for even being NEAR dead bodies), really shows how much sunshine he really does have bursting inside him. He’s elated that Louis is FINALLY GETTING IT.
Also, re: *~Butterflies~*
Those 2 dogs Louis kills instead of the gorgeous older lady?
They’re papillons. French for “butterfly.”
That lady even says that and translates for us: “My papillons, my butterflies, you killed them! Ohhh noooo…!” Butterflies go through metamorphosis; so does everyone who gets turned into a vampire in this movie.
spreading the good word that Lestat: The Musical (the ORIGINAL SAN FRANCISCO CAST FROM 2005) is back online and in one whole video!!
if you like Interview with the Vampire, The Vampire Chronicles, or want to see a damn good musical, please do yourself a favor and watch this
BLEU DE CHANEL: Interview with Gaspard Ulliel
ah yes this is where I have laid my affections. Watch this interview bc he could almost be talking about Lestat here.
This is the guy I would most want as Lestat. No he doesn’t look like Rutger Hauer or Tom Cruise. Did Tom Cruise perfectly *match the physical descriptions from the books* physically? No, but he did a fabulous job bc PROFESSIONAL ACTING. I think Ulliel’s charm as young Hannibal proved he doesn’t need to match those descriptions either. Consider:
- Speaks French fluently. Obviously.
- Great figure
- Blue eyes
- Great smile
- A smile that can look mischievous, cruel, playful, etc.
- He can do dream sequences
- He looks like he could be 20 or 21.
love your blog <3 I was recently looking at VC cosplays, which are your favorites? I'd love to hear your thoughts. I really enjoyed a new one I saw, the Lestat is on point but the Louis isn't a perfect face for me: it's 'everythingman' on the cosplay dotcom site
Thanks! *u* You want my opinion on cosplay? Hmmmm *cracks knuckles*
Cosplay, for me, isn’t just about the looks, it’s also in the attitude. So if someone’s eyes aren’t the shade as described in the book it’s not a dealbreaker. I think I prefer silly/parody cosplays because it’s so hard to achieve the serious dramatic quality one gets with the added $$$, experienced professionals of cinematography, costume design, lighting, etc., that the film industry relies on when making films. When you aim for silly/parody, it’s truly more about the performance than the physical look.
That said, here’s an example I like of everyman as Lestat:
I think it works! Looking at his other pics, he’s really gone to great lengths to recreate scenes/relationships, and he’s got good Lestatuesque body language and attitude.
As for the Louis, yeah, in most of the pics he seems #ooc, but I think ^this expression is excellent! He’s got the “Lestat omfg STOP” just under his dignified veneer. Nice sharp French features, great outfit, looks like the right age. He could even work as Nicolas. If only this guy worked as well in his front angle as his profile *siiiigh*.
Melodysknight as Lestat gets massive points for also playing the IWTV pieces.
I have a cosplay tag if you want more, but for now (in no special order):
chrissydeath is a fave precious Armand:
Anne Rice and I agree on sheepskeleton’s lovely Armand:
This Lestat by variousnoises amuses me and looks good, too:
There are some great silly Lestat (and sometimes a Louis appears) cosplay videos, here’s one by DemonsWithTea:
And there’s this Lestat omg by Parle Productions:
There’s a great lestat-and-louis ask blog! Very accurate gif of Lestat & Armand discussing things civilly:
Obligatory hipster!Lestat by liquorandptsdvarietyshow:
Aaaaand have a terrible Louis cosplay by Daniel Tosh, but I don’t think he was going for accuracy (had to include at least one more male cosplayer here, what can I say, female cosplayers just seem to do it better!):
