No real new info here but still! Let’s consider suggestions. I like that AR wants new actors, up-and-coming, not so much actors we’ve seen a lot of already or have baggage outside of their jobs (not mentioning who, but I think y’all know who I mean).
I’ll check her FB for some responses but we could make some suggestions, too! People Off the Page, any fresh Lestat casting ideas? Reboot this with a pic or two and reason(s) why ^_____^
So yeah, I started a crowdfunding thing to help get my things together and move to Phoenix. I could really use donations but I could also use reblogs and signal boosting. If you need extra incentive, I am more than willing to write fic for people who donate. Simply donate, then hit me up in my ask box and we can discuss what you’d like in regards to your story.
Chapters: Complete Fandom: Vampire Chronicles Characters: Lestat de Lioncourt, Louis de Pointe du Lac, Brian Callahan (OC)
Disclaimer; Louis & Lestata and the Vampire Chronicles art the property of Anne Rice and her publishers; no profit has been garnered or requested. Written out of love for the characters.
Summary: Lestat and Brian have a night on the town. The story is written around the drawing below commisioned for my birthday from @i-want-my-iwtv, drawing by @lousysharkbutt
Awww! I love this, thank you so much! What a treat ❤
So many good moments and so true to a night out in NYC!
… Of course Lestat lost his shirt somewheres bc of course that happens noone is really all that surprised about that by now lol
Mostly the same information as the Looper article with a few added tidbits.
“It is undeniable that Anne Rice has created the paradigm in which all vampire stories are measured against. The rich and vast world she has created with The Vampire Chronicles is unmatched and sophisticated with 90’s Gothic undertones that will be perfectly suited to captivate audiences, … We are thrilled to collaborate with Anne, Christopher, and the team at Anonymous Content on this epic series.” – Amy Powell, President, Paramount TV.
IT’S maybepossiblylike 2 molecules closer to HAPPENING!
“Together with our partners at Paramount Television, we are embarking on a fantastic journey with Anne and Christopher Rice to bring Anne’s unparalleled imagination to television at the moment when the medium is experiencing a global apex in the demand for the most outstanding, exciting, and heightened premium dramatic programming”, says Anonymous Content’s David Kanter. “The Vampire Chronicles, in its entirety, is not only a phenomenally complex universe of storytelling, it is also a world-wide readership whose connections to the books and their author are deep and abiding. It is a tremendous responsibility to help bring the books to television, and we are thrilled to have this opportunity.”
^OK IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS PEOPLE ARE LEGIT VC FANS. That’s a requirement, in my mind. Are they fan enough to help pull off a mostly faithful-to-canon adaptation? As my Dad says, ‘the proof is in the pudding.’
I checked out the Anonymous Content website, and they seem to be able to pull off a wide range of projects. From commercials to music vids to movies like the Revenant, which I still haven’t seen but I’ve heard great things about, I think they have a generally solid mix of glitz & glamour and dirt and grunge and intellectual stimulation and yes, even some comic relief, all things I think we need in VC. Amy Powell is right, VC is “sophisticated with 90’s Gothic undertones”, so where movie!QOTD certainly USED 90′s Gothic aesthetics, I would recommend that Paramount and Anonymous Content should watch that movie and see what parts worked, and what parts didn’t. Along with movie!IWTV and Lestat the Musical.
BTW Anonymous Content did the following which I really enjoy…
Johnny Cash’s cover of Hurt video – of the MANY reasons I love this song and video is that it has that beauty and strength in decay/decline… idk it’s gorgeous.
Anne Rice previously noted that the series likely will not touch on the events of “Interview with a Vampire,” but will instead pick up with its sequel “The Vampire Lestat.”
Rating: Mature Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Fluff and Angst, Eventual Smut, Mild Smut Characters: Lestat, Louis, Armand, Daniel Words: 3835 Summary:Drawing near to the holiday season, Lestat, Louis, Daniel, and Armand go to a closed big box store to play with the goods. Goods get played with, in more ways than one.
Notes: This is a belated fic gift* to @thelionscrimsonclaws who had requested “A drabble… involving something rather intimate for the holidays between myself and another soul I am close to, perhaps?”Go by the “time stamps” in parenthesis for the order, the first one is the only one that occurs out of chronological order ;]Also, fair warning, Armand is /extra/ bully-ish here. Huge thank you to @wicked-felina(aka @Rebness) for touchups and beta-reading throughout the process; and @gairid (aka @vampchronfic)for writing some of the ending for me when I got stuck, could not have done this piece without you two!
*From the 2015 exchange! To be fair, I offered to substitute in for their assigned Santa, who flaked. And then I wasn’t inspired until now. Sorry for the delay… *cries*
