My best friend is obsessed with Hannibal so we are going to the Feeding Hannibal dinner in Toronto on 10/25! Anyone else going? THERE WILL BE PICTURES.
Part 3 of the series Torn, Frayed & Mended – Lestat and Louis continue to mend their relationship and to explore the past. Brian takes some time to consider his life and to complete some arrangements he’s had in the works.
Most men would simply wear a simple large shirt tucked into breeches.
Some men wore linen drawers if they could afford them, which were more or less just thinner breeches.
Because of all the layers of clothing, breeches (knee-length capris) opened in the front without having to actually drop them or undo the waist. Their width at the knees often buttoned tightly to stop stockings from rolling down if the garters at mid-thigh didn’t hold.
Put on some clothes, Lestat! Those scenes where Lestat is just wearing a shirt and breeches? Technically he’s only wearing underwear! Usually even at home, a proper gentleman (like Nicolas) would wear a banyan (an East Asian-inspired robe). When going out, a gentleman would wear a tight frock coat.
All of this goes out the window for the Third Estate, who pretty much only owned two sets of clothing for their entire lives.
@cup-of-lixx pointed out that I’ve been shouted out on Edge and Back outside of tumblrland! “A true beacon of light for all of us Vampire Chronicle fans.” *u*
In a terrible state, Louis tries to deter Claudia from her intentions to kill Lestat, and Claudia sees a side in them unkown to her.

The closer an exam gets the higher my fanfic productivity goes up Can’t decide if I’m satisfied this is finished, but what can I really expect from what started as overgrown drabbles scribbled in notebooks.
Okay, I know that I already submitted stuff to you before, but I think I have discovered something really cool. It seems to me that it’s the original script for the movie. However, I have not dug deep research into it.
Anyways, it’s very VERY morbid compared to the movie and in some parts is more like the book (and others, especially in the beginning, aren’t but are intriguing??).
@i-want-my-iwtv replied: Yes! I’m aware of this version of the script, April 1992, second draft (allegedly, but I bet there were a lot more drafts). Pretty easy to find, and this is the one that is probably most commonly printed out for the actors to sign, when you see autographed copies up on eBay.
It is a really fun read, even w/ the slightly ooc dialogue at times, but I can understand that AR was trying to shoehorn in as much canon as she could and I can’t fault her for that goal! And yes, it includes scenes that didn’t make it into the final cut. Some weren’t even filmed 😛
It has little gems in it like the names of Louis’ wife and child who died:
“DIANNE DE POINTE DU LAC 1763 – 1791 INFANT JEAN MARIE – 1791”
^Dianne would have been a little older than Louis, if she died at 28 ;A; And really, “DiANNE”? Nice author cameo, AR. Very smooth ;]
Fortunately for us, some of the filmed scenes that didn’t make it into the final cut still had production stills taken which were used in pre-release publicity (collected them in my #cut scenes tag) like this one:
^I think this was another early Tryna-Get-This-Dumb-Fledgling-To-Kill-People scene, before Louis ran off to chill in the sewers for a bit.
This version of the script also has a rewrite of the Lestat/Gabrielle waking-up-inside-a-crowded-church scene, but Louis and Claudia w/Lestat instead of Gabrielle!
lunchiemunchies: #I WOULD’VE LOVED TO SEE THIS EXCHANGE #BECAUSE LOUIS IS LAUGHING AND THAT MAKES LESTAT WANT TO LAUGH #IT WOULD’VE BEEN SUCH A CUTE LITTLE MOMENT #AND A FUNNY SCENE SINCE THEY’D SCARE THE PEOPLE #INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE
[IWTV-era] Lestat brings Louis to a gathering, once again aiming to correct his fledgling’s dietary choices. Like many offspring do, the offer of the right kind of sustenance is still met with resistance.

The fandom is currently dying of excitement or misery or something inbetween! It’s only been ONE DAY since Josh Boone tweeted that pic of Jared Leto with the caption “Lestat – there can be only one.” and I’ve already seen tons of support and tons of hate for this possible casting choice.
Let underscore that.
this possible casting choice.
From the article: “Well, he may very well have his next role already lined-up, as the new vampire Lestat.”
“Not only did Boone reveal the upcoming film, he Tweeted a photo of Leto with the caption “Lestat – there can only be one. #JaredLeto .” Leto will be starring in the role originally played by Tom Cruise in the 1994 classic.”
^Despite the last line thrown in there by the author, who has not provided any other evidence than the tweet, we don’t know if it’s official yet. @cloudsinvenice informs us that the pic is NOT Josh Boone playing dressup with Leto to make him into their version of Lestat; it was from Leto’s instagram, March 2015:
NOW, if I was Josh Boone, I wouldn’t tweet something like that with such a bold statement unless:
A. I had already been talking w/ Leto about it and he was interested, or
B. I wanted to get Leto’s attention on the project and see if he was into it.
EITHER WAY… Let’s all be cautiously optimistic. I’m not saying I’m 100% convinced yet but Leto has alot going for him:
He is currently very hot and he doesn’t age.
He is an actual rockstar and has all the singing and stage presence that goes with that.
Did you see him in Alexander?? Is this not what happened? He’s willing and able to bring the sensuality to the role that we could never have before *u*
As utterly repungant as I find his behavior on the set of Suicide Squad he does have a few traits that I had hoped for in an actor playing Lestat
He’s an older actor, but not old. Lestat is supposed to be around 20 years old physically, but really requires an actor of experience to play him well.
So we might actually get a soundtrack out of this, that might be decent. (Remember how despite its myriad of failings, Queen of the Damned had a fun record to go along with it, including a fake website for Lestat’s band?)
I mean he has the slimmer/lithe build that Lestat is often headcannon’ed to have?
I’m still scared, still worried, but then again….I mean Tom Fucking Cruise played Lestat and killed it. I don’t want to pass too much judgement until we know more
