Not that I uphold Tom Cruise as the definitive interpretation, mind.

Robert Downey Jr. as the vampire Lestat? WTF?

RDJ, already Iron Man and Sherlock Holmes, is in talks to play Lestat de Lioncourt, the French aristocrat turned rebel rock-star of Anne Rice's The Vampire Chronicles.

Look, I love RDJ, but can't we all just agree to leave Rice the hell alone? It's soooo '90s OMG. And Lestat is supposed to be physically in his early 20s.

(Bloody Disgusting)

ETA: transtempts has got me imagining David Anders, who even looks a lot like a young Rutger Hauer, as Lestat. I mean look at him. Wouldn't he make a believable brat prince?
