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 ChroniclesLook, 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 ( Read more... )

He even looks a little like a young Hutger Hauer, which was who Rice based the character's appearance on.

ewwwww. i agree with you. leave it be. and RDJ would make a sucky lestat.

I would be excited to see him play one of the vampires, Magnus or Marius or someone, but NOT Lestat.

Yes, David Anders FTW!!!
This needs to happen...RDJ does NOT look good as a blond.

the_grynne August 16 2009, 01:48:35 UTC

When did he last go blond?... Oh yeah. Tropic Thunder. I rest my case.

kismeteve August 15 2009, 16:06:56 UTC

I fully support this casting decision.

(When is David Anders going to get a role that suits him? Sark was too long ago.)

the_grynne August 16 2009, 01:50:26 UTC

I know... *weeps* He's kind of stuck in C-movie limbo right now.

rez_lo August 15 2009, 19:33:26 UTC

I am intrigued by your ideas!

the_grynne August 16 2009, 01:56:18 UTC

I wonder if it's not some media confusion, and RDJ is actually in talks to play Magnus, which sounds more like him.

I miss Anders on my TV. :(
