If I could cast "The Vampire Lestat" if they ever made it into a movie...

Yes, here it is. This is a bit of a wish list, guess, play around. If anyone has any thoughts, feel free to mention them...

Lestat: Jude Law (I think he could pull this off)
Nicki: Orlando Bloom (or maybe he should be Armand???)
Gabrielle: Cate Blanchett
Armand: Skeet Ulrich or Orlando??? (maybe Skeet would be better as Armand?? Someone very beautiful is essential. Johnny Depp when he was younger would have worked for either).
Marius: Daniel Day-Lewis (perhaps??)
Louis: Heath Ledger (could work, methinks)

...and if we start getting into "Queen of the Damned" (someone could make a better version than that mess that finally made it to the screen, I'm convinced) how about some of these:

Daniel: Jared Leto or Chad Michael Murray
Santino: Stuart Townsend (not a good Lestat, but ideal for this character, I think)
Maharet: Nicole Kidman
Pandora: Ashley Judd
Khayman: Goren Visnijc (sorry about the spelling, not sure if it's right)
Mael: ???
Eric: ???
Jesse: ???
Mekare: ???

No, ran out of ideas...sorry! Just thoughts, on the whole. It's kind of hard sometimes to think of who would fit until you see just the perfect person.

Well, that's me for this week. Catch ya on the flip-side.

Nicole Kidman as one of the Twins. *swoon*

Dammit, I liked the original Lestat and Louis. I really can't see Heath Ledger.

Yes...well...I'm having a Heath Ledger crush moment. Not really 100% sure actually. Having read the book about 10 times before the movie was made, I had this picture of Louis in my head before Brad got anywhere near the character (and it wasn't quite like Brad, Lestat was even more NOT Tom Cruise). Though I think Mr Pitt did a good job (Brad's also my kinda guy), he's getting a bit old for Louis, who was about 25 when "made". I had another thought, but he'd have to have some contact lenses (green of course) and have his hair died black... that's our friend Boone from Lost, Ian Somerhalder. He's very beautiful, rather than handsome, so maybe. You got any other thoughts? Glad you liked the idea of Nicole anyway...
