For those of you who feel like Twilight is too pansy for the vampire lore and Robert Pattinson is too sparkly to be scary, then get ready, because Anne Rice’s The Vampire Chronicles is making a comeback to film, and the leading man is to die for!
Robert Downey Jr. is in heavy talks to play the vampire Lestat, a role made famous by Tom Cruise in Interview With The Vampire, in a prequel explaining Lestat’s origins. The only problem we can foresee is that Rob might just be a little long in the tooth to play the role, as Lestat was changed at the mere age of twenty-something.
But we wouldn’t mind the discrepancy for a chance to see this Rob fang out.
What do U think?
