Yup, there's another one, just read this over at Bloody Disgusting, a planned reboot of Interview With The Vampire.
I have mixed emotions over this. As a massive fan of Anne Rice's vampire chronicles i've been wanting a faithful adaption. However think this is just going to be a cash reboot with no real attempt at staying true to the source material.
Tom Cruise did a decent enough job as Lestat but I felt Stuart Townsend did a far better job, even though Queen Of The Damned was a god awful movie, Townsend really did relish playing Lestat and got it dead on I felt. However...
"We have confirmed this afternoon that ROBERT DOWNEY JR. is in close talks to play the vampire Lestat in Universal Pictures' The Vampire Chronicles, a newly rebooted franchise based on Anne Rice's popular novels."
This just makes me cringe, Lestat was fairly young in the books when he was turned, needs to be a younger actor for a start and I feel that Downey would just take the mick out of the role.
