Horror Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire | AMC

Lol, it's not like Heyerdahl is a young man, lol.

Lol, it's not like Heyerdahl is a young man, lol.

I know, and I know this show has generally played loose with the aging and looks of characters which is fine, but if you look at fancasting for Magnus it always skews way older.

It wouldn't usually bother me but I found that scene with Magnus in the books is really sold on how ancient, decrepit and monstrous he looks compared to the beautiful Lestat.

I'm sure the show will deliver but right now I can't see it between this actor and Sam Reid, whereas I can absolutely see the Marius/Lestat dynamic in Reid and Heyerdahl.

Great choice for Queen Akasha too.

 

[TheFuture]

I'm never been sure about my sexuality but after that sneak peak, holy crap. Never mind Lestat, Magnus looks like an absolute devilish bastard.

The whole Lestat as "The Golden God-Robert Plant-Rock Star" can be just over the top silly or really good. We'll see.
