The Vampire Lestat premiere
The Vampire Lestat premiere, Episode 1 titled "Detroit", drops Lestat into a flamboyant, rock‑star persona and sets a campy, chaotic tone. Showrunner Rolin Jones stages loud music, theatrical set pieces, and a plot-driving mystery centered on Lestat's music box. The episode interweaves darker strands, including missing eyes, fraught mother-child dynamics, and Lestat's blunt rebuttal "Absolutely not" to Louis's account, undercutting the glamor with menace. Detroit matters because it recasts Anne Rice's myth into a rollicking, Brat Prince-style reinvention that blends comedy, horror, and rock-and-roll spectacle.
I am 20 minutes into the Vampire Lestat and Sam Reid says the word “hello” so hilariously at one moment I think we should make him president
Shana9He is not Sam Reid. He is Lestat. We've been duped all this time. Prove me wrong.
idp // nothing yet3I'm so book brained that I have never even seriously thought of watching the show. Is it really that good? He was not my choice for Lestat but I haven't seen him in anything.
Phillip Iscove3I can’t wait to finish season two so I can dive in!
hannah1533.bsky.social2That last scene, when he's on the bed talking to the person we can't see (are spoilers okay at this point?)....he's seriously one of the best actors I've ever seen. It's like he's able to access ten different layers of raw emotions and let them just spill out of him as he tries to hold them back.
everybody watching The Vampire Lestat has those little details on which they are Extremely Hung Up & for me it's CORVALLIS. lemme see the sloppy Corvallis tour stop! do you know what Corvallis is? a sleepy Oregon college town where BANDS DO NOT STOP I'm gonna have so much fun reviewing this season
Molly Templeton11literally thought I was hearing them wrong, like there is no way, there is no way Lestat went to CORVALLIS, a town we referred to as Cornpalace when I was a teen, living in an even smaller, much boonies-ier town. (at the time I did not know there was an actual Corn Palace in South Dakota)
B. Zelkovich is peering out of their cave6I WORK IN CORVALLIS AND LOST MY SHIT. Why Corvallis? Who on this show went to OSU? I am trying to imagine Lestat doing a show there and... WHAT? WHERE?! The Majestic?
Diana 📚🦦🇨🇦🇲🇽3Literally I was ??? when I saw the tour shirt in the preview last summer and I remain extremely confused and also want to know who in production is connected to Corvallis
