Reminds me as to when Anne Rice in the 90s was against the casting of Tom Cruise as Lestat. She imagined Rutger Hauer as Lestat and there is an amusing hint in Queen of the Damned mentioning Blade Runner when Armand watches a specific scene, hence mentioning the similarity itself. As for Armand, I saw an YouTube comment that Anne does not want to cast a 17 year old because she fears they age fast if her VC series continues next year or so. I think the description of Armand is interesting. I was thinking Finn Wolfhard, Evan Peters, or Timothee Chamalet. I am not sure what is going on with her series, though. In the 90s, I thought Lestat could be played by River Phoenix and Armand played by Lukas Haas. I always had trouble with Louis's description. He made think he was Johnny Depp.
