Daniel is to be cast as a 60 -70 year old?
Louis DPDL is now to be black, not white French, and the owner of brothels rather than two plantations?
And I thought the QOTD film was absurd....
Wouldn't it be better for the author(s) to come up with their own characters, (oh, the irony, seeing as they clearly have done so...), and their own fictional backdrop rather than borrow so much yet change so much. Why not go the whole hog and re-write Mickey Mouse as a karate-kicking kangaroo?
You're welcome to disagree, of course.

Date: Wednesday, March 27th, 2024 09:31 pm (UTC)I really enjoyed all the books. I had a great time reading the last book. I was happy that Lestat put Louis in the centre stage. Some characters and storylines weren't my cup of tea but I still enjoyed the novels in their whole. Personally I was very glad that Lestat and Louis got to be a couple, officially. Though I wish she had described more romantic scenes btwn them. For instance why doesn't Lestat share a bedroom with Louis? Why does he sleep in his chamber or a crypt?
So I did what Lestat had told us to do, I read between the lines. I guess they were private about their romantic relationship.
