Lestat and Gabrielle de Lioncourt as mortals

They both used to be such hermits, practically driven into solitude by their relatives and their ignorance. Seeing Gabrielle getting free after death was so great, I wish my mother could experience that freedom from everyone and the strengths to live by herself

I heard we're doing fancasting, yes? So. I've been waiting for this chance for months. I know the actresses probably won't be them but damn, I'd pay to make it so.

AKASHA : ANOK YAI give her a chance.

I know she is a model, ok? But just watch the Alien spot and then tell me if you wouldn't kneel and give her your life give her a chance.

Moreover, she already dressed as Akasha! I screamed when I found the pics. She was absolutely perfect, even if I hope the show will give her a different look than the movie one. I don't really like that dress, something closer to the book's description would be better.

But pics talk better than me, let me show you.

Last one is more how I'd like to see her. ANYWAY, I believe I have a point. She's so stunning.

GABRIELLE : TRICIA HELFER

I loved her Charlotte in Lucifer, and I admit that that role as Lucifer's mother probably influenced my choice a bit, but still...I think she would be great for the role also aesthetically speaking.

MAEL : JAMIE CAMPBELL BOWER

Ok I'm already thinking to Queen of the Damned adaptation, honestly the thing is that I like him and I just wanted to find a role suitable for him and this came to my mind. However, I'd just like him to be a vampire.

And then we have CODY FERN and my previous words about Bower apply for him too. I just want a part for him. I think I'd have liked him as Nicholas, like this

but we already have an actor for that role and I think they won't change it.

Anyway, c'mon, this guy is too cool to not make him play a vampire role.

He would probably be great to play Astarion if there was a movie adaptation of that too.

What do you think about these actors/actresses? Who else would you suggest? I'm still seriously pondering the Mekare/Maharet question...

Don't tell me, I can't wait for it. If someone has their own candidates please share! I already have mine...

Every so often I remember we’re likely going to get casting announcements for Gabrielle and Akasha within the next two months and I get so dizzy I have to sit down

She's absolutely a great character. I've always loved her and her relationship with Lestat (yeah, all of it to the end). I'm really curious to see what they are going to do with her in the show.

She is 'The Wild' and I can't wait to see how they'll make that real on screen.

Gabrielle De Lioncourt is such a cool character I cannot wait to see them on the tv show preferably played by a non-binary person maybe? There's no character like them, like being forced into the performance of womanhood and motherhood out of the constraints of the time period. Being so apathetic to her children and husband because it's almost like they belong to someone else. She's one of the only characters who was given a choice about her turning and she's the one who takes to vampirism the best, immediately viewing it as an opportunity to disregard all the shackles of societal expectations, directly opposite to someone like Louis who tries desperately to hold on to whats left of his human life. And the pure agony of her hair growing back every time she cuts it that scene felt so tragic, the betrayal of her true self by her own body.
