According to Bloody Disgusting, Downey is in discussions with Universal to slip on the fake fangs once worn by Tom Cruise and Stuart Townsend, for a new film featuring Anne Rice’s bold bloodsucker Lestat de Lioncourt.
Considering vampires are everywhere these days, it’s not surprising a studio would want to return to the popular series of books. It’s unknown what direction the film would take — the Lestat character has appeared in a number of the author’s Vampire Chronicles novels, two of which were previously adapted to screen (INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE and QUEEN OF THE DAMNED).
