now do I believe this? no. Why? Its bloodydisgusting.com is why. I will always take any news they break first as bullshit until a more credible site comes along. But since this caught my eye because of Robert Downey Jr, and the Arrow also posted it I'll put it on here anyway.
I tried reading these books, and I couldn't get into them. They were very very boring. But as movies I personally thought Interview With a Vampire was great, and I could give a rats ass if Queen of the Damned isn't like the book because Stuart Townsend was AWESOME as Lestat, let alone a vampire in general. I think Downey Jr. is a great actor and yeah he could pull this off. But I still don't see this.
I like him better as a smartass type character. Which I guess is how Tom Cruise kinda portrayed him so if he goes in that direction it might work. But when push comes to shove they could deffinatly get a worse actor. I'll watch anything the guys in if the movie sounds remotely interesting.
