"Since these are fantasy characters, it seems impossible to imagine any regular guys/actors who could ever live up to LKH description of JC, Asher, Richard, etc. I was very disappointed by selection of Tom Cruise in Interview with Vampire. TV series actors (unknowns) might grow on you, but again, the reality can never match the fantasy LKH has captured of gorgeous sexual, powerful men who fight over, and share, and worship one woman. A movie might kick-off the audience attraction to a cable series (Buffy, etc.), but wooden acting from higher profile actors would simply backfire. Plus, what if LKH becomes so involved in the film side she seizes up and cannot continue writing the series on a regular (but so slow) basis? Horrors. Guess I vote for series with some incredible casting decisions. That way we can see a little of the sexual side of the novels, but the story lines can be explored. LKH should pick up a writing partner from her author group to pick-up the pace on the novel releases. Oh, and please eliminate same boring graphic sexual details in future novels---"please"--and get on with the story."
