The world is certainly excited for Anne Rice's upcoming "Vampire Chronicles" TV series, especially since the author herself will take control of what will happen in the show. The "Prince Lestat and The Realms of Atlantis" author has been vocal about a few actors she would like to play her beloved characters, but is it possible that Rice has her eye on "Penny Dreadful" star Reeve Carney?
Reeve Carney certainly has the face and talent to pull off a very convincing vampire, but which role could the "Penny Dreadful" star possibly be considered for in Anne Rice's "Vampire Chronicles" TV series? Could the man who portrayed Dorian Gray eventually take on the role of the Brat Prince Lestat?
'Penny Dreadful' Star Reeve Carney Being Considered For Anne Rice's 'Vampire Chronicles' TV Series? Will Dorian Gray Play Lestat?
Fans all have their own ideas on who could play Lestat in the "Vampire Chronicles" TV series. Some believe that Reeve Carney would be an excellent choice for the Brat Prince after his seductive portrayal of Dorian Gray in "Penny Dreadful". In addition to being able to seduce both men and women, Carney certainly has the pipes required for the rock star vampire (he played Spider-Man on Broadway).
Although Reeve Carney seems like a great fit for Lestat, Anne Rice has not yet confirmed whether she is considering the "Penny Dreadful" star as the Brat Prince. However, the author already knows who she wants to portray her beloved Louis for the upcoming "Vampire Chronicles" TV series.
Anne Rice Wants 'American Horror Story' Actor Matt Bomer To Play Louis In 'Vampire Chronicles' TV Series
In Anne Rice's novels, Louis is always described as "beautiful" so it's no surprise that the writer is hoping to bring in "American Horror Story" actor Matt Bomer as Lestat's beloved. Hopefully, Bomer will consider playing the immortal in the "Vampire Chronicles" TV series.
