Can we talk about the control that Sam has over his voice? He’s an Australian singing in the accent of a native French speaker who is slowly losing his accent as it becomes more americanised and damn it’s impressive.
@@ZiMiLa49 And yet was still incredibly impressive! He's a British actor going back and forth between a New Orleans accent and a generic international American one constantly.
I see I was not the only one lured by Lestat (Sam)'s charm from this trailer XD Did the exact same thing yesterday, broke my heart in season 1, broke my heart even deeper in season 2 but for opposite reasons like WTF this show is good X)
Coming at him with a makeup brush. "Do I look like I need it?" MOST. LESTAT. MOOD. EVER! 😂 No SIR, you and your ridiculously perfect face do not need ant enhancement!
Sam Reid is going to be the death of me because he gave me exactly who I thought Lestat should be and now he has up the game and given me exactly who Rockstar Lestat should be. Give this man EVERY award!
@@jkidd1982 So far the show hasn't tickled me but now I'm definitely intrigued. I feel that this man was born to play this role! I've read the books, THIS one in particular, so many times that I have my own head canon about how he looks, speaks and moves.... this guy drew me in and blew away all of my preconceived notions! I'm so here for it!
Honestly I am super psyched. I really enjoyed what AMC did for this series. And as much as I love Tom Cruise in the role (iconic). Sam is the essence of Lestat. My only issue is actually the music. I want to see either a more industrial/ noise with a sprinkle of FKA Twigs sound. Or an Iggy Pop approach. Less Blusey. Or full neo glam rock. But that's just me. Still can't wait to see it.
that would be dope! imagine they drop an album on vinyl just before the premiere! omg! what color would it be? you know how there's a limited editon purple Prince album?! what color would The Vampire Lestat's vinyl album be? my bad.... i went off on a tangent....
absolutely hysterical that armand tattooed some poor guy’s wrist and got him involved with the lestat documentary just so he could flash that message at the camera
Daniel and Lestat finally meet. The sass will be next level from these two, but I hope they become good friends. Why was Daniel coughing though? I hope Lestat's not behind it, I really want the both of them to be pals.
Pretty sure that was all Lestat bc he thinks the book is trash and doesn't want to discuss it. But instead would rather use the time to do his own zoom in and intro. 😂😂
@@destanalgul1166is he though? We don’t know when that scene from the end of season 2 takes place where Daniel is a vampire? It could be after the interview
In Rolin we trust!!!! Spoiling us with this top tier glimpse into S3 this early?! We are truly spoiled with this cast and crew! Daniel Hart's about to knock this soundtrack out of the park - AGAIN! Love this show!
One GREAT DETAIL I noticed the ruby crusted choker lestat wears is the same placement his scar would be when louis slit his throat - 😮 - reminds me of “The green ribbon” story
Sam Reid is to Lestat what Ryan Reynolds is to Deadpool. There was never a Lestat before him as far as I am concerned and there will never be another after.
@@ToTBoOCruise looked like a little boy dressed as a Vampire for Halloween and was far too uptight and milquetoast to play such a magnetic, debauched character as Lestat. Sam Reid is fearless and portrays EVERY aspect of our favorite Vampire’s personality.
Tom Cruise has been my Lestat for 30 years.. never thought id see anyone else do Lestat justice..boy was i wrong..sam is in fact THE VAMPIRE LESTAT...i would love to see tom come back as another vampire in a cameo role... considering how hard he worked to get the role and how good he was in it.. probably won't happen..but it'd be cool...
@@boombasett6038 stop it..this is recentcy bias..Tom was absolutely great as lestat... considering Queen Anne didn't want him in the role...then she took All the complaints back because he killed it.. people doing reactions to the movie are still blown away by his Lestat... Matter of fact.. without the success of the movie and what Tom did with the character..we don't get this show..or Sam as Lestat
@@boombasett6038nah Lestat was Cruise’s best work. He killed that role and surprised everyone. Somehow Sam has managed to elevate Lestat to another level. Maybe because it’s longer form and so we can dive deeper into a character that Sam never misses on?
Oh lawd, it was controversial that Tom Cruise was cast as Lestat. Anne didn’t want him cast and quit the production over it. Fans didn’t want it because it’s Tom Cruise, wtf is he doing as a vampire?!?? He proved to be adequate but avoided the homoeroticism and would never have cut it as a believable rock star. Stuart Townsend had the rock star part down and that was about it. Most fans have been waiting for Sam since the books were published. I’m glad Anne got to see him before she died.
YES LESTAT CRYING!! TVL was amazing to read because of all the different emotions of Lestat and I can’t wait to see it all play out. No idea we would get this so soon and I am FED
Are we not gonna talk about how Lestat stared directly into the camera and making it zoom in as he talks. This is top notch quality and so much what Lestat would do.
Literally have watched this like 4 times since it came out and only just noticed as well! Decided to look in the comments to see if anyone else caught it haha
At 1:30 does it sound to anyone else as if Daniel is communicating telepathically? I haven't seen it mentioned and "she" doesn't reply. It's not surprising that they would i just love the little details ❤
The best serie ! Sam Reid is possesed with lestat. I Love every season and this season 3 Will be awesome, we all love Rockstar troublemaker lestat. Hope Moreno people know and enjoy this serie.
2:04 “why are we pushing” omg I missed that the first time (I also didn’t really know what I was watching lol) it’s lestât controlling the camera himself when he lifts his finger!
I cannot, however, get over the fact that the bass 'n beat to this song sound very much exactly like the song 'I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles).' Like intensely😅
Oh and also in the entirety of the writers room. Because I'm pretty sure we trust in Rolin because of the collaborative discussion and careful consideration that must go into script decisions by this whole group.
I really do hope these guys keep up the real-life appearence for Rockstar Lestat. Imagine how much fun that would be, and great advertising and promotion for the show. Put him on Genius Interviews, Hot seat, Chicken Date...the list goes on.
it has been two weeks now and I am drooling over Sam Reid like anything. He has defined acting at a different level. In S1 he has shown what is to be truly androgynous. He has been an amazing "character shifter" slipping into being a man and a woman so effortlessly. His eyes and his voice are his greatest assets and he can deliver dialogues even if he is not speaking a single word.
Maybe I’m reading this wrong or maybe I’m stating the obvious, but this whole clip is a music video right. Lestat playing up to the expected diva behaviours of a ‘vampire rockstar’. Daniel coughing after asking about IWTV, almost as if Lestat is choking him with his vampire powers. The camera zooms in on him as if by magic as he uses his mind gift to talk to the audience before he starts to sing. No this is Lestat preforming as ‘The Vampire Lestat’
This is glorious. Longtime Cruise-as-Lestat fan but wow Sam & co said "hmmm what if we did that but MORE?" I didn't even know more was possible. I didn't know this level of extra existed. I have no choice but to stan.
OMG! THIS is just sheer PERFECTION! I hope they include a whole variety of songs in Season 3 because this is just BRILLIANT Sam Reid sounds EXACLTY as I imagined.....the flamboyance, the playful arrogance poking fun at himself and the stodgy way vampires have self-governed themselves to this point in the story line, the blending of classical musical knowledge sprinkled throughout the wording, the seductive "whaa-aaa" and flirtatious words being delivered with honest reference to who and what he is ----I could go on, but its absolute perfection! it would be amusing if they show various vampires going about their daily lives and hearing the song for the first time. In the book, they describe how vampires were in shock all over the world in one sentence, but they never go in detail. So I could imagine a montage showing vampires in different parts of the world hearing it playing at a club or on the radio for the first time.....would also be a cool way to introduce a whole variety of characters.
Lestat doing the most as usual having a whole set for the interview compared to Louie just getting recorded and documented
I think it's actually Lestat while on tour. The set and production is for his concert, the Interview is just distraction.
It definitely gave me that vibe too @@Indigocell
😂❤
He’s on tour, this is his rock star era!
"Do I look like I need you" 🏆✨️
That choker resembling a slit throat he's such a drama queen
Right??? ❤
@@aureanglam2644 I noticed this too !
Drama Queen or Troll?
As Claudia said: always the little slights
So the choker was used as a solidarity to the French upper classes who were murdered in the revolution so I’m not surprised lestat is using it 😂
Set people: Daniel is dying!
Lestat: This ain't about him.
I’m confused why he’s dying? Didnt he become a vampire in the season 2 finale??
@@so-calledpunk323I think Lestat is giving him just a little mind choke
@ I got that after reading more comments, that makes more sense for sure!
Can we talk about the control that Sam has over his voice? He’s an Australian singing in the accent of a native French speaker who is slowly losing his accent as it becomes more americanised and damn it’s impressive.

Everything about Sam Reid is impressive.

No joke y'all need to release a new Lestat song every few months before season 3, also make vinyl records of his EPs and albums. Real talk.

Pretty sure that was all Lestat bc he thinks the book is trash and doesn't want to discuss it. But instead would rather use the time to do his own zoom in and intro. 😂😂
