- Showrunner Rolin Jones personal favorite moment in the finale:
My favorite scene in there is the balcony scene. It's so screwed up. Lestat is such a weirdo. [Laughs.] But there is such a desperate longing in there. Sam's playing about five things in that scene.
And it was one of those things that was buried in the edit room because the sound was really bad. We had crazy wind, we had a train and plane [noise]. It wasn't in the first editors cut and then the episode got a little short. The editor, Leo Trombetta, did Episodes 1 and 7. He's a master and knew we had sound issues so he hadn't seen the scene for like three weeks. We played it back and then he got all weepy. So we made a bunch of calls to our sound people at Universal to reconstruct it. Everybody kind of stopped their work and looked at it and we put it back in. That's also one single take that we're using of Sam, with the worst original sound possible.

A.Rice created Lestat and immortalized him through her writing and Sam is immortalizing him through his memorable and flawless performance.
He manages to give structure, shape and a captivating voice to him, to make that his imperfections look perfect, to velvet his brutalities, to empower his weaknesses, to reveal his pains through those eyes that speak.
There will be none like this Lestat.
Super thumbs up D.
What can I say dear Lili, I absolutely agree with all that you have said! ❤
Pefectly said 👍👏👏👏
@@HaronidMuse
I say thank you so much for sharing this flawless performance. It means a lot to those of us who haven't watched the series.
@@lilianadoval8927 My pleasure dear L, makes me very happy to know that ❤ and I hope/wish you be able to watch it.
Perfection, nothing to add. Forever Sam Reid will be my quintessential Lestat. 💯
I remember watching the first scene of Sam/Lestat when he meets Louis and thinking yesss.. I'm in love and I couldn't believe how perfect and good he was as Lestat and how in Gods name, he will do to keep that level of perfection during the series but he did!!! I just keep being in awe of his performance everytime I watched him. Sam is a very talented & special man.
the fact that Lestat knew Louis wanted him dead here kills me
Me too, this scene gets me all the time absolutely 💯 flawless performance!
Same. Everyone has Louis as the victim of the relationship, but I think Lestat loved Louis way more than Louis loved him. The look he gave Louis after "desperately fragile ", so much emotion.
@@jkidd1982Yes but just because Lestat loved him doesn't justify the way he treated him.
The way they just looked at each other like they knew something was gonna unfold
Rescued from the cutting room floor, made the editor of the episode cry and the others he showed it to, but the audio from the scene had plane and train noises in the background, called in a request to the audio people, audio department cleaned up the sound and put this one take performance by Sam back in the episode. Perfection.
God Bless the editor! we wouldn't have this wonderful scene if it wasn't for him, I loved that he cried with this scene. ❤
What an incredible story! Thank you so much for sharing this info. It’s such a beautifully powerful scene in its quiet solemnity. ❤
It speaks to the quality of the show that these kind of scenes go on the cutting room floor. This is truly one of the best shows in recent memory.
This scene was beautiful. I can sense Louis didn't wanna go through with it.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
He really is a big fan of the books and the character lestat, and I'm so glad that he finally gets to portray him in such an incredible way, i can't seem to think any other actor who could play lestat as he does
Lestat wanted Louis’s love so desperately broke my heart!😢
Damn you, Lestat! He caused Louis and Claudia such pain but I felt for him because the entire time he's speechifying he's searching Louis' face like, "Is he really going to go through with this?" Lestat deserved it but man was hurt that Louis was really proceeding.
That's the thing with Lestat even when I hated him in the books I found him endearing because for all his bravado,charisma,magnetism,sexyness and cruelty .he's still longing for love, companionship and still has fear of abandonment..
He did and he didn't. A lot of the troubles they faced they did so because they chose not to heed his warning's. Even if he is a bit abrasive I would listen to the vampire with 100+ years more experience than me.
Did you watch season 2?
He is Lestat through and through. I will never see another actor as him again. Exactly what I hoped for when I read the books as a teenager❤
Completely Agree!!! ❤
Sam Reid just personifies Lestat . Such a talented and skilled actor . Masterful performance. He is incredible !!! superb performances from the entire cast but this was one of my favorite scenes . Cant wait for season 2 .
*100% Agree!!!*
🙏 give them both a Emmy and other awards, the really deserve it 😍
I knew Sam Reid was an incredible actor when I first saw him in The Newsreader. He was amazing alongside Anna Torv. I knew then he was one of “those” actors- like Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett and Edward Norton. So I’m blown away by his performance as my favourite Brat Prince but not surprised he could deliver such a deep and realistic performance of him. Sam should be placed with the same calibre of actors as Streep and co.
It's just so damn easy to fall in love with Lestat, this scene💔🥺
💯Agree! ❤
He’s such a cinnamon bun in this scene!❤
Omg...and that dance..Damn Louis for going through with it.i know it's as the book but the love they have in that scene ,never taking their eyes of each other...😊
Louis actually say these words instead of Lestat in the book
Absolutely one of my favorite scenes
Sam Reid did an amazing job playing Lestat b/c he took French and Italian lessons and voice lessons and played the piano he did his homework and he was better than Tom Cruise and at least Sam Reid read all of Anne Rice's books. This is so good and he song Come To Me is really amazing****
💯💯
It's unfair to compare to TC..his time and material Lestat was limited to a 2 hr series .maybe if it was miniseries or a 3 1/2 movie maybe he could do more,explore me.For me Lestat is TC cause I've envisioned him since I read the book in '97.Even Anne Rice approved after seeing him.But Sam Reid is spectacular and has advantage interm of time,material and also the century..21st century tv ,more explicit scenes can be shown and also the vampire craze that stated with Twilight,Vampire Diaries,TrueBlood,
He knew😢
Is Lestat's dialogue here taken from Anne Rice's book's description of New Orleans?
Yes. It’s from IWTV but when they are in Paris. Louis compares Paris vs New Orleans
@@MellyP22 Thank you, Mel, so much for your reply to my question!
Yes, though Sam said, he is really talking about Louis and it's a kind of plea for him, because Lestat knows they are planning to kill him, so yeah is all about his Love for Louis and his hurt, all at the same time. 💔💔💔
Gorgeous!
@@HaronidMuse Thanks HM. That explains why Sam Reid, as Lestat delivers the lines with a mix of emotion and a vulnerability which seems to temporarily disarm Louis.
is lestat cried? omg 😮
Lestat didnt deserve betrayal! So sad 😞
beautiful❤
2:01
❤️❤️❤️
Seriously .that scene was amazing. This is the best cast I've seen in a while amazing.
Someone needs to give Sam Reid all the Emmys for that performance. He really embodied Lestat with this performance. I already have tears in my eyes watching it. 🥹
I love Lestat! He did everything for Louie and horrible Claudia! She was awful! And she wasn’t happy til she killed Antoinette!
The more I watch the show the more I see how awful Claudia was 😢
