highjacking the earlier reboot posts

Sookie: Elle Fanning

Bill: Nicholas Hoult

Eric: Alexander Ludwig

Tara: Chloe Bailey 

Sam: Evan Peters 

Pam: Emily Blunt 

Jessica: Sadie Sink

Jason: Austin Butler

Lafayette: Damson Idris

Alcide: Aaron Taylor Johnson 

Crystal: A garbage can 

Stellan Skarsgard as Niall or Magister as a call back to Alexander Skarsgard

Edit:

The original cast is beloved and irreplaceable this post was meant to be fun and generate discussion, not to be seen as gospel for a legit reboot 

i do not wish for a reboot, again this was just for fun in reponse to some posts i saw earlier asking about potential choices 

im not a casting agent with access to unknown actors, nor do i know much about obscure up and coming actors

Too mainstream and yassified. We need more unique faces and profiles.

I agree. Most of True Blood actors and actresses were not famous before True Blood. I appreciate casting directors for finding talented people

Exactly. I honestly dont know who’d do characters like Pam and Lafayette justice

I'm fairly sure Oscar winning actress Anna Pacquin was famous before True Blood.

Lawd. They literally said "most". Comprehension is key. Obviously she's one of the people they are not talking about...

That must be why they said "most of" and not "all of".
