After the director formally announced the lead actors, the site instantly erupted in cheers, with the vast majority still favoring Lorraine Hanson's performance.
Of course, there were a few who held different opinions, not opposed but worried that with the novel's male lead being Western, now having an Eastern actor, might not capture the essence of the novel.
The director reassured everyone, saying the entire production team was Hollywood's top tier, spending five years from script creation to casting, so such a meticulously crafted movie would not disappoint.
The novel's author also spoke, expressing trust in the director, and from her perspective, Lorraine Hanson's image and temperament align well.
Indeed, after the shooting officially started, with special makeup combined with Lorraine Hanson's mixed heritage, his face is highly recognizable. As the author, she's quite looking forward to the visual effects he will deliver as a vampire!
