One look no further than his Academy Award Winning turn as Rayon, a drug-addicted transgender woman with AIDS who befriends McConaughey’s character Ron Woodroof in Dallas Buyers Club or his polarizing performance as Joker in Suicide Squad. Presently, he is working on director Daniel Espinosa’s Morbius the Living Vampire. As selective as Leto has been known to be in his roles, there must have been something in the character or the genre that intrigued him. In a recent interview during Variety’s Big Ticket Podcast to discuss his fascination with the Vampire genre.
When I was a kid, I remember being at my grandmother’s house in Louisiana and the original OG would come on and just being pretty transfixed as so many of us were when we saw that. And then the Anne Rice era was big for my brother and I. We passed those books around to each other.
Exactly who Leto was referring to is not clear however, he did make reference to some previous films he was interested in on the subject, including Tony Scott’s David Bowie vampire flick The Hunger, Francis Ford Coppola’s Dracula and the Korean film Thirst. Whether or not these type of films will be his basis for his character is unknown but whatever route he chooses, you can rest assured he will put all his efforts into the role.
