Mr. Finster sort of looks like Christopher Plummer in my mind, although I’m not sure he’d have been old enough in 1986.
Roddy McDowall played a solid two decades older—with enough stage grey in his hair to supply a community theater—than his real age for Fright Night (1985). Christopher Plummer could pull it off.
my baseline image for Luce is “somebody who looks like Lou Reed but sounds like Little Edie Bouvier.”
He sounds great.
I don’t know how big a role they’ll actually play, but they’ve evidently decided this story is where the action is.
