ITF Watch: Interview with the Vampire (1994 film)

Vampires get fabulous and sexy while retaining some real darkness
in this Neil Jordan adaptation of Anne Rice’s seminal novel. In
episode 164, Luke & James compare the film starring Tom
Cruise, Brad Pitt, Kirsten Dunst, and Christian Slater to its
source, and ultimately cast their votes on which was better the
version of this story!

Topics: Which stars shined brightest in this loaded cast, Anne
Rice’s initial reaction to Tom Cruise’s casting as Lestat, a
reportedly miserable experience for Brad Pitt on set, some
details from later books in "The Vampire Chronicles" that make it
into the film, the importance of this movie in the history of
vampire fiction, a plotting stumbling block the film exacerbates,
Armand becoming Louis’ "Vaddy," and one last time for Lestat to
shine.
