Sorry....just had too.....  One of my fave scenes.Love this scene, but my faves are the much, much earlier shots after Louis's been freshly turned and Lestat is sort of taking care of him; putting him to bed in his new coffin, bleeding the girl into a wine glass so Louis could pretend it was wine. It's all very sweet and touching when you think of Lestat and Louis in terms of a human relationship.  "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

And I'm gay, but I would have at least sued the guy too. It's one thing to speculate about stuff like this; it's another thing to actually allege false charges and claim they directly led to the breakup of Cruise's marriage.  That's just foul.The question is, would he have reacted the same way had it been a woman -porn star or not -that claimed to have had an affair? If yes, then it's all gravy. If not, then it's eyebrow-raising time. Who could ever, ever answer that?
I will speculate, though, that for the vast majority of people out there, if someone libeled them such that it subjected them to undue suspicion during a potentially very expensive divorce, potentially very contentious custody negotiation and miscarriage of their unborn child, they might be in a fighting mood regardless of the sex of the accuser. I know I would. [Edited 3/4/09 1:51am] Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

I think Sting for getting me into these books, and the song Moon over Bourbon Street.

I've never dressed up as any of the characters, but I've seriously considered doing Lestat for Halloween before. Dressing up as a male character is so much more fun than dressing up as a girl.

I really think The Vampire Lestat should get the proper movie treatment. I always wanted to see Louis and Lestat's reunion on the big screen. Pity Tom 'n' Brad are too old for the parts these days.
Her's a thought though, since Anne Rice has gone all holy on us these days, would she even approve a new movie being made?  "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

You know that Sting wrote Moon Over Bourbon Street back in the 80s when there were talks of making Interview With a Vampire into a Broadway Musical with Sting as Lestat? Sting could have worked it. So could've Rutger Hauer. The scariest person ever associated with the lead role of this was Cher. I can't remember if that was before or after the plans for Sting to play Lestat, but either way the idea gave me nightmare. I hate to say this, but in this day and age of continuity I think they need to redo Interview with a Vampire, follow it up with The Vampire Lestat and Queen of the Damned. I love Brad Pitt as Louis, but Tom Cruise as Lestat and Antonio Banderas as Armand were major mistakes for many reasons. I could see Angelina as Akasha or Pandora for some reason.

Movie rights like book rights are sold for a certain time period, 10-20 years is average. The movie rights for Interview changed hands a few times and even reverted back to her before it was finally made. There are also clauses that can be included to give her a certain amount of say-so in the making of the movie...these can include, approvals of casting and script, and even if the movie is released. This all depends upon who her literary lawyer is and what sort of deal they brokered when they were last sold. OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!

I am totally not a Cruise fan and I thought he was a whiny, spoiled brat I wanted to smack some sense into. I projected my dislike of him onto his character, I guess. Although I know the roles were different, I just keep comparing his acting with Gary Oldman in Stoker's Dracula and it is not even a close call. I thought little Kirsten was amazing as Claudia. She had the eyes of a woman. And I would love to see Angelina try her hand as Akasha. [Edited 3/5/09 0:56am] "Let love be your perfect weapon..." ~~Andy Biersack | |

Armand is a child, not a full grown man, not the same age as Louis or Lestat. Cruise did better than I expected (and Anne Rice expected), but he still missed the mark for me. Yes, Lestat is a brat, a totally different type of vampire than Dracula (Gary Oldman was fabulous I agree), but there was just something that was off, maybe even too over the top. Kirsten was fabulous, I don't know if anyone could top her as Claudia. OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!

I dunno about Angie as Akasha though. Being as she's an ancient Egyptian queen, I'd go for a black actress for her part. While it would be nice for the role to go to a black actress, there are few I could think that could really embody the character with the intensity that is required. Akasha is intense even in her silence. Thandie Newton or Sophie Okonedo, maybe Ok, so if the first three books were remade into movies, which characters would need to be cast? And who could play them. Lestat Louis - Brad Pitt stays Claudia - Armand - Magnus - Gabrielle - Mael - Marius - Aaron - Amel - CGI David Talbot - Enkil - Jesse - Khayman - Maharet - Mekare - Pandora - Santino - OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!

Pandora - young blond old eyes, reese? or michelle williams Santino - Ok, just did a bit of research to help determine age & looks (though the looks can be created with makeup & wigs) Lestat (21, long curly blonde hair & blue/grey/violet eyes) - Did not feel Stuart Townsend Louis (25, green eyes, brown hair) - As much as I love Brad Pitt, he may be a bit too old to portray 21 Claudia (5, curly blonde hair, blue/violet eyes) - abigail breslyn would be nice, but may be too old Armand (17, brown eyes, auburn hair) - Magnus (unknown, black hair & eyes) - smallish role so it could be an unknown Gabrielle (30-40, cobalt blue eyes & long blonde hair) - tilda swinton is a good pick Mael (unknown) - Marius (40, blue eyes & white blonde hair) - gary oldman would be another good pick Aaron (unknown, older white hair) - Amel (no age) - CGI David Talbot (74, changes to 26 in Tale of the Body Thief)- Enkil (mid 20s, dark eyes, black hair)- Jesse (35, green eyes, long curly red hair) - rumer willis would be nice, but she's a bit young for the part Khayman (mid/late 20s, brown/black eyes & thick black hair) - Maharet (20s, green eyes, red hair) - susan sarandon is too old, Mekare (20s, green eyes, red hair) - identical twin to Maharet so either twins or someone who can handle dual roles Pandora (35, brown eyes & long dark hair) - Thandie Newton Santino (30, black, full wavy hair) - Akasha (mid 20s, deep brown/black eyes, long black hair) - Sophie Okenedo OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!

It's been ages since I actually read the books so I'm getting rusty on the characters of the lesser figures. Must dust the ol' tomes off again. 
Vysyons said: Lestat -I still like Tom Cruise in this role, but he's more of a git now than he was then. Maybe pick an unknown for the part? I heard some people not long ago saying that tool from Twilight should be cast as Lestat if they do the movie again, but that would just make me want to hurt things. Louis - I would love Brad Pitt to stay as Louis but these days he's just too old, unless they pull some Benjamin Button style CG Claudia - There aren't a lot of really good child actors right now IMO, but surely someone would be appropriate.

I really do not understand people who liked Stuart Townsend as Lestat, and not just because the movie was bad. The guy can't act Lestat to save his life, and wears leather pants far too often. He just added to the gawdawful goth music video feel the whole movie had. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

I really think that Maharet and Mekare should be played by one talented actress instead of finding two. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

I really think that Maharet and Mekare should be played by one talented actress instead of finding two. My thoughts exaatly. Just thinking about I think that the two leads...Lestat and Louis should be unknown, or lesser knowns...Claudia will most likely be that way too. Casting should be treated like the Harry Potter movies, in the sense that there are newbies as the leads with strong established actors supporting them in important but smaller roles. I also think they need to sign all of the actors that play roles in all three books be signed to at least a three movie deal, with options to follow up with "Tale of the Body Thief" and "Menoch the Devil." I think that the rest of the Vampire Chronicles fall into two categories...spin-offs focusing on individuals or Mayfair Witch tie-ins. So with Lestat, Louis and Claudia as unknowns/lesser knowns, the following chosen: Gabrielle (Lestat's mom)- Cate Blanchett David Talbot (Talamasca) - Michael Cain Akasha (Queen of the Damned) - Sophie Okenedo Pandora - Thandie Newton Amel (entity that starts the whole thing) - CGI with a strong voice actor that leaves smaller but important roles: Magnus (Lestat's maker) Marius (the keeper of Akasha and Enkil) Aaron Lightner (Talamasca head) Enkil (Akasha's husband) Jesse (the descendant of Maharet & Khayman, works at the Talamasca) Khayman (servant of king Enkil & queen Akasha) [Edited 3/5/09 11:14am] OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!

I dunno about Angie as Akasha though. Being as she's an ancient Egyptian queen, I'd go for a black actress for her part. I agree, but Angie has played a Black woman before, although I'd love to see what Sophie could bring. Maybe Sanaa Lathan? I don't see the depth in Sanaa, that I do with Sophie. OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!
