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.
