Book:
Interview With A Vampire
By Anne Rice
Film:
Interview With A Vampire (1994)
Anne Rice’s debut novel from 1976 is a gothic vampire novel which initially was released with mixed reviews. It is based on a short story by Anne Rice following the life and after life of Louis de Pont du Lac. Anne Rice’s daughter died shortly before writing and her daughter became the inspiration for Claudia. The book series would spawn eleven sequels and share the same universe as the Mayfair Witches and the Mummy. The book has been published a graphic novel on three different occasions.
Directed by Neil Jordan and starring Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Christian Slater, Antonio Banderas and a young Kristen Dunst, the film would be a critical and commercial success. Originally there was trepidation on the part of Anne Rice on the casting of Tom Cruise but she would come around after seeing the finished product. Due to homophobia at the time of making, Louis was going to be changed to a female and star Cher who wrote the song Lover’s Forever for the film. The song was rejected once Brad Pitt was secure in the role and the song would be released on her album Closer to the Truth as a pop dance mix.
