Very cool vamp flick. Not really a horror movie (to me) but still interesting.
I hated Queen Of The Damned. Simply awful.

Yeah, Interview is a good movie. I own a copy. I have never seen Queen of the Damned.

IWTV is great! A really good movie, unfortunately I haven't bought it on DVD yet for some reason. But this thread reminds me that I gotta do so.
I haven't seen QOTD cause I hear it's really bad, and I'm sure it is. It wasn't concidered suitable for theatrical release until Aaliyah died.

I really love Anne Rice's vampire books and Interview was the first I read. I found it fascinating. Lestat is a very powerful and intriguing character and his relationship with Louis is very intricate.
The book Queen of the Damned is also awesome. Too bad the movie SO sucks as indicated here.
I wasn't too hip on Tom Cruise being cast as Lestat to be honest. And neither was Anne Rice. But it turned out okay and I think he did a good job.
Kirsten Dunst absolutely WOWS the role as Claudia - the best performance in the whole movie in my opinion.
And Antonio Banderas plays a perfect Armand.
I also liked Brad Pitt as Louis...but I wouldn't have chosen him initially either.

I am bumping this thread because I love this movie.
IWTV is the one and only vampire movie that I have ever liked.
The cast was great - yes, even Tom Cruise - and it was rather faithful to the book, which automatically earns kudos from me.
On the other hand...
Queen of the Damned was one of the worse movies I have ever seen.
Lestat would not have spent half of his undead life running around without a shirt and alas, Stuart Townsend is not sexy, so the whole metrosexual no shirt/tight pants thing should have been omitted.
Marguerite Moreau, who played Jessie, was quite delicious however.
I wonder why her career did not pick up after this movie, since it did quite well in the theaters?

Awesome movie, great effects for the time and fairly good adaptation from the book.
The characters were very well desgined and the casting was flawless.
"Queen" is exactly opposite to what I've said about "Interview".

Louis was Brad Pitt's finest role if you ask me.
Same goes for Tom Cruise really.
Both actors played their characters to a tee!
I can't picture anyone else being Louis and Lestat.

Anyone seen the blu-ray version? I'm curious how much better the video quality is. I already have this on standard dvd.

I have it on blu-ray. If you have a blu-ray player that upconverts standard DVD to 1080 there isn't to much of a difference. It's not as great a transfer as older films like Blade Runner or even newer films like The Dark Knight so if you have a blu-ray player that upconverts to 1080 it's really not worth the price unless you can find it cheap.

This year is the 25th Anniversary. "Interview" has been one of my all-time top 10 favorite films since I first saw it twice in the theater. The 20th Anniversary Blu was released in 2014. I have that too, but I didn't like the new cover, so I simply switched the disc into the original artwork Blu case  Ten year thread bump!  |

The book is better than the movie. In my opinion.

YES.
It has this very immersive moments that were either not considered or didn't translate that well to the movie's universe.
Kind of lacked that sexual UMPFH between the male character's, which is understandable by the time of it's release but is elemental plot wise.
I mean: Brad, Tom and Antonio, plus "little" Claudia and love and attraction and sex and the dark.
Still, amazing picture. It does make you appreciate the novel in another light. Very primal though complicated relationship driven "tragedy".
Hysterical Claudia's hair growing back = <3

Pass. From what I've read they won't be following the book or the 1994 movie plot. Just making up stuff using these characters and settings. Much like the new LOTR stuff. Making the story more "modern" isn't always a good thing. Zero interest from me. I'll just watch the film again.

I was wondering why Louis is suddenly a black man, being a former plantation owner with black slaves 🤔

 I'm sorry, but I don't remember anything quite like this in the actual source material either. I'm confused now. |

I think it was implied in the book and the film. But it wasn't that graphic. I've seen enough clips from this show to know that it won't interest me. Pass.

To me, they're neither one way or another. They are without, to the point of undertones by human standards (if any of that makes sense)
But in this show they're just straight-up. And you don't want to know how their version of Claudia has turned out.
I found myself without anything to currently watch, otherwise I had been planning on avoiding this show altogether. But it moves along at a quick enough pace to keep a bored mind occupied.
