142 Interview with the Vampire (1994)
- Author 'Anne Rice' (qv) wrote the part of Lestat with 'Rutger Hauer' (qv)
in mind. Upon learning that 'Tom Cruise' (qv) had been cast, she was quite
disappointed and expressed concern that Cruise could not carry the part.
After attending a screening, Rice wrote a letter of apology, quite pleased
with Cruise's portrayal.
- 'River Phoenix' (qv) was cast as The Interviewer, but died before
filming began. 'Christian Slater' (qv) took the part and donated all of
his earnings from the film to Phoenix' favourite charities.
- Cruise was placed on an elevated platform during some scenes to reduce
the height difference between his character and other vampires.
