 r the book/film discussion.</p>\n<p>Movie summary: "Anne Rice's best-selli
 ng romantic horror tale about the origins of a centuries-old vampire inspi
 red this popular\, atmospheric chiller. One of director Neil Jordan's majo
 r Hollywood productions\, the film stays close to its source material\, re
 taining the frame of a young reporter (Christian Slater) interviewing a ma
 n who claims to be a 200-year-old vampire. The man\, Louis (Brad Pitt)\, s
 hares his story\, beginning in 18th-century New Orleans with his first enc
 ounters with the charismatic and decadent vampire Lestat (Tom Cruise). Les
 tat converts Louis to blood-sucking and immortality\, but Louis fails to a
 dopt Lestat's cavalier attitude\, instead tormenting himself with guilt ov
 er his new nature. The two vampires remain deeply\, if reluctantly\, conne
 cted over the years\, while becoming intimately involved with others of th
 eir kind\, including Claudia (Kirsten Dunst)\, a mature immortal in a youn
 g child's body. Fans of the novel raised numerous objections\, particularl
 y after Rice initially spoke out against the casting of Cruise as Lestat\;
  further casting difficulties followed the death of River Phoenix\, whose 
 role as the interviewer was assumed by Christian Slater. Rice later recant
 ed her objections\, and the combination of thrills and gothic romance prov
 ed popular with audiences."---Provided by Judd Blaise</p>\n<p>Originally r
