I love that movie. And I’ve always loved the work of Anne Rice, so I was very excited to be a part of reigniting it. As a fan of the books, I was excited about the fact that it was going to be made at all, and what we do in this adaptation, in this version of the ‘Interview with the Vampire’ is look at an entire series of books because when that film came out, she was still writing them so they didn’t have perspective of the entire work.
And so when we’re looking at character arcs, we’re looking at a much broader scale. So yeah, it’s valid and I love what Tom Cruise did as Lestat, and I think he should be loved and remembered for that role. And so I’m never trying to touch that. It’s a huge honor to take on this extraordinary part created by Anne, but we are doing a different show. We are actually looking at all of her books. So it is a different feeling than what that 1994 film did.
