In addition to participating in the filming of stars, the tape has other advantages. Among them: an interesting look at the origin and identity of the ghouls, a thoughtful plot, a unique atmosphere. So, who and whom played in this eerie, but fascinating story?
“Interview with the Vampire”: actors and plot
The mystical drama, released in 1994 and able to make a huge impression on the audience, was the film adaptation of the famous work written by Anne Rice. The plot will surprise people who are accustomed to seeing in the ghouls only soulless monsters feeding on human blood. The creators of the picture, following the writer, tried to give their heroes feelings.
Where does the Interview with the Vampire Begin? Actors who got the main roles appear after Christian Slater, who perfectly played journalist Daniel Mellow. The young reporter is ready to give the soul to the devil in exchange for the opportunity to publish another sensation. It is not surprising that he is delighted to get the opportunity to interview an actual vampire who is ready to tell about his life, which has been going on for more than 2 centuries. So the audience gets acquainted with the hero of Brad Pitt - Louis.
Many stars are one of the main advantages of the drama "Interview with the Vampire." The actors who will appear in Louis's memoirs are Tom Cruise, Kirsten Dunst. Tom got the role of the charming Lestat de Lioncourt, who turned the hero Brad into a blood-sucking creature. Kirsten played baby Claudia, whom her fellow friends had made as a vampire, saving her from death. Appears in the film and Antonio Banderas, he got the image of the 400-year-old ghoul, who leads the whole vampire clan.
Tom Cruise as Lestat
The creators of the picture paid maximum attention to the selection of performers of the main roles, who were to show off in the drama "Interview with the Vampire." Actors were approved only after numerous trials, accompanied by doubts and throwings. This is especially true of the role of Lestat, which Tom Cruise eventually assumed. The director dreamed of filming Johnny Depp in this image, the author of the novels insisted on the candidacy of Rutger Hauer or someone similar to him. But when they saw the first shots with Cruise, everyone agreed that he fits the role perfectly.
Sam, “America's favorite” Tom does not hide the fact that the image of de Lioncourt was a chance for him to abandon his usual role as a good guy. This image managed to take shape thanks to such famous paintings with his participation as “The Rain Man”, “Color of Money”. Cruz took a risk, achieving the role of the charming bastard Lestat, easily committing atrocities throughout the drama "Interview with the Vampire." The film is cast by colleagues, director, writer and, of course, the audience now simply cannot be imagined without Tom.
Who played Louis
Brad Pitt was not yet a star when he was offered the role of the vampire Louis, turned in the 18th century by Lestat. His hero was a wealthy landowner who lost his beloved wife, who died tragically during childbirth. The character was ready to lose his life when de Lioncourt appeared on his way with his unusual proposal.
Brad was not among the people who had to be persuaded for a long time to participate in the drama Interview with the Vampire, whose actors and roles, even after many years, continue to be heatedly discussed by fans of vampire stories. He has already managed to prove his ability to get used to various images, starting with the disgusting killer (California) and ending with the charming bastard (Thelma and Louise). His character was a "doubting" vampire, who constantly throws from good to evil.
The role of Kirsten Dunst
Perhaps the hardest thing for the creators of the drama was to find a young actress suitable for the role of Claudia. It was this image that first told the public about the existence of Kirsten Dunst, who in the future will become the girlfriend of Spider-Man and play many other bright roles.
At 12, she coped well with the role of an adult woman, by the will of fate locked in the body of a teenage girl.
Interesting fact
Spectators and journalists recall the mystical drama every time a new vampire horror movie comes out. The public is aware of attempts to look for similarities in this picture and the sensational series about the monsters of the town of Mystic Falls through an interview with the actors. "The Vampire Diaries" is absolutely not like a movie released in the last decade, as performers of the main roles of this television project. Ian Somerhalder is particularly perplexed when his hero Damon is compared with Lestat.
