00:49:12 Film Marketing  

Interview with the Vampire (1994) 

Director: Neil Jordan  

Writer: Anne Rice  

Stars: Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Christian Slater, Antonio Banderas 

This gothic horror masterpiece set in New Orleans and Paris re-defined the vampire genre and features great performances from Pitt and Cruise along with copious amounts of gore. 

Whilst little information exists about the marketing of the film apart from the trailer and posters, we know that writer Anne Rice objected to Tom Cruise being cast in the role of Lestat. She kicked up a torrent of publicity whilst airing her concerns. 

Once the film came out she admitted Cruise’s performance was excellent and the film was a masterpiece. She even took out an advert in the NY Times to admit she was wrong. 

We dig into this story in more detail.
