Cruise is the only person in this world beautiful enough to play Lestat. He preformed the part so well that, as I watched Interview, I thought Lestat had jumped out of the pages and on to the tv screen. My little Anne Rice heart started pounding and I found myself crying every time Lestat was let down. I loved that very interesting ending, it was perfect and hilarious. Only Cruise can pull the part of Lestat off, Cruise is Lestat, when I think of Lestat now, all I can imagine him to look like is Cruise, they are character and actor combined together to fit like soul mates.

You Know What!? I Know its beeb a bit Since I was Last on Here. But I still say,It DAMN Well better BE Tom Cruise..Stuart can GO TO HELL!! AS I said Before No Matter What Happens it ”WILL ALWAYS BE TOM CRUISE FOR ME” AND IF YOU DON’T LIKE WHAT I THINK,OR FEEL..WELL,DID I EVER ASK YOU? HELL NO! QUEEN OF THE SHIT,IS JUST THAT ‘SHIT’ & IT WILL “ALWAYS” BE!! Now For That Other Person’s Qustion,I don’t qustion on what People Believe in,Whatever they do,Well “they” do. But you have NO right to Judge them for it. & you know,People “can” & “do” Mix up what people say into something eles thats NOT true to start off with. You really Need to Live Life the Way Tom has had to,Then maybe you will get how he feels,thinks. Untill you Do,SHUT THE HELL UP!! How would you like people talking ‘’shit & lies about you?” Huh? I Didn’t think you’d like it yourself. The Next Person that Talks Shit & Lies about Tom,Well I hope someone Does it to you,So you know how It feels. & Learn how to Treat people “All” People right.. Remember the saying “A TRUE Saying?” “Treat people the way YOU want to be Treated”!! So If You call Tom, “A wackJob” Then He Has EVERY Right to Call YOU the Same,Ever Think Of that?? No! Cut the Crap! Everyone that Says Oh Tom’s no good,Well Thats How I feel for you. Whats Fair is Fair. Deal with the TRUTH!! I HATEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Queen of the Shit,Shit,Shit,Shit,Shit!! & Thats ALL there Is to it! Its Tom Cruise FOREVER FOR ME!! Don’t Like what I Feel? Or Have to say?? The Talk to the Wall,Cause NO ONE Has the Right to tell me Who to like,Or How to Feel!! I’m not telling you,So,I don’t wanna Hear it,Unless its Tom. & thats what I think..

I think that Stuart Townsend should play Lestat again if there really is going to be a new movie,he portrays a vampire much better then tom cruise.

01 – I don’t think Tom Cruise is a bad actor, or that he’s lost his popularity.
02 – i would love an adaptation of the vampire lestat, but let’s face it, it’s not going to happen.
03 – If UA is the one doing this film, let’s hope they don’t make the same mistakes WB did, but is quite possible Criuse reprises his role as Lestat.
04 – I would prefer for them to cast another actor, preferently french or european, and if possible an unknown face, because Cruise was in his 30’s back in IWTV, more than 10 years older than he shoul have been, but now he’s 40 something, he’s more than 20 years older than he should be.
05 – but nomatter what UA’s desition is i’ll watch the film, and enjoy all that i can, and bitch about all I don’t like, and if a rumor of another VC film comes out i’ll start again & so will you.

I did not think Tom was going to do such a great job in Interview with a Vampire but I was proven wrong he did do a great job and it was a very good movie and I agree with the Antonio playing a young french vampire it was kind of weird. But seeing as the 2nd movie SUCKED I would love to see (If it is true about The Tale Of The Body Thief)most if not all of the actors they need in The Tale Of The Body Thief. And as to a comment made about Cruise getting back on the “A” list I cant recall him ever being off of it !

Number 1: Tom Cruise plays Lestat!
Number 2: Make The Vampire Lestat into a film with Tom Cruise!
Number 3: Remake the Queen Of The Damned with Tom Cruise and actually stick to the book and have all of the characters and not make bits up!
Number 4: Then if The Vampire Lestat and Queen Of The Damned are fantastic like Interview With The Vampire which they bloody should be-make The Tale Of The Body Thief!!!

Am I the only one that thinks “Memnoch the Devil” Would be a really good choice for a movie adaptation? Having read it several times, I thought to myself “this could make an excellent film”! Also I agree with Whimsical 101. Tom Cruise IS Lestat! Also Blackwood Farm & Blood Canticle are good choices.

I have read ‘ALL” of Anne Rice’s vampire chronicles; as well as the Mafair witches. I felt that although Tom Cruise didn’t physically depict the character Lestat 100%, he did an incredible job portraying the character! The Queen of Damn was a complete diaster! It butchered the book’s storyline (which was far more interesting) and not having the original cast was truly disappointing. I think the next sequel should be “Lestat”. It introduces his mother Gabriel, his connection with Armand and The Theatre of Vampires, Marius, etc. I would truly be disappointed that Tom Cruise would not be casted as Lestat for Anne Rice herself loved his performance of her beloved character Lestat.

Were they not considering Rutger Haur for the first film? Or was he just Anne’s pick? IDK…But who really cares if Tom Cruise is a nutjob. I dont go to the movies to judge the actors lives. I go to enjoy cinema. I could care less how crazy he is as long as the movie is entertaining. And no, he is not a near forgotten actor. How could you forget him. One of the better actors of the last 20 years. Also is antics keep him far from forgotten. They may push some people away, but they also attract others. Quite honestly I havent met anyone in person who would denounce his movies just for their own moral judgement on others. Who gives a damn people. Also Tom Cruise looks hella young for being 46. IMO he doesnt even look 40. And Jude Law? He looks even more of a weiner than we thought Tom would when Interview came out. Remember Lestat is suppose to be a somewhat bigger man than the likes of Tom, Stuart, and definitely Jude Law. But the looks are the last thing I would worry about. Tom’s age will be fine if the movie gets off the ground within the next two years. But all that said I wouldnt hold your breath.

Interview with the Vampire is by far one of the best vampire movies ever made, in my opinion. I enjoyed Tom cruise’s portrayal of Lestat very much. I have read many of Anne Rice’s books and I think Tom Cruise did a very wonderful job of capturing the character.

I thought Queen of the Damned was also a bit disappointing as far as, it did not exactly follow the book, but that is alright. It seemed it was done more like a rock video than a classic film, but it was fun to watch.

I have to admit my alligeance is with Tom Cruise and Interview with the Vampire. He has already proven he can play Lestat very well, and age is no difference. I know with the right script and crew behind him, they all can pull off another wonderful classic Vampire film, which we so desparately need. Hopefully it will come about and I will be first in line to see the tale of the body thief if it happens. And finally once again the Vampire will be the top movie monster once more.
