  • i hae never read the books, but he movie rocks, but i do try to forget the whole queer thing, even in the movie its just bizarre, but i think that was just hinted at but its obvious they prefer women

  • tom cruise was awsome in this move! who else laughed a bit whe he starts dancing with the dead mother and says "THERES LIFE IN THE OLD LADY YET!" and then just drops her on the floor LMAO

  • cruise unleashed that "IT" factor in this flick!

  • I loved the movie and really enjoyed it but it was very different from the book...where is lestats father...it was Louis brother that died not a wife and child...I seriously hope that another movie comes out that really goes into lestats history...granted it would be a long ass movie though but still image the opening scene with snow on the ground and suddenly you see human lestat riding up with his dogs ready to face the wolves....and later we see magnus setting in the crowd waiting watching...

  • I was just thinking of a video like this, so thank you for this video!

  • There was an error, so I sent 2 or 3 messages. Sorry! Please delete it :(

  • I love it! Good job :)

  • I LOVE Lestat <3 And this is a great song. I like the video.

  • I luv this song too!!!!!!!!! But I think those by Evanescence reflect Lestat's complexity and inner struggle way better.

    BTW, have you seen the vids 'Lestat - Where will you go' and 'Evanescence - Vampire'? What's your opinion?

    I'd also recommend 'Lestat's blue eyes' and "IWTV Tears from the moon'.

  • I love Evanescence. I will watch those videos that you suggested. :D Thanks. :D

  • Is there anyone like Lestat in real life?

  • I wish. ;)

  • Me too. I know, it sounds childish and stupid, but I keep waiting for him or his reincarnation -:).

  • Lol. You're not the only one!  ;)

  • @HidingfromtheDay he does reincarnate in the movie right?

  • @natalungamocosanga

    No, he does not reincarnate in the movie. In the movie he never dies. The movie has a spiritual ambiguity. Which adds to the beauty, its not like more modern movies like blade and twilight, no spiritual ambiguity or very little.

  • @natalungamocosanga spoiler allert

    Lestat becomes weak after Claudia poisons him with tainted blood, after that, Claudia and Louis make their escape, you don't see Lestat again until "modern" Louis goes back to a house of theirs to find the almost skeletal body of Lestat, he's extremely weak at this point and hasn't fed in ages, there's a bit where the two are talking about how things have changed, then at the end he eats the interviwer, then he laughs and sympathy for the devil plays

  • Great job! I looove this song and I adore Lestat. He's soooo good at being bad! :D

  • Lestat is my baby

    ♥♥♥♥♥

  • I'd appreciate the feedback from my own vids my account is pg13xx

  • I've read the entire chronicle at least three to four times. I love those books!

  • Awesome vid! Clips go great with the music. Love the song, love the movie, love this!

  • Lestat is so Wicked I love the scene where he throws the whore into a coffin and tells her that she's dead. XD

  • xD "whats that love?" and she goes "its-its a coffin, a coffin!" and lestat goes "Oh a coffin? Well you must be dead then!"

    I luv Lestat <33

  • He just rocks his humor in such situations is awsome!!!! :)

  • I liked this a lot.

  • Tom Cruise did a much better job than Staurt Townsend.

  • Love the song, love iwtv.... how could I NOT love this? XD awesome.

  • i do love how this was done ..... and i was reading ur comments , queer ummmm not really depends on how u look at it .

    u have to have a bit of an open mind but it is more about the fight to not want to kill and drink ppl dry and his respect for humanity, lol Lestat has very lil if any .... but gota love em :D

  • This is absolutely brilliant!!!!!!!! This song perfectly fits their relationship in the book and in the movie.

    LESTAT FTW!

    Yeah this is probably the best IWTV video I've ever seen. period. lol.

  • Love it

  • the song is so perfect!

  • Is the Brad pit, and whats that movie called?

  • Interview with the Vampire. Don't forget to read the book too.

  • books are better than the film but they both rule...thankgod for anne rice, lestat rocks

  • This song is perfect for their relationship in the film! (And it sounds cool.) The actual video is fantastic too! xD

  • (En francais)

    Tom Cruise porte bien le role de Lestat

    Il est bon acteur :)

    (In english)

    Tom Cruise is a good Lestat and he is A Beatiful and good actor

  • yes, It was a shame that he didnt played Queen of the damned. I would probably watched it if he was there.

  • your vid is perfect like it is, you really don't need it to change or something^^

  • Luv this video n movie lestat my fav vampire:-)!

  • I think the song Scream by Avenged Sevenfold fits Lestat well. Or.... vampires...rather.. i dunno, that's my opinion. I love this movie. Cool vid. :]

  • oh yeah! i never even considerd that song.. well anyways good opinon

  • i love this, you did a great job matching the video to the music so ironic how they mesh so perfectly. Great job! one of my FAVE. movies.

  • You did a really GREAT job with this video! The song choice is perfect and you've captured the... issues and hatred between Louis and Lestat perfectly. Here, have a 5 star vote- my treat :)

  • p.s. I love Louis too. Brad Pitt did a good Louis DePointe Du loc.

  • This song is the perfect theme song 4 IWTV. and Tom Cruise was THE BEST Lestat De Lioncourt. anyone who thinks that stuart townsend was a better Lestat is BLIND okay??? open up ur eyes and see that my sexxy sexxy Tom Cruise wuz better.

  • he is beautiful, why couldnt they have used him in the other film he is lestat

  • Comment removed

  • Bcuz the ppl who made it were old bags.

  • because Tom Cruise didnt want to :P I think they are both alright really buy Tom Cruise in Interview looks like lestat where as in QotD they pissed up with the minor details of hair colour etc which was annoying!! I dont really like the way they did QotD it angers me how much they messed it up but I think i like them both equally,

  • I know!!  My mom is like: Tom Cruise looks like a chick And i said NO!

  • I think they are both alright really buy Tom Cruise in Interview looks like lestat where as in QotD they pissed up with the minor details of hair colour etc which was annoying!! I dont really like the way they did QotD it angers me how much they messed it up but I think i like them both equally,

  • The song fits really well, actually,

    Good job. :D

    Favorite.

  • I love this!

  • I don't like Tom Cruise, but he was AWESOME as Lestat. :DD

  • Lestat is hot!

    I really love him!

    Tom Cruise is amazing when he's playing him...

  • dude, loved the video :-) good work :p

  • lestat is badass. Louis is just whiny. lol but also awesome.

  • oh and playing lestat...coolest thing tom cruise EVER did.

  • perfect song =D

  • What's the name of this song?? Who sings?

  • its called "Just Like You" and its by "Three Days Grace"

  • Thanks! ;)

  • Ok,thanks.

    ..yes my name..u r right :)

  • bad ass

  • I love ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Louis ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

  • AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ME TOO. Hottest ever... Bard makes me nuts in this role... YUMMY!!!

  • I think this vid looks like its more focused on Louis...not Lestat.

    Lestat is the blonde one..

  • i like lestat's hair down? who's with me? I mean I'm ok with it in a pony tail but I think he looks hotter with it out.

  • im going to name my son Lestat one day.

  • wats the song called?

  • Interview with the Vampire is the best movie Tom Cruise has ever been in. ^^

    Love this video ♥ This song is perfect for Lestat and Louis.

  • I wouldnt say that louie's a failure as a vampire i just dont think he really wanted to be one,i mean come one lestat kind of forced him into it, making it sound like being a vampire is the most wonderful thing in the world and then once louie found out you had to kill humans to live he hated it.

  • A failure Vampire was Nikki, which in part was Lestat's fault - but at the same time, Lestat's desire to be loved, and not remain lonely blinded him to the fact of what his Mother saw, that Nikki wouldn't be able to handle being a vampire. I agree though when you saw Louie isn't a failure as a vampire.

  • AWESOME!!

    very fitting

  • This is actually mildly insulting. Louis is nothing like Lestat, Louis is a failure of a vampire. Lestat even says so, I dont know which novel it was though. He is only remotely like Lestat beginning at the end of Merrick. And only because he falls in love with a human. Thats. It.

  • That's the point of the video, Louis left so he wouldn't become like Lestat. He doesn't WANT to be like the rest of us. He's saying he COULD be just like him but chooses not to

  • But the thing is that Lestat was trying to make Louis like him,like a powerful vampire, but he refused to be. No insult, just fact.

  • The vis isn't saying that Louis is like Lestat...

  • I have to say, I had read the novel(s) before I had even heard of the movie(Though I did read them after the movie came out) But when I found out it was Tom and Brad I almost didn't watch, but I really do think that they did fantastic jobs, could have been better, but it's pretty hard to 100% nail a book character, since the script is a big part of it.

  • Shit, this song is SO made for those two. :'D Love, love, love this video!

  • loved it and yeah louis was worse than lestat at times lestat really loved louis

  • Johnny Depp turned the role of Lestat AND Dracula down because apparently he's scared of vampires.

    I have to disagree with you on that!

    Tim burton is making a new movie.. and guess what? Johnny IS going to play a vampire!

  • Rumored to be playing him.

    Though hey, if he doesn't it'll be a suprise.

  • I love Three Days Grace!!!

  • are you kidding he pulled off the character perfectly. oh yea this song sucks horribly. white trash rock

  • books were better than both, but interview was better that QotD... casting of armand was shit in both films... any suggestions here?

  • Ive written almost like a tee like her,, few words off here and there. It's weird how you can do that and read after that and see it. Wow> a great writer. She is awesome.However to the people getting bitchy about the book compared to the movie, if your old enough, YES all the books are better. However i do have to say to make this movie to the best of their ability. They did a damn good job. left things out or put things in. BUT damn good job. Both Book and movie. lets not bitch lets reminisce.

  • Woohoo! Great vid! Thanks for reminding me how much I love those two! Maybe I'll make fan vids of them (or at least Lestat) someday...too... Need to get my hands on QOTD dvd first. :P

  • Why r ppl bitchin' about which movie was better? So childish...But I will say i enjoyed the books more than the movie because they have more detail and Louis comes back and Gabrielle and shit like that...but let us not bicker over things like that...great movie by the way...5 stars

  • queen of the damned sucked ass.

    IWTV was perfection

  • when i read this i couldnt help but laugh

    is it really that serious?

    haha

    have you even read the vampire chronicles

    no self respecting Anne rice fan could possibly sit through that travesty they call a movie

  • Amen and thank you! The QOTD movie was complete shit. I can't stand people who are all like, "Lawl, Lestat ish sho hawt! OMG! OMG!" Especially when they hail the movie an amazing one. It really singles out who has, and hasn't read the books

  • Yes, those people are annoying beyond belief. But I must admit, there's nothing more amusing than a QOTD-movie fan who raves about how amazing the novels are. If you're ever feeling stressed about how pathetic the movie was, I recommend talking to one of them. It really helps.

  • I'll grant that Stuart Townsend's a looker, but Lestat has to be more than just beautiful. If you ever bothered to actually read the books, he's complex and dirty bastard with a very black sense of humor. He's far from the blandly written sex bomb in the movie.

  • Very, very true

  • i am redicoulously scared of the both of them:(

  • Lol really, that's a good thing.

  • Fuck I love Lestat, lyk i normally detest Tom Cruise, but this is an awesome movie, and this is also a great muzik vid well done *applause* good choice of clips and song it really works with how Louis feels bout Lestat... God i love him xoxo

  • Not only you ;3 I enjoyed Interview with a vampire however Queen of the damned was much better imo. Also, Stuard Townsend... mmm.. he's the most handsome man I've ever seen and the best Lestat. Uh, excepting this one in my mind <3

  • Are you on fucking Acid? QOTD was complete shit!!! Interview was gold.

  • tom cruise is not my fav actor but i have to admit he made me love and hate lestat at the same time, i love this movie, i hated the version of Queen of the Damned, wtf with those effects i mean interview with the vampire was done years before queen of the... and u can see a better quality in the first one.

  • interview with the vampire is my favorite movie

  • tom cruise is great as lestat,i hope he will do another vampire chronicles movie

  • yall know Brad pitt look good.

  • And tom cruse

  • Claudia deserved to die.

  • She was just trapped in a body that she hated... How would you feel if you were ask to live like a litle girl forever? Would you be able to acept? She didn't have that option, she was mad...

  • Claudia didnt really deserve to die, Lestat kind of got what was comming to him. He dressed Claudia up like a doll for nearly 30 years and she got tired of it. Even Lastat knew he shouldn't have done it because in the book he begged them not to kill her because it was his fault.

  • how? i bet that you can't explain why in coherent thoughts. if you read the book you would understand her. or you have and are a cold calculating bastard.

  • To this day, i cannot watch the scene where Claudia cuts Lestat's throat - when he's bleeding on the carpet. I can't even read that portion of the book. Of all the vampires, I'm glad Claudia died in such a manner

  • i cant either. nor the part in the theatre of vampires where they strip that girl. i hate claudia and her little black heart.

  • i actually have sympathy for claudia, because she's basically an adult in a child's body....i understand why she did what she did w/ the women from the window..she was so young when she was turned..but she would be stuck like that forever..never moving forward..:( always a child

  • i sorta regret sayin what i did, because now that ive read the series ans i see how much Lestat really loved Claudia, I really can't hate her. its just, in the movie, they made her seem so...... ugh. cruel. well, she was cruel. but still, like, movies ruin everything. But IWTV was real close to the book. i lost my point......

  • but you still gotta love the series .. :)

  • oh I do. belive me. Anne Rice is a literature GENIOUS! (I really hat it when people call her Anna Rice! dont you?)

  • YeaH!!!

    I hate it too

    xDDD

    jajaj

  • movies do ruin everything but when i fries started reading thie series and i thought lestat was evil then iread the rest and found out louis was a liar but i still love him...hate claudia though, i mean in merrik she wrote that she only needed louis to protect her and that she didnt love him

  • I know i just got done readin that a couple weeks back and now i can really say I hate her and her black little heart.....

  • Read The Vampire Armand, you get to find out about how ste tried to get out of that body

  • Comment removed

  • lestat is cute!

  • Comment removed

  • You do realize that Anne Rice her self thought Tom Cruise did a very good job with Lestat? She actually told him personally that he was an awesome Lestat because he stuck to the orignal theme of Lestat, which isn't the one in Queen of the Damned.

  • no she didnt she protested against him playing the role as he is nothing like lestat,but tom cruise aprotched the director for the role and he was very big at the time he ignored anne. But it is very true he does stick to the character quite well.

  • Ok, I'm on my boyfriends account, ut seriously, this is the ONLY movie i've EVER thought that Tom looked good in, I mean, I think he's sexy in it to boot.

  • i know same! he does look rather nice :)

  • TOM CRUISE IS NOT STUPID!!!!!!!! stuart townsend is a queer

  • ...You do realise that makes him better suited to the part? I prefer Tom Cruise by far, but it's simply the fact you're using queer as an insult. In the books, Lestat is, how shall I put this, very queer. He even tells Louis he's in love with him. You can check if you want. No disrespect intended. I just found it a little ironic the insult you decided to use, considering the context.

  • I have read the books more times than i can count. do you notice that i said TOWNSEND was a queer not his character. im not tryin to fight, sooo, no bs, right? its okay?

  • I didn't mean anything by it. I wasn't trying to fight either. I just thought it was odd you used queer as an insult...

  • the whole "queer" symbology of it is pretty ironic, not to mention really funny, especially after reading all these comments! LOL :P

  • Lestat is bi in the books, but the vampires aren't really interestedun sex, blood drinking takes it's place (apart from in tale of te bdy thei, but tha doen'treall count)

  • AWESOME! It was like it was written for this. Love it

  • liked it. Drastically different than the mood of the movie, which in my humble opinion was a work of art. but still highly enjoyable, if you're in the right mood - angry, dark and in love.

  • Love it !!! Lestat is yummy.

  • Oh I love Louis and Lestat. Loved the video! Nice job!

  • This video is awesome. Loved it!

  • Personal opinion: Louis could NOT be just like Lestat. It's just not in him. Excluding just after Claudia's death, Louis is a wimp. In the books he even refuses to drink Maharet's blood to get stronger. He's just not capable of Lestat.

    Great Video anyway. Very well made.

  • I first watched this a while ago and found it again today. I can honestly say this song has become one of my favorites and every time I hear it I think of this clip. Perfect choice!

  • I LOVE this. Great song, fits perfectly, and best movie ever.

  • interview with the vampire is my favorite movie

  • i hate crazy cruise but i think he was great as Lestat. i read the books and i think he nailed him perfectly.

  • What?! lol

    I looove Tom Cruise! He's awsome, not just as Lestat<3 but regardless.

  • Read the book, you idiots. You religiously defend the movie, but it was horrid compared to the book. The casting was atrocious, the story was botched!

  • Oh come on now. I read the book and thought it kicked ass too, but the movie had incredible atmosphere and was as true as they could make it without making it 6 hours long. Don't forget Anne Rice herself wrote the screen play. If you want a true abomination try Queen of the Damned.

  • very, very true. I kept saying "That's not right!" or "It was different in the book!" every three seconds....

  • cool video, the song makes alot of sense for lois <3

  • BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!

    el video esta chido,

    la kaga la rola... demaciado cursi y fresona

  • You know, people talk about how good Cruise was and I'll grant he was; he just doesn't LOOK like Lestat. I always pictured Julian Sands as Lestat, personally, or Jonathan Rhys Meyers (he was great as Steerpike in Gormenghast and that was SUCH a Lestat role!).

  • When people read the book EVERYONE pictures them differantly. I picture them with differant hair and facial expressions/attitudes but its never the same when they make a movie. :( I understand your disappointment. It was the axact same way as Twilight. I read the series and now the are making a movie of it this spring and they chose TERRIBLE charactors. But I only think that because I pictured them differantly or just plain better XP Oh well...I geuss we cant have it all.

  • I guess so and the books are better anyway, but unfortunately I'm not a Twilight fan so that's a different matter to me. I get what you mean, though.

  • I must admit they mak hot vampires.

  • i believe anne rice wasnt fund of tom cruise as her lestat. but for me i think he nailed it both he and brad pitt they are exactly how i imagined louis adnd lestat. speacially if you read the books

  • actually when she heard that tom cruise was going to play lestat she was dissappointed. but after watching it she thought he did a perfect job of portraying him.
