Interview With The Vampire (1994)
Watching this again to compare with the series, finally showing here. After years in development hell and all the grumbling about casting Tom Cruise, this came out really well. Quite a bit of streamlining, but the essential conflicts and emotional connections hit and the style, romantic and spectacular and at times darkly comedic, works. (Up until the last couple of minutes anyway.)
Compared to the series note Lestat’s move on Louis being far less planned and his life being briefly sketched in, and the not-quite-kisses - the ecstatic first bite bringing them up into the air is fully clothed in the film and recreated naked in the show.
Gameability: Well...
The medium: a special edition DVD with a behind the scenes featurette partially from the time and partially for the release with director Neil Jordan also providing a commentary track, noting changes from the novel and details like a local voodoo group working on the enslaved uprising and even the interior sets that aren’t tombs being influenced by mausoleum decoration.
