Fans have been hoping for a director’s cut of the movie for years. The deleted scenes included in the Blu-ray might be as close as we ever come to that dream coming true. For now, at least.
Published by Anne Rice in 1976, Interview with the Vampire became a massive hit in literary circles and paved the foundation for Rice’s Vampire Chronicles. The movie premiered in 1994 and featured Tom Cruise as Lestat, Brad Pitt as Louis, Christian Slater as Daniel Molloy, Antonio Banderas as Armand and a young Kiersten Dunst as Claudia. Rice wrote the screenplay and FX guru Stan Winston was responsible for the vampires’ otherworldly appearance.
Here’s the synopsis of the movie from the packaging: “Against the backdrop of a gloomy San Francisco, the nearly two-century-old vampire, Louis de Pointe du Lac, recounts the unbelievable story of his eternal transformation and a life worse than death to the sceptic reporter, Daniel Molloy. Spanning two hundred years of cruel betrayals, extreme solitude, and unquenched thirst, Louis’ grimly fascinating tale pivots around his perpetually regrettable decision to embrace the dictatorship of blood, and, above all, his maker: the seductive blonde aristocrat of death, Lestat de Lioncourt. Is Louis’ mystical epic of bloodshed genuine? Is this, indeed, an interview with a vampire?”

I have contacted Warner Brothers for YEARS about it!! Most of the time, they would INGORE you. I even said “Perhaps we should go to Tom Cruise about it”! It shouldn’t have to take OVER 30 Years, to Release the Uncut Version! No Excuse. And I have seen, MANY Websites, Comments, Other Fans asking and wanting the same thing, for YEARS!!!
It is about Fricken dang time!
I can’t wait to FINALLY, FINALLY, FINALLY, FINALLY, FINALLY,See the Deleted Scenes!! Hopefully, they have ALL of them! For Pics & that I have seen online, for over 10 years!!
Yet, Didn’t take them long, to Make and Release the “Queen of the Shit” Trash, with the Deleted Scenes there! Can’t stand that Shit!
As Lestat, it’s Tom Cruise or NO ONE! And that Is EVER as well as Final! Watch “Rock of Ages” if you don’t believe it.
Only good thing, about “Queen of the Shit” Was Aaliyah. Otherwise, beyond Trash! Just like that Shitty TV series. What a Joke!
