“Oh, they hated him. Anne Rice found it perplexing. As did Brad Pitt, actually. Everybody wanted Daniel – though I imagine he didn’t want to sleep in a coffin for preparation. I’ve always thought he’s a great actor, but his life is also not unlike the life of a vampire, you know what I mean?
Famous people don’t want to go out into an unmediated space. They have to control who they meet and how they meet them. They have to control their image. It’s almost like they live in a spectral kind of world. Just as an analogy, that made sense to me. So we agreed to do the film together, and then everybody got really angry.”
During an interview, Neil Jordan, the director ofInterview with the Vampireshared that neither the original novelist Anne Rice nor the lead actor Brad Pitt entertained the fact of Tom Cruise’s involvement in the movie. Especially since Cruise replaced the star actor in the industry, Daniel Day-Lewis. Jordan went on to add that Rice conveyed her strong feelings against the cast of Cruise and deemed Jordan’s decision perplexing. Moreover, Brad Pitt was under the impression that he will be starring alongside the Oscar awardee, instead, he got the man who hangs from a plane.
