Trivia:
|
- Stephen Rea (Santiago) makes regular appearances in Neil Jordan's films.
- Tom Cruise was placed on an elevated platform during some scenes to reduce the height difference between his character and other vampires.
- The scenes set on the riverfront in New Orleans (including the infamous "Chat Noir") were filmed on a false front built on the levee downriver from the actual French Quarter. The entire set was constructed around the old section of Jackson Barracks, a National Guard post.
- Johnny Depp was offered the role of Lestat.
- The river scenes were done by removing such modern items as the Greater New Orleans Bridge and radio towers and replacing them with 18th century sailing vessels in post-production.
