Quotes:
|
-
Lestat: Your body's dying. Pay no attention.
-
Lestat: God, I swear you grow more like Louis each day. Then you'll be eating rats!
Claudia: Rats? When did you eat rats Louis?
Louis: It was a long, long time ago. Before you were born, and I don't recommend them.
-
Lestat: Evildoers are easier, and they taste better.
-
Claudia: Madeleine, Louis is shy.
Madeleine: Drink.
Claudia: Do it Louis, because I cannot, I haven't the strength. You saw to that when you made me.
Louis: You haven't the vaguest conception under God what you ask.
Madeleine: En contraire Monsieur, I have.
Claudia: You have found your new companion Louis, You will make me mine!
-
Claudia: One lesson you taught me. Never drink from the dead.

Trivia:
|
- 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.
- Christina Ricci auditioned for the role of Claudia.
- 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.
- Many buildings and street lights were darkened for the filming by agreement with the companies and the city. The set was immediately torn down after the filming.. The Victorian house that inspired Anne Rice's novel on which this film is based is located at 503 Divisadero Street near Alamo Square in San Francisco.
