Quotes:
|
-
Lestat: Your body's dying. Pay no attention.
-
Lestat: Evil is a point of view. God kills indiscriminately and so shall we. For no creatures under God are as we are, none so like him as ourselves.
-
Lestat: Evildoers are easier, and they taste better.
-
Claudia: One lesson you taught me. Never drink from the dead.
-
Louis: Vampires pretending to be humans, pretending to be vampires.
Claudia: How avant-garde!

Trivia:
|
- Johnny Depp was offered the role of Lestat.
- Christina Ricci auditioned for the role of Claudia.
- Author Anne Rice wrote the part of Lestat with Rutger Hauer in mind. Upon learning that Tom Cruise had been cast, she was quite disappointed and expressed concern that Cruise could not carry the part. After attending a screening, Rice wrote a letter of apology, quite pleased with Cruise's portrayal.
- 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.
- Stephen Rea (Santiago) makes regular appearances in Neil Jordan's films.
