'Interview With the Vampire' Director Officially Reveals Why Louis and Lestat’s Relationship Didn't Need to Be More Explicit [Exclusive]

There’s not exactly much subtlety about the relationship between Louis and Lestat in Interview with the Vampire. The pair spend much of the film essentially in the roles of an immortal married couple whose relationship has become catastrophically dysfunctional. It's basically The War of the Roses, except it lasts for centuries. Throw in a vampire child into the equation, and you'll need more than a good lawyer and family therapy. The cast of Interview With the Vampire is led by Brad Pitt (Fight Club) as Louis and Tom Cruise (Mission: Impossible) as Lestat. Kirsten Dunst(Spider-Man) stars as Claudia, alongside Antonio Banderas (The Mask of Zorro) as Armand, Stephen Rea (The Crying Game) as Santiago, Christian Slater (True Romance) as Daniel Malloy, and Thandiwe Newton (Westworld) as Yvette
