IWTV movie(1994)

 >1. how they managed to remove every ounce of erotic energy the novel
 >contains from the screenplay

i think they whitewashed over that to not lose the non-ricean fans,
since most of the erotism was male-male.

 >2. that they turned Armand into a man

i agree, very stupid... Antonio was in no way a pretty boy of 18/19...


 >4. how the character of Lestat was ruined by Tom Cruise's
"performance"

I liked what he did, he could of done more, i dont think he pushed it
enuff, but he was LIGHTYEARS ahead of Stuart Townsend, at least Tom had
a clue and was going in the right direction.

I agree...I think the movie would have lost a huge part of its audience
had it been as erotically charged as the books. Sad but true.

Not to mention his stature and hair color were also way off... =\

Yes...Even though after I read the book (saw the IWTV movie first) I
felt that Tom stayed true to how Lestat felt during the time he spent
with Loius and Claudia. Stuart is hot as a vampire, but he is no Lestat.

I liked the IWTV movie. All the charactors were good. Armand was the only
charactor that did not have the "right look". Other than that I was happy
with it.

Wait a second. Armand makes Daniel a vampire in QOTD. I think Daniel was
dying with a brain tumor when Armand does this. Lestat makes David a
vampire in TOTBT. So, yes Lestat turns David in to a vampire. Bye for
now,
