author anne rice adapted her 1976 novel "interview with the vampire" into a screenplay with french actor alain delon in mind for the role of louis. later on, when "interview" entered the casting stage, british actor julian sands was championed by anne rice and fans of the novel to play lestat, but because sands was not a well-known name at the time (being only famed for his performance in "a room with a view"), he was rejected and the role was given to tom cruise. because of his star power, cruise received a record $10 million salary and a percentage of the profits. the casting was initially criticized by anne rice, who said that cruise was "no more my vampire lestat than edward g. robinson is rhett butler", and the casting was "so bizarre; it's almost impossible to imagine how it's going to work". she recommended a number of other actors including john malkovich, peter weller, jeremy irons, and alexander godunov. she suggested that brad pitt and tom cruise switch roles, stating that "i tried for a long time to tell them that they should just reverse these roles–have brad pitt play lestat and have tom cruise play louis. of course, they don't listen to me."
