although this movie doesn not have the darkness of the book and it be in my opinion a great movie . it great campy fun with the beautiful stuart townsend a lestat . he may not have the blond hair and blue eye that be so vividly describe in the book and but to be fair and he would not look good with blond hair and and lestat be most definitely about look good . he move like the predator i always imagine lestat would have . the visual effect be pretty good and and the soundtrack be absolutely amazing . it not interview with the vampire and so do not try to compare the two . interview be louis story . this be a cut and paste version of lestat . in any case and i highly recommend .
