INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE (1994) d. Neil Jordan (USA)

Anne Rice's celebrated novel, originally published in 1976, took nearly two decades to make it to the big screen. When it finally arrived, amidst a wave of controversy over its casting of Tom Cruise in the pivotal role of Lestat, INTERVIEW fared well with critics and boosted the profiles of co-stars Brad Pitt, Antonio Banderas, and 11-year-old Kirsten Dunst as the eternally young and brutal killer Claudia.

Tonight, join AC and his celebrated panel of vampire aficionados (Jess Ader, Chad Hawks, Ian Simmons, Bobby Zier) as we return to the land of Louis and his cohorts to honor the 30th anniversary of this remarkable feature.
