In the movie adaptation of the novel the vampire Lestat (Tom Cruise) has taken Louis (Brad Pitt) and turned him into a vampire. Together the two of them make their way through the centuries as vampires until the point at which 'the interview' takes place. Louis has met a young man, Daniel Molloy (Christian Slater), in whom has taken an interest. After meeting him he brings him to a hotel room to interview him and ends up telling him the entire story of his life. We soon learn that Louis and Lestat have had a life together as vampires for hundreds of years, including at one point turning a child, Claudia (Kirsten Dunst), into a vampire, forcing her to live out eternity as a child. The story of their existence is filled with blood, anger, passion, boredom and intrigue as they struggle with the reality of their immortality.
