Cruise Back to Bloodsucking?
A rumor has surfaced claiming Tom Cruise will revisit the world of Rice. According to Bloody-Disgusting.com, United Artists is in negotiations to secure the rights to Anne Rice's, The Tale of the Body Thief, her fourth book in the "Vampire Chronicles" series. As UA is owned by Cruise, it stands that that he would be the first in line to bring back Lestat.
After a lukewarm reception from Lions for Lambs which has earned a mere $13,795,571 to date, Interview with a Vampire boasts $105,265,000. Sounds like a pretty safe bet.
Interview with a Vampire was loved by both Cruise and Rice fans alike. Might we see a return of Brad Pitt or Antonio Banderas? Only time will tell.

thats cool! vampire was a great flick. hopefully they wont pull a "queen of the damned" on this one. but with cruise(and possibly pitt and banderas) attached, i doubt that will happen. should be good. hope it goes forward.

I hope this is true. He's a love to hate actor and Lestat is a love to hate character. It works well.

I'd wish they'd remake Queen of the Damned with Tom Cruise

"Interview..." is by far my favorite vampire movie.
it gave vampirism that "real" feel, instead of that campy sh*t that hollywood loves. It'd be hard to watch a sequel though without Pitt in it.
