I do have to say that the film was impeccable. It was almost true to the book, but like anything, I do pick it apart regarding what was different.
Louis is described as having black hair and green eyes, Brad has auburn hair and blue eyes
Lestat was perfect
Claudia was too old
Armand was supposed to have auburn hair, brown eyes and be aged about 16, Antonio is NOT 16ish, has black hair and brown eyes.
Other than that it was a pretty accurate interpretation; perhaps because Anne herself was present everyday on set to make it as true to her work as possible.

Here is what Director Neil Jordan, Author Anne Rice, and Actors Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt had to say about Interview with the Vampire...
--:--
It's about lonely people, and I think everybody can relate to loneliness. There are only so many vampires in the world and they get terribly lonely because of the awful choice they've made, you know. The main effect it has on them is that their isolation is extreme. I enjoyed the three of them - the vampires - as a family, with Brad as the mother, Tom as the father and Kirsten as the child, you know, but that' just my own view.
Neil Jordan
--:--
I loved the film from start to finish, and I found myself deeply impressed by every aspect of its making... The charm, the humor and the invincible innocence of my beloved hero Lestat are all alive in Tom Cruise's courageous performance; the guilt and suffering of Louis are poignantly portrayed by Brad Pitt.
Anne Rice
--:--
I hated doing this movie. Hated it. I loved watching it. Completely hated doing it. My character is depressed from the beginning to the end. Five and a half months of that is too much.
Brad Pitt
--:--
I think it's erotic on many different levels. David Geffen is gay and he said he found it very homo-erotic but said the women he knew didn't find it so. It's just very sexy and very erotic and it's not something we steered away from...
Tom Cruise
--:--
By the way did you know that Brad Pitt's real name is actually William Bradley Pitt?

VD:
Yeah I knew that Brad goes by his middle name =) I used to be slightly obsessed with him, after I saw IwtV and Legends of the Fall, which is an amazing movie that I highly recommend.
