I'm not really sure how many of you are fans of ther series or have even seen the movies. But my question is would you like to see both movies re-made?
Did the movies out live of up to what you had hope for or not?
What would you have changed or liked to see?

Personally I was alittle disappoint. I was more disappointed in queen of the damned more so then Interview with a Vampire because I didn't find the story was fully meet and understood. As well I didn't like the casting and characterization of Lestat.

As anyone knows, creating a film from a book is not an easy task and rarely does it justice. You just have to work with what you can and usually, the final reel is completely different than the book. They might try continuing with the rest of the chronicles; I would prefer that instead od remakes.

Interview with a Vampire is one of my favorite films, but that was before I ended up reading the book. It was amusingly enough, the last book I read in her collection so I had a little problem. Queen of the damned was just bad in my opinion, and that isn't even in comparison to the book. I didn't care for the actors, the music, nor special effects.

Books = Good/ Movie= Bad

I prefer Tom Cruise as Lestat and Brad Pitt as Louis so a re-make is out of the question.

hmm.. I have to agree. It is harder to make a good a movie when the book is hard to live up to. I guess it's all you can do. I would like to see another interpretation of it though, I think it would be interesting to see.
