'V Tuesday, November 15, 1994 CAMPUS Vampire' leaves viewers thirsty for more By Draeger Martinez Since the film industry's be¬ ginnings, studios have often turned to the more rarefied at¬ mosphere of books for Inspira¬ tion. Sometimes adapting a novel yielded great fruit ("Gone with the Wind," "Trie Godfather"), sometimes not (most flicks taken from Stephen King stories), but with each adaptation, a paradoxi¬ cal pair of questions arise: Has the film stayed true to die book? And how well does the movie perforin on its own as an artistic endeavorf VVhenamoviehasbeenhyped as much as "Interview with a Vampire" has, it might well fail to reach the impossibly high ex¬ pectations some viewers will have for it. Based on the hugely popular Anne Rice novel, and taken from her screenplay of the story, "Interview" deviates from ' the book in some mostly superfi¬ cial ways, yet holds together nicely. The film's story is framed around an extended interview conducted by a young isan Fran¬ cisco freelance reporter named Malioy (Christian Slater) of the regal Louis (Brad Pitt), but most of the story comes from Louis' memories of his lite and his "life- in-death." . He had been the young mas¬ ter of a Louisiana plantation in the 1790s, 'despondent over the death of his wife and child and pondering suicide. His ennui caught die attention of Lestat (Tom Cruise), a decadent peer whooffershim"thechoiceInever had": death or entry into the dar¬ kling fellowship. Choosing die latter, Louis wrestles with the demands of his new nature, struggling with limited success not to take human lite. Louis's craving for under¬ standing about his vampiracy drives him almost as greatiy as does his thirst for blood. He pes¬ ters Lestat for serious answers to See Vampire, Page 5 Gotta beef?
