‘The Mysterious Case of Benjamin Button’ actor Brad Pitt has been in Hollywood for a very long time now. He is one of the most established actors in the industry. Brad Pitt started his career with small roles in various movies. With his performance in the movie ‘Interview with the Vampire’, the actor went on to establish himself in the industry.
But not every role is according to the liking of the actor and sometimes you need to sacrifice your liking to get the real effect of the movie. And that was the case for Pitt in the movie ‘Interview with the Vampire’. Here’s more about what really happened during the shooting of this vampire movie that played with the psyche of the actor.
Brad Pitt Had To Shoot In Darkness For Three Months
The 59 -year-old actor, Brad Pitt appeared in ‘Interview with the Vampire’ alongside Tom Cruise and Kristen Dunst. The movie was based on the book of the same name by Ann Rice. “Vampire was a tough shoot. I finished ‘Legends of the Fall’ and went straight into that. First of all, the whole thing was in the dark. In New Orleans, we shot for three months in the dark – we shot all nights,” the actor recounted his experience during the making of the film.
“There’s an opening scene in the movie that’s daylight, and that’s it. The whole movie is in the dark. And it really started to mess with my psyche,” Brad Pitt added. It was the role of Louise de Pointe that Pitt played in the film. And Tom Cruise portrayed the role of Lestat de Lioncourt.

Brad Pitt Knew The Movie By Reading The Book
The ‘Fight Club’ actor Brad Pitt hadn’t been given the script just until two weeks before the shooting started. “There was no script. I knew the book, and in the book you have this guy asking, ‘Who am I?’ Which was probably applicable to me at that time. ‘Am I good? Am I of the angels?’”
“In the book, it is a guy going on this search of discovery. And in the meantime, he has this Lestat character that he’s entranced by and abhors. But then I got the script two weeks before we started shooting,” Pitt shared.
