Cut scene from Interview with the Vampire, storyboards by Martin Asbury
Tag Archives: script
CLAUDIA He belongs with those reptiles, Louis. He deserved to die. LOUIS Then maybe so do we. Every night of our lives. He was my brother. My maker. He gave me this life, whatever it is. CLAUDIA I did it for us, Louis. So we could be free. He stands there, saying nothing. CLAUDIA Louis, look at me. LOUIS (bitterly) I can't. Go away from me. Claudia is shocked to her core. She steps back. Louis stares at the rippling waters. Gradually the movement of alligators stops. Then he hears a sound he hasn't heard in years. Soft, choking. He turns, sees Claudia sitting by a cypress tree, like a little girl for the first time in years. She is weeping copiously. LOUIS Claudia - You're crying - We see her face, tears of blood running down it. She is heartbroken, lost. CLAUDIA You never talked to me like that - in all these years. LOUIS And you never cried - CLAUDIA I can't bear it when you do - I would die rather than lose you Louis. I would die the way he died. Louis gathers her in his arms. LOUIS Hush, Claudia, hush now my dear - CLAUDIA Tell me you don't hate me Louis. I did it for you - Louis walks her towards the carriage. LOUIS I love you Claudia. Always. And we are free now, Claudia. No Lestat. Just the two of us, beginning the great adventure of our lives.
Interview with the Vampire: A deleted Scene!!
So in the original script there was an extended scene when Lestat enters Louis’s bedroom. Before the invitation, Louis threatens Lestat with not only a gun but also a sword.
where are these I wants deleted scenes zomg…
It might never have been shot in the first place, though I’ll bet there’s material shot that we never saw. It drives me crazy…
Such sad that it may never have been shot in the first place… and/or was included with material we never saw… since AR wrote the script, I do think she wanted to keep as true to the characters as possible, I consider the script to be worth a read for this reason.
I found the scene, it was good, I can see why they didn’t include it, maybe to keep more mystery at that point… anyway, the script’s here, or you can check out a piece of this scene we’re talking about in my post here:

Deleted(/unfilmed?) scene from Interview with the Vampire
From a version of the script of Interview with the Vampire:
…Louis grabs his pistol from the table and cocks it.
LOUIS:
Who the hell are you? What are you
doing in my house?
LESTAT:
And a beautiful house it is too.
Yours is a good life, isn’t it?
Louis takes aim. Lestat puts his hand over the barrel.
Louis fires. The bullet tears a hole in Lestat’s hand.
Lestat is unfazed. He takes the gun from Louis’ hand
and throws it away. His hand begins to heal.
LESTAT:
You’re not afraid of anything, are
you?
LOUIS:
Why should I be?
Louis reaches for his sword, hanging by the bed, and
point it. Lestat laughs indulgently. He draws closer.
LESTAT:
Are you going to put that through
me too? Ruin my beautiful clothes?
He comes closer to Louis, right up to his face, so the
sword passes through his waistcoat.
LESTAT:
Were all last night’s promises for
nothing?
He reaches out with his now-healed hand and plucks out
the sword.
LOUIS:
What do you want from me?
LESTAT:
I’ve come to answer your prayers.
You want to die, don’t you? Life
has no meaning anymore, does it?
Lestat sits down on the bed, drawing up one knee. Louis
is becoming spellbound.
LESTAT:
The wine has no taste. The food
sickens you. There seems no reason
for any of it, does there? But what
if I could give it back to you?
Pluck out the pain and give you
another life? And it would be for
all time? And sickness and death
could never touch you again?
The vampire theme rises, with the sound of a heartbeat.
DISSOLVE…
