Tom Cruise Rarely Engages in Sequels, but There’s Allegedly One Film His Co-Star Was Surprised Didn’t Receive a Continuation Uncategorized doly — April 29, 2024 · 0 Comment “He did bite me at the end…” Unless we are talking about Mission: Impossible–M:I 8 is currently filming or the long-delayed Top Gun: Maverick–Tom Cruise isn’t known for making very many sequels to his flicks. But, according to one former cast member, there is one film in his oeuvre that he is shocked never got a follow-up. The former cast member in question is Christian Slater, who co-starred along with Cruise and Brad Pitt in one of the best films of the 90s, the film adaptation of Anne Rice’s novel Interview With The Vampire. According to the Heathers alum, he’s shocked that he and the Risky Business star never got a second bite at the neck, playing a vampire in a sequel.Christian Slater Reflects on The Missed Sequel OpportunityIt’s hard to believe it’s been nearly three decades–the movie turns 30 this year–since we were first mesmerized by one of the most iconic vampire performances on screen. In an interview shared on Comicbook.com’s Chris Killian’s Instagram, Christian Slater discussed how he and Cruise were reflecting on the project. The pair expressed a mutual astonishment over the movie’s lack of a sequel despite their roles becoming fan favorites. He recounted:Tom Cruise and I were both surprised that Interview With The Vampire didn’t get a sequel. You know, that would have been fun. Uh, I mean, he did bite me at the end of that thing.For my money, even three decades since its release, Interview With The Vampire is still one of the best vampire movies ever committed to celluloid. Upon release, it was a critical and financial success, becoming one of the highest-grossing R-rated horror films of 1994, and grew to become a goth cult favorite. Not to mention, it introduced the broader world to actress Kirsten Dunst, a role Cruise helped the young actress secure thanks to some very practical advice. Tom Cruise Top Gun Top Gun: Maverick
