Interesting fact:

Oprah Winfrey famously walked out of the premiere of “Interview with the Vampire” during the first reel—she was disgusted by the film. Can you imagine Tom Hanks as a vampire? Anne Rice, author of the book and the film's screenwriter, met with Hanks to take the part of Lestat de Lioncourt after seeing his Oscar-winning performance in “Philadelphia,” but he turned down the part to star in “Forrest Gump.”
