Hey Em. I would definitely READ the novels first. There was a movie based on the first book called "Interview With the Vampire." It starred Tom Cruise as Lestat and Brad Pitt as Louis. A real five year old wouldn't have been able to pull off the part of Claudia...so she was aged to around 10-12 years old and was played by Kristen Dunst. The movie was made back in 1994...All the actors, especially Cruise did a FANTASTIC job. Years later they made another movie based upon the Vampire Chronicles...but they went out of order and skipped ahead to a newer book. It was called QUEEN OF THE DAMNED...and it was bloody awful. Skip this movie entirely...it was NOTHING like the book...and it would only confuse you. The story, the plot, the characters were all changed and readapted for the movie. I READ "QUEEN OF THE DAMNED" and it was a wonderful book....but I'd also read the book that the movies skipped (The Vampire Lestat). But even with reading the books...I had NO idea what was going on in the film version of QUEEN OF THE DAMNED since they had changed it so much.
