The difficulties they faced were the same as any other movie. They had to deal with the atmosphere and setting of 18th century France . They also had to deal with making a movie long in length . No matter how much research they did into the location and period, they still had no idea how to best tell the story of Louis’ first years as a vampire , even though they had a script. The final product was a very artistic movie with no one speaking in real time in the film .

The antagonist is diseases. Disease had killed Louis’ wife and daughter when he was a human.

The motives are to explore how Louis feels about being a vampire and how he deals with it but also explore how Lestat and Claudia deal with it .
