Enter My World....

~J'aime Vous Mon Ange~

"Love is the ghost haunting your
head
Love is the killer you thought was
your friend
Love is the creature who lives in the dark 

Sneaks up, will stick you and painfully pick you apart
                                                    
Love is the leech sucking you up
Love is a vampire drunk on your blood
Love is the beast that will tear out your heart

Hungrily lick it and painfully pick it apart"

The movie is not suppose to be a sequel, which some claim is the reason
they're skipping TVL all together. Everything is new - Geffen is not
producing it, Neil Jordan has nothing to do with it. It's likely that the
actors in Interview would probably not want to take part in this film even
if they were asked.

There's also the factor of money. Looks like the budget is smaller. They
couldn't pay for an all-star cast. If they got Tom, they'd have to make it
a one man show with some high school kids designing the stage props ;)
Might make it a better movie, actually. Plus all the actors have aged
quite a bit since then. Christian Slater, who was the youngest of the cast
then, is now well into his thirties.

Because it would cost you around $100 million in salaries. Both
Cruise and Pitt are between 20 and 30 million each now, Banderas
is over $10 million. Then a cast of at least several hundred
extras and ten other supporting actors and so forth. When Pitt
play Louis he was getting under one million, as was Banderas.
Dunst got scale, Slater did it for around 175,000 and donated
that to a River Pheonix memorial fund. The budget for QofD is
supposedly around 30 million for the entire picture, Interview
had a budget of around 55 million six years ago. The QofD
production is a very middle of the road affair in terms of film
budgets.

Exactly. Why get expensive, over-paid, UN-qualified (too old) actors?
