Continuity mistake: In the scene where Louis is transforming into a vampire, he finally stops crawling around and lies on the ground. There are two leaves in his hair on either side of his head. We then see a shot of Lestat and then back to Louis and the leaves are gone. (00:13:40)

Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Neil Jordan
Starring: Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Antonio Banderas, Christian Slater, Kirsten Dunst, John McConnell, Virginia McCollam
After the interview, Malloy (Slater) tries to persuade Louis (Pitt) to give him his blood so he may become a vampire as well. Louis intimidates Malloy, asking him if his story of pain and suffering was not enough to persuade him, then holds him by his throat to the ceiling before disappearing.Malloy hops into his car and drives off, listening to the tape of the interview when he is pulled into the backseat and bitten by Lestat (Cruise) who finally recovers completely thanks to Malloy's blood. Ejecting the tape, he weaves his web of deceit on Malloy, giving him the same offer he made to Louis centuries earlier...

Lestat: Listen, Louis. There's life in these old hands still. Not quite Furioso. Moderato? Cantabile, perhaps.
Claudia: How can it be?
Lestat: Ask the alligator. His blood helped. Then on a diet of the blood of snakes, toads, and all the putrid life of the Mississippi, slowly, Lestat became something like himself again. Claudia... You've been a very, very, naughty little girl.
Trivia: At 5'7, Tom Cruise was shorter than Lestat de Lioncourt (the character he played), who towered over the characters in the book version. Cruise was placed on elevated platforms to emphasize Lestat's height difference from the other vampires.

Answer: Rice pronounces it something like "Luh-stot", although even she wavers occasionally. Standard French convention would certainly suggest that the final 't' should be a silent one, but, as Lestat would be deeply insulted to be considered conventional, it's highly likely that he wouldn't choose to go along with that.
