Tom Cruise refused to return for the 'Interview with the Vampire' sequel.
The 62-year-old actor starred in the 1994 horror picture – which is based on the 1976 Anne Rice novel of the same name - as the blood-sucking Lestat de Lioncourt, and director Neil Jordan has now revealed that a follow-up to the movie was shelved after Cruise ruled out reprising his role for another film.
