Brad Pitt has described the filming of Interview with the Vampire as a "miserable" experience.

The Tree of Life actor recalled being demoralised by the physical challenges of the 1994 fantasy drama, further dismissing his iconic character Louis de Pointe du Lac as a "bitch role".

"I am miserable [in the film]," he told Entertainment Weekly. "Six months in the f**king dark. Contact lenses, make-up, I'm playing the bitch role."

Asked why he chose to finish production of the film, Pitt explained: "One day, it broke me… I called David Geffen, who was a producer… I said, 'David, I can't do this anymore. I can't do it. How much will it take to get me out?' And he goes, very calmly, '40 million dollars'."

Pitt also hinted that he may reunite with longterm partner Angelina Jolie on screen, despite their self-imposed ban on working together again after 2005's Mr & Mrs Smith.

"That's what we should be doing," he said. "We should be doing everything together, and then we could work less. We could have more time off."
