Summary:Wind is howling through the canyons of high-rises in midtown, the sound noticeable and nerve-racking as Neil Jordan is interviewed about "Interview With the Vampire." The 44-year-old director was still basking in the afterglow of his 1992 smash, "The Crying Game," which netted Jordan the Academy Award for best original screenplay, when producer David Geffen came along and asked him to consider directing "Interview With the Vampire." Jordan had two flops between his acclaimed 1986 movie "Mona Lisa" and "The Crying Game." He directed "High Spirits," a 1988 comedy with Daryl Hannah and Peter O'Toole, but the producer edited the movie without Jordan's consent and the film bombed. Then came "We're No Angels," an odd movie starring Robert De Niro that never found an audience.
