Queen of the Damned is a 2002 Dark Fantasy film directed by Michael Rymer. Based on the third installment of Anne Rice's The Vampire Chronicles, it is a sequel of sorts to the 1994 film Interview with the Vampire. Unlike its predecessor, though, this film plays very fast and loose with the events of the original novel.The story begins when the Vampire Lestat (Stuart Townsend) awakens after decades of slumber, and decides to launch a career as the frontman of a Nu Metal band. He soon achieves international stardom, but also earns the wrath of his vampire brethren, who despise him for flaunting his vampiric status, and fear the exposure of their secret world. Yet Lestat's music also awakens a far more potent threat — the ancient Egyptian vampire queen Akasha (Aaliyah, in her second and final film appearance, released posthumously), who promptly embarks on a murderous rampage, mowing down humans and vampires alike in her ascent to power. She chooses Lestat as her new consort, and forces him to become an accomplice in her brutal massacre of humankind. It is down to a handful of friendly-ish neighbourhood vampires — including Lestat's maker, Marius (Vincent Perez) — and student of the paranormal, Jessica "Jesse" Reeves (Marguerite Moreau) to rescue Lestat — and, you know, save the world. | |

Age Lift | |
| Queen of the Damned / int_121b3725 | comment |
Age Lift: The character of David Talbot, the Superior General of the Talamasca Caste, a paranormal research society, is played by the (then) 42-year-old Paul McGann. However, in the novel, he is in his 80s and is nearing the end of his long and full life. Ditto for Jessie Reeves, played by Marguerite Moreau (24 at the time), who is supposed to be 35 in the novel, although this can also fit under Hollywood Old. | |

Never Trust a Trailer: Trailers for the film — and even the title — imply Akasha to be the central character. It's actually Lestat. Not only does Akasha's total screentime add up to about twenty minutes, her only purpose is to tempt Lestat into being evil. | |

Hollywood Old | |
| Queen of the Damned / int_3322e9cd | comment |
Hollywood Old: David is either this or a reverse Age Lift. The character was actually old in the books, but in the film is played by Paul McGann, who was about forty years old at the time. The script doesn't make too much of whatever age he's intended to be, but he does claim to be "too old to live forever".note Honestly, if you looked as good as he does at his age, you'd probably think it's as good a time as any to turn into a vampire, if that was the sort of thing you wanted to do. On the other hand, Who Wants to Live Forever? | |

Adapted Out: This film is much more liberal with the axe than its predecessor. Louis and Nicolas are both entirely absent, despite being Lestat's love interests and, especially in Nicolas' case, integral to the plot. (It was his violin Lestat plays to wake Akasha.) Daniel is also dropped, leaving Armand Demoted to Extra as his plotline revolved mostly around Daniel. Mekare is also missing, apparently having become a Composite Character with her sister Maharet, and while there was a character named Khayman much of the backstory involving him was dropped to focus on the modern plot. The Talamasca agent Aaron Lightner has also been removed from the film, with his role as Jessie's mentor being taken over by the Composite Character David Talbot. | |

Advertised Extra: The title character does not appear until an hour into the movie (unless her statue form counts). The film draws elements not only from its own source novel, but also from The Vampire Lestat, and he is the central character along with love interest Jesse Reeves (whose actress, Marguerite Moreau, never even gets a mention). There's also the fact that Akasha's actress, R&B singer Aaliyah, died six months prior to the film's release, and the movie was heavily promoted as her last "starring" role. | |

Daywalking Vampire: Akasha, if she feeds on enough people, can walk around in the sunlight as much as she wants without being harmed, allowing her to live in the open as a true Queen. By letting Lestat drink her blood she passes this ability on to him. Another change from the books; those who are old enough (such as Akasha and Khayman) are no longer burned by it, but they can't even function in daylight, as once the sun comes up over the horizon, they fall instantly asleep. | |

No Bisexuals: Lestat's canonical male love interests from the novels are nowhere to be found in the film (with the possible exception of Lestat and Marius, who have a rather ambiguous relationship). Nicki's absence was especially jarring to book fans, considering his crucial importance to Lestat's backstory (in The Vampire Lestat, it was Nicki's Stradivarius that he played to wake Akasha). | |

Stealth Hi/Bye: Marius pulls this on David Talbot after taunting him with the usual person-pass-in-front-for-a-second trick. Could be justified with Marius being a vampire and thus a Super Speedster, except that all vampires can usually be still seen as a fast-moving shape. Then again, this could be a tribute to him being so old (he's Roman). Mael also pulls this on Jesse. | |

Monster Lord: The Ancients are an informal vampire aristocracy, although they don't advertise themselves to the rest of their kind. Akasha even considers herself the Queen of the entire species. This is actually one of the things from the novel the movie got right, as younger vampires mostly thought the Ancients were myths, a misbelief they were happy to let stand. | |

| Queen of the Damned / int_8605f0c0 | comment |
Promoted to Love Interest: The film version made the main subplot a romance between Lestat and Jesse, the two main characters who, in the book, do not speak. One of the many things altered from the book is the identity of Jesse's maker. In the book, it's her "Aunt" Maharet (actually her many-times great grandmother-turned-vampire). In the movie, it's Lestat. This was obviously meant to reinforce the bond between the characters, which was never there in the book. | |

What the Hell Is That Accent?: Lestat, Akasha, and Marius all have invented vaguely-European accents that just serve to highlight the World of Ham. Akasha's in particular is practically indecipherable. | |

Asshole Victim | |
| Queen of the Damned / int_8ed5c6e4 | comment |
Asshole Victim: Akasha kills off numerous lesser vampires in various bloodthirsty ways (like ripping out one's heart and eating it). Since they're all portrayed as bloodsucking monsters, no tears will be shed, it's just to establish Akasha as Eviler than Thou. | |

Superpower Lottery | |
| Queen of the Damned / int_8fac4a3a | comment |
Superpower Lottery: Queen Akasha is by far the most powerful of the vampires, explained by being the progenitor of the race, absorbing her husband's powers (who was the second vampire) and their power increasing with age. In the movie she demonstrates Super-Strength, Super-Speed, Offscreen Teleportation, Flight, telekinesis, pyrokinesis, telepathy throught blood contact, the ability to know the location of every vampire on Earth due to being their creator and being able to walk in the sunlight unharmed by drinking enough people to death (and passing this on to other vampires by drinking her blood). She wipes out whole groups of vampires without even touching them, so it's little wonder that they call her a living god. It takes a Zerg Rush by most of the other Ancient vampires still alive to even hurt her. | |

Pop-Star Composer | |
| Queen of the Damned / int_91b55fe | comment |
Pop-Star Composer: Jonathan Davis of Korn wrote the music and the words for Lestat's songs in the movie (the novel had blatantly vampire songs; the film had more ambigous ones). For contractual reasons, he couldn't sing the songs himself on the soundtrack album (he does sing the in-film versions), so they were performed by other well-known Alternative Metal singers (Wayne Static of Static-X, David Draiman of Disturbed, Chester Bennington of Linkin Park, Marilyn Manson, and Jay Gordon of Orgy). | |

And then... Akasha as the Veronica and Jesse as the Betty to Lestat's Archie. Jesse wins when Lestat turns on Akasha in order to save his Betty. | |

Evil Overlord: Vampire Queen Akasha's reign over Ancient Egypt with her consort King Enkil is inferred to have been insanely tyrannical. Marius notes that she nearly drank the world dry to satiate her bloodlust and she shows several visions to Lestat of random massacres of her subjects. Later on she feeds on hundreds of people and declares the resulting graveyard her new kingdom to a disturbed Lestat. In the climax she announces to the other Ancients that she wants to return the world to the way things were and reduce humanity to cattle. | |

Vampires Are Sex Gods: Lestat and Akasha are shown to be sensual lovers. This is also exploited by the vampires, as Lestat uses his "sex god" rock persona to lure in victims as dimwitted groupies literally throw themselves at him, only to be bled dry by Lestat. This is yet another change from the books, as vampires can't have sex. (Technically, they "can", but it's heavily implied that they feel no pleasure from the stimulation.) | |

Race Lift | |
| Queen of the Damned / int_d7c3ba61 | comment |
Race Lift: Possibly both the King and Queen Of The Damned. While only Enkil's statue is seen in the film, he is quite clearly a white man. And while Akasha was the queen of Kemet (ancient Egypt) of six thousand years ago, the character was from Uruk before marrying into Enkil's throne. So she'd be middle eastern, but she's played by a black actress (Sub-Saharan descent). However, even the books are pretty vague about this, as Akasha's pale white skin has nothing to do with her race, but the fact that vampires lose their pigmentation the older they are. No matter what race or skin color they were in their human lives, they are both pale white as a statue now. Akasha does actually start out as a pale white statue, but regains her human skin tone the moment she wakes up. | |

Frozen Fashion Sense: Many vampires in the film are wearing outfits that look like the Society for Creative Anachronism's best efforts, from the bizarre pseudo-belly dancer chic Pandora dons in the background to Akasha's interpretation of prehistoric Egyptian royalty's clothing. It partly makes sense with some of them, as a deleted scene shows them being woken up from who-knows-how-long slumber by Lestat's song. Like everything else in the movie, this doesn't match the book. This is lampshaded by Lestat (who is dressed as a rock-star) when he sees Marius wearing the same red velvet outfit as he did centuries ago, when he asks him how he managed to slip unnoticed through the past several decades wearing that. | |

I Hate You, Vampire Dad: Lestat is highly resentful after his creator Marius spontaneously abandoned him to keep Lestat away from Akasha. After Marius revisits him when Lestat becomes a rock star in the present, Lestat calls Marius out on not speaking to him for centuries and says that it's far too late for him to take a paternal interest. In the books, Lestat's maker was a French vampire named Magnus; he met Marius a few years later. | |

Composite Character: Maharet is mostly herself, but takes over some of her missing twin Mekare's role as well— specifically, consuming Akasha to become the new Queen. | |

Goth | |
| Queen of the Damned / int_e542d8c1 | comment |
Goth: The film pretty much summarizes all the goth types, even the poser ones as the female protagonist dresses up in a rather obviously fake attire to attract the attention of Lestat the vampire. | |

Blood Countess: Akasha used to be an Egyptian nobility who drinks blood, and is considered to be an ancestor to the vampire race. She also wears revealing clothes. | |

Who Wants to Live Forever?: In the film version, this is the driving force behind Lestat's actions, and thus the entire movie. | |

The Vamp | |
| Queen of the Damned / int_eae41a | comment |
The Vamp: Akasha tries to tempt Lestat to become her consort and do as much evil as they like as the world trembles before them. Earlier, she also seduces a male vampire in a night club with a sexy dance and kisses him, upon which she tears out his heart and eats it in front of the shocked crowd. | |

Monster Progenitor | |
| Queen of the Damned / int_eb467486 | comment |
Monster Progenitor: Akasha is the ancestor of all living vampires. Her origin story from the books is left out, so it almost seems that she was a bloodthirsty monster all her life. | |

The Unmasqued World: The other vampires are pissed off at Lestat for exposing their kind to the world by choosing to live out in the open by becoming a rock star. | |

| Queen of the Damned / int_ed98f038 | comment |
Wall Crawl: Lestat does this when two groupies try to "entertain" him. They're impressed at first, and then terrified when he shows his fangs. Then he drinks their blood. | |

Tears of Blood | |
| Queen of the Damned / int_f3e87937 | comment |
Tears of Blood: Elder vampire Maharet weeps a Single Tear of blood in a dream/memory of Jesse's. Possibly the only aspect of the film more book-accurate than its predecessor, as when Louis cried in Interview with the Vampire, his tears were just tears. | |

Conspicuous in the Crowd: Lestat can pick out the enemy vampires at his rock concert because they stand stock-still, staring unblinkingly at the stage as the crowd dances around them. (The Black Cloaks are also a giveaway.) | |

Villainesses Want Heroes: The mother of all vampires, an ancient Egyptian pharaoh known as Akasha, wants the much younger vampire Lestat to be her lover after she discarded her previous one to absorb his power. He reciprocates at first, but eventually turns on her since her plan to Take Over the World is too extreme for him. | |
