Short description
Vampire Lestat awakens from his slumber and becomes a rock star. But chaos strikes when his music awakens Akasha, the vampire queen, who may not rest until she makes Lestat her new king.
What's left behind the scenes
- Josh Hartnett was also considered for the role of Lestat.
- The film is based on Anne Rice's novel "The Queen of the Damned" (1988), the third book in the "Vampire Chronicles" series.
- Warner Bros. acquired the rights to adapt the first three books from Anne Rice's "Vampire Chronicles" series for seven years. During this period, the studio created "Interview with the Vampire" (1994), but only one year remained to produce film adaptations of the other two books. The studio then urgently hired screenwriters to combine "The Vampire Lestat" and "The Queen of the Damned" into a single script.
- The role of Lestat was offered to Tom Cruise, but he declined it.
- Singer Aaliyah, who played the lead role in this film, died in a plane crash shortly after filming was completed.
- Wes Bentley, who had already been cast as Lestat, left the project. He was replaced by Irish actor Stuart Townsend.
- Jonathan Davis of the band "Korn" provides the singing voice for Lestat in the film. However, due to contractual obligations, songs performed by Davis could not appear on the film's soundtrack. Ultimately, the five compositions written by Davis and Richard Gibbs were recorded by other singers (Marilyn Manson, Chester Bennington, David Draiman, Wayne Static, and Jay Gordon).
- Cherry juice was used as a substitute for blood in the film.
