  • the thing is that if i hadn't read the books i'd like the movie but i read all of the vampire chronicles and seeing this is just plain sad... it completely disregards the descriptions of the characters that were given in all the books. just what.

  • Was awesome

  • Radu from Sbspecies's the all time best vampire

  • Why do people keep comparing Twilight to the Vampire Chronicles. Nothing a like. I like them both, but Anne Rice is a hella lot better, period. Now stop fucking comparing them!!!!!! They aren't even wrote for the same type of people.

  • Aaliyah's performance was awesome. She made a great Akasha, love Townsend, too. You can not compare Interview with the Vampire's Lestat to him in The Quuen of the DAmned. One is Louis' version and the other IS Lestat. Townsend wouldn't of been good as Louis' version, but excellent as his own. The movie can not live up to the book, no matter what. Like a lot of people say, the music is the best thing about it. They changed too many things: twins dah!. Marius didn't make Lestat, etc, etc

  • Looks stupid.

  • Comment removed

  • I dont really like this Lestat... I like Tom Cruise`s Lestat.... Hes so cute ^^

  • why have i never seen this??

  • Omg, I was PISSED she had to die. The movie could have been better BUT Aaliyah's performance was amazing

  • Man it's kinda hard to believe this movie is already 11 years old.

  • aww it should be tom cruise

  • queen of damned and twighlight (o como se escriba esa mierda) is shit.. if you really want to see a good vampire movie, look at coppola´s Dracula or interview with the vampire

  • i absolutely adore this movie. the soundtrack is awesome and... i think Stuart Townsend is pretty hot as Lestat (but I also like Tom Cruise.)

  • i hate when people say 'that's how vampires are supposed to be'. they aren't real you know. there isnt a set way they r supposed to look. but ok

  • @MsCafee, Imagine the LOTR movies making the Orcs look like butterflies and then saying, "Hey Orcs don't exist, therefore, this is great interpretation of Tolkien's books."

    Imagine every single bad movie having its director using that excuse. Using "fiction" as an excuse is always a horrible excuse for bad art.

  • @MsCafee According to folklore and Dracula by Bram Stoker ( You know, the first person to actually write about vampires in fiction) there is a description for vampires. They all vary but NONE include sparkling, living creatures.

  • @MsCafee So long as they aren't fucking sparkely and made from fairy dust.

  • Not bad for a vampire movie

  • this is an awesome movie i've seen it like 5 times in 2 days i love this movie

  • @thesacredyew Thats a valid point, but I've already read the books so for me i can never enjoy this movie. Honestly i don't know how anyone can enjoy this movie having seen "Interview With The Vampire". Have u seen it?

  • @LedKashmir Actually I have read the book, and I don't think the movie is bad... Just a different take on the story. Aaliyah & Stewart both had stand out performances. Stewart is a far better Lestat than Tom Cruise ever was in my and many other fan's of "The Vampire Chronicle's" opinions.

  • @jermainesmusic2 No sweatheart.. Re-read from chapter 9 on.. It never talked about Akasha coming from the "North" to rule over Egypt. She was a natural born leader of "Egypt" in Africa. Yes, the book descripes her skin to be white, but the director in the film.... "Telling is version of the story...NOT ANNE RICE'S". Thought "If Akasha is from Egypt she obviously would be a person of color. So he decided to cast Aaliyah for the part, but he did get Anne Rice's Okay. If you buy the DVD....

  • Respond to this video... You will here the Director explain this, and why Anne Rice was far more happy about Aaliyah being cast as Akasha then she was when Tom Cruise was cast as Lestat in "Interview...".

  • I thought Vampires were suppose to be white?

  • @IvyValentines I guess if anyone can turned into a vampire then it doesn't matter what race you are.

  • @IvyValentines Thats very racist and you must not have read the books... Akasha, "Aaliyah's" character, ruled over Egypt was Egyptian herself... Egypt is in Africa. Which is why the director saw fit for Akasha to be a person of color.

  • @jermainesmusic2 wait in the book I thought it said Akasha came from the north to Egypt with Enkil (spelling?). Also it described Enkil and Akasha as white and they were only every bronzed becuase of the sun, but it seems very fitting for Akasha to be played by Aaliyah. I've always picutured her more tan than white as alabaster. lol

  • Wow! Never knew Aaliyah was so badass!!! <3

  • This movie is this biggest pile of steaming shit ever created. Its a blasphemous slap in the face to the books and the "Interview" movie.

  • @LedKashmir I agree and disagree. It's rubbish compared to the book but if you watch it without reading the book it's not bad, not brilliant but a enjoyable film.

  • This movie is terrible. How could they change Lestat's maker from Magnus to Marius? How could they rearrange and change details of Anne Rice's incredibly creative and beautiful story? And above all, HOW COULD THEY MAKE LESTAT'S MUSIC SOUND LIKE KORN??? I turned it off as soon as Lestat started describing how he was made.

  • @ReddRekkless

    simple, queen of the damned is loaded with characters that wouldn't fit in 2hrs. so everyone go and read the book. it's awesome, all those vampire fanatics like me (except with the twilight movie, loved the FIRST BOOK though, just the book) read it. it has detailed hypothetical explanation as to how vampires are created and why are they all HOT and BEAUTIFUL... anne rice is really awesome!!

  • i love movies like this one and underworld not twilight shit :S

  • lestat would eat edward cullen but he would be coughing up glitter

  • @StephenieHazen I agree. I'm sure that she loved playing a character that was evil and not at all like how she was in reality (namely nice and sweet). :)

  • Akasha = Aaliyah she is so amazing Actress. Singer. Dancer. Model. All around endless Talent Beautiful, she goes into the hot Vampire Category of All Time along with "Brad Pitt" and ""Tom Cruise"" the books were great and the movies of the chronicles were phenominal sit down #TWILIGHT the #QUEEN is here RIP AALIYAH Queen of Urban POP

  • this movie was banned in my country

  • LOL @ 01:15, the worst Armand you could ever pick.

  • @LloydChristmas777

    Well at least he looks more like Armand than Antonio Banderas :P

  • Hey remember when vampire movies actually had vampires in it.

  • My mom's bf had us watch this and I was so confused and asked him "is that Lestat from Intrview With The Vampire" He told me he didn't know so I got so confused. Now that I'm reading comments I guess that is. I liked the first Lestat

  • the book is way better

  • @craznintendog or just type "Queen of the Damned (Part 1)" in youtube's search box and you will find the whole movie in parts.

  • @craznintendog its available here on youtube on "breakonthrough009"'s channel!

  • Aaliyah for life

  • That last song in the trailer is going to drive me crazy! I want it so bad. But, I bet it was only made for the trailer since nobody seems to know what it is.

  • @SamanthaMercer It sounds like "Scum of the Earth" by Rob Zombie

  • my favorite vampire movie even though its old but it never gets old to me and rest in peace aaliyah

  • I love this movie... I will Miss Aaliyah ..... Lestar is soooo Hot!!!!!!!! and sexy

  • i love this movie... Aaliyah was absolutely stunning in this movie!!

  • wheres louis?

  • Yeah, they're different but I still have always loved both the book and the movie.

  • love this film. interview with the vampire would have been better if they casted better. tom cruise as a vampire? you gotta be fuckin kiddin me. that movie blew ass. this one was sooo much better. combines my 2 fav things,.....vampire and metal. all you twighlities can suck it lol. this lestat was better then tom cruise.

  • OMG it's aaliyah ! :( i miss her

  • this movie wasn`t only the biggest dissapointment but also the one of the worst movies ever.

    reading the book was like watching a fucking good movie.

    watching this movie was like watching colour desiccates.

  • When I was younger I watched this allllll the time... now that I'm old enough to actually enjoy it, I think it might be scary....

  • Interview totally got the characters, emotion and setting right. This atrocity was made to get a quick buck out of goth teenies and condensed two good novels into crap.

  • Worst. Movie. Evar!

  • You mean, worst movie ever, right?

  • Prefer interview with the Vampire

  • I never could get into most of Anne Rice's stuff. It always seemed she wrote 100 pages to describe something that only needed at most 5 pages. Then she became very religious and so did her writing. I didn't much care for the book Queen of the Damned so I didn't mind the movie that much. It's cheesy fun. Rather than re-making "interview", The Vampire Lestat needs to be made into a decent movie.

  • The best part of the movie is the music. Ubeliveble soundtrack !

  • @TheScampb so fucking true!

  • Shouldnt play a Queen of the Damned Aaliah, then may be u'd be still alive! XD

  • @SuzzankaVesna Are you saying that if didnt never played this movie, she'd still be alive?

  • @1990babyface I don't literally mean it, I was actually joking in here... but to think about it, it happened to a lot of actors who played some weird "dark-side" experienced some crap on their lives...

  • @SuzzankaVesna Maybe becuase it's true. I think it's a curse. Something's not right about her Death.

  • I love Lestat...a cruel, snobish, elegant and very hot vampire :D

    This movie aren't my favorite, because I imagined the characters more different, like this. My best Lestat was Tom Cruise <3

    And WHY MAKE FROM GOTHIC GIRLS TO STUPID BITCHES? Aw.

  • i like lestat than edward of twilight. .

  • I've always really liked this movie. The soundtrack is awesome!

  • what a fucking stupid sequel to the best vampire movie ever - interview with a vampire

    & tom is the best lestat.....this movie is plane shit

  • Comment removed

  • @bleeding4him

    lol bitch

    did you even watch interview with a vampire?

    these two movies are of the same series

    & in the latter one; tom cruise played lestat & he was awesome....but lestat from queen of the damned sucks...just like the movie....

    just watch 'interview with a vampire' mate

  • @TheTaharry Yeah i agree Tom cruise is way better i would recomend interview with the vampire to anyone XD

  • one word - Lestat! ♥

  • nigelanthony wuz here

  • Can anyone tell me where 1:33 is from? I don't remember it from the movie or deleted scenes? :/

  • interview with the vampire is 10000000 times better .. sorry

  • I seen this movie a few time never really care for it. I prefer Interview with a Vampire over this movie any day. Also it is nothing like the books which is disappointing. besides Stuart Townsend did not play a real awesome lestat. The Lestat that Tom Cruise played was amazing and sounded and acted more like him then this Lestat. Besides its not that well done compared to Interview.

  • I loveeee this film! I dunno how Anne Rice and hate it!

  • 0:52-0:59 is cool i love it

  • Can someone tell me if the movie is at all like the book? Does it follow it as the book or is it like Interview with the vampire..Same idea's but together a lot different

  • @sarahjf07

    it is NOTHING like the book...at all...it tries to combine The Vampire Lestat and Queen of the Damned into a single movie, takes away all of the charm, wit and humanity of the first, leaves out all of the mysticism of the second. It's slick but has no substance. If you want to watch it to oggle at Stewart Townsend and Aliyah, it's worth it, (they make it watch-able they're both VERY pretty vampires!!) but if you're looking for anything even remotely like VC, this isn't it

  • Wow. I am so glad there's another Lestat than Tom Cruise xD I mean seriously, trying not to imagine him while reading the books is madness. This is awesome :D This is what it -should- be like.

  • every one who is thinking of tracing this movie down and whatching it do so it comes toe to toe with interveiw witha  vampire also the love between the vampire and human is much more sinister than twilight the emotion is almost not there but the hint that is is very powerful

  • watch 36 to 50 and tell me you cant imagine miley doing that or wearing that

  • for some reason i imagined miley cyrus redoing this movie with her as queen of the damned

  • While I hate that the movie didn't really follow any of the book ( I was disapointed by that) I can say the music was awesome, Stuart Townsend is awesome, and Aaliyah R.I.P) was amazing. The movie was ok enough that I'd watch it again just cuz of the reasons I mentioned b4

  • @EnduNamori that's the only reason I watch it. Can't think about the book while the movie is on or else I start going crazy. I like, if you wanna even say that, up til the concert

  • this is tha best vampires movies i've ever seened

  • Can some one please tell me!! what the name of the song is played at 1:19!!! I have been looking for it forever.

  • I liked this movie before I read Queen of the damned. I haven't seen the movie once since I read the book, it's just so utterly disappointing. It feels like the movies only based of a few chapters of the book, and what they actually put into the movie is basically wrong. What even happened to the ledgend of the twins. If recall correcly they weren't even mentioned in the movie.

  • good movie?

  • Who the hell is Townsend?? and whatever happened to him...oh yea the nobody...he sucked as Lestat already is replaced by someone waaaaay older then he is...top of that he will be in the new remake movie Interview with the Vampire, who is this person I speak of you say???!!!! none other then Robert Downey JR I bloody can't believe it....I think the World isn't ready for Anne Rice's novels

  • @MsEnglishtea

    Anne Rice has herself said on several occasions that she'd love to see Robert Downey JR play Lestat.

  • @Obsessionallies90 dude knowing that i'm totally up for robert downey jr in the next books XD come on hollywood give us fans what we want lol

  • damn i love townsend. He's so fiine. H.O.T

  • movie for posers. fuck you all.bye

  • I still dont understand why louie wasnt in this movie

  • R.i.p Aaliyah and River Phoenix, may u rest aswell...what would'' Interview of the vampire'' been like if u lived to star in it? Tho Christian Slater was an awesome choice...

  • what song is it in the end?

  • Lestat is the hotest vampire ever!!!

    thats how vampires are suppose to be not like Edward!

  • @MoonStorm84

    lol so true- twilight is so depressing! Thumbs up if u agree! :)

  • @MoonStorm84 wtf is Edward?

  • @difabricius from the twilight movie!

  • @MoonStorm84 dude marishka is from vanhelsing! but shes cool too

  • @rayne7echo whaaaaa O_o? who is marishka :D? maybe that comment wasnt for me :P

  • How much I love you, Lestat!^^ You're my platonic love:D

    Townsend's Lestat ever and ever! I want you back as Lestat, not someone else!!!

  • to me this movie is awsome Aaliyah waas great and may she rest in peace to he last and if u cant aleast say anything nice about the movie then dont say anthing at all

  • I'm sorry, but this movie looks really stupid. Especially compared to The Interview With the Vampire. That movie was.... absolutely incredible! And I don't really care for Tom Cruise, but in that movie he was yyuuummmyyyy <3 This Townsend guy..not so much.

  • @ToastExpert19 unfortunetly they are planning a remake of Interview with the Vampire...which is such a tragedy but let's see how it goes first.

  • Ohhh, Cruise as Lestat is so much better !!

  • I like Twilight but honestly I prefer Lestat over Edward, he's just soo rawr

  • Honestly, I AM NOT A TWILIGHT FAN, I AM A HUGE FAN OF ANNE RICE, Author of The Queen of the Damned--and this movie mutilated and destroyed her work so much that I'd rather favor Twilight than watch this pathetic failed film. If you guys read the Vampire Chronicles and like this film, man you guys seriously need to get your heads out of your guys asses because this film destroyed her novel. Bad casting, horrible actors, horrible script,, and this film was a box office failure.

  • i didn't like the end it would be better if lestad stay with akasha i mean she was evil and all that but that was a hot couple and i know alot of people say "but jessy is the good 1 " and bla bla bla still say whatever u want i like more lestad and akasha .

  • Stuart Townsend is so hot I love how he plays lestat in this movie. He should do more vampire movies. This movies is so much better then twilight. Twilight changes everything about vampires.There should be more movies like these.

  • Phfffff....Tom Cruise was So much better as Lestat >.>

  • @Cosmiclaurii hahahaaaa

  • Favorite movie.. EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRR! and always will be :)

  • 1 of the best vampire movies

  • this movie was epic.. nice! love it! go Aaliyah! RIP .. been a Lestat fan!

  • rip Aaliyah

  • Lestat is fucking gorgeous

  • Come out, come out. Where ever you are!

    I love him *-*

  • imma bout 3 read the book i'm still on the sconed 1 =D

  • lestat>glittertits. How could anyone choose Cullen's over lestat?

  • my favourite movie of all times.

  • and i think that stuart townsend looks like male keira knightley :)

  • agh!!! stop comparing all the vampire movies to twilight!!!!! i'm sick of it and sick of twilight.

  • Anne Rice is the BEST vampire novelist ever. Stephanie Meyer seriously needs to take lessons from her. Anne is a LEGEND!

  • @lostsoul601 dude..........................­.......like Meyer could even comprehend the godlike writing style of the mother of all vampires, Anne Rice. Those two in the same paragraph is a discrase to Madame Rice

  • @animeboymat

    Well said!!!!

    Long live Anne Rice!!!!

  • I agree, any movie about real vampires that have fangs and that aren't "vegetarian" is a whole lot better than twilight. Edward does not have anything on Lestat! Anyway..I remember when the trailor for QOTD first came out :D I though it was so cool, and it still remains one of my favorire movies today.

  • GREAT! so much better than the german version!

  • Anne Rice is the best vampire novelist!

  • I love Aaliyah in this movie! Lestat is completely sexy :)

  • Now THIS is a vampire. :D

    Seriously. Lestat will pwn Edward everytime...

  • Although the story is not the same as the book, I would prefer this than Twilight. This is what you call Vampire!!

  • i mean lestat isnt even fucking blonde in the movie, FUCK IM RAGING

  • wtf this is nothing like the book, get fucked they disgraced anne rice, sad fucks

  • ive got a friend who looks exactly like lestat. frickin' hot.

  • stuart townsend is so unbelieveably hot

    it was hard to take my eyes off the screen

    i saw this when it came out...

    when i was like 10 lol

  • I prefer Tom Cruise as Lestat, but thats just my opinion.

  • @Repo342TrueBlood1

    oh yeah no one beats tom cruise as lestat..

    in fact in my opinion no one can beat the cast of the first movie... Interview with the Vampire made in 1994

    They just nailed it... and what made it all the more awesome was the script that Anne Rice wrote herself.. it was simply... beautifully written

  • @xxcool2tintxx

    How was the book? Best ever, do you think?

    I really 3x wanna read it!!! I hope they're still in bookstores.

    But if you know where i can read there- please please! tell me.

  • @musicindisguise

    oh yeah they're still in print...

    in fact I got the 2009 edition of the book

    ... of course it's the original written work... just a different cover

    You can pick up a copy at the local bookstore. You can also order online

    When ordering online... I prefer Chapters or Amazon... they can be trusted

  • Awsome novells, ok movie.

    But Tom Cruise is the one true Lestat

  • great movie... i love this movie so much.

  • Film was ok except for the terrible lip syncing to Korn

  • If only they had actually followed the story in Queen of the Damned this movie would have been so much better, the novel itself is beyond amazing to me, just like Interview with the Vampire how the story lines goes with the story, but i was kinda disappointed when i saw the movie, i was so confused at the time as to why so many changes but oh well, all i know is that no one can ever be compared to Anne Rice nor her novvels.

  • my dream is to one day in the future dirrect a movie based on the books.

    A modern movie

    I hope a good movie

    PLEASE DONT MISUNDERSTAND

    I totaly lov this movie and lestat and the books and lestat (did i say that already? lol)

    but it's my biggest dream

    i know, i'm a dreamer but... o well!

    =)

  • they have totally slaughtered the books! The movie is ok, independently, but it is not at all the same storyline as in the books. The true storyline would have made an awesome movie!

  • @ninaninaninapina

    Is this the continuation of the first movie Interview With The Vampire? If so then where is Loui??

    Are all the series great? or the first one is the best?? i heard there were like 9 books in the series. Wow.

  • I love this movie. And The interview with a vampire movie. their both really good.. haven't read the books, tough :p

  • wait im confused

    i saw the movie interview with the vampire but not this one.

    does this movie talk about the same lestat in interview with the vampire?

  • This movie tries to combine a bit of "the Vampire Lestat" into "the Queen of the Damned," in terms of the book content. And though it is a good movie, it's does not follow the book so much. They take a lot of interpretative liberties with this movie.
