I just started reading ’’The Queen of the Damned’’ but I have read ’’Interview with the Vampire’’ and ’’The Vampire Lestat.’’ The only thing that seemed to match the book was the names and the very beginning of the movie.
I also thought they could have picked a much better Lestat. I think Tom Cruise was perfect for that part and wonder why he didn’t do it. Also, I’ve realized that the ’’new Lestat’’ fits Louis’s description in the book.
This movie left out so many details. I don’t think they should have combined ’’The Vampire Lestat’’ and ’’The Queen of the Damned’’ into one movie. Lestat should have had his own movie so people will know how he was made, about his mother, and so on. The book was amazing and I also pray they do one on him or at least redo the ’’Queen of the Damned.’’
I do think Aaliyah played a perfect Akasha. She did that part wonderfully. And I’m not just saying that because she passed away.
I think the sound track was AWESOME...being a huge KORN and Static X fan. You don’t hear any good sound tracks anymore besideds that teeny bop crap and rap/hip-hop. It’s nice to listen to something I really enjoy.
I can’t wait to finish the book ’’Queen of the Damned’’ to see how much was left out.
