THE QUEEN OF THE DAMNED
مقتبس من كتلب أنا رايس(THE QUEEN OF THE DAMNED) حطيته من طلب الجمهور الملح...بهديه بشكل خاص ل DAMN MY SOUL 
Stuart Townsend, Marguerite Moreau, and Aaliyah combine talents in a blend of sex, vampire violence, pulsating rock rhythms, and erotic fantasy in director Michael Rymer's vision of Anne Rice's third novel in the "Vampire Chronicles."
With nary a Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt in sight, this adaptation finds Stuart Townsend as the smolderingly sexy Lestat, waking from a decades-long slumber to the sound of throbbing rock music. Tired of living in the shadows, he transforms himself into a musical God, leading a band of goth musicians down the path to fame and fortune. In doing so he makes known his true self, revealing to the world that he's a vampire. His fellow bloodsuckers hate him for going public and gather, along with thousands of screaming fans, at a concert in Death Valley where they plan to put an end to his disturbing undead presence.
Lestat's music is also responsible for waking the powerful, ancient Egyptian vampire, Akasha, the Mother of all Vampires (played by a very beautiful, very regal-looking, Aaliyah). Akasha is drawn to Lestat's magnetism and yearns to make him her lover and partner in destruction. Akasha's need for death isn't limited to humans, she kills vampires with equal abandon. Inviting Lestat to rule beside her as her king, she offers him one of the things he craves the most - the ability to walk in the light without fear.
Akasha isn't the only female aching to claim Lestat as a partner. Jesse (Marguerite Moreau), a researcher of the paranormal - including vampires - is haunted by unexplainable dreams of her childhood that echo with a voice calling her name. Drawn to Lestat's side, despite the obvious jeopardy, Jesse finds in the centuries-old vampire a part of her that has been missing. The Akasha/Lestat/Jesse love triangle (twisted as it is) provides the centerpiece to the film's climatic scene.
How close this film version of Anne Rice's novel is to her work is something I can't address;
Producer Jorge Saralegui claims that adapting the novel to a screenplay was a daunting task. Saralegui says, "It really did take us quite a while because there was just so much happening in the novel. Our task was to find the core story on which to center the movie. We wanted to show Lestat's origins as a vampire, and in order to do that, we had to borrow heavily from 'The Vampire Lestat.' It's very much inspired by, and in the spirit of, Anne Rice's work."
Author Anne Rice approved of the filmmaker's vision of her work. Rice says," 'Queen of the Damned' is an energetic and innovative rendition of the 'Vampire Chronicles' featuring fine performances, and a magnificent look. Well directed, elegant and intriguing, the film is surely destined to take its place among notable modern interpretations of vampire mythology."
