Stuart Townsend as Lestat makes Tom Cruise look straight. It is almost embarassing comparing Townsend as Lestat to that silly bitch turn that Cruise pulled in "Interview with a Vampire". But the bottom line is that Queen of the Damned is as bad as "Interview With A Vampire".
Interview With A Vampire was just pure shit, there was nothing remotely sexy about Cruise or Pitt. But Townsend is pure sex, Townsend and AALIYAH are incredible together. However, rather than concentrate on two stars who are buring up the screen, the movie instead serves up a bunch of other silly looking actors who are boring and ugly (along with an idiot story that you never feel involved in).
Someone should take the raw footage that was shot for this movie and re-edit it into the kick ass movie that Townsend and AALIYAH deserve.
There is a scene in "Queen of the Damned" in which Townsend in sitting high on a billboard and falls off. This scene reminds one of the scene in "Lost Boys" in which the boy vamps fall off train tracks which appear to be very high above the clouds.
Also, the ending of "Queen of the Damned" reminds one of the ending of "Interview with a Vampire". At the end of both movies, a individual that the main vamp spares, is bitten by the Vamp's "buddy" who was watching from the bushes.
It is amazing that someone can make a movie as bad as "Queen of the Damned" with actors as hot and as stunning as Stuart Townsend and AALIYAH.
