Line 4:
''[[Queen of the Damned]]'' is a 2002 movie based on the third installment of [[Anne Rice]]'s ''[[Vampire Chronicles]]'', and is a sequel of sorts to the acclaimed 1994 film ''[[Interview with the Vampire]]''. Unlike its predecessor though, QOTD played ''very'' fast and loose with the events of the original novel, was panned by critics, and was greeted with scorn by many ''[[Vampire Chronicles]]'' fans. It did, however, enjoy considerable commercial success and has acquired something of a cult following over the years – probably on account of its [[Mr. Fanservice|sexy]] [[Fan Service|cast]], [[Awesome Music (Sugar Wiki)|killer soundtrack]], and general [[So Bad It's Good|fun, campy vampire action]].
 
The story begins when the Vampire Lestat (Stuart Townsend) awakens after decades of slumber, and decides to launch a career as the frontman of a [[Nu-metal]] band. He soon achieves international stardom, but also earns the wrath of his vampire brethren, who despise him for flaunting his vampiric status, and fear the exposure of their secret world. Yet Lestat's music also awakens a far more potent threat – the ancient Egyptian vampire queen [[Monster Progenitor|Akasha]] ([[Aaliyah]]) who promptly embarks on a murderous rampage, mowing down humans and vampires alike in her ascent to power. She chooses Lestat as her new consort, and forces him to become an accomplice in her brutal massacre of humankind. It is down to a handful of [[Friendly Neighborhood Vampire|friendly-ish neighbourhood vampires]] – including Lestat's maker, Marius (Vincent Perez) – and student of the paranormal, Jessica “Jesse” Reeves (Marguerite Moreau) to rescue Lestat – and, you know, [[Saving the World|save the world]].
