Queen of the Damned -- Singing sensation Aaliyah stars as the queen of all vampires, awakened by the music of a fellow vampire (Stuart Townsend), who has transformed himself into a rock star.

Singing sensation Aaliyah ("Romeo Must Die") stars as Akasha, the queen of all vampires, awakened by the music of the vampire Lestat (Stuart Townsend -- "Wonderland," "Resurrection Man"), who has transformed himself into a rock star in the contemporary American music scene. Akasha's malevolent power is so great that all the immortal vampires must stand against her if they want to survive! Also starring Marguerite Moreau ("Firestarter 2: Rekindled," "Wet Hot American Summer"), Vincent Perez ("I Dreamed of Africa") and Lena Olin ("Chocolat," "Romeo Is Bleeding") with music by the top-selling rock group Korn!

What's left to do when you've lived the eternal nightlife for centuries and must subsist off the blood of the living? If you're the vampire Lestat (Stuart Townsend), the answer is simple: become a rock star. This royal adaptation of Anne Rice's popular Vampire Chronicles series co-stars the late R&B singer Aaliyah as a reincarnated vampire queen who aims to take control of the world with Lestat, but a group of ancient vampires want to stop them.
