PRODUCTION BEGINS ON WARNER BROS. PICTURES’ AND VILLAGE ROADSHOW
PICTURES’ “QUEEN OF THE DAMNED,” STARRING Aaliyah AND STUART TOWNSEND
Production began October 2 in Melbourne, Australia, on Warner Bros.
Pictures’ and Village Roadshow Pictures’ big screen adaptation of Anne
Rice’s best-selling novel, “Queen Of the Damned,” starring
Platinum-selling musical artist and actress Aaliyah in the title role,
and Stuart Townsend (“Wonderland”) as Lestat.

“Queen of the Damned” is a supernatural adventure which follows the
legendary vampire Lestat (Townsend), who has re-invented himself as a
rock star in the contemporary American music scene. His music wakes
Akasha (Aaliyah), the queen of all vampires, and inspires her to want to
make Lestat her king. Akasha’s malevolent power is so great that all the
immortal vampires must stand against her if they want to survive.
Meanwhile a young London woman, Jesse (Marguerite Moreau), with a
fascination for the dark side falls in love with Lestat.

The film also stars Lena Olin as Maharet and Vincent Perez as Marius.
Directed by Michael Rymer (“In Too Deep,” “Angel Baby”) with a
screenplay by Scott Abbott (“Introducing Dorothy Dandridge”) based on
the novel Queen of the Damned by Anne Rice, the film is produced by
Jorge Saralegui (“Red Planet”). Ian Baker (“The Russia House,” “The
Chamber”) is the director of photography. Graham “Grace” Walker (“Pitch
Black”) is the production designer. Dany Cooper (“In Too Deep”) is the
editor. “Queen of the Damned” will be distributed worldwide by Warner
Bros. Pictures and, in select territories, by Village Roadshow Pictures
