The vampire Lestat reawakens as a blood-drinking rock star in this adaptation of the third volume in Anne Rice's popular Vampire Chronicles. Stuart Townsend stars as the brooding Lestat who comes out of hibernation with plans for a concert that will bring prominence to the secretive vampire ranks--much to their chagrin. But far more dangerously, he has awakened the long-petrified Queen Akasha (late pop singer Aaliyah), a vampire of royal descent whose powers go far beyond anything Lestat has ever seen! With Marguerite Moreau, Vincent Perez and Paul McGann.
