While one a search for a certain quote I'd seen ages ago about Anne Rice I came up across something from Claudia Black (formerly of Farscape and most recently Stargate SG-1) regarding her being cast in Queen of the Damned (how odd is it that I come across this seeing as Claudia plays my favorite female SG-1 character, Vala Mal Doran?) for nostalgia's sake I didn't correct the one or two typos she had. And yes I was a fan of the movie QotD before I became a fan of Claudia's via SG-1.

CLAUDIA BLACK************************************************** **********
October 4, 2000... Farscape actress Claudia Black has been locked to play the part of the vampire Pandora in The Queen of the Damned. Black made the announcement directly to her fans on the Sci-Fi Channel message boards last night:
Hello there beautiful people!
We are all suffering from post Olympic syndrome after a surprisingly exciting fortnight of sport and entertainment.I am officially very proud to be an aussie (aussie aussie, oi,oi,oi!!!)
My reason for posting today is to let you know that I have been cast to play Vampire Pandora in the sequel to Interview With a Vampire.
For those of you who have read Anne Rice's books,be prepared for some filmic licence and adaptation, if you know what I mean.While being losely called the sequel,The Queen of the Damned is not the book which directly follows interview and will not star Tom Cruise nor Brad Pitt.
I do not post this bit of news to boast, rather to recognize the enormous support I have received from you all on the BB and thank you for it as I feel You have instilled me with a confidence which has pushed me forward.
For those of you who out of loyalty went to support Pitch Black I can at least promise this time that although Pandora is a small support role, she will not be knocked off early!
Love and light to you all and thanks again for your continued support not only of Farscape but also of all the people who are bringing it to you.
Your chick with gun,
Claudia
