Excerpts from the Interview with Director Michael Rymer Producer Jorge Saralegui, Stuart Townsend, Marguerite Moreau and Aaliyah's Brother Rashad Haughton.

Enthusiasm was high at the press junket for the latest installment of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles film, Queen of the Damned. Needless to say, irrespective of the enthusiasm generated by the director, producer, and stars, Aaliyah's presence was sorely missed throughout the afternoon.
Queen of the Damned got off the ground in 1998, when Michael Rymer was attached to direct and Jorge Saralegui was later brought on to produce.
In regard to why it took so long to develop a sequel to Interview with the Vampire, Saralegui says the novel was "really hard to adapt." Interview was successful enough that the studio wanted a sequel, but it took a while for the project to come together. "Neil Jordan worked on a version of the Vampire Lestat, and it just died. And that was it. It was on the shelf."
