Warning: Spoilers
Lestat de Lioncourt is awakened from his slumber and bored with his existence, has now become this generations new Rock God.

While in the course of time, another has arisen, Akasha, the Queen of the Vampires and the Damned.

He want's immortal fame, his fellow vampires want him eternally dead for his betrayal, and the Queen want's him for her King.

Who will be the first to reach him and Who shall win the final battle of the vampires and survive.......

There are some films that never need a sequel, despite the fact hat the first was based on a best selling collection. Interview With A Vampire was a phenomenal movie, and changed the way the vampire movie was imagined for a few years.

It was classy, sultry, and Cruise conquered the screen as Lestat.

So eight years later, this movie was as welcome as a hole in the head, and was just a blatant cash in for those good ol' greedy folk at Warner Bros'

I haven't read the scourge material, and forgive me if I'm wrong, but who in the right mind would bring back a very sinister signature character, and have him try to conquer his race by becoming a Rock Star.

In the hands of Rea, its possible that it could have been something, and he may have coaxed Cruise back in the title role, but no, we get an out of his depth Townsend trying to emulate the panache cruise had with ease eight years prior.

And despite his best efforts, it's no surprises that he fails, and the fact he is carrying the film only adds insult, the audience know he isn't Cruise, so detach away from him.

And I don't want to speak ill of the dead, but Aaliyah is awful in her role, and spends her screen time movie really strangely and hissing her lines.

It's a worthless sequel, most of the cast know this, and I feel sorry for Townsend, he's a decent actor otherwise.
