I was just going though some QotD -related stuff that you can't find except via web.archive.org and I found a few cool things but this caught my eye:
Jorge Saralegui, is interviewed (hah!) by qotd-cast.co.uk
Jorge Saralegui, the Producer of ‘Queen of the Damned’, was kind enough to grant me this interview. I was helped by Vampvan and various other members of the Forum to compile the questions. As you can see, there are quite a few revelations here! Enjoy!
If you want to read some more of his comments on 'Queen of the Damned', I've compiled a lot of his points, answering various questions on the Official Queen of the Damned Message Board,.
What attracted you to ‘Queen of the Damned’?
Having read INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE when it first came out. I loved it, but it broke my heart at the same time, because it was the vampire novel that I wanted to write. When WB asked me to read QUEEN OF THE DAMNED about twenty years later, I felt the hand of fate (albeit in a corporate glove).
In the official forum you mentioned that ‘Queen of the Damned’ is a sequel to ‘Interview With The Vampire’, but will it be billed as a sequel?
I don't know of any movies that are billed as a sequel - that is, INDIANA JONES & THE TEMPLE OF DOOM, THE SEQUEL - but WB certainly views it as the sequel to INTERVIEW. That we've changed every last actor won't affect that! It's hard for me to say the same thing, because I don't know if that's how Anne Rice sees it. I see it more as part of a series titled THE VAMPIRE CHRONICLES. It's hard to say that the story of THE VAMPIRE LESTAT follows INTERVIEW in any traditional manner. In fact, it's more prequel than sequel.
( the rest of the interview )
*!*!*!*
I'll be posting my favorite parts of this interview without an LJ-cut in the next entry
