Okay… inspired by @i-want-my-iwtv – here are the four things that I like/love about the Queen of the Damned movie

1. Aaliyah as Akasha – this was my introduction to Aaliyah and it was a damn good introduction. Firstly, she looked stunning. That’s how I imagine Akasha would look like. And, despite the poor script, Aaliyah gave it her all and I really enjoyed her performance. 

2. The score – I’m a sucker for a good music score, and QOTD is no exception. I love the violins (On the Beach sounds epic) and the overall theme, that’s included in Forsaken, sounds really cool. 

3. The soundtrack – I freaking love this soundtrack! I love the artists’ versions that were on the official soundtrack but i also love Jonathan Davis’ versions that are heard in the movie (there was some problems behind the scenes that Davis couldn’t release his versions on the official soundtrack – something like that) Also it has the Deftones! Who are awesome! 

4. The music video for Forsaken – it’s an homage to the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. What’s not to love about that? The sets, the lighting – it’s so freaking cool! And again, it’s a good song. 

And there you go 🙂

RIGHT all of the above! And I forgot about #4! They get points for that, for sure ;D he looks p cute ‘n spoopy here:

Did you know…?

I don’t now if someone else made this before o see it. But about the redeemable things   — and I think that the only one— of the movie “The Queen of The Damned”, was his soundtrack and the videos that they made for it.

Among them we could find the song “Forsaken”, interpreted in the album by David Draiman from the band Disturbed and in the movie by Jonathan Davis from the band Korn.

Who was filmed based on the silent film “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari” of the year 1920.

Considered the first expressionist film in history and one of the most influential German expressionist films.

Basically tells the story of Dr. Caligari and the sleepwalker Cesare, who are involved in a series of murders in a German mountain village.

You could read more information about the movie in the link below.

And here is the comparison with the video “Forsaken”, in which Stuart Townsend in his interpretation of a brunette Vampire Lestat, made the character of “Cesare” in the music video.

And i-want-my-iwtv there is the comparison 🙂

To the makers of that film:
