Queen of the Damned
Parts of "The Vampire Lestat" and "The Queen of the Damned" were loosely adapted into the 2002 film, "Queen of the Damned". The film was seen to be a critical failure, and disappointed some viewers. Rice herself has dismissed the film. On her Facebook page, any time the subject is brought up, she repeatedly comments that "The Queen of the Damned" film is not something she can understand or embrace, that she encouraged them not to do the film and that it hurt her to see her work "mutilated" the way it was.
