I wonder if Aaliyah was still alive if she would’ve been in this show. Her name would be way too big but still she played Akasha so perfectly. I think they would’ve casted her. Or at least have her be a vampire. Imagine her and Louis, two beautiful black vampires with green eyes. Aaliyah’s Akasha would have loved Louis’ killer instincts lmao She so homicidal which makes me wonder why she went after Lestat to begin with. Like he’s a killer too but Louis…whew. It’s just a shame Aaliyah ain’t here cuz she loved vampires and would’ve loved this show and to be a part of it. 🥰 🕊️

Can’t wait to see Sheila Atim as Akasha though and I wonder if we’ll see Enkil or will she drain him before he’s introduced lmao.

I was thinking once again about what bothered me so much about the movie “The Queen of the Damned”. For one thing they combined two books (The Vampire Lestat and The Queen of the Damned) therefore truncating the stories making the narrative suffer. The movie significantly alters the backstory, particularly by replacing the character Marius as Lestat’s maker instead of Magnus. For another thing several key characters were omitted or changed, including the removal of the twin vampires Maharet and Mekare's backstory, and the absence of Louis de Pointe du Lac. I’d say the best thing about the movie is Aaliyah as Akasha aka The Queen of the Damned. Though her part of the story wasn’t done justice Aaliyah did well in the part.

With how well they did adapting the first book I’m looking forward to seeing AMC+ take on the second book “The Vampire Lestat”! I already adore Sam Reid’s portrayal of Lestat and can’t wait to see him embody Lestat’s rockstar era!
