It was a bold move, I admit. But
from that moment on, they were myfriends, my children, my band.
Together we rode on the wave of mypreternatural ambition tosuperstardom, giving the world anew god... me.
We COME ACROSS the city lights of London. Below, policecars section off a few blocks around a very sleek,
ultramodern office building where a huge crowd hasgathered.
SUPERIMPOSE:
LONDON (6 MONTHS LATER)16 EXT. OFFICE BUILDING - CONTINUOUS ACTION 16
Through the crowd, a very long, black limousine snakesits way toward the building. Rows of fans dressed as
Goths, ghouls and vampires scream out...
FANS:
Lestat! Lestat!
Girls press their breasts and necks up against thelimousine. Thump! Thump! Fan after female fan flingsherself on the car. Groupies scream with pureexcitement.
Confusion of screams as the door to the limo opens. The
crowd's scream reaches a fever pitch as... James, Alexand Maudy climb out, ogle at the sight. ROGER SMYTHE,
their business manager (40s), gets out next, hustlingthem through the crowd.
A wave of hysteria hits the fans. Roger hustles theband through the crowd and up the stairs into the church,
past the giant billboard with their own images writtenhuge, Lestat's smiling face above them all and the
announcement -LESTAT
-- LIVE & UNDEAD -- OCTOBER 31, ALL HALLOW'S EVE,
DEATH VALLEY, U.S.A.

A high-tech conference room. The band, sitting up front,
is faced by an audience of over fifty journalists andthen another fifty photographers and TV cameras. The
room crackles with anticipation. Roger steps to thepodium.

May I present the Vampire Lestat.
He pushes a button and a black curtain slides open toreveal a huge monitor on the wall.
Every eye is glued to the SCREEN... CRACKLE, CRACKLE.
Nothing. Then suddenly, on the screen, a face in shadowappears... Lestat. His voice booms out over the crowd.
LESTAT:
Good evening. I'm so sorry I'mlate. I was just having my...
breakfast.

Then Lestat leans forward into the light. Hushed
whispers move through the crowd. Lestat's eyes burnunnaturally bright. His white skin absolutely glows,
luminous. Lestat smiles out at them with a tight smile.
Then grins wider, revealing his fangs.
JOURNALIST:
Excellent makeup job.
Manson, look out...
Marilyn
A thousand questions suddenly burst out of thejournalists.
ROGER:
Hey, hey! We're gonna keep thisshort here! One at a time. You!
He points to a PRETTY FRENCH JOURNALIST.
PRETTY FRENCH JOURNALIST
So, Lestat. You say you're areal vampire. Correct me if I'm
wrong, but what I remember aboutvampires is you guys usually keepyour identity secret.
LESTAT:
Yes. But why hide it in this dayand age? I've hidden in the
shadows for centuries. It's time
to share myself with the world.
