The film "Queen of the Damned" (2002) is extremely loosely based on that book and the Queen of the Damned book. However the film alters the storyline and the characters' personalities and relationships so utterly and extremely that it can't really be called the book made into a film, as it's more like the film makers' own story. They threw away the actual original story from the books. But - according to the rumours there may soon be a a new movie about Lestat, and Anne Rice has been asked which book it would base on and she has said "it will probably focus on the content in "The Vampire Lestat"". So, yes, the chances are "The Vampire Lestat" book is going to be a movie.
As of now, there are no official plans to turn "The Vampire Lestat" into a movie. However, adaptations of Anne Rice's works have been made in the past, so it's not entirely out of the realm of possibility in the future.

Some time after Magnus made Lestat and commited suicide, the vampire Armand and Lestat's paths cross and Lestat learns from Armand about the ancient vampire Marius, who everyone believes to be dead but Lestat won't believe it but becomes obsessed with his search for Marius.
