With the end of Twilight, are young adults still interested in bloodsuckers? Vampire Academy is hoping so. Now the first trailer has arrived, which suggest that despite the dreadful name it might not be too bad.
Indeed you’d hope for something decent from Mean Girls helmer Mark Waters and Heathers writer Daniel Waters, who’ve adapted Richelle Meads popular series of books for the big screen.
The film tells the tale of Rose Hathaway, a 17-year-old girl who has a mental and spiritual bond with her vampire best friend Lissa. The two girls attend a special school for Vampires who struggle to retain some humanity while other Vampires become more feral. Zoey Deutch (Beautiful Creatures) and the Australian Lucy Fry playing Rose and Lissa, with Russian star Danila Kozlovski as Dimitri.
The film’s due out early next year.
