WAIT! Before you blow off this trailer as part of the teen vampire glu,t know this: Vampire Academy was made by Mean Girls director Mark Waters and adapted by Heathers writer Daniel Waters. Plus the book was pretty great.
Set in a VAMPIRE ACADEMY where vampire royals attend classes with the vampire half-breeds who are trained to protect them, the main character Rose Hathaway is kind of like a badass, Buffy-type lady. But instead of killing vampires, she's tasked with protecting them — specifically, her vampire bestie, Lissa. Most of the story is centered around their relationship instead of a 1,000-year-old immortal lusting after a 17-year-old girl, so that's a bonus.
The new teaser doesn't look like much, but it's a teaser. Either way we're suckers for teenage girls walking around in slo-mo like a pack of evil bitches. Get it, girls! Fingers crossed this one brings back the teen nasty we loved from the director's past.
Vampire Academy will hit theaters on February 14th, 2014.
DISCUSSION
As a mid 20 something year old guy, who has read the books, I'm looking forward to the movie. Plus I knew Richelle from before she was an author so it's pretty neat to someone I know not only get published but to also be put on the big screen.
