Latest ‘Vampire Academy’ Poster Lacks Bite But Has Legs

A bright French poster has surfaced for The Weinstein Company’s adaptation of Young Adult novel series VAMPIRE ACADEMY by Richelle Mead, which they hope will be the new craze for the teens missing their dose of TWILIGHT tepidness. Given the talent involved, I doubt we’ll have anything as dire of as those films with the director of the terrifically biting MEAN GIRLS, Mark Waters, adapting a script by his brother Daniel Waters, the acclaimed screenwriter of the cult classic HEATHERS. Having said that, how the hell did the likes of Bill Condon and David Slade get involved in that vamps verses wolves mess? We live in hope!

VAMPIRE ACADEMY tells the legend of Rose Hathaway (Zoey Deutch) and Lissa Dragomir (Lucy Fry), two 17-year-old girls who attend a hidden boarding school for Moroi (mortal, peaceful Vampires) and Dhampirs (half-vampire/half-human guardians). Rose, a rebellious Guardian-in-training and her best friend, Lissa – a royal vampire Princess – have been on the run when they are captured and returned to St.Vladamir’s Academy, the very place where they believe their lives may be in most jeopardy. Thrust back into the perils of Moroi Society and high school, Lissa struggles to reclaim her status while Rose trains with her mentor and love-interest, Dimitri (Danila Kozlovsky), to guarantee her place as Lissa’s guardian. Rose will sacrifice everything to protect Lissa from those who intend to exploit her from within the Academy walls and the Strigoi (immortal, evil vampires) who hunt her kind from outside its sanctuary.

Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
