Fair or not, any big-screen attempt at a young adult supernatural novel is going to draw comparisons with that woefully wretched TWILIGHT franchise. We just live in hope these future efforts in the genre are put together better than those sleep-inducing shitfests featuring Robert ‘pasty-faced’ Pattinson and Kristen ‘can’t smile’ Stewart. One such feature on the way is VAMPIRE ACADEMY, which is based on the book series by Richelle Mead. MEAN GIRLS’ Mark Waters directs from a screenplay by HEATHERS’ Daniel Waters (his elder brother) and here we have the brand new poster from the film hitting cinemas from 14th February 2014.
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.Vladamirs 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.
VAMPIRE ACADEMY stars Zoey Deutch, Lucy Fry, Danila Kozlovsky, Gabriel Byrne, Sarah Hyland, Joely Richardson, Cameron Monaghan, Sami Gayle, Claire Foy and Ashley Charles.
