The Weinstein Company are hoping screaming teens desperate for more Young Adult bloodsucking following the end of the TWILIGHT sleepfest will chomp on their forthcoming VAMPIRE ACADEMY, which is based on the novel series by Richelle Mead. MEAN GIRLS’ Mark Waters directs the film, adapting a script by his brother, HEATHERS screenwriter Daniel Waters, and here we have the first clip and infographic, looking at the fanged evildoer Strigoi.
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.
VAMPIRE ACADEMY is released in cinemas 14th February 2014 and co-stars Olga Kurylenko, Gabriel Byrne, Sarah Hyland, Joely Richardson, Cameron Monaghan, Sami Gayle, Claire Foy and Ashley Charles.
