Coming from a creative team, director Mark Waters and script writer Daniel Waters, that separately had a hand in both Mean Girls and Heathers, Vampire Academy is understandably sharper than most YA novel adaptions that have hit the screen in recent years. While still aimed at the teen market, this promises to put a nice supernatural spin on the high school struggle, and, as this trailer goes, has plenty of sassy dialogue to go with the blood sucking.
Synopsis: 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, 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.
