Mark Waters to take on another teen-oriented vampire series
"First announced back in 2010, Richelle Mead's hit book series Vampire Academy is headed to the big screen. Today, Deadline announces that Mean Girls director Mark Waters has signed on to direct the first film in a planned franchise with a cast that now includes Zoey Deutch, Lucy Fry and Danila Kozlovski. The title has been amended as well and the first film will now be known as Vampire Academy: Blood Sisters.
The Vampire Academy book series is a coming-of-age, action driven, "paranormal romance" fantasy. It is set in the present day against a hidden universe of vampires, half-humans, alchemy, and magic. The series centers on a strong, yet flawed, 17-year-old female who confronts her world with grit, determination, and lots of moxie. Rose Hathaway is a dhampir, half human/half vampire and guardian of the Moroi, a race of peaceful and magical mortal vampires who can walk in the daylight, survive by feeding off willing blood donors, grow old and die. Hidden deep in the forests of Montana is St. Vladimir's Academy, where Moroi and dhampirs learn to take their place in Moroi society. Rose must master her inherited abilities as a dhampir and earn the approval of the Royal Council, as guardian to Princess Lissa, her best friend and sole heir of one of the twelve Royal families of Moroi. Rose and Lissa share a mysterious psychic bond and sense of destiny, but first they must survive an intense social scene, politics and the physical challenges of Moroi life at the Academy. Outside the sanctuary of St. Vladimir's waits their greatest threat of all, the Strigoi, a race of bloodthirsty immortal vampires and predators of the Moroi."http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=99802__________________________________________________________________________ I like Waters, but I wish he was doing something different than this...

Its gross will be closer to The Vampire's Assistant than Twilight.

Well, much closer. I mean as long as it grosses less than $103 million, it will be closer to he Vampire's Assistant And I'd be surprised if it did more than $60 million...

Re: Mark Waters to take on another teen-oriented vampire ser
This feels too obvious. "Vampire Academy." Come on. Might as well call it Gossip Vamp. Twilight, love it or despise it, connected to its audience via its characters and their world.
