Its right in saying that there are many, many, many Vampire Academy fans out there. It is also right in saying that any book with that amount of fans (very crazy and enthusiastic ones) will have cause to become a film.
It is for this reason that this page has been created. Because rumors are flying everywhere.
As of September 4 2011, this is what we know:
- Preger Entertainment has acquired the film rights to Vampire Academy. So now they're just sitting pretty.
- Although Preger entertainment is trying to auire a studio and crew, they have so far made no deals.
About this much is stated on the author Richelle Mead's page:
An author can't just decide to make a movie, not unless she has $50 million sitting around or her own studio! A studio needs to agree to take the project and invest the money. Right now, VA film rights are in the control of Preger Entertainment, who is trying to get a studio on board. Until that happens, there is no filming, no script, and NO casting happening. Everything is on hold. So far, there have been no studio deals, likely because this a vampire saturated market. So, the short answer to this question is, "I don't know." :) Read this post to get the facts on that and this interviewwhere they answer popular questions. Preger also maintains an active Facebook page with updates. IMDB has a page with a release date, but that's just a placeholder. There is no real date yet because nothing is in production.
So it looks like Vampire Academy Fans may just have to wait.
