Movie Q&A

Got questions about the Vampire Academy movie? I've got answers! Maybe.

The Weinstein Company, one of the movie's distributors, is offering all fans (no geographic boundaries) the chance to ask me questions about the VA movie! Through next week, they'll be collecting fan questions and then choosing fifteen of them for me to answer on July 22. Hope they're not too tough for me! If you'd like the chance to post a question or two or three, there are a few places you can do it.

1. Right here
Just post your question in the comments! Note: if you post anonymously, the question will be invisible until I get a chance to go through and mark it as not-spam. So, I can't guarantee the Weinstein Company will see it in time. That means if you don't have an LJ account, try one of the other options.

2. Facebook
You can post your question to my Official Facebook page. As of the writing of this blog entry, the post asking for questions is near the top of my FB page. If you don't see it, scroll down until you find the entry mentioning the Weinstein Company's Q&A.

3. Twitter
You can post your question on Twitter! Post it to @OfficialVAMovie and tag it #vampireacademy. No need to send it to me on Twitter. I'm not choosing them, and it'll cost you valuable characters. :)

In other movie news, I can tell you that last I heard, this is the last week of filming. I haven't got 100% confirmation on that, but if you follow the actors on Twitter, you'll know that a bunch of them are wrapping up. Crazy. This, of course, brings up the next big question: when can we see teasers or trailers? All I can advise is patience (which isn't easy for me either!). There haven't been trailers while they're filming, so our odds are definitely better once they have all the footage! Even then, it takes time to edit together really good scenes. Keep in mind that they do about ten takes of each scene. That's a lot to go through. We'll probably see some stills before then, but again, I don't have dates. About the only thing I can say with some certainty is you'll get prop pictures at least once a week...so expect another this week!

Debbie Krumme As the author of the books, are you satisfied with the story line of the movie? Will it follow the first book?


message 2: by Sarah (new)

Sarah Buechel I already posted this on Facebook, but hey I will do it here too. I was wondering if the movie will show the connection that Rose and Lissa have, because you can tell it is very powerful bond that they share just by reading the first two pages. So will they show the feeding, and how rose had to take care of Lissa in the movie?

Maria When is the movie going to come out to the theatres??


message 4: by [deleted user] (new)

My friend and I are big fans of Vampire Academy, and we're very excited for the movie, kind of. We're afraid it's not going to follow the book. We wanted to know if it was going to follow it, and we wanted to know about the cast. Are they going to be famous people or actors/actresses that are new to the acting business?


message 5: by Brittany (new)

Brittany Why do you have a thing for guys with ponytails?! Lol... Dimitri from The Vampire Academy, and Porfirio from Gameboard of the Gods. Btw your like my idol.


message 6: by May (new)

May Do the actors and actresses fit the descriptions of the characters in the book looks wise and also the way the act out the characters personality?


message 7: by Mechelle (new)

Mechelle There are some questions. I don't know what to ask first!!! Will Christian be a snarky and loner-ish in the movie? How will the Strigoi be portrayed?

Thank You for anwsering

Marissa I know movies are NEVER 100% like the book but are you happy with how everything's coming along? (The snazzy movie prop pictures are great and I cant believe how dedicated the prop team is! :D )

The actors seem like very nice, sweet, and dedicated people! Are they anything their characters?

And are you SUPER DUPER excited for everyone to see it on February 14th?! Because I can't wait!!! :D

message 10: by Sara (new)

Sara Have there been any scenes the creators of the movie have wanted to cut out whilst you felt they were important?


message 11: by Sara (new)

Sara How much did you take part in the casting team? ^_^


message 12: by Sara (new)

Sara How did you feel when they told you they wanted to make a movie? Did you plan it all along, that you wanted it to be put on screen?


message 13: by Emily (new)

Emily  Webb What are the biggest differences you've seen in the movie that differ from the book?


message 14: by Emily (new)

Emily  Webb Do the actors seem to be fans of the books?


message 15: by Kimberley (new)

Kimberley When you look at the movie script, what is a scene that is maybe somewhat different but seems so very fitting that you ask yourself: why didn't I do it like that?


message 16: by Sara (new)

Sara If you've been on set a lot, what's your favorite scene so far?


message 17: by Mary (new)

Mary is it possible the movie will come out quicker?
im in love with your books!!!!! i can not wait to read more about your books!


message 18: by monet (last edited Jul 23, 2013 03:27AM) (new)

monet Are you happy with how the film director/producer/writer is planning on visually portraying Rose and Lissa's 'bond' /connection?
Have they been using the books as a guide to portray it in depth?
Are you satisfied with the portrayal of the characters, as in Vampire Academy we learn about the characters sometimes through Rose's thoughts and feelings and so how exactly will this be shown to avoid confusion and misunderstanding?



~ Am I making sense?


message 19: by Kata (new)

Kata Millan Are you satisfied with the script and the cast? Also, will the director change a lot of things? like the scenes or the character?
I'am really looking forward to this movie. Hope it turns out awesome like the book. Can't wait! :)


message 20: by Hannah (new)

Hannah Greer Obviously the movie will differ greatly from the book, that always happens! I would love to hear your perspective of these changes. Do the actors and the script do us justice? Are they believable?


message 21: by Maria (new)

Maria Thanks pailene :-)


♔ InfiniteRoyalty ♔ How do they plan to set out the movie?
Entirely the first book, or a slight mix of the first and second book, or a little preview thing at the end of the movie that leads into the second movie? or maybe a little crossover type thing...

I've seen some pictures, and I cannot wait until the movie comes out!!!


message 23: by Sodapop (new)

Sodapop Will the movie display the attraction and distraction Rose and Dimitri share as in the books or will it be toned down/ tamer?


message 24: by Chrissy (new)

Chrissy Owens My biggest question is, how closely is the movie going to follow the book? Obviously there will be differences, it can't be easy going from page to screen but still how different? Are we talking Lord of the Rings accurate or Eragon disaster?


message 25: by Astra (new)

Astra How many changes have been made from the book to the movie? Lots? Not too many? What are the changes that occurred?


message 26: by Emily (new)

Emily  Webb Is the cast doing their own stunts for the most part?


message 27: by Jana (new)

Jana I am super excited for the movie to come out. I cant wait to see the trailer!!!
Or the movie for that matter. Super pumped!! Cant wait :-)


message 28: by Debbie (new)

Debbie Krumme Do you have any idea when a trailer might come out? The poster is great. (IMDb is a great web sight to check out movies and information on cast members) Vampire Academy is on my watch list and I hope it and it's sequels will be for a while to come.


message 29: by Heather (new)

Heather I'm most excited about the fact it's coming out on my birthday.
