Bloody Bookaholic's Commandment:
Thou Shall Read Till Thy Eyes Bleed
Let us all get together and watch this trailer please, because it looks so good...
*Sigh* I definitely need to re-read the book before this movie comes out!!! The movie is looking good, and did you guys know
City of Ashes is already on the works? Everybody has high hopes for City of Bones, as they should, it looks kick ass!

| Why hello there rough looking guy, I think I may be able to dig you... |
I still don't like Lissa, or Rose for that matter, but I may be liking Dimitri a
little bit. I think I've come to terms with the fact that these are the people that are going to play the characters, forever, and I should just deal. Sophia Bush is still my Rose, and Kiersten Prout is still my Lissa. Ben Barnes will always be my imaginary Dimitri. BUT I am willing to give this new guy a tiny chance.
As I was going through Facebook looking for updates I saw
this link (Page to Premiere), it has a compiled list of questions that were asked to Richelle Mead via Twitter about the Vampire Academy Movie ( the questions not pertaining to the Movie were left out in this post). I would say read at your own discretion, but really you don't need to be discreet...
Q: Are you happy with the cast of @OfficialVAMovie? Zoey, Danila and Lucy?
A: Very happy! @OfficialVAMovie has done an exceptional job. I’m so, so excited.Q: Has Christian been cast yet?

A: I haven’t seen the latest draft, but the last script I saw had all the essentials, imo.Q: are afraid the va movie might flop seen as how people who haven’t read the books might think of it as a twilight copy?
A: There’s always that chance, but it won’t change the books or the people who love the books. 
Q: are you hoping they are going to make a movie for bloodlines is VA goes well????
A: It’d be great, but that’s a lot of books away! 
Q: What is one scene that you absolutely want in the movie
A: When I saw the script, everything important seemed to be there!

Q: how did Vampire Academy come about?

A: I hope so! It’s still early, so there’s still a lot of details to work out. 
Q: will u b appearing in the movie?
A: I sincerely doubt it. 
...because this doesn't give us any new information. Seriously? At least give us something! Every other answer is either "SO EXCITED!" or a total avoidance of the actual question. I know the author is supposed to be all "WOOHOOO I AM SO HAPPY THEY PAID ME MORE MONEY TO MAKE MY BOOK A MOVIE" but an honest to god answer would be good as well (not that that isn't an honest answer, I am sure it is, but tell us a LITTLE about what's going on, specially the script! Even that answer was avoided). I know she is excited, but at least give us something new and not the same old responses. This reads like every other interview with no real meat.

The explosive finale to Marie Lu’s New York Times bestselling LEGEND trilogy—perfect for fans of THE HUNGER GAMES and DIVERGENT!
He is a Legend.
She is a Prodigy.
Who will be Champion?
June and Day have sacrificed so much for the people of the Republic—and each other—and now their country is on the brink of a new existence. June is back in the good graces of the Republic, working within the government’s elite circles as Princeps Elect while Day has been assigned a high level military position. But neither could have predicted the circumstances that will reunite them once again. Just when a peace treaty is imminent, a plague outbreak causes panic in the Colonies, and war threatens the Republic’s border cities. This new strain of plague is deadlier than ever, and June is the only one who knows the key to her country’s defense. But saving the lives of thousands will mean asking the one she loves to give up everything he has. With heart-pounding action and suspense, Marie Lu’s bestselling trilogy draws to a stunning conclusion.
Hopefully, HOPEFULLY, Champion will not disappoint. After the
Requiem Fiasco I am expecting anything and everything. You never know but somehow I don't think Champion will let us down. Let us hope I don't eat my words later on! As I said before the only thing I don't want to see in this book is more of Tris, her and her mood swings annoyed me in Prodigy >.<
