Vampire Academy bosses detail 13-year fight for TV series adaptation
books. But I kinda gotta make sure I’m not cannibalizing my own show first.”
for television. In 2007/8 when I read the books for the first time, it wasn't a show I think you could have done very easily for television. The world is too big, the price tag attached to it was probably too high for what people were doing back then in television, especially anything that you might call young adult programming.
For me personally, I always ask myself the question, 'if I was immortal, what's the one thing I would want more than anything?' And my answer is love. Because what's the point of living forever if you've got no one to stand by your side? So I'm partial to that idea of a vampire always seeking out their, for lack of better word,"twin flame". You've got to have someone to walk the earth with if you're going to be walking the earth forever.
Probably most of the things that you see at some point or another in the book series you will end up seeing in this series as well. There's a few things that kind of had to get set aside, it was a different time. Rose being a 17 year old girl with her teacher… we maybe had to like tighten up that age gap a little.They're closer in age, she's 18...so it's just a little different.
