According to IMDB, the movie's coming out Valentine's Day 2014, and the three main characters have supposedly been cast. So here's my official evaluation of how who they cast lined up with my expectations:
Rose:
Zoey Deutch
(This girl seems pretty well cast, actually. She has that striking beauty that I imagined Rose having, but she looks like she could kick some butt too.)
Lissa:
Lucy Fry
(Well, at least she's blonde, but Lucy doesn't quite fit my image of Lissa. Lucy's got a quirky beauty, while I always pictured Lissa as being a more delicate, classical kind of pretty.)
Dimitri:
Danila Kozlovskiy
(There were better pictures of him out there, but I picked this one because he had long hair like Dimitri. I think this guy has a brooding, hunky vibe that will work for Dimitri, but while Danila's hot, I always imaginged Dimitri looking a bit more Eastern European.)
So there you have it. What do you think about the casting/movie? I don't have particularly high expectations for this film, but hey, it could still be fun, right? And if you haven't read the Vampire Academy books yet, get going!
My Vampire Academy reviews:
I am super excited about the film! I've liked the official vampire academy movie page on FB and they put updates up every few hours so it's hard not to get swept up in the hype. I don't mind the casting of Dimitri but I think Zoey is too delicate looking for Rose. Hopefully they do some Hollywood magic and make her a bit tougher looking.
