'Vampire Academy: Blood Sisters' Has a Director and Cast, is a Thing

Jacob Hall — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 11:33:28 +0000

The basic pitch for the 'Vampire Academy' book series sounds like someone got the grand idea to mash 'Harry Potter' and 'Twilight' together into one franchise...which means the film version is going to make a bajillion dollars. Despite the success of the books and the surefire success of the film, when your movie is called 'Vampire Academy: Blood Sisters,' we're allowed to scoff...because your movie is actually titled 'Vampire Academy: Blood Sisters.'

Anyway, all of this has been a roundabout way of letting you know that the film now has a cast and director.

A few weeks ago we brought the game-changing news for 'The Vampire Diaries' fans that the show's April 25 episode would serve as a backdooor pilot for potential spin-off vehicle 'The Originals,' following fan-favorite character Klaus (Joseph Morgan) as he returns to New Orleans' French Quarter. The CW has yet to make any kind of official decision regarding the spin-off, but for now 'The Originals' has cast yet another familiar face for the episode. Prior guest star Daniel Gillies will reprise his role as Elijah for the episode, becoming a regular on the spin-off, but is 'The Originals' a sure thing?

Okay, so former 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' star Sarah Michelle Gellar's big return to TV with The CW's 'Ringer' didn't exactly work out, but you can't keep a good slayer down. No, it's not that 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' animated series we'd heard about, or even a guest spot under Joss Whedon on ABC's 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' TV series, but rather Sarah Michelle Gellar is reportedly returning to TV in another starring vehicle. Find out the details of SMG's new venture inside!

'Underworld' vs. 'Twilight' — Who Has the Best Vampires?

TheFW Staff — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 13:04:05 +0000

In one corner, we have the vampires from ‘Underworld Awakening,’ who not only possess enhanced speed and strength, but also know how to shoot up the place and look really cool leaping off of tall buildings.

In the other, we have the vampires from the ‘Twilight Saga,’ whose bodies are hard like diamonds, whose bites unleash pent-up stocks up venom that burns their victims, and whose skin sparkles in the day light.

Vampire and a President! I Love to Read.

The book is “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.” This book takes events in history and the [...]
