“For instance there is a speech in the teaser that Lissa gives, and it’s not strictly in the book. But it is kind of a companion piece to being in the book where the queen humiliates Lissa. And that actual speech, trust, I swear to God you guys are going to like it! But the way it’s cut into that teaser and it’s like, “And blood is death!” Then everyone starts cheering at blood is death and I am like what is going on? They are going to think, “okay let’s all be humans now.” It’s very misinterpreted, and it is just marketing.”
— Daniel Waters on Vampire Academy teaser trailer
I kinda like that he is so aware about all the things that the fans are saying, like Rose under the desk, the speech of Lissa etc… And he is explaining what they show that in the trailer. I like that he does that, I don’t know if others screenwriters have done the same thing about their movies because I’m not such a great fan of other books like I’m of VA
They’re showing different things in the trailer for marketing and publicity…. We have to wait to see the movie. I’m really excited with this. I feel that Dan and the rest of the crew who worked at the movie did an amazing job
