Photos of the 'real' St Vladimir Academy

“We found this school and as soon as we drove onto the campus, I thought that this is Vampire Academy. This is the closest thing I’ve seen to it, to the image in my brain of what this place should look like. You know, a large campus with a lot of interesting buildings and connections to a lot of secret passageways to it. It had the feeling of the school sitting right there already.”

— Mark Waters (Director of Vampire Academy)

Its Friday and we have a new VAset Visit Interview: Richelle Mead

AUTHOR @RICHELLEMEAD OPENS UP ABOUT HAVING HER BOOK MADE INTO A MOVIE

Richelle Mead is possibly one of the nicest people in the world. She’s an amazing author and loves talking to the fans. We were lucky enough that we caught up with her on the set of Vampire Academy – and she took the time from watching them film her movie to talk to us and our friends from Page to Premiere and Hypable.

We’ve met a lot of authors, and we have to say that Richelle is one of the kindest and most humble. She truly appreciates the fans. We couldn’t be more excited about Vampire Academy.

Must be quite an odd experience, coming to the set of a film based off a book you have written.

Richelle: It’s definitely overwhelming and it’s mind-blowing to me the work that goes into a movie. That’s what astonishes me more than this is my book. I had no idea the level of detail that they do. I mean, I don’t know if you have looked around, but even the handouts on their desk are real assignments. And every piece of clothing. I mean when you think about it there are hundreds of people who gone through that level of detail for my book. That’s just like wow, it’s unbelievable.
