The Problem When A Screenwriter writing a Screenplay for Vampire Academy
This will be a rant of major thoughts and scenes that I hated and loved to.
I can't get out of my mind how Julie Plea fucked up Vampire Academy screenplay, and the first season. I was mortified completely on some parts. The TV adaption and book from what I have learned are like polar opposites.
The summary of this TV show is coming right now, Rose Hathaway portrayed by Sisi Stringer who is an Aussie actress. She is a Dhampir the guardian of an ancient race called the Moroi. She is best friends with Lissa Dragomir.
The TV series is way different compared to the movie adaption. It feels like polar opposites. I don't understand why screenwriters have to do this.
If I were a screenwriter I would use the author's book as like the holy bible sort of thing. You don't want to disappoint the fans most of all.
"The book and the adaption are two separate entities." says Elorie Blackwell this is my first quote from her.
I think she might be right about this, but like a fan of any book series it doesn't have be two separate entities. Hollywood makes it so it's two separate things.
Me: Baby Do you think a book and a TV adaption is two separate things?
Shane: It is, no screenplay will ever be accurate to the book. For example, see it like managa and anime. The anime will have a different aspect that the managa doesn't have. Managa will have stuff anime doesn't have. I bet you never that Percy Jackson had a book series before the movies. Yet the movies are so good on their.
Me: I read the books for Percy Jackson. And simpler but separate entities baby with Percy Jackson.
Shane: Exactly.
Me: Oh yes but your right. Wish it wasn't though baby.
It's sad that it felt like they had filler just to speed the storyline along. Why kill off Mikael? Why keep Andre alive only to watch Lissa witness his death? And the invasion of the St. Vladimir to the strigoi?
I don't understand that concept of having Lissa find out Andre is alive. Would it sit her off to the darkness for spirit? Mikael dying was the whole point to killing him, to set Sonya down the path who being a Strigoi.
It's so annoying for me, but nevertheless between the books and the TV shows are completely two different things.
“One thing that will be a surprise for fans is that, not only is the show not set in Montana or Pennsylvania, but it’s in this beautiful, epic setting because we were able to shoot it in Spain,” this is so annoying. PA is where the setting takes place in the books. And Queen Tatania Ivashkov isn't even the actual queen in the TV show adaption.
Richelle Mead must be very disappointed in this, what should be a great experience for an author to experience is a nightmare. From the horror stories, I've heard from other authors when they sell their book to an agent, publisher, and that book becomes a TV adaption its a nightmare.
Sources have reported that season 2 has been renewed but it's uncertain right now. But Julie Plea said at Comic Con 2022 that there has been in the works writing has started for the scripts for season 2.
"Executive producer Julie Plec confirmed at the 2022 New York Comic Con that they've definitely planned ahead for a second season. If playback doesn't begin shortly, try restarting your device." -Quote from Julie Plea.
The cast is great I love the diversity never thought I would see mixed cultures though they made it so obvious.
The full cast of Vampire Academy is a huge hit and I love it so much. Though the storyline is a little obscure though in so many levels.

Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller
Perhaps one of the best known modern plays in all of 20th century theatre, ‘Death of a Salesman’ is a 1949 play written by Arthur Miller. Set in Brooklyn, it takes place over two acts and portrays the tragedy of the Loman household - specifically that of protagonist Willy Loman.

Peanuts and Crackerjack
Bottom of the ninth inning. The game is tied with two outs, two strikes and a man on second. I tap the bat on home plate. The rigid vibrations it creates reminds my aching digits that this isn't over. The practice swing only adds to the heft of mental burnout... Man on second, willing to chance it. Pitcher eyes him but doesn't give in to the dangerous bluff. I kick up dust, readying the peculiar stance I've had since the days of little league. The bat lays stiff upon my cramping shoulder. Pain has no reason to be acknowledged; it's a fleeting afterthought. The sun sits passed high noon, but the stadium lights are on anyway. They trick my brain into believing they are the cause of this sweltering heat. Sporadic clouds are motionless, they too, don't want to miss this exhilarating predicament. Anticipating the next pitch, intensifying roars from the crowd rumble the stadium... Behind me, the crafty catcher adjusts his stance and spits to the dry dirt. Behind him, the staunch umpire doesn't flinch or even blink; he knows how important his call will be. The pitcher winds up, his grip tells me its gonna curve. The release is fierce! Beads of sweat from his hair and face disperse in every direction as the force of his might is unfailing. My left leg lifts—an instinctual move that will increase the power of my swing. It's all down to my two, bloodshot eyes. They lock onto the speeding, white dot as it instantly becomes the target I intend to destroy. The swing is late, but I manage a solid tip. The ball is taking a fast bounce toward the pitcher who is recovering from the almighty throw! Man on second leaves in a desperate rush! I fling the bat to the side with a sense of urgency and make a mad sprint to the only destination I have—first base. Three defenders race inward to be the first to retrieve the skidding ball. Man is almost on third! I watch the open glove of my adversary, wondering if I’ve done enough to win this race. I switch my attention to his eyes, looking for a clue, some kind of reaction that tells me the ball is in the air and heading his way. All I see is frustration. The deafening roar of the crowd spikes! Something happens that I can’t see! My opponent abandons his post right as my left stride touches the bag. I waste no time turning my head to see the pitcher laying on his stomach, pounding the mound with an open glove. He misses the opportunity to out me and the ball has quickly bounced past him. Excitement grows! This isn’t over yet... It's become an imperative fight to tag out the runner heading homeward. The catcher falls to his knees in obvious despair as he watches my teammate make the run of his life. He knows it’s going to be close when he sees the shortstop fumble the ball a second too long. I jump up and down with no plans on leaving first base. All my chips are on the speed and agility of the active runner. His cleats dig into the dirt, trailing a dust-filled cyclone from the rapid and strenuous strides. With a thrusting dive and an outstretched arm, he lands on his chest to begin the crucial slide to home plate. The shortstop fires the ball to the catcher! It immediately begins closing the gap! Nail-biting doesn't begin to describe the anxious vibe permeating the stadium. The bench begins to celebrate even before he reaches the plate. Forty thousand cheering fans reach maximum crescendo, filling the air with a glorious sound. Everyone knows how this story will end… My teammate is met by the entire bench as his fingers inch across home plate, instantly followed by the unmistakable motion of the catcher's glove attempting to tag him out—its milliseconds too late. The ump swings his arms outward, officially calling him safe.
