There’s a lot going on in this new one minute trailer for Vampire Academy including a lot of action, biting, witty quips, and a short shirtless one-on-one clip. Coming to theaters next Valentine’s Day, The Weinstein Company’s hoping their first foray into the world of young adult novels-turned-potential-franchise films will lure in a wide-ranging audience and not just those into vampires.

Vampire Academy was adapted from Richelle Mead’s first book of the Vampire Academy series by Daniel Waters and is directed by Mark Waters. The cast is led by Zoey Deutch, Lucy Fry, and Danila Kozlovsky, and includes Sarah Hyland, Cameron Monaghan, Gabriel Byrne, Joely Richardson, Sami Gayle, and Dominic Sherwood.

The Plot:

Vampire Academy tells the legend of Rose Hathaway and Lissa Dragomir, two 17-year-old girls who attend a hidden boarding school for Moroi (mortal, peaceful Vampires) and Dhampirs (half-vampire/half-human guardians). Rose, a rebellious Guardian-in-training and her best friend, Lissa – a royal vampire Princess – have been on the run when they are captured and returned to St. Vladamirs Academy, the very place where they believe their lives may be in most jeopardy.

Thrust back into the perils of Moroi Society and high school, Lissa struggles to reclaim her status while Rose trains with her mentor and love interest, Dimitri (Danila Kozlovsky), to guarantee her place as Lissa’s guardian. Rose will sacrifice everything to protect Lissa from those who intend to exploit her from within the Academy walls and the Strigoi (immortal, evil vampires) who hunt her kind from outside its sanctuary.
