New Vogue Interview with Lucy Fry

Introducing Lucy Fry: The Vampire Academy Ingénue on Moving to L.A. and Why to Expect Her in Stella McCartney Soon

As the striking Australian 21-year-old import whose breakout movie, Vampire Academy, is in theaters today, Lucy Fry is riding the wave of publicity that naturally attends a film costarring the equally beautiful Zoey Deutch, former Bond Girl Olga Kurylenko, andModern Family’s Sarah Hyland. And while Fry wore Giulietta to Tuesday’s Los Angeles premiere, we expect it won’t be long before she takes up Stella McCartney, and maybe Organic by John Patrick, and Edun, too, while we’re at it. We also don’t doubt that post-Vampire Academy, young Fry will have invitations aplenty and occasion to support all three. 

Where are you at the moment?
I’m in Venice [California] at my apartment. I’ve lived in Los Angeles on and off for about five months and I’m kind of halfway between L.A. and Australia still.

You’re still fresh off the boat!

Well, the first time I came to California was in January 2013, when I auditioned for Vampire Academy. Then I went back to Australia for a bit and we filmed in London, and then I went home again to do another movie. I was kind of scared when I finally got here four months ago.

Things have happened fast, then. Had you been to London before?
Once just for a week. I got the script [for Vampire Academy] when I was in London and then I got to go back and film it there, so it was a nice circle.

EXCLUSIVE: Dhampir Life Interviews Richelle Mead

We were very lucky to be given the opportunity to interview Richelle Mead about the very first Vampire Academy: Blood Sisters Teaser Trailer! We had a limited amount of questions to ask, but we couldn't be any happier with all the info and insight we've received. Read our exclusive interview below!

The visuals we've seen so far have been absolutely phenomenal. There were a few scenes in the teaser that were so incredible—and way beyond what we could have ever imagined ourselves—that they were almost unrecognizable. Were there any particular scenes or details you've witnessed on set or seen in the teaser you wish you could have come up with yourself?
One of the things I’ve been most jealous of since reading the script is Daniel Waters’s hilarious dialogue!  Man, I wish I’d written some of that.  When you guys actually get snippets of scenes and the characters talking, you’re going to love it.  It’s so funny at times…and so serious and poignant at the others.  He’s a master.

But on to your actual question about visuals.  I LOVE what they did.  There are so many things that they just took and made visually bigger and better than my initial imaginings.  I can envision a lot of things, but my main focus when writing a book is character, dialogue, and emotion.  And I can get away with describing my settings in minimal detail because you, my readers, do some of the work for me with your imaginations.  But the set designers have to take care of every detail.  They don’t have the same outs that I have.  Fortunately, visuals are their specialty. Whatever I can imagine, they imagine a hundred times more.  One of the most stunning sets in the whole movie is the chapel attic.  What’s especially amazing about it is that they actually built it.  Some scenes, like the classrooms, were filmed on location in real places.  But they made the chapel from scratch, and it’s breathtaking.  When you put Lissa and Christian into that for their first meeting…well, I can’t even describe how powerful that is.
