Vampire Academy movie set, Part 1!

I've been pretty bad about blogging, so a lot of my updates have come via social media lately. If you follow me there, you probably know the exciting news: I'm currently in London, visiting the set of the Vampire Academy movie! My journey started with a sleepless 9-hour flight from Seattle, which seemed incredibly long until I was met with awestruck looks from people who'd taken 6 hours to fly from New York and couldn't figure out how the math added up, seeing as it takes almost 5 hours to fly from Seattle to New York. Apparently, my flight headed north and flew over Canada and Greenland (a route so northerly it never got truly dark out), and that shortened global circumference led to a "speedy" flight.

But you don't care about geometry. You want to know if I met Danila Kozlovsky and if he's as handsome in person as in his pictures. The answers are yes and even more yes. But I'll get there.

Joining me in London are my literary agent Jim McCarthy and Penguin US marketing director Erin Dempsey. We arrived at the VA set in early evening yesterday, where they were filming at a local university. Producers Don Murphy and Susan Montford met us and led us straight into...a classroom at St. Vladimir's Academy. Yup, there we were sitting off to the side of a giant lecture hall filled with Moroi and dhampirs. I can't tell you what they were filming, but I will say it was a scene from the book, one that's a big favorite. It's such a favorite of mine that after watching ten takes of it, I could've watched about ten more.

Olga Kurylenko for Fade In Magazine + Interview & BTS Video

Who’s inspired your work the most? For acting? Emily Watson in Breaking the Waves. I saw that movie when it first came out, and when I came out of the theater I said to myself, “If that’s what acting is, that’s what I want to do.” That’s when I made my first step. Not just to take classes, but to find an agent.

As a woman, in life, apart from acting? I am inspired by Simone de Beauvoir. Her writings have really informed my thinking: about the way to be, the way to construct your life. I really admire that woman — she was so strong and so smart. I wish I had her brain! I’m fascinated by smart people. I love reading philosophy.
