Also, I would love to see Vampire Academy on the big screen ... they better do a good job because it's one of my favourite series.

I really REALLY think that Dimitri should be a hot unknown too because that man deserves to be stripped nekked and I can't think of a soul that would perfectly fit him. *ponders* <br /><br />But, I think Rose should be someone a bit unknown too. I almost think the unknown aspect gives them the edge we need. That way there isn't any prior "stuff" clouding our vision. [I'm rambling...:D]<br /><br />Sorry.
