Vampire Academy sequel killed by crowd-funding

Another film in the “Vampire Academy” series looks even more unlikely with a Indie Go Go page set up for the film failing to generate enough dough to raise finance for sequel “Frostbite”. Though hoping to snare $1.5 million to do the next filmish chapter in the literary series cum movie franchise, the crowd-funding exercise resulted in just $254, 500.

One of the producers posted this on the Facebook page for the flick :

“#VAFamily, to those who contributed and to those who helped spread the word, we just want to say Thank You for believing in Frostbite and helping us try to continue the Vampire Academy series. Alas! we did not receive the required contribution, therefore those who contributed on Indiegogo, if you have not already received your refunds, you will shortly. To those who bid on our Ebay auctions, you will still receive your winning items.
To Richelle Mead, Lucy Fry, Dominic Sherwood, Danila Kozlovsky, Sami Gayle, Marci Liroff, Jaymes Bullet and our music Supervisor Howard Paar – a Special Thank You for your contributions and support in bringing the Indiegogo Campaign to life.
Goodbye, for now, Little Dhampir’s!”
