The biggest draw for the latest vampire movie isn't the hot young things starring it it, it's the two middle-aged Waters Brothers. The director from Mean Girls and writer of Heathers combined their powers to steal the thunder from the baby vamps on stage at New York Comic-Con. And thank god for it.

Based on the very জনপ্রিয় Richelle Mead vampire series, Mark Waters (Mean Girls director) and Daniel Waters (Heathers) took the stage with two of their new ভ্যাম্পায়ার and the Vampire Academy তারকা Zoey Deutch, who will be playing the ass-kicking Rose Hathaway.

It was all turning out to be another collection of good-looking kids with অতিপ্রাকৃতিক powers that was good but not good enough to garner a lot of heat (it was Mortal Instruments all over again). But then the Waters brothers took the wheel and showed off some pretty fun footage. And we're back in the bag for Vampire Academy.
