The Last Vampire movie in development, is not the last vampire movie in development

While one might assume that all enthusiasm for vampires would by now be nearly drained—like the human lover of a vampire who teeters sexily on the edge of death, who cannot help but feel a desire to be consumed and so on—one would be naïve. Indeed, naïve as a trusting human caught up in the sort of doomed romance with a creature of the night that’s good for at least $70 million at the box office, probably. There’s still plenty more to be sucked out, with Variety reporting that an adaptation of young-adult novel The Last Vampire is now in the works through producer Michael Preger, who already has another young-adult vampire novel adaptation in the works with The Vampire Academy, and probably uses phrases like “sustained interest in the vampire genre across younger and international markets” very seriously in his conversations.
