Steven R. McQueen—the grandson of Steve McQueen—is set to play Jeremy in Vampire Diaries, a pilot for The CW, Variety reported.
McQueen's credits include Everwood and CSI: Miami. Warner Brothers TV is producing Vampire, along with Alloy Entertainment.
Vampire Diaries is based on books originally published in 1993—well before Stephenie Meyer's Twilight—and revolves around a young woman who's torn between two vampire brothers. The brothers—one good, one evil—are battling for her soul and the souls of her pals, her family and the small town where they live.
The CW has reunited with Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer writer Kevin Williamson to executive-produce and write. Julie Plec (Kyle XY) is also on board to write and executive-produce.

Yes, Vampire Diaries was written long before S. Meyers Quartet....but they are not nearly as well written. You don't fall in love with the "pretty, popular" girl anywhere near as easily.
I'm going to keep an open mind about this even with the changes. So I won't be one of those insane fans bitching before the thing is even filmed.
Could anyone give a brief summary of the main points of the books? The local library doesn't have them where I'm at. Thanks!
