SUMMARY:
In 2083, chocolate and coffee are illegal, paper is hard to find, water is carefully rationed, and New York City is rife with crime and poverty. And yet, for Anya Balanchine, the sixteen-year-old daughter of the city's most notorious (and dead) crime boss, life is fairly routine. It consists of going to school, taking care of her siblings and her dying grandmother, trying to avoid falling in love with the new assistant D.A.'s son, and avoiding her loser ex-boyfriend. That is until her ex is accidentally poisoned by the chocolate her family manufactures and the police think she's to blame. Suddenly, Anya finds herself thrust unwillingly into the spotlight--at school, in the news, and most importantly, within her mafia family.
Here is the book’s official trailer:

Did you watch the VMAs tonight? I only tuned in because Twitter was buzzing. I'm so happy I didn't have to sit through the whole show just to see a 30 second teaser trailer, lol... Only maybe 15 minutes!!
If you missed it...or want to see it again...
Click this link to see the first Teaser Trailer on MTV's website!
Too bad it can't be enhanced. I wanted to confirm that I saw feet (Hers? Awaiting opponent's? Dead opponent's?) in one clip but it's too small to see such detail.
Not much to go on yet. For now, I'm still going to assume that the movie will be much too bloody for me to even consider seeing! But oh....the trailer is already on fire....LITERALLY!
Oh, the trailer's now on YouTube: Gonna embed:
