The Mortal Instruments Movie 2012
Oh yeah and I heard that they chose the actress for Clary which is Lily Collins, but I don't know if its official yet
i am really hoping that this movie will not be all cheesey and that it turns out good...i leave my trust in scott stewart's hopefully capable hands...
me too if they mess it up I'm going to be really dissapointed
if they mess it up, they will get hell from fans of the books.
Sarah wrote: "if they mess it up, they will get hell from fans of the books."not necessarily. i mean for example, in new moon, the movie sucked butt(sorry if thats innapropriate but its true), yet all(consollation-MOST) of the fans failed to see that suckish quality because they were so in love with the books that they refused to change their opinions(trust me though, if u read TMI it is a total opinion changer). so ya, in conclusion, i bet if people, lets say, absolutely luv CoB and they refuse to change their view of it or let anythhing or anyone change their view of it, and the movie turns out really crappy(hopefully not) then they'd probably still like it and fail to see past the crappiness. So keep an open mind when reading so you can truly and honestly judge the movie(s?) and not just say they r really good when it really sucks just because of the wonderful effect that the books may have implicated on you. (hopefully-REALLY HOPEFULLY, the movie(s?) do NOT suck.) oh and also, i hate chris weitz for making new moon crappy/sucky......sorry this is long and possibly confusing
ya i know that...movies sometimes are just too much like the books that they arent even their own movie, u know what i mean? but also if its based on a book it should be pretty similar...so it really depends on how u look at it

I think they love the guys more than the story plot itself. They love Edward but some just love Robert Pattinson in general. I think it will be the same in this movie. Just need a pretty face with ok talent and you'll have the next hear throb. Just my oppintion of course so no disrespect to those who like Robery Pattinson.
His physical features are and so are Lilly Collins but I don't know about his acting. Is he british?

didn't see it, but again. Most people look at the face not anything else.
I thought Beastly was good, and I honestly don't care how hot the guys are as long as they don't look like a pile of manure. The only 'problem'- if you can call it that- with Beastly was that I thought the wolf-ape-monster-thing transformation they had in the book was uglier than what they had in the movie. In the movie, the transformation didn't make him look that ugly. But that's not really a problem.

Because his character was kind of awkward after he was cursed or whatever,..."yes but he cud have acted a lot better than that....anyone could act awkward when needed and anyone could act cocky and arrogant when needed....he just didnt act well...he was halfway decent...i mean he IS HOT but his acting was not very good at all
ahhh... alex pettyfer he would be an awesome jace :)
Lily Collins is the only person who was cast till now, i think Alex Petty. is not planning to play Jace :( This is sad, they better choose someone cute or else!!
OMG OMG OMG! Thats awesome! I can't wait til they find the rest of the characters! *Magnus*!!!
Everley Carstairs, the forgotten Shadowhunter wrote: "JAMIE CAMPBELL BOWER HAS BEEN CAST AS JACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now, personally, I am thrilled. I mean, there's nothing absolutely horrifyingly wrong about this. Give him a haircut, curl his hair, ..."Girl are you serious? I loved him from Sweeney Todd! I looked him up and I think he would be ok too but I mean the acting has to be good or else to me it will be another book screwed up to be a movie. I think he looks like blonde, kinda pale Johny Depp. He has that whole "I don't care how I look" vibe going on. His hair was just everywhere in photos. My oppinion is that you shouldn't have long hair when you don't take care of it.

Yeah I read one of the books, I really need to read them I guess, and even the small part I read was screwed up. I'm a major book-to-movie critique so if they screw this up don't be surprised if I come on here and whine about it, just like when I saw Tuck Everlasting and I guess I am Number Four was 'okay'. Oh yeah and I think the director for Twilight by Catherine Hardwicke did way better than Chris Weitz.

Ok I'm just gonna put in my opinion about Jamie Campbell Bower being Jace. This just me, I'm not trying to say that I'm right or smarter than anyone else,AT ALL, it's just me. While I do like Jamie, I thought he was good in Sweeney Todd and he's been great in that Starz channel Camelot series, but he just doesn't look anything like how I pictured jace would look. I really think alex pettyfer would be the absolute best he's exactly as I imagined him. This guy isn't nearly hot enough to be the half-angel and he is so skinny with no muscle definition which though jace isn't that muscular he ain't a shrimp, sorry to Jamie because I DO like him, but it just isn't the best choice in my opinion :(
I agree, I imagined Jace as a buff Alex Pettyfer. Maybe they can beef him up like they did with Taylor Lautner

yupp I'm a big movie critique and I always like to point out everything and its funny how it annoys people who haven't read the book when they hear my ranting, just like I do with every book to movie thing. It always ends with me cursing all of Hollywood and sulking with a book in my room
He's not hot enough. i think he looks too sleezy. they better cut his hair or ill do it for them. they just can't mess up this movie. the books were tooooo good!
Katie wrote: "He's not hot enough. i think he looks too sleezy. they better cut his hair or ill do it for them. they just can't mess up this movie. the books were tooooo good!"Totally agree!!! They CAN'T mess this up!!!
Yeah i agree too...if the events are changed or they skip important things jsut like in Percy Jackson then i will go and kill them...They just cant mess up this movie....OR ELSE xD
ok honestly dont mean to offend but yall are dumb. wait to see if he does the part well befor u talk!!!besides clare LOVES him an she made jace so clearly jamie has something yall dont care enough to see...
also, the alex pettyfer u all want so much truned the roll of jace down so hes a loser in my mind! plus hes ugly an a git!
yupp we the people are some of the biggest movie critiques. For some of us we read the books and the movies can't compare because it was so awesome in our minds. But for those who didn't, it can be an epic movie. So the book and the movie are two very different things. It makes the readers angry sometimes because it can't really be what we thought of when we read it. Also if there is a movie then the book will become popular, but since you watched the movie BEFORE you read it, you will never know what your first impression on the plot or the characters would be like. So, the movie is like a mega spoiler. I still say, as a reader, this should be Hollywood's slogan to some of us readers...

Happily inspired by Yasmeen's post ^-^
oh AND, everyone needs to member, theres this thing called a BUDGET, which is why a lot of the book will be cut out, just like harry potter, the twilight movies, percey jackson, jurassic park, an all other book to movie movies.... we as fans are possta support all choices of the movies or we are not real fans.
i just hope it doesnt end up like Percy Jackson with everything cut off and stuff..or as ugly as twilight..jk the books were probably horrible as well..
honestly, the books are WAAY better then the movies, edward is not possta be so nervus with bella an bella is not THAT stand offish.. an to jackson, I havnt read them yet so I dono.
I don't know about him. I think that one chick is right about judging him. He's probably fine. If he isn't then im gonna:a) shave his head
b) go on a raging stampede and crush the production building
c) stalk him down and....help me out on this one...
I just dont think its right to talk crap when we dono if the movie is goin to rule of suck! it aint right honestly.....
I'm just gonna prepare myself for the worst. It will probably be good and I will regret saying these things.....maybe...
