OMG!!!! i cant believe there’s going to be a movie. Oh god, please, Cassandra Clare, choose an experienced director and producer, or it’ll turn out like the twilight and eragon movie, which btw, is so much more crap than the book. and to think the books were soooo good. a complexed book like the mortal istruments, twilight and eragon, should be made by experienced movie dirctors, producers and actors. please, please, please dont make that mistake!! no offense, but such a great book shouldn’t be made into a crap movie. i really, really hope that wont happen.

I can’t believe they’re making a movie! Gah! This is so amazing! After thinking that A Great & Terrible Beauty was going to finally be made into a movie, only for it to fall through, I was totally depressed (still hoping though). But this so makes up for it! As long as the screenplay is written by Cassandra Clare (and is therefore awesome), and the right actors are picked, this could be amazing! =)

I totally agree with you guys. It better be amazing. Better than Twilight or Eragon. And Alex as Jace! Oh, and I forgot to mention that the 4th book about Simon is called City of Fallen Angels!

I really want to read the book… Actually I think Im more excited for the book than the movie. Is that wrong of me?

Alex Pettyfer = Jace Wayland!

i totally agree with you Jennibear8504. the books are always soo much better. i haven’t heard of one book turned movie where the movie was better. well, except for harry potter. but then again, im not a fan of harry potter books. are the movies better?

I think the HP movies are good, really good actually but not better than the books…

Alex Pettyfer – he is the only Jace Wayland.

omygosh!! i am so excited!! I hope the actor that would be portraying Jace would be as hot as his description in the book! RAAAWR!! I LOVE JACE! HAHAHA

OH MY GOD. This is amazing! I hope they don’t fail us like they did Twilight. Alex Pettyfer HAS to be Jace or else its over for me.

no way!! not alex pettyfer!! peter from the chronicles of narnia!!! William Moseley!!!

I personally think they should hire the director of harry potter for mortal instruments. it works because harry potter was done by warner bros and so will mortal instruments. they need to hire skilled actors that noone will recognize otherwise it will end up being compared to the other movies that those actors were in. all in all this could be a very successful movie if they keep it accurate to the book unlike eragon. they just can’t fuck this up or i will be pissed this is the best book ever nothing else compares. long live the mortal instruments series.

i also think magnus bane should be played by adam lambert. take a second to imagine that. adam lambert with blue spiked hair = PERFECTION!!

omg, adam Lambert would be perfect for Magnus!! I have only read the first 2 books (so far) but i am totally more addicted to them than i EVER was addicted to Twilight! I hope that Catherine chic or what ever her name is, doesnt direct the movie like she did for twilight and like she is doing for Maximum ride. I CANT WAIT!!

is it true that Stacey Farber will play Clary? i think that could work out well!

omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! city of angels?!?!?!?!!! so hot! i love the way jACE LOOKS!

stacey farber? you’ve gotta be kidding. hello, she’s 22 yrs old. clary is supposed to be 16 and she’s small so she looks younger.

If I recall correctly, the company that helped produce the Lord of the Rings movies will be working on this movie! Note to producers: if the movie strays from the book, you risk a lot. If they can pull this off correctly and awesomely, this is going to be one EPIC film!

JACE HAS TO BE ALEX PETTYFER

OMG!!!!!!!!! So excited. U know I think that the worst Clary ever would be Miley Cyrus. Well she is short and almost red haired it would be terrible. Go Alex Pettyfer! U Rock

PS:More Books Please

if the producers of lord of the rings are doing this then we’re in the clear. no adam lambert, gag me with a freakin spoon, but deffinetly alex for jace. i’m holding my breath, this better be good.

pleeease no not alex! I know he is hot and would be ok, but he is dfntly NOT as hot as I imagine Jace to be. Well I guess no-one can be as hot as jace is, cuz jace is HOT. They better not mess up this movie i love the books too much!

cant wait for the 4th book!!!!!

I think they should cast Molly Quinn from the show Castle as Clary. She’d be perfect. She’s a great actress and I believe could really portray the essence of Clary’s character, as well as being a beautiful red head.

loved the books! i hope alex pettyfer gets to play Jace. he’d be absoluely perfect, because jace needs to look smart but hot at the same time. and a bit arrogant too. <3 they better not eff this up like they did to twilight. im holding my breath for a good cast and movie.

DAMN!!!!! Alex Pettyfer should reallly be Jace!!!!
If ur going to pick another, pick someone who is worthy don’t do the same mistake as twilight. Edward should be HOt not like a GAY HOBO

ok so i just finished the second book yesterday. I LOVED IT!!!!!
im totally agreeing with yall bout Alex. he’d be PERFECT!
i think Clary should be Emma Roberts (expecally when she’s in this pic) http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3028/3383828940_08c208cbcc_o.jpg

simon- ricky ullman (kinda, but he can use some work)

and i think luke should be Matthew Davis,
(i sall him while i was watching a recorded re-run of the vampire diaries, he’s ‘uncle zach’, and thought he’d be perfect!)
Jocelin- Kate Walsh
Simon- David Archuletta
valentine- Daniel Craig
sorry if i have bored you with my almost ‘perfect’ cast, and sorry it’s so long geeze it’s like a whole book in itself lol.

OMG I LOVE this book. I literally Laughed out loud when i found out the main character had the same name as me!! I even have red hair! Funny huh? Anyways im totally psyched about the movie! I think that the person who directed the New Moon movie or maybe another director like Daniel Yates? Can’t wait! Hope it comes out a day i can see a midnight showing of!! Fingers Crossed for everything to go great!

no friggin way! are you serious? definitely NOT a director of the twilight series. the movies are friggin CRAP!!

Alex Pettyfer has to be Jace.

ok sooooooo best books ever!!!!!!!
molly quinn has to be clary and alex is as close as we can prob. geet to jace soooooo he has to be the one

OMGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!! Bill from tokio hotel NEEDS 2 b Magnus. It is that simple.Clary – Alexz Johnson
Jace – Alex Pettyfer

I have to agree with Adam Lambert playing Mangus, he is who I thought of when his character was introduced. As far as the others, well….
Clary – Molly Quinn
Jace – William Mosely or Alex Pettyfer
Alec – Thomas Dekker
Isabelle – Abbie Cornish
Simon – Skandar Keynes or Anton Yelchin
Jocelyn – Ayelet Zurer
Luke – Sam Trammell or Dominic Purcell

OMG. a great and terrible beauty was going to be made into a movie and they didn’t do it?!?!? are you kidding me? that book is genius! and i just started reading cassandra clare’s series and she’s already one of my favorite authors

yes!!! finally someone who has the right idea!! jace = William Mosely!!! <3
clary = Molly Quinn!! molly looks small enough to be clary and perfect. she’s got red hair, pale skin. perfecto!!

uh, virginia?? clary’s supposed to be 16 not 23!! plus she’s small for her age.

ALEXZ JOHNSON CLARY ALLLLLL THE WAYYYYY WHO AGREES?

no way!!! she’s toooo old!!! urgh. the movie would suck if she played clary.

well i think she’d be fine or they could have molly quinn play her is that better?

well i think she’d be fine or they could have molly quinn play her is that better?

molly quinn i think would be better. and she’s the same age as clary right?

YESS!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM SOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!!! Best new ever!! and i agree that molly quinn would be good for clary but you know what I don’t care who they get for anyone as long as they can act the part because then i will probably forget that they don’t look like how i pictured and fall in love with them. But hopefully they will get young actors cause i hate when they have like 25 year olds play 16 yr olds. it just looks bad. But if i had a choice for simon it would be Logan Lerman, and Alex Pettyfer does look like jace but jace can’t just be pretty,so they need a good actor or the movie will suck.

well i think a movie would be great coz the books are sooooooo good but i dont want them to make a movie coz i like imaging the characters myself and i dont want them to stuff it up like so many movies that are origanally books

if they are going to make a movie yer i agree molly quinn would be a great clary

i agree with you. i like imagining the characters for myself. if they make a movie with the wrong actors, they’ll totally ruin the book, just like they ruined twilight!

Every time i read about Magnus Bane I always see him as Russel Brand. Spikey heair excentric… a little bizarre lol

Yes! Me And my friends are crazy bout the book and Now its going to be a film!

Okay I am sooo excited!!! woot woot!! but omg i hope that its gonna be more then one movie- you know not all the books cramped in one movie…. other then that I PRAY THAT THE EFFECTS AND ACTING WELL BE SOOOOOOOO MUCH BETTER THEN TWILIGHT!!! BECAUSE I LOVE THIS BOOK SERIES AND I WOULD BE SOOOO FURIOUS IF THE MOVIE(S) IS SUCKY…. other then that Im soooo excited

Is it weird for me to say that I dont think I want a movie out? I mean if they get great actors and a good director but stil …
Twilight was ruined for me cos of the terrible acting. I mean Kristen Stewartt was rubbish. But I love these books and if the movie/s ruin them then … I will seriously cry.
Also, William Mosely or Alex Pettyfer do not cut out to be Jace. I think that having actors in a movie take over from a book changes the way you see the character. I do think that Sam Trammell or Dominic Purcell could play the part of Luke though – it fits perfectly.

If they manage to pull it off though … I will be pleased!! I mean how awesome are the books!!

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!
I cant wait!!! this is my favourite book series!
I love Jace!!! For Jace i think that the guy who played in the original starwars (anakin/darth vader)should play him! or Alex Pettyfer. They’re as close as anyone could get to Jaces hottness

Here are my top picks for Jace:
1.Alex Pettyfer
2.William Moseley
3.Hayden cChristensen

I am always nervous when they decide to make a book I like into a movie. I disagree with all these lists, a lot of good movies even fantasy (LOTR, Harry Potter) or sci-fi (Star Trek)types are really good and I think it is because they choose people based on talent not on popularity.

Twilight made me cringe, Kristen Stewart is an emotionless zombie, Robert Pattinson is just bad, oh god he is a bad actor. No one with any taste could actually say the movies are good, I tried because I loved the books.

I like Mortal Instruments better than Twilight so I hope they really search for good talent and devote a lot of time into making this movie amazing. I mean Peter Jackson spent a year making Hobbiton just so the movie could be perfect.

i read the books over and over but the film scares me… i really hope they have open auditions for this film because i don’t want any actor i’ve seen before – it would ruin it for me and i’m sure for a lot of other fans.

i think alex pettyfer would be a good jace but i think that the “real” jace is out there but he’s just an unknown actor. that sounds weird but the worlds a big place same with all the other characters and i hope they look for them properly otherwise i’d be devostated! hahah!

Jace Wayland played by Alex Pettyfer it has to be he will be the perfect person to play him please consider him

Omg!!!!!!!!! Nooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! Alex pettyfer can’t be Jace!!!!! Jace is Hot with a capital hhhhhhhhh!!!!!! And, no affence but Alex looks like used toilet paper!!!!! If Alex plays Jace I will freaking die!!!!!!! It’s my favorite book!!! Please don’t ruin the movie!!!! Please have some smarts when picking out the cast and the directed!!!! Don’t be like twilight!!! I need good news after hearing the worst about maximum ride (which has the director of twilight as its directer)

I agree, known actors will ruin the movie for me. No offence alex fans – I’m one too, he’s gorgeous! But he’s not Jace :/

Omg!!!!!!!!!!!!! The perfect sparkleboy!!!!! Aka magnus bane!!!!! Bill kaulitz from Tokio hotel!!!!! Look he’s freaking perfect!!!!! http://i36.tinypic.com/20u76ae.jpg

I SOOO AGREE THAT ALEX PETTYFER SHOULD BE JACE!!!!! god talk about exactually what i pictured when i read the books!!!

I also agree with adam lambert or bill kaulitz. they would both be a great magnus….. but i think adam would be more confertable with the part then bill cause bill isnt gay. expecially if they do the 3rd book as a movie….. because if you read it you know. lol

I heard somewhere that they are going to smash all three books into one movie. I hope they don’t!
Not to bash Twilight, but they are less action-filled and a simpler plot and they were made into separate films. I hope they don’t because of the whole brother/sister storyline, I guess that twist could gross out nonbookreading movie goers.

Just hope they do the effects and casting well!

OMG!!!!!! I can’t believe it!!
YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY! <3<3<3<3<3
wait.. when’s it gonna come out?

i hate how every book that is being made into a movie is being compared to Twilight…i dnt even think most twilight fans have ever even heard of this book! >:( But i’m soo excited about who is going to be playing who!! (as long as no twilight ppl are in this movie >:(

Okay… im a Twilight fan all the way and I know this Heather girl shouldnt be saying what she said about how Twilight Fans is doing whatever- cause I know the books and Im excited about the movie… but people like this heather girl shouldnt be talking about what Twilight fans should or shouldnt do– certain things need to be kept unsaid unless you want to a mouth full. ANYWAYSSS im excited for the Mortal Instruments movie as any other fan is

i totally think that kellan lutz should play jace!!!!! finding someone to play clary will be difficult. but valentine should be played by corvinus (from the second underworld movie. he plays marcus’ father. TERRIFIC!!) i’m so excited! i barely got into the series last week and have already read all three books, could’t put them down!! i’m telling everyone how freakin sweet they are. spread the word!!

okay ppls heres what i think some will like it and some wont
Alexz Johnson – clary
alex pettyfer- jace
bill from tokio hotel as long as his hair doesnt look like cher’s – magnus
Dominic Pucell – luke
anton yelchin- simon
abbie cornish – isabelle
i picture alec as someone that doesnt look emo or goth i pictured him more as a prep cuz he’s trying to hide being gay to his parents
i pictured jocelyn as being amazingly gorgeous like Ayelet Zurer but more bad ass looking
valintine needs to look creepy but handsome at the same time so we’re know hes a bad guy but we can see why jocelyn would fall in love with him almost like jeff goldblum
but as long as they put some one who can act in there and stick to the story for the most part i’ll be one happy chick
and oh god i hope it turns out way better than twilight
i wish every one the best of luck and try not to screw this one up please

K, you guys Alex Pettyfer is really good looking but he is so not Jace! William Moseley 4 Jace, Molly Quinn for Clary and Adam Lambert for Magnus totally!

I REALLY don’t think that Alex Pettyfer is good for Jace (then again who is?) but Molly Quinn as Clary would be awesome! I’ve been watching Castle for ages and it’s weird ‘cos i never thought of her as Clary but she’d be great. They wouldn’t have to dye her hair and she’s a really good actress.
Oh god please don’t let it turn out like Eragon that movie seriously sucked. And I hoe it doesn’t turn out like twilight either.
IF YOU HAVEN’T READ MAXIMUM RIDE I SUGGEST YOU DO IT’S SOOOOO AWESOME!!!
and it’s being turned into a movie directed by catherine hardwicke…oh crap

Noooooo. Alex pettyfer would succk. Not saying he is rubbish or anything. :]
I hope this film will be good or it might like ruin the whole thing. It can’t turn out like twilight or harry potter
Pleaaaase make the film gooood!lol.

OMFG!!!! I’m like soooooo totally excited! I can’t wait for the movie! Alex Pettyfer would be the perfect Jace!! He’s been who I had in mind for Jace the whole time! Molly Quinn or Alexz Johnson would both be good the play Clary and I reckon that Isabel should be played by Megan Fox or Summer Glau. I am also a Twilight fan and I know most ppl tht have posted comments are saying how bad Twilight is and all tht, well I have to confess tht Catherine Hardwock was a CRAP director if only the New Moon director directed Twilight then maybe it would have been better, but to be honest it’s not tht bad!!!

YESSSSSS! Alex Pettyfer = Jace Wayland, all the way. He would be perfect for him. I am so excited for this!

AHHHHH!! i really hopee they makee this book into a movie ive got likee 30pages left of city of glass and will be very sad to have finished reading it.. but also happy i havee.. i also agreee as Alex Pettyfer = Jacee and Lukee should be Brian Krause or Sam trammell i really cant wait too see if it gets madee into a moviee ) xx

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i absolutly LOVE jace. I can’t wait to see if its a movie. I feel like SCREAMING…… I CAN’T WAIT….. ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
its going to be awesome. i hope alex pettyfer plays as jace. I have a feeling the books will be better but i still want to see the movie be made. i’m on city of glass now im so glad i got these books for christmas. ANYONE WHO HASN’T READ THESE BOOKS HAVE TO. THEY ARE WAY BETTER THAN TWILIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

not alex pettyfer..!! they shud audition for the cast and get the perfect people because no already famous would suit any parts..except logan lerman for simon

omg omg i have onlt red the first book and i am i love with jace and the seires .i have a friend who tells me MOST of wat happens soooooooooooo the seires are RADICAL

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Jace is awesome !!!! i spent the day in my pj’s reading the city of glass almost finished yesss

they totally should have the director for the hp3 direct this whoever that was did a great job keeping it like the book

i think they should do open auditions too to get new faces :\

Alec Pettyfer = Jace
Emma Watson = Clary

Regardless of who the actors are – I’m excited for the movies and loved the books.

I AM SO EXCITED! I waited for so long for official news of a movie & finally there is some!
I think Alexz Johnson would be perfect as Clary, but next to Alex Pettyfr, he’d look to young & her too old. Although both wouldbe pretty good at it. Isabelle HAS to be Abbie Cornish, black hair of course though. I haven’t seen anyone who fits the part for Alec or Simon though.
Thankyou guys I am SO glad this is coming out as a movie & it CAN’T be wrecked like Twilight & harry Potter!! Twilights effects are SO FAKE! Like them running and stuff! We’re not 3 year olds watching teletubbies already!

And yeah, i want the books into seperate movies, but i am worried about it being ditched if not enough people are into after the Brother/Sister thing. Its kind of gross, i almost stopped reading, but not quite. I hope that doesn’t wreck it, because its a absolutely AWESOME series! MOVE OVER TWILIGHT!

Love, blood, betrayal and revenge — the stakes are higher than ever in City of Fallen Angels. Simon Lewis is having some trouble adjusting to his new life as a vampire, especially now that he hardly sees his best friend Clary, who is caught up in training to be a Shadowhunter—and spending time with her new boyfriend Jace. Not to mention that Simon doesn’t quite know how to handle the pressure of not-quite-dating two girls at once. What’s a daylight-loving vampire to do? Simon decides he needs a break and heads out of the city—only to discover that sinister events are following him. Realizing that the war they thought they’d won might not yet be over, Simon has to call on his Shadowhunter friends to save the day — if they can put their own splintering relationships on hold long enough to rise to the challenge.

That was for City Of Fallen Angels; sounds great doesn’t it!? We have to wait until 2011 thogh, sucks so bad. -.-

omg ok now i,m on the 2nd book (city of ashes) twilight is gonna get it when the movie comes out witch i hope a movie does come out !!! my bestie just finished city of glass and she was crying then she told me what happens i’m just like noooooooooo but i couldn’t help myself i had to listen !!!oops !!! its the utimate place i’d love to live with alec ,izzy, and jace and be a shadow hunter !!!

matilda i read your comment then went on to google images and typed in “alec from the mortal instruments movie” and there was this picture of this guy that i think might suit him its the 3rd picture in the second row see what you think

I really think that THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS SERIES are way way way better than TWILIGHT and im SOOOOOOOOOO exited to see as a movie!!!! i hope they pick the right actors for the movie!!! TEAM JACE!!!! if you didnt read the book you SHOULD!!!!

OMG!!!! I’m a huge fan of the Mortal Instruments, I’m obssesed w/ it. I soooo love Jace and Clary 2gether!!!!! Love it!!! Soooo xcited. xoxo

yeah. i have found a photo of someone i think is absolutely perfect as alec, but (idon’tknwoanythingaboutactors) dont know who he is.
http://8.media.tumblr.com/SiTWayXnlpm754jv1qjq2Ik1o1_400.jpg
thats the address for the pic

@matilda: i checked out your photo and he looks so familiar but i can’t place him!! he’s almost alec, but not quite.

as for william moseley as jace… he’s too cute. jace is supposed to be more arrogant and i can’t see will’s face delivering the lines that jace does.

and if ANY of the directors from harry potter/twilight (excluding chris columbus who did a fantastic job at the first two harry potters) are even considered for a mortal instruments movie i will have a fit.

Alex Pettyfer = Jace
scout taylor-compton = Clary
Josh hutcherson = simon
Hanna Beth = Isabell http://cutescenegirls.com/wp-content/gallery/hannah-beth/hannah-beth-09.jpg < thats her if you don’t know how she is.
Alec = Adam gregory
Sabastian = Tom sturrige
Luke = gerrard butler
Joceleyn = judith hoag
Valentine = Daniel craig
The inquisitor imogen = michelle peiffer

These are just my opinions.. sorry if you got bored haha.. cannot wait till (possible) make of this film.. I also hope they hold open auditions.. I would lovee to audition for the part of clary.. x

omg i finished city of ashes yesterday and wow can’t wait to gget my hands on city of glass MAKE A MOVIE PLEASE !!!! =)

MAKE A MOVIE and if you do MAKE IT AS AWSOME AS THE BOOKS !!!!

OMG i so hope they dnt mess up this film like they did twilight… its horrible trying to re-read it when i have robbert bloody paterson stuck in my head…he was so not the edward i imagined tbh

anyhoo aslong as they have decent actors to the play the roles im alrite and they must have them as seperate films no one large one because u cnt possibly fit all the series into one

But!!!!!….. Magnus Bane must be played by Bill or Adam Lambert…. GO THE HIGH WARLOCK OF BROOKLYN!!! hes my fave char

also i agree that whoever that person is who people think could be alec is a good choice and i agree

YES! I was soososoo happy when I heard this! I’m really hoping they get a good director who will do the books justice.
Jace = Alex Pettyfer or (if he has to) William Moseley
Clary = Alexz Johnson or Molly Quinn

OMFG I cannot belive this!!>I am only on city of bones and am already addicted!..Can’t wait for the movie to come out!.Hope it works out and Will be first to see it!!,,<3 <3 LOVE IT!!

for simon i think- logan lerman (percy jackson), skandar keynes (edmund,narnia) or luke pasqualino (skins) u should check them out..
and alex pettyfer for jace big NO NO.. and clary needs to look younger bcoz all the ones people have listed here look too vicious and old for her.. i could be clary except for the fact that im asian with brown eyes and black hair..but i could always stick some paint on my body, dye me hair and get contacts and bag myself a simon and jace..simples! :p

the director of new moon or lord of the rings should do the films because they’d stick to the books more.. harry potter films are crraaapp they ruined them! they went off on their own little storyline.. on cassandra clares blog i think she wrote that the lord of the rings guys might be directing or producing or whatever -ing the films!! cannot wait for it honestly.. its going to kick twilights sparkly ass

oooomg this is so awesome ! i love the book. ive read it all in two days cause i just couldnt stop. i wanna see it ! <3

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAKE A MOVIE… your books is really good

OMGGGG PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAKE A MOVIE… BUT PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAKE IT A GOOD ONE!!!!!!!!!!! I finished City of Glass ages ago, I’m seriously going to read them again!!!!

I love these books so much!
I haven’t finished City of Glass yet though
Get a good director too! Not someone who’ll totally change the film and ignore the book!
I love Jace Wayland (L)

Oh my goodness, ! I love these books so much! I cannot wait for the movie!

isabell needs to be hot and i just finished city of glass at first i expected clary to be ugly

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

this is so OMG moment thanx so much 4 making this a movie well i hope u make it 1.

ooooooh, Alex Pettyfer should be Jace, when I read the books I imagined Jace looking exactly the same as Alex.
And Molly Quinn CAN NOT BE CLARY she sucks, and I do not want to offend her fans but she is not as clary

when is there going to be any new info about this movie. I’m dying over here lol.

If Molly what’s her face is playing clary I will scream!!! Alexz johnson is soooo much better to play clary! Alex pettyfer is hot enough to play Jace. Love the books!

D: !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so freaking hyper and excited lol!!!
If Miley Cyrus ever gonna be Clary
I swear I would end my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And the guy Alex Pettyfer is pretty cute…
But I still don’t want him to be Jace. >.<
But anywayz, please for realz, I don’t want
this movie ended up like Twilight even
though I am a fan of the movie Twilight…. ^-^

I def agree with bells… I don’t think any popular actor quite fits the characteristics of a lot of the characters from M.I. I think they’re going to have to dig deep to find the right people, like they did with Harry Potter (who were basically unknown actors). Alex Pettyfer is very good looking, but Jace has a certain edgyness/cockiness and underlying vulnerability to him that Alex doesn’t have, Alex is too pretty in a sense lol

does anyone know where is going to be the casting?

OMG! I just finished City of Glass not even 5 minutes ago (i borrowed City of Bones from a friend so i would have something to read on a long car ride) and i never expected to love it sooooo much! im soo aggrivated that i finished the series becuase now i want more! Please make it a movie Cassandra your work is B-E-A-UTIFUL! ^.^ And please people keep updating to when the movie will be out! im dying to see it! xD as for casting goes… just please dont screw up Jace<3 … I was soo excited to see Twilight til i saw the previews and was like “The the heck is that ugly thing thats claiming to be edward?!?!?!?!” (no offense to anyone that likes him.. but i do like taylor lautner<3sexy<3 haha

yeah i agree lol!!!! I am so excited i would love to dee these movies come to life and i honestly believe that it can happen! But we must have a good director and great actors !! and clary better not be ugly!!

if adam freaking lambert gets casted as the amazing magnus i will personally hunt his butt down. hes such a creeper he doesnt deserve to be in a movie based off of cassandra clair!!!!!!!!!!

Besides I get that part anyway!!!!

O.O! NO WAY!!!!!!!!!! IM SSOOO EXITED!!!!!!!!!!! I think Jace should be played by Alex Pettyfer, but does ANYONE care about Alec?? NO!! I TOTALLY think he should be played by Nicholas Hoult….YUMMY ^-^

r they really going to make a movie eek!!!!!!! cant wait but …. when is it going to come out though i cant wait ay longer T_T

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGG plzzz hurry up making this movie I have to watch it with my bestie, but im moving, and WE HAVE TO WATCH IT TOGETHER, we are the bestest frinds and the #1 fans, loveee you jace (you little hotty!) ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH sigh. . . . . love you peeps!!!!!

YES!!I loved city of bones!I still have to read the last two tho!I hear shia la bouef is supposed to play simon.I really hope not.

I LOVED the mortal instruments and i sooooooooooooo hope it becomes a movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

This is one of my fave books of all time and sooo DESERVES to be a movie. Cassandra Clare is an amazing author and deserves to be honored with the opportunity of making them a movie!!!!!!!! So PLEEEEEEEEEEZ make it a movie-ASAP!!!!!!!

OMG! its the only series ive ever read! (im not a reader) my friend kim and i would KILL to see this movie! im sooooooooooooooo excited! and a 4th book?! wow! cant belive its gona b a movie!! it very much would deserve to be!!! ive read every book 3 times!!!

OMG!!! I love the mortal instruments!!!!! I hope she does make a 4th book!!!! I am almost done with the second!!!!! Lexi<3 Jace!!!!

I so cant wait for it to become a movie. The books are beyond amazing. I love the books. They better pick the right actors to actually play the characters. I hope that it turns out to be a great movie. If the movie is as good as the book then everybody should love it. I’m so excited for them to become movies. Let’s just all hope they do become movies.

I LOVE these books, like im so addicted its horrible, i just finished the second book, can’t wait to get the 3rd ! and im stoked for the movie, but then everyones gonna go into a friggan craze and be like twilight all over again, and it’ll be really annoying..

And i would SO Be down for playing Clary, ehehe i’m just as stubborn, and strong-headed. but at the same time spontaneous and loving. and im going to be a red head soon!
Just message me if you need me, i’m available
Cassandra!

Alex Pettyfer is the peeerrfect Jace.
& f Miley cyrus is in the film at ALL, I’ll cry
& I will be so depressed if i see her in it.
Idk whod be a good Clary but Meghan Fox would make a reeally good Isabelle.
OMG, I REALLY hope these books become a movie!!!

i am amazed by the books!!!!! i can’t wait to read the fourth one they ARE TOTALLY AMAZING!!!! i say that william moseley should be Jace!!!

Clary is meant to be small and delicate with red hair (not auburn) and freckles. Ergo not Alexz Johnson. Molly Quinn would be best.
And for Alex, I think Moseley’s face is too soft. Pettyfer has the sharper features Jace is meant to have.

OMG deffinitly for Jace- alex pettyfer(messed up hair!) SO HOT!!!!
and for clary- Emma Roberts(i think)because she looks small and delicate and they go together soo well. OMFG cassandra clare you are a genious!
i can see it now TWILIGHT VS THE CITY OF BONES!!
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH OMG i bet the mortal instruments series will be WAY more popular when it comes out as a movie…….
(sigh!) just dreaming to myself! haha well cya i hope you all agree love ya jace xxxoxo

These books are legendary!! But I really think for this movie to work there needs to be completely new actors or little heard of ones because I don’t want them compared to anything!! I would love to be an actor and I have red hair (naturally) im 14 but tallish so I think id be perfect to play clary!!! I feel that I really relate to her!!

woah, i have just.. so many ideas for this film.
i agree with @loveit! it would be great to have new actors in the film, give the chance for this film to REALLY be the fans own as much as i do love some of the people have listed.
although, i have to say… would a film be the best way forward? with the twilight books, i was HOOKED. the films have dissapointed me though, no film can live up to a book, i’m sorry, but it’s true. in a way, imagination is the best way forward.
also, wouldn’t introducing a film add more fans? more screaming fan girls? more fights between twilight fans, potter fans and our own mortal instruments fans?
just a thought!

I agree with @Holleh, the Twilight films were kind of a disaster. I’m a little worried about the Mortal Instruments turning out that way. But I think what has me a little more confident about the Mortal Instrument movies is that they have the same producers (or something like that) from the Lord of the Rings working on them. I don’t know about you, but I thought those films were amazing with great special effects! And why does there have to be a rivalry between Twilight, HP, and TMI? They’re all GREAT books, and can’t we all just get along!?

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH pooch: we agree the twilight films SUCKED but the books were soooooooooo awsome we arnt big nfans of twilight but i no 4 a fact that robert paterson & the speical effects ruiend the movie. Lala: OMFG i am gobsmacked at how cool this will be! ITS GONNA BE AWESOME!!! but im still praying that they DON’T stuff it up, cause the books are soo cool!!!!!!! pooch aggrees!!!!!!
Lala: love ya jace xxx

OHMIGOD!!!! I AM SO EXCITED THIS IS THE BEST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED! I already knew about the book I have already written it down in my calender, Im so excited even though its a year away! I CANT BELIEVE THERES GONNA BE A MOVIE!!!!! THESE BOOKS ARE GENIUS DONT LET ANY ONE TELL U OTHERWISE!!!! :):):):):)

omg …ITS GONNA BE SOOO WIKID alex whats his name shhould soooo be jace !!!!!!!!!! love the books love cassandra love EVERYTHING ABOUT IT !!!!!!!!!! POOCH XXX haha :):D

I also hope they do good with the movie I love these books just like I love the twilight books but the movies were bad. If they get the one who did Percy Jackson and Harry Potter 2/3 I think it will turn out great. I saw alex pettyfer for the 1st time yesterday and right way I thought of Jace let’s hope.

awww i wanna be in it!
i would so watch that.

PLEASE no Alex whatever he’s called. No offence to all his fans n stuff, but he kinda sucks. I think new actors would be best, some that are good at what they do but totally unknown.

Jade is right… accept on the alex pettifyer part. I beleave a new and unknown actress would be best. They should have open casting calls!

Also, I DO NOT like Molly Quinn! Her look, to me, is all wrong. I cannot see her as Clary. DON’T CAST HER!

How about the chic from Secret Life -Shailene Woodley as Clary

i really really hope they make this into a movie!!!

ok, getting the right actors for this movie is imperative!! i know a lot of u would like alex what’s his name to plaf jace, but let me tell u right now that he is not the right guy. He looks way to young and he’s not buff enough. i think the perfect guy for the job would be haden christenson look him up, he’s hot! lol
anyway, we also need a good actress to play Clary. Emma Stone i think, looks the part and if not her maybs bryce howard…but still, i have a good feeling about emma stone. i really hope this movie doesn’t turn out like twilight :/ cuz that movie waz a bunch of B.S.!! haha Don’t let me down Cassandra!!

DO NOT CAST ALEX!!! HE’S THE WRONG GUY! HE’S NOT EVEN HOT!! plus, he looks way too much like a little kid. Clary needs a strong tough guy who is rarely touched by emotion…A.K.A Hayden Christensen! also, as for clary, she has to be small and delicate..and maybe a little flat-chested lol

Does anyone else think that Comatose by Skillet would be a perfect song for the movie? or even Hero by them… If you haven’t heard them, you should definitely listen.. they are perfect!

Molly’s actually TALL… she goes to my martial arts studio and dance studio, and TOWERS over me, and I’m 5′3″… xD She’s around 5′7″ or 5′8″. But she IS a great actress, and she’d be amazing as Clary. I love my Molly<3

Oh, and if any of y’all don’t believe I know her, I have pics to prove it. Just sayin… lol

@giggles25 Hayden christensen is so not the right guy, and he’s way too old. I’m so fed up of seeing late twenty/thirty something guys playing teenagers.

Now I don’t know what photos of Alex you’ve been looking at, but he certainly doesn’t look like a little kid. If you’re seeing photos from his Stormbreaker days then, sure, he did then — but that was four years ago! Look for photos of him on the set of Beastly if you want to see what he looks like now, definitely not a little kid.

Lauren, i have seen other pics of him. i just don’t think he’s the right guy; and u may be right about Hayden but who else, if not him, would be a good jace. We can’t just search for looks here, he aslo has to be a good actor. That’s kind of important..

i have a couple people here listed that could possibly play Clary. Tell me what you think of them.

Emma Stone
Emma Roberts*
Molly Quinn
Racheal Hurd-Wood*
Bryce Howard

I stared the ones i thought might be really good hehe

Does anyone think that a young Stuart Townsend would be a perfect Jace? <3

stuart is pretty cute but he’s too old now :/

perect cast!

Jace=Hayden Christensen, Jeremy Sumpter, or Alex Pettyfe?

Clary=Emma Roberts or Molly Quinn

Simon=Kistopher Turner

Isabelle=Megan Fox

Alec= Adam Gregory

Magnus bane=Adam Lambert

Jocyllen=Bryce Howard

Luke=Gerard Butler

Fariy Queen=Rachel Hurd-Wood
http://i.thisislondon.co.uk/i/pix/2009/08/rachel-hw-cover-415×564.jpg

Sebastian-Tom Sturridge
Alec-Nicholas Hoult
Simon-Kristopher Turner

Magnus Bane-Bill Kaulitz
Raphael-Steven Strait

Jocelyn-Julianne Moore

OMG!!! Alex Pettyfer=Jace!!! <3 that would be SOOO amazing!!! anyone who says otherwise should look up his picture and see Jace immediately!!!

I would have to say that Daniel Craig is the best James Bond of all times..;`

I would have to say that Daniel Craig is the best James Bond of all times.“`

I AGREE WITH MOST OF YOU PEOPLE!! ALEX ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!

OHMIGOD! Fave series- can’t wait for the 4th book (City of Fallen Angels) And the new series! (The infernal Devices) Check out this link for moore deets- http://promo.simonandschuster.com/mortalinstruments/

Okay, if the same company with LotR does it, than this movie is going to be amazing. If not, ah hell. I think most of you guys are spazing a little too much over Jace. . . ^_^
Like someone said before, the actors and actresses need to be new, somebody no one can identify. And for God’s sake, no Adam Lambert!

If I had to chose between ALEX PETTYFER and WILLIAM MOSELEY…I’d chose WILLIAM MOSELEY…though Bradley James could be a good choice too…OMG I could see Kevin McHale as Simon….

Okay. I *know* Giggles25 has read my mind!!! Adam Lambert is PERFECT for Magnus Bane!

Ohkay i have alot of stuff to say but this pretty much sums it up . . . .

Pure Genious
Im sure you all agree, then there is nothing else to it!

ok a few comments up people said something about james bond i think you have the wrong website!!!!!!!! anyways omg can’t believe that there is a better seiries in THE WORLD than the mortal instuments could jace sound any more hotter?! i agree with lalal PURE GENIOUS !! (can’t spell genious!!!heehee)

OMG!!!! I am sooo excited about this! I agree this series was much better than Twilight! And for Jace??? DUH OF COARSE IT SHOULD BE ALEX PETTYFER, BECAUSE HE IS HAWTT AND SO IS JACE, WHICH IS PERFECT!!!

heehee jess! we are sooo obseesed we need to get a life!! lol nah i could NEVER forget about this series i recon i will still be reading these books when im like 30! i really dont care who they pick for jace (as long as he is still smokin) and he fits the roll then ill be good!

same her(laaala!!!)i love this series mt favorite series of all my favorite lines is……………………..clary:is this the part where you rip your clothesn up to bind my wound………………..jace:if you wanted me to rip my clothes off you could’ve just asked………………..lol…….i love it….cant wait for next book and the movie!

haahaaa my favourite part it where jace wants clary to nurse her back to health and give him a bath, dressed in a nurse outfit! I hate to mention this but (yes, i no its only a story) but im kinda jealous of clary and i wish sooo badly that this was a true story but i was apart of it. thats my opion anyway! lol cyaaa xxx

omg lala ure such a nut !!!! yep love the books ily

hahaha i recon bt u’ll have to deal with it beacause im ur bestie! lol ily

OMG! Just finished series up to number 3! Can’t wait till City of Fallen Angels…My cast for the movies are deff:

Clary: Molly Quinn
Jace: Alex Pettyfer or William Moseley
Jocelyn: Bryce Dallas
Alec: Nicholas Hoult
Sebastian: Toby Hemingway
Imogen: Tilda Swinton
Aline: Katie Leung
Luke: ?
Isabelle:?
Simon: ? (this one is killing me…)
Maia: Jessica Szhor
Valentine: Daniel Craig
Maryse: Demi Moore

Thats all folks! xD <33

Lolz, Amber.

Where’d you get THOSE ideas?

I agree with all of them (Lolz, well yeah.) and I know we can find Simon. Just know it.

Please note that for Jocelyn her full name is Bryce Dallas Howard.

That’s all,
~ Alice.

OMG! I love the books and as a movie….. I cant wait!

Okay first off Cathrine Hardwick will not be directing them(from what I think and heard) she is directing my OTHER favorite book series Maximum Ride which are being turned into moves. So she’ll fuck up one of my favorites of course. and Yes alex Pettyfer as Jace/ Emma as Clary/ Kaya Scodelario as Isabelle/ Nick Hoult as Alec/ Chad Michael Murray(I have no clue why but when he has a buzz cut i see him as) Valentine… XD hey look me up on youtube. I vid TMI i’m leytonluv03

heehee i no thats y i love you lala !!!!!!!!! anyway the books love them !!!!!!!!!!

heheeee i no! Yes the books are excellent (omg i sound posh!) okay! how bout this? OMG i love the books cause they rock the world round! lol

heeheee hey kayla !!!!!!!!!!!! hahaha yesa the books are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO goood !!! drool !!

hahaaaa i no! . . . double drool! heheee

So, I agree with Molly Quinn for Clary. But I see Maryse more like Bebe Neuwirth than Demi Moore…. And Chad Michael Murry is too young for Valentine. William Mosley or Alex Pettyfer are both decent choices for Jace, and yet not quite there yet…. and I do not see Alec in Nicholas Hoult in any way, shape or form. I just don’t really have an alternative suggestion at this time. Bryce Dallas Howard as Jocelyn is good. Chris Massoglia as a possible Simon… but there’s another boy I can’t recall his name, unfortunately…. I’d love to see Bradley James in here somewhere too… Tilda Swinton would be perfect as Imogen That’s who I actually visualized as I read the books. And of course, Adam Lambert as Magnus Bane!!

DREAM CAST
Clary – molly c quinn
Jace – Alex Pettyfer
Simon – Logan Lerman/Scott Mechlowicz/jake thomas
Alec – Travis Michael Garland/Gaspard Ulliel
Isabelle – Mary Elizabeth Winstead/Odette Yustman
Maia – jessica Szohr
Luke – Alex O’Loughlin/Dimitro Lekkos
Jocelyn – Brea bee/Darby Stanchfield
Valentine – Sean Bean/ Daniel Craig
Magnus – Daniel Henney

My cast?
Clary: Alexz Johnson, Zena Gray, Emma Roberts, Emma Watson, Stacey Farber, Molly Quinn, and a musician, whose name I can not remember.

Jace: Alex Pettyfer.

Simon: Kristopher Turner, Logan Lerman. (; (Kris is my better pick, but I definitely LOVE me some Logan Lerman. (;)

Isabelle: Odette Yustman, Megan Fox.

Alec: Nicholas Hoult, Garrett Hedlund Eragon days. Am I the only one on here who liked that movie?

Maia: Jessica Szohr

Luke: Matthew Perry, Gerard Butler, Scott Cohen, and the guy that plays Sam on True Blood. I love him.

Jocelyn: Melinda Clark, especially if Alexz Johnson plays.

Valentine: Paul Bettany. I love him. Sofreakingmuch. (:

Magnus? Magnus needs to be an unknown. If they can’t find an unknown, definitely Bill Kaulitz. Or Oliver James. SO HOT. (:

Hodge: Not sure.

Maryse: Carla Gugino,

Robert: David Boreanaz

Max: Unknown. Maybe the kid from Knowing or the son from 2012.

Raphael: Avian Jorgia or whatever his name is.

Inquisitor: In my head, I had Lisa Kudrow. But Imogen is supposed to be older than that.

Sebastian/Johnathen: Mitch Hewer. (; I know a lot of people say Jace for him, which would be good, but all I see is Johnathen. Johnathen is supposed to have dyed black hair, and light blond natural hair. They could make him wear a wig or something, and then the blond comes back later on. (:

Stephen Herondale: Not even sure. But someone attractive. Probably Paul Walker. (:

Amatis: Courtney Cox.

Celine: I’m not even sure. Someone like Brittany Snow.

I keep thinking I’m forgetting someone….hmm. Oh well. It’ll be fine. (:

Check out Hayden Christensen in teh movie Jumper. He was amazing and should be Jace. Alex Pettyfer, no offense is doing beastly. If he did Mortal Instuments as well, it might kinda kill a lot of mature film options towards him.

when are there going to be auditions?
does anybody know?

i LOVEEE LOVE LOVE this book series! i was in love with twilight, until the movies came out and were definitely not as good as the books. but as soon as I read the city of bones , twilight was doneeee for me. haha, jace has to be amazing looking! not like robert for edward. and I like Alex pettyfer but hes not beautiful.. and all the actors for the upcoming movie, need to be around their early teens. like 16 & 17ish, not the old people who are like 20 now. i want to audition for the part of Clary though, so does anyone know when there will be more details?! thanks =)

Definately Agree on some of the cast.. That would be amazing expecially Jace and Clary.. (o:
Clary: Molly Quinn
Jace: Alex Pettyfer
Jocelyn: Bryce Dallas
Alec: Nicholas Hoult
Sebastian: Toby Hemingway
Imogen: Tilda Swinton
Aline: Katie Leung
Magnus bane=Adam Lambert
I hope they cast them so close to what you would think they would visualize.. (o: Im certain cassandra has a image of each within her mind.. (o:

i dont care what they do with the movie as long as they dont change it too much and they cast Alex Pettyfer as Jace Wayland, cause Alex is the only JACE then it cannot fail!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is how it should be. correction: HAS to be
jace: alex pettyfer
alec: alex evans
magnus:adam lambert
clary:lilly cole
isabelle:megan fox
simon:logan lerman
dont screw up people.

i love David Boreanaz in the TV Series bones, he is really a great actor.-,`

Me either!! i really hope alexz johnson is clary!! love anyone who agrees i do not hate ppl that dont. also alex prettifer as jace he looks great in beastly!!

holy crap jace sounds soo smexii! dont u agree! im reading the WHOLE series (sigh) again!!! im up to “the city of glass” yay yay yay! cassandra clare ily u genious love all ya mortal instruments lovers you guys rock as much as me!!! twilight is soo gonna suck when this movie comes out! and fingers crossed its the best movie ever made! if sooo im gonna be 1 of those funny funs that cry over everything (probably not but u never know) ill be the fan loving these books/movies/jace FOREVER and nobody could eva make me forget the series. . . because they rock and every1 who have eva read it will know that this book will rock the world…. we r the lucky fans that love the book not the movie, no matter how bad they stuff up the movie we have our beautiful imaginations to fix it back up, and make these books what ever we want them too be! i wish i could tell you all how much these books mean to me but i cant put it into words, i will always treasure these books and they will ALWAYS have a place on my bookshelf! plz agree with me, i cant get my feelings into words, all i can do is keep writing but i have to go, try understand, if u think im some crazy fan, because these books have been some of my very best friends, and i have been through soo much im the past year and they have always been with me.

i can almost guarantee you, these books will be destroyed because of the movie. i loved the twilight books, well written, good plots. the movies destroyed everything everyone is so obsessive over it and the movies were completely changed compared to the books. i admit i liked these books better than twilight and i would hate to see what has happened to that happen to the mortal instruments. we all know they are going to put these well known actors in the movies so they can get publicity, they need fresh new faces who can portray these parts as magnificently as they were written.

I really want this to be turned into a movie, but if it turns out like Twilight did I’m going to be upset. In Twilight they left out vital parts from the books in the movies, and the camera work was awful.

ok i loved the books of twilight and i do admit i do watch the movies to but i hope the mortal instruments dont turn out like it only becaus ei dont like the feeling of twilight you can tell the films were meant to be indie films no one though it would be so big i hope the mortal instruments has a more newer age feel to it…. here is who i think the cast should be played as

jace-alex pettyfer
clary- molly quinn or the chick from secret life could work to…sorry all you alex lovers but i just imagine clary as fragile and i dont see alex fitting that
alec lightwood-gaspard ulliel
izzy-i think should really be played by a nobody because there is no one in the biz that i think can pull that character off
simon- he was tricky but i think logan lerman would be a good pic
Sebastian Verlac-to tell yout the truth i got nothing help?!?!?!?!
ralf-ben barnes
mia-idk wow i am bad at this haha well there are my picks for the actors

some of u guys are sooo negative about the movie . . .THINK POSITIVE!!! u have no idea that the movie will suck it could be the turn of the century! Lol just stop thinking the movie will suck because it might not . . STOP THINKING NEGATIVE!!! plus i wasnt a big fan of twlight but i think the movies turned out okay . . at least a good majority might like it even if they have read the book . . . . cya xx

omg. i cant wait.! im inlove with these books.
they better have a good director and good actors. they better not ruin this like they ruined twilight. i loved it, untill i saw the movie.
anyway.
OMG! cant wait. im soooo excited!

I totally agree that Bill Kaulitz from Tokio Hotel Would be an awesome Magnus and if they do the third book as a movie with the whole kiss thing… Then suck it up. As Isabelle would say: “It’s just a kiss.”

Gaspard Ulliel looks perfect for Alec. Ihope they don’t ruin it like Twilight. (Curse the screaming fans who think those are good! >:( Lol jk! But seriously the Twilight movies are bad.)

Omg, please, please, please don’t let Hollywood jack up another good series! Twilight deserved better than what it got – which, btw, was cheesy acting and a bunch of cut out scenes from the book – and I think I’ll cry if that happens to the Mortal Instruments series. Or I’ll protest and demand a remake. lol jk. But I do hope the MI movies are better than the Twilight ones.

omg, storm i so agree with u !!!hahahaha.

<333 OMG They have GOT to make the movie!!!<333
<333 also, I found a picture of a guy who <333
<333 would be PERFECT for Alec, too bad hes<333
<333 just a random emo boy ( alexz johnson<333
<333 for Clary, all the way! Damn she's HOT!<333
<333 anyways: here's link for Alex (minus the<333
<333 rings)<333

O.M.G! I’m so excited it’s going to be a movie and a fourth book is coming out!!! I hope they pick someone totally HOTT to be Jace! Jace has to be perfect!!!

I think most of yall are so wrong….Jackson Rathbone should sooo play Jace he is soo cute lol or Leonardo DiCaprio and Johnny Depp should soo be Magnus Bane he would be soo perfect hes cute and plays weird parts in almost all of his movies. My friend sooooooo agrees with me they are like totally HOTT.!.

or Draco Malfoy can play Jonathan Morgenstern and Dracos dad can be Valentine PERFECT!!!

i so say that tyson houseman should be simon and nicholas braun(idk if i spelled it right)or cameron bright should be alec and i already mentioned some others and max lightwood should be played by Zachary Gordon or Allen Alvardo
valentine should be played by draco malfoys dad and isabelle should be megan fox or selena gomez and luke should be played by james marsden or (bellas dad off twilight) maia idk but raphael

ALEX PEETYFER OR WATEVA HIS NAME IS, SHUD NOT PLAY JACE!!!
R YUU ALL MAD!!!!
JACE IS WAYY BETTER THN HIM, THT WUD B LYK EDWARD FRM TWILIGHT WHO’S BEING PLAYD BY RPATZ ND HE IS DISGUSTING!!

Okayy i takee tht back i jus saw Alex Pettyfer in one of the book trailers nd he did look perfect 4 it!!

Okayy noe he ain’t,
He has the body bt the face aint ritee

OMG
I DNT NOE
I WATCHD ANOVA VIDEO ND HE LOOKD PERFECT AGEN!!!
HMM
if he does play jace they hav 2 makee him look goood

(jess its meee !) imma on dads laptop. .
okay to start offff i deffintiley think some1 new has to be jace . .u no some 1 who has neva eva been heard of . .they need to have auditions or something . . coz i know there is some preeety hot guys in my grade who would deffintley make the best jace . . but if they have to have some1 every1 loves then alex whatshisname. ARE YOU CRAZY !!!! the guy who plays jasper in twilight should not be jace . . (im really sorry if your taking this offensive) but i looked him up on google and he just isnt the best 4 it . .. i no i might seem like a control freak but i just dont want my favouritest book in the universe being turned into a stupid movie .. . .. omg maybe the dude who played peter pan (fav movie (sometimes ) could play him although he is probably too old or too young or something . . .

where do you guys live ???? i live in qld and i wonder how far the book has travelled . .. it wud b AWESOME its ALL mortal instruments fans could meet up and fanticize haahaahaaa ( omg i hope im not the only one hahaaa ) okay who else fanticizes about the books/ jace/ movie/ clary ?? . . . . . . . sigh haahaaah

David Boreanaz and that girl from Bones would really make a great a couple.*;;

rnt we all in love with these books and espeacially jace !!!! i feel lyk there is sooo much more that we can do to help other then bragging on how much we love the books and how much cassandra clare rocks and how hot jace is . . .i feel so ummmmmm idk what i feel lyk . . .AHHHH i just feel like i could be doing more then this . . . its driving meeeeeee insaneeeee

Really? that’s good… I’ve read the books and it’s beautiful.. I hope Clare will make a good choice in choosing a director and cast of characters. I hope they’ll be able to make a splendid movie just like in the Harry Potter series. Please make that movie a good one, because the story really amazed me, I won’t hope a well written novel will end up in a disgusting movie.. I’m so excited…

wow . . . .i totally agreeeeee with jan roxanne haahaha ur soo calm about this, every1 including me r all screaming for this movie and u seem soo cool calm & collected (omg my english teacher says that !?!?!?) hahaaaa well done in not going crazyy !!! haahaaa

I absolutely LOVE the Mortal Instruments series but after seeing how little justice movies like Harry Potter and Twilight have done to the books I’m not so sure about the movie…please Cassandra don’t make the same mistake!

OMG!!!!!!!!!The Mortal Instruments is my favourite series ever!!! It is so epic at the end with Angel Raziel, it made me cry! But as a few people have said already, do NOT let this amazing series look bad by choosing a **** director. I always thought it would make a fantastic movie but only in the hands of a very good director like Steven Spielberg or David Yates, i reckon they could make a good movie out of this series. One time i went to Canberra in Australia and bought a book called the Hunger Games which became my favourite books. they were my favourite and then went on to buy the next two, but then i went back to the same shop maybe half a year later and bought city of bones and absolutely loved it, and bought the next two, it beat the Hunger Games by far!!! It was truly amazing. If it becomes a bad movie, i will be wrecked, absolutely wrecked.!

i would be SOOOOOOOO suprised to hear of some1 who read this book / series and hated it !!! every single person who comments on the series : I TOTALLY AGREEE WITH YOU ?!?!?!?!?! haahaa i get an e-mail everytime someone makes a comment and i love ittt !!!

omg!!! is it really turning into a movie ive been waiting for this news like 4 eva yaayayayayayyayayayayay i cant wait to see it

Jace should be hot.

Ooooooh, I’m so exited! Magnus Bane should be played by a Eurasian guy though, like in the books:)

YES Alex Pettyfer is SO DAMN HOT he would be PRFECT for Jace, I want it to be like so DAMN detailed! No Eragon stuff that skips all the good parts, something long like Lord of the Rings! Make this movie EXPENSIVE!! D:

i want chase Crawford as jace…

we magnus to be portrayed by johnny depp.. Elizabeth Reaser should portray clary’s mom megan fox for Isabelle Lightwood..

i borrowed the books off a frend and i COULD NOT put them down!!! i loved them.
molly quinn or emma roberts for clary i reckon and kellan lutz for jace (PLEASE!!) if alex pettyfer plays him i will be soo upset i mean i like him and all but i dont think he fits the “description” of jace.
magnus should soo be played by adam lambert,,, who ever came up with that is a genius,, he was the 1st person i thort of once the book described how magnus looked
anyways…. OMG YAY i cant wait til this is a movie,, and please make it great, not like twilight – i mean that was good but c’mon make this better!!!
anyways i cant wait:) should be the best ever!!!!

So excited I’ve read these books like a bagillion times! God! Please do not use Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. Their correars are headed downhill from here. Love you all!

Yes me too I think that Alex Pettyfer his the only Jace Wayland!:) And for your information they will have a 5th and 6th book!! But I don’t know if it’s Clary or Simon who will tell the story… ANd I fell in love with the gorgeous Jace Wayland! I’m so happy they’re making a movie about the mortal instruments xD

Adam Lambert should have been the winner of American Idol, such a great talent “

I am reading the whole series again for the 4th time !!! haahaaaa im agreeing with … miley !! i have gone head over heels for jace ! lol it happens everytime i read these books ! lol cant wait for the nxt book to come out !! in about 20 days or something ! EEEEEEE haahaaa CANT FREAKIN WAIT !!!! but im the tiniest bit sad that its not clary’s story but its still okayy with simon’s …… SCREEEEEAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMM, seriously i get to maths or some boring subject at school and daydream ! haahaaaa i sit there like sigh ! this is one of the reasons im doin not so good in maths AHHHHH HAAAAHAA okkkaayayyy love you alllll soooo muuuchhhh !

i justtt nowwww found out about them making this into a movie!!! ahhh ha yay!

heres my choice of who should play them

clary – molly quinn
jace – TAYLOR HANDLY. not this alex guy nooo ew
simon – jack carpenter
isabell – hilary duff
alec – Max Thieriot
magnus – adam lambert
hodge – leam neeson
joclynn – Marguerite Moreau
luke – (pending)
valentine – Richard Roxburgh

if alex pettyfer is cast as Jace it’s guaranteed to be one of the worst book adaptions because he’s the worst possible actor that could be chosen.

yesss thank you! NO alex pettyfer. i think the guy TAYLOR HANDLY would fit jace. look him up you’ll see!

Omigosh!! I love the series!! I read it twice. Ever scince I found out there was going to be a movie I keep oking for possible actor sand yes Alex Pettyfer would be perfect for Jace. But when I look at everybodys commets there is never a good Alec. Just because he has dark hair, blue eyes and he’s gay does not mean he’s EMO. So I found the perfect guy. Aaron Johnson from “Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging”. Look him up he’s pefect.<3 and Juno Temple MIGHT be a nice Clary if she dyes her hair but it's a big might.

I also think they should make the movie like 3 hours long like Avatar or the Lord of the Rings. Who cares if it’s long they should fit every little detail so that no fan is dissapointed. COME ON RICH PEOPLE MKE ME A GOOD FRIGGIN’ MOVIE THAT I ACCTUALLY WANT TO WATCH AND THAT IS GOOD ENOUGH TO BUY AND WATCH REPIDETLY. AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGIAN… THANK YOU (:

Hannah Beth as Isabelle and Jean-Luc Bilodeau as Simon thes are big maybes but there options!

andee you should look up taylor handly. i honestly think he would be better for jace than alex

haden pennteair i thinks thats how you say her name would be perfect for clary just a little red hair dye and bang

i dont care who the actors are as long as alex is jace!

Gosh, I’m so excited! I haven’t finished City of Glass yet because I didn’t want the series to end….then I find out Cassandra Clare is writing 3 more books, Yay!!! (except waiting) Here’s a little bit of my cast ideas…just an idea:
Clary: Holland Roden or Alexis Bledel (maybe a bit old, but she might be able to pull it off) or even Stacey Farber?
Jace: Alex Pettyfer (gorgeous, just like Jace <3)
Clary's Mom: Debra Messing
Simon: maybe Aaron Johnson?
Luke: Eric Bana
Alec: Gaspard Ulliel
Isabella: Odetta Yustman
Those are just who I pictured, but I'm so excited, I can't wait for the new books or the movie

I agree that Alex would make a good Jace, however if Travis Van Winkle was a little younger he would be perfect. I think Molly Quinn
would be a good Clary. I think Munro Chambers would make a good Simon.

Also following a degrassi trend Jordan Todosey with longer hair would make a good Clary

JORDAN TODOSEY. ur kidding right the girl’s like ten.

This is the best series EVER!!! After reading them i got all my friends 2 read them and they LOVED them. Harry Potter and the Twilight saga was totally ruined when they made the books into movies. PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ DONT LET ME DOWN BY LETTING THIS SERIE B A FLOP!!!!!!!!
THANKX:p

Jordan Todosey is 15 bro..

Wow scullen ….. did you make that youtube video coz if you did i loved it !!! (it got e-mailed to me ) if u didnt make it well done for finding it and sharing it with us except the mangus bane one looks more like a girl then a man …. but it doesnt matter ……

I’d posted earlier those whom I thought would be well cast for specific roles – but the part of Simon gave me pause… Now I remember who it was I always pictured when reading! It was Dan Byrd. You might remember him as Hillary Duff’s bff in Cinderella Story.
