‘Karate Kid’ Director Jumps Into ‘Mortal Instruments’
Director Harald Zwart (Karate Kid) has boarded Mortal Instruments, the adaptation of Cassandra Clare’s YA fantasy novel being made by Constantin Film and Unique Pictures, reports THR.
The move puts the adaptation back into focus after it lost Screen Gems as its partner and after director Scott Stewart (Priest) left to work a TV series based on his film Legion.
“Lily Collins remains attached to star as young woman who discovers she is the descendant of a line of secret cadre of half-angel warriors locked in an ancient battle to protect the world from demons.”
Jessica Postigo and I. Marlene King wrote the script.
Constantin has set August 15 as the start of principal photography in Toronto.

‘Clayface’ Official Trailer – DC’s Body Horror Movie Gives Rise to Gotham’s Shape-Shifting Monster
Warner Bros. and DC have released the brand new official trailer for Clayface, which will bring a whole lot of body horror mayhem into the DC Universe this coming Halloween season.
Watch the official Clayface trailer below and see the film in theaters October 23.
Tom Rhys Harries stars in the title role of the cult favorite villain from Gotham’s rogues gallery.
Described as DC Studios’ first-ever foray into the genre, Clayface unravels one man’s horrifying descent from rising Hollywood star to revenge-filled monster in a story that explores the loss of one’s identity and humanity, corrosive love, and the dark underbelly of scientific ambition.
Here’s the new official synopsis: “Matt Hagen’s meteoric rise from Gotham street kid to Hollywood leading man is tragically cut short when a local crime boss’s actions leave him horribly disfigured. Abandoned by his team and with nothing left, Matt seeks out a cutting edge treatment that miraculously returns him to his former self… but also unexpectedly affects his grip on reality, spiraling him down a destructive path of all-consuming revenge.”
James Watkins (The Woman in Black, Speak No Evil) directs from a script by Mike Flanagan (“The Haunting of Hill House,” Doctor Sleep) and Hossein Amini (Drive).
James Gunn’s DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran previously called Clayface “an incredible body horror film that reveals a compelling origin of a classic Batman villain.”
The upcoming Clayface horror movie from DC also stars Naomi Ackie, David Dencik, Max Minghella and Eddie Marsan, as well as Nancy Carroll and Joshua James.
