With a somewhat decent trailer, I’m curious to see if Mortal Instruments: City of Bones fits out criteria for coverage. We’ll see soon enough! In the meantime, here’s a pic of Jemima West all tatted up as her character, Isabelle.

Directed by Harald Zwart for Sony Screen Gems, “When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder—much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It’s hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing—not even a smear of blood—to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy? This is Clary’s first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It’s also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace’s world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her mother? And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know…”

In theaters August 23, 2013, Lily Collins, Jamie Campbell Bower, Kevin Durand, Robert Maillet, Lena Headey, Jared Harris, Godfrey Gao, Kevin Zegers and Jonathan Rhys Meyers also star.

Well, Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, certainly looks like a more horror-centric take on the post Harry Potter YA studio movie. The new trailer from MTV actually looks alright to me, not necessarily my thing but I’d probably be fine with seeing it.

The Harald Zwart (Karate Kid) directed Mortal Instruments, an adaptation of Cassandra Clare’s YA fantasy novel, had previously been picked up by Constantin Film. Now they are likely partnering up with Sony Pictures for the production.

Per Deadline “Sony Pictures is the frontrunner to partner with Constantin on the live action adaptation of Cassandra Clare’s ‘The Mortal Instruments’. Sony Pictures, which has ‘The Da Vinci Code’ and ‘James Bond’ and is expected to go forward with the second installment in ‘The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo’ franchise, is looking to fortify its tent pole business.”

In the film, “Clary, a seemingly ordinary teenager, discovers she is the descendant of a line of Shadowhunters, a secret cadre of young half-angel warriors locked in an ancient battle to protect our world from demons. After the disappearance of her mother, Clary must join forces with a group of Shadowhunters who introduce her to a dangerous alternate New York called Downworld, filled with demons, warlocks, vampires, werewolves and other deadly creatures.”

Jessica Postigo and I. Marlene King wrote the script while Lily Collins (Mirror, Mirror) was previously announced as starring. READ MORE

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.
