Sony Pictures gave attendees at Saturday's WonderCon a look at their upcoming adaptation of The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones. On hand to greet the fans were the book's author, Cassandra Clare, along with stars Lily Collins, Jamie Campbell Bower and Kevin Zegers. Here's what they showed and had to say about the fantasy film.
What's The Next Hunger Games?
Collins plays Clary Fray, a New York teenager who 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.
They screened the brand new trailer for the film before taking questions from the audience. Clare said that the film, which she hasn't seen in its entirety, is as close to the spirit of the book as possible without being 10 hours long. She recalled the great access she was given, from hours of conversations with the casting director to visits to the set and even being able to make a cameo in the movie.
Collins said they needed to make Clary accessible to the audience, someone who could be your friend amidst all these crazy situations. Bower said his character will be both vulnerable and snarky. All of the panelists said (surprise!) how much they enjoyed working on the film and with each other.
The Mortal Instruments opens August 23.
