Mortal Instruments Dream Movie Cast
Since Cassandra Clare has announced that her series The Mortal Instruments has been optioned for a film trilogy and currently has secured both funding and a screen writer I'm starting to get excited!! In order to help me survive what is sure to be a several year wait for the first movie (I wouldn't expect anything sooner then late 2012 at the earliest) I decided to put together my dream cast for the characters.
Clary Fray - as portrayed by Molly Quinn
Clary was a hard person for me to cast. In the end I choose Molly because she had the right
amount of youth (she's 17 and totally looks like she could play 15-16 even in a couple of years) and
sweetness as well as a hint of attitude underneath.
(Plus she just looks good when put next to Alex Pettyfer...hee)
Jace Wayland - as portrayed by the gorgeous Alex Pettyfer
Alex IS Jace.
There can be no other for me.
Even if they cast someone other then him when the real actors are assembled,
he'll always be my Jace. Loved him in "Wild Child", but haven't seen him in anything else. He's a fairly
newish actor but he's also about the right age for Jace, being 20 years old he could play younger easily.
Anyway, look at that hair and those eyes and that smirk....siiiiiiigh. ^_^
Isabelle Lightwood - as portrayed by Summer Glau
It was hard to find someone who had the right combination of "girlie and bad-ass", but
I've loved Summer in Serenity and Terminator and think she fits Izzy well. :) Doesn't she
just scream "Shadowhunter" in these pictures? ;)
Alec Lightwood - as portrayed by Skandar Keynes
Honestly, he wasn't my first choice for Alec. But then, I didn't really have a
choice in mind. I stumbled across this picture with a quote by Alec from
City of Ashes which I loved, however. But Skandar does have a nice amount
of brooding going on in this picture, and he's got the whole Alec wardrobe going for him too.
Magnus Bane - as portrayed by Chriss Angel
High Warlock of Brocklyn, Maguns has a flare all his own and is one
of my favorite characters after Jace. Chriss has always been my Magnus.
Even though Cassandra Clare has said that Magnus is part Asian. I just
can't get Chriss out of my head. Heh. I mean, just check out that glittery,
multi-coloured hair! ;)
Simon Lewis - as portrayed by Kristopher Turner
I love Simon. I was so glad when his character got a
bigger part as the series went on. Sure, he's still a secondary character,
but I'm really looking forward to the next few books and seeing how
his character grows. I've never seen him act in anything but I love how he looks.
He's totally how I imagined Simon from the books! :)
Jocelyn Fray (Clary's Mom) - as portrayed by ?
(Actually I don't know who this woman is offhand....although she looks
very familiar, so she must be famous. I'm just terrible with names and faces... XD).
Anyway, she's very pretty and looks like she could pass for my "Clary's mom" if
Molly Quinn were cast for Clary. ;)
Luke Garroway/Lucian Graymark - as portrayed by Scott Patterson
Throw a pair of glasses on Scott and you have my "Luke". You could even pretend that the "open"
sign behind him was leading into his bookstore. :) (Although my fixation on Scott as "Luke" may be partially
due to the fact that I adored him as another "Luke" on Gilmore Girls...heh.)
Valentine - as portrayed by Viggo Mortensen
I think I see it because of the interesting beard he's got going on in this picture. Although Valentine
had white hair in the book. But with the snappy suite and cocky yet handsome face, he'd make a
very fine Valentine. Too bad he's evil. ;)
Maia as portrayed by - Jurnee Smollett
I don't know anything about this girl, but she fits the description of Maia in the books quite
well and she is very pretty. I could see her giving Jace a piece of her mind. Lol.
Another one of my favorites for Maia is Jessica Szohr (from Gossip Girl)
Everyone's favourite werewolf girl. ;) I hope that Maia and Simon
hook up in "City of Fallen Angels" (book #4, not out until April 2011!!).
Well, that is unless Izzy decides to give him the time of day first. Heh.
Also, I'm aware that my chosen actress has blue eyes while Maia
has brown, but just imagine in some coloured contacts, ok? ;)
