Absolutely LOVE Jamie Campbell Bower. Love Jace. Dont love them as one person. I guess I pictured someone taller, more built. English boys dont really work out like American guys. But I adore the kid, so I hope he proves me wrong :)

In the book Katniss is only described as having olive skin, gray eyes, dark hair. How do you get that she doesn't look AT ALL like her?

I agree. I imagined someone completely different. Now I'm not sure if I want to see the movie...?


Yeah, I never really imagined the accent on Jace, but I think it sounds kind of cool. Hehe... I'm a sucker for British accents.
now that its brought up, can someone clarify it for me. I read the first three and dont recall jace,isabelle or alec being British, only maybe that they had british ancestry(obviously from how the infernal devices shape it). Were they brits just living in New York? Because I cant for the life of me remember, and dont remember catching that detail.

Nope, not British at all. Just their ancestors. They grew up in New York, and shouldn't have British accents.
Although, I do remember an interesting comment from someone (I don't remember who, sorry!) who said something about Jace and an accent from when he grew up in Idris. Maybe if you grow up in Idris you develop a British accent? I don't think that happened in the books, but its an interesting idea.
In the end, I think it's just because Jamie Campbell Bower naturally has an accent.

before i wanted Jace to be roled by Alex Pettifer BUT HE TURNED OUT THE ROL..."
i just watched the 2nd trailer and..oh my god i cant wait to watch the movie!!!!!aaahhhhhh!!! so good!!and i think Jamie is not that bad plus he acts well...of course he is absolutely not as i imagined Jace to look like but....its all good.



I've seen the trailer and I'm not impressed. It's like another Twilight shizz. No offense to the Twilight fans. I'm just sick and tired of Hollywood adapting good books into blockbuster movies but somehow making them look like crap.
And the actors. Jeez! They always seem to pick the WRONG people. Or the actors just really cannot act.

IK!!!!! The trailer us freaking AWESOME. 8D

I agree 100 percent

Secondly though, why is his accent so strong. Some of the lines he delivers come off as really weird. I think they should have made him drop it.


I will agree with that. And he and Lily are a couple!

I totally agree with you



my heart just warmed to him i love jamie
go team jamie you suck team alex
he may not be the hottest guy out there that can act as jace but he is the best one that can perform jaces charecter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:):):):):):)
*fangirling here*

De acuerdo contigo!!! Diablos enserio no se que pasa con algunas chicas :D

my heart just warmed to him i love jamie
go team jamie you..."
and here! I love Jamie <3

*puts both hands up and dies of a heartattack*



But the casting for Valentine...Is perfect.


Jonathan Rhys Meyer is a handsome man, but he is not what Valentine is described in the story. Valentine is a big man, a sort of John Travolta one, rather than JRM one.

I honestly wish if anything they would have atleast kept his white blond hair. I didnt even know JRM was playing him.

They might stick to that. Trailer is for marketing purpose, and some details might change. I also hope they follow the detailed info about certain characters in the book or we will have a totally different City of Bones....
Check this out for more details.

I agree. When I first scrolled through the cast pictures, I'm like is that supposed to be Luke or someone else. He does not look like a teenager


I don't know, maybe I'm partial to him because the trailer actually led me to read the books...I don't know...I just personally love Jamie as Jace.

YES! i agree i defiantly see Jace in him. I hated jamie when i knew he was casted and i was never ready but then the trailer came out.... so ultimately it's his acting that counts in the end


I'm not really a fan of twilight so I don't know him a anything else. If you've seen one of his interviews he's got basically the same personality as Jace and physically, he IS fit.....I love him as Jace and he definitely has the acting skills for it. Don't judge before you've seen the movie.


Lol He IS fit? Really? That's what you call fit?
That dude is scrawny and looks like a junkie. He is in no way fit, at all. Dude looks like he'd fall over if I sneezed on him. Lol fit, that's funny
really....like what about the part in the trailer where jace is like "clary your mind is map" what that about. i found it a little weird.
