Oh no, I'm sorry, that wasn't all directed at you! Not at all, I was just speaking to everyone who might click onto the discussion. I understand what you meant, and I agree. I just didn't want anyone who's never seen him before, to see the pic and think, THAT'S Jace?! Anyway I'm sorry it seemed like that was aimed at you or something, it wasn't in the least.


I like him as Jace. Even though I was rooting for Alex P. I think that Jamie will be a great Jace, there is something quite intriguing about him.

I agree. I was watching interviews with the 2 of them, and Alex P. has this sort of openness in his face, whereas Jamie has a lot more mystery I think. Especially around his eyes-he looks as if he could give you a million different looks. Not the case with Alex.
yah, I mean he was good in twilight... guess we'll see howhe does in CoB
I knew because I watched new moon...


tbh - I think we lucked out. He turned it down and he wanted $10m for the movie which would have brought the quality of the rest of the cast down and, I hate to say it, but he's just not that good an actor. Throw in the fact he's an asshole and half asses promo/doesn't get along with his co-stars then I really think that we lucked out with JCB who is a better actor (which is what really counts), a nice guy and has experience of working on successful franchises.
I wanted Max Irons, and I know that so many fans in a dream fancast wanted AP because he looks the part, but this movie needs someone who more than looks the part and JCB, whatever you think of his physical suitability, will do a better job of being Jace, capturing his personality, being a credit to the series during filming & promo than AP would, I strongly believe that.
I think Jamie Campbell Bower will be a great Jace.


According to THR which is beyond reliable, Alex wanted $10m to do it - so he may have wanted the part (doubtful tbh), but not at a price that was realistic or ever going to happen. If I want a promotion at work at double my salary it doesn't mean my bosses are going to give me it so I can't complain when they go look elsewhere for a person who's ego doesn't surpass their talent.
I love the fanart. I'm really excited to see how the rest of the cast is going to work out now. I'm really happy with our Clary & Jace now.

Oh yeah just to clarify, that's a complete rumor. Alex actually didn't want the part..instead he accepted the role in the movie about Channing Tatum and his stripper days.


But I'm just going to accept the fact that Jamie is Jace and hope for the best, I suppose...
