He will be the worst. He doesn't know how to play a roll! He won't be the slightest like Jace.

He's got more of an Alec build and he just doesn't LOOK like Jace
OMD!!! I can't BELIEVE that they're going to make the film and make him of all people JACE!!1 He is totally ruining it! He looks...he looks... I don't even know what he looks like but it is NOT sexy amazing, beautiful golden eyed JACE WAYLAND!!!
Ivee, completely agree!

He's actually a really good actor. And the author fell in love with his portrayal of Jace. They can always change his appearance to be more Jace-like (and hopefully they do), but they can't change his acting skills, and he can really act.

Whatever. I bet in a couple years people will be going, OMGOSH, JAMIE CAMPBELL BOWER IS SOOO HAWT!Hey, this is the guy playing Young Grindelwald in Deahtly Hallows 2, and he's engaged to Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley).
I think he looks fine -- just not in this picture.
As for him as Jace? I don't like Jace much. So don't care.
Please don't attack me.
I just wanted to say that you guys shouldn't get all angry over him -- because it'd probably be like that whole Katniss thing -- makeup does wonders, the thing you should be worrying about is his acting.
Amen sista!!!! I couldn't AGREE more! I know it can be disappointing when we've all envisioned a look for the characters we love but sometimes the actors can surprise so I'll leave it at that. I wasn't a huge Jace fan anyway and Jamie Cambell Bower isn't quite who I pictured as Jace but I still am excited about the movie. Hopefully he does a great job!
Im really disappointed that he's playing Jace :(
I felt the same way about Rob Pat and Kristen playing Edward and Bella but by the time the second film rolled around I accepted it and it turned out to be not so disappointing afterall. I prefer just keeping the pic I imagine for the characters in mind otherwise I'd always be annoyed at the actors they pick for the films. As long as the acting is good I can't complain too much. I guess we'll see how it turns out. :)
And don't even get me started on Kristen's acting, ugh...haha
ok this guy does NOT fit Jaces part at ALL!!!!I am so disappointed that they chose him.
i love the books like everyone here but i think everyone is taking it all way too seriously. he might not be the vision that all the readers were hoping for, but you shouldn't be freaking out this much over the actor because he was picked for a role that is giving us a chance to see one of our favourite series played out for us on the big screen. we're lucky we even get a movie, so maybe be a little more thankful. you never know until we see him play the part, he might blow you away.

And just yesterday I saw Jamie playing the young Arthur in Camelot and he's not that bad of an actor. So I'll just go with it. Still not happy though. But kinda excited about the film!
If i were the caster, i would consider to cast Alex again. It has to be Alex!!!! HAS TO BE!!!!

What movie is that?
Ok so we can't all have the character Jace be what we imagined because we probably all imagined different things. And as for Jamie, make up will really help him in the looks department but as for the acting, the directors chose him so he can't really be THAT bad of an actor. You should all be open to him and if he bombs it, he bombs it. We still have the books to looks forward to. Have some trust in Cassandra
Ehm, he isn't as I imagined him, though
ummmmmm.......definitely NOT! he looks nothing like i envisioned jace to be.....but if they cast Alex Pettyfer for the role my opinion would definitely change!!!!!!!
No! He is definitely not Jace! I think Alex Pettyfer would be better.

Hmmmm not really feeling this one..... :-/
I love Jace and so far I cannot picture him in that role by any stretch of the imagination. However, I wasn't excited about Robert Pattinson as Edward either, but I adore him now. Of course if Cassandra Clare loves him thats all that matters, and I will definitely buy a ticket to hopefully have my doubts washed away.
Seriously, do we really want an actor who doesn't want to do the movie to sign on? Interviews would be awful, as it would be clear that he hadn't bought into the world. And his attitude toward the fandom would have been less than stellar, as it often isn't the actor thenselves that he fans are into, but the character they portray.Plus, if the rumours of his ego are to be believed, then that would have been a negative stain on the franchise.
One final thought: there is only one person in the world who knows exactly what Jace is like. And that is Cassandra. Since she has said how perfect Jamie is for the role, then he is perfect. No one can argue with the creator. He may not be like how you saw the character in your head, but Cassandra is the only one who can speak to how Jace actually is.

YES!! !
YES!! !
I personally think that Cassie has no power in casting selection. Not all author has privileges like J.K. Rowling. I also doubt that Cassie will say any bad remarks against the actor chosen as Jace. In Jamie's case, Cassie was quiet for a while and did not give her direct consent or comment. She did later. If she was so excited about Jamie, she would have done it earlier.I love Alex Pettyfer so much and he resembles Jace perfectly. But I have watched his movies. So I feel hesitate to have him as Jace. He (regretfully) is not good enough to play Jace. Jamie, on the other hand, is a good actor even though I could not (yet) picture him as Jace.
I love having the movie and I think Jamie will pull his best to play Jace.
He looks so.....SCARY!!!Run for your life!' lock your doors!!
That is not his real look. The photo has been awfully altered.
AlbertaJenn wrote: "Seriously, do we really want an actor who doesn't want to do the movie to sign on? Interviews would be awful, as it would be clear that he hadn't bought into the world. And his attitude toward the ..."yah, i think i saw somewhere on here that she didn't have any say who was picked for the role of jace. i'm not too sure though. if she did say that jamie was perfect, coming from the AUTHOR, then you're right and i'll have to agree too. she was the one who came up with all things that are jace so her fans should back her up on this.
i would take talent over someone who fit the role look-wise any day. especially if the actor who everyone wanted to play the part was a real ass (maybe it would come in handy since jace has an attitude? but still, no thanks). personally i haven't heard any stories about alex but why would you want someone to play out one of your favourite characters who didn't even want to? i would want someone happy and excited about the opportunity to do it.
Ok, what I totally don't get it why Hollywood cannot honour a fandom for once and choose the actor/ress according to the character! I mean, all MI fans have practially chosen Alex Pettyfer as Jace unanimously! But NO, they had to get this pretty-boy - who couldn't even look like Jace's second cousin, twice removed - to play him! UGH!
well apparently they did choose the right person to play jace because cassandra clare felt like he was the right pick and that's coming from the author of the books. she's the one who came up with the personality, the looks and everything that makes him.also, didn't i read on here that alex TURNED DOWN the role? so it's not in the hands of hollywood listening to the fans anymore. if someone turns down a role, it's not like you can force them to do it. if he was offered the role, i'm kinda glad he turned it down. i don't want someone doing an okay job because he looks good, i want someone who can do an awesome job and probably not look as bad as everyone thinks because in movies you can fix someone up to look a certain way.
Jessica wrote: "i read on here that alex TURNED DOWN the role"yeah i heard about that - but i simply had to take out my annoyance anyway. because i've also been disappointed with the Hunger Games cast which is developing almost simultaneously with this.
i know it's not what you wanted but jamie could surprise you. if he's a better actor, then it's way better for the movie in the end.
^ i certainly hope so! for all the characters, really, not just Jace. but, you know, Jace being Jace, i want his portrayal to be especially well done.plus JamieCB is playing Grindewald in HP7, and he must be good enough for that, so that is redeeming on his behalf. ;)
Honestly, they're gonna look COMPLETELY different in the movie than in any of these pictures. And besides, casting people cant go ask every person who has read the book how they pictured him. And they also have to look and see if he is actually a good actor. Cause one kid maybe exactly how you pictured him but be the worst actor in the world. Save your complaints till after you see the movie.

"In this case, Cassandra Clare was asked about the casting after Jamie has been cast as Jace. Cassie is not like JK Rowling, who has a say about the actors/actresses in Harry Potter. In fact, so far, it is only JK Rowling who owns such privilege.
Cassie is wise enough to say all the good things about Jamie and Lily Collins, but I doubt she will say anything bad about the casting in any way.
Furthermore, the movie is not out yet, not until 2012. Everything may happen. At least we could wish for the best with Mortal Instruments movie....:)

"Apparently, I think you are quite naive. Cassie will have tremendous fame by having a movie to her book. It could also guarantee the success of her next books. If somehow, the movie is disappointing enough, she still has her books.
After Jamie has been cast as Jace, Cassie did not say her approval right away, especially because lots of fans were upset with the casting. She hesitated for a while. If Jamie has been her number one choice, or ever in her options of Jace, she would have given away her happiness right away.
I have nothing against Jamie. I was unhappy with how he looks unlike Jace but I wish both actor and movie all the best. So far, Jamie is a better actor than my beloved Alex Pettyfer. I am bliss to have him as Jace and not Alex. I love Mortal Instruments series...:)
i'm naive? okay. did i ever say that she wouldn't have more of a spotlight on her and her books after the movie was done? no, i already knew that she would because that's what happens. it's definitely going to be a positive thing for her and i never said once it wasn't going to be. books come out and readers pay attention, movies come out and everyone gets interested and wonders where it came from. that's how it's been for a lot of books turned movie/tv show (twilight saga, pretty little liars, sookie stackhouse, the vampire diaries.. it could go on forever).
i was just reading this thread and everyone takes it way too seriously. just because alex didn't get the part, the world is ending and some people even said they weren't going to see the movie. i just think that's a little too much just because a certain someone wasn't casted.

I believe she did say in an interview in Hollywoodcrush that she didn't knew immediately that Jace was casted. It was actually the first question asked of her, like why she was "uncharacteristically quiet when the news broke out".
Anyway, she did say she was asleep and was only called by her agent to warn her about it.
Here's the link to the interview, just in case you have not read it. ^_^

No...I dislike JCB for Jace :S Alex Pettyfer would've been a better choice...

thanks for the link, kim!
NOOOOOOOOO!!!! *cries* No way am I watching if this is Jace...*sobs*
Kim Jea wrote: "Anyway, she did say she was asleep and was only called by her agent to warn her about it."Fans (including me) sent complaints right away to Cassie's facebook and Mortal Instruments page. That is why I understood that she gave her respond later.
Your info is interesting. If Cassie was not informed about the casting, then she indeed has no say in the movie, as I said before.
I personally do not care lot if Cassie gives her consent or not. I will definitely watch the movie and comment later about it.
WHY WHY WHY!
All my hopes gone down...oh well *sniffs* i cant judge now can i.
Saying he doesnt suit it wont make me suit it.
Saying he's ugly wiont make me beautiful.
Saying he's a sh!t actor wont make me better (I havent acted, just appear in a T.V series that comes on Community Channel)
Saying he's a crap Jace wont make me Jace (female version).
So lets get on with it guys...he's cast and its all put.
Sit back and chilax..

But you can gleam some idea of their thoughs if you look at the wording an author uses. That can be the most telling than the tone of the statement.
For example, when Kristen Stewart was first cast as Bella, Stephenie Meyer used statements like "she has a lot of experience" and "I can't wait to see how she does", which indicated (at least to me) that she was taking a wait-and-see approach. Her wording was stronger when it came to describing the rest of the cast (such as telling Catherine Hardwicke that Kellan was perfect for Emmett).

I was shaking my head when I read the part where the interviewer asked why she was so quiet on Twitter. She is active on Twitter, yes, but she doesn't live on Twitter 24/7! The woman needs to eat and sleep (and write). I liked the part where she talks about the audition tape; it does show that she did have some input into the process, although she was not a decisionmaker for the film. I think that her opinion mattered to the producers more than her lack of direct power may indicate.
Guys, I keep receiving notifications on this! Calm down! The directors chose Jamie for a reason! We can't ignore this. Clare herself said that he was unbelievable. He must be perfect for Jace and we just don't know it. We MUST give him a chance. The movies haven't even released yet. Stop complaining and deal with it. This is what always happens. Fans complained about the castings for Katniss and Peeta from The Hunger Games. Fans complained for Harry and Draco from Harry Potter. It always happens. But we must be grateful. We finally found our Jace!
Personally, I think he looks like a little kid in most of his pictures. Lets see how the stylists pull this one off..... http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&...
~Now that's a Jace lol
~I know, it's too late. I just have to deal
@AlbertaJenn: That is nice information. But as I said before, I did not actually care about the Author's opinion on the movie casting. Regarding MI, I understood that Cassie supported Alex Pettyfer as Jace Wayland for so many fans (including me) were excited about that. When Alex said No, Cassie seemed to just wait for the casting. When Jamie has been cast, most fans complained to her and said bad things about Jamie (Not me for I know Jamie is a good actor) and Cassie kept quiet for a while. Later, she said that she is happy with Jamie. Surely her manager (or whoever) could say anything about sleeping blah blah blah. I have stopped caring about the actors and focusing on the movie.
I enjoy good movies even if it has differences with the book. I love HP books and movies, even though there are fans who are upset with the movies.
So whether I like Mortal Instruments or not, it will depend on the movie quality, not whether the author is happy or unhappy with the casting.
Its like freakin' WWIII on here!!
