If you’ve been following the Shadowhunter/TMI updates for
the past couple of months, I’m sure it’s not a surprise to you that Cassandra
Clare’s The Mortal Instruments series has been given a second chance - second
chance to prove to people how insanely badass the story is and another chance
to redeem itself.
As a fan of the series, I can’t tell you how both extremely
excited and nervous I was when it was announced years ago that they were going
to make a movie out of the books. Finally, the Shadowhunters and friends (especially the famous
glittery warlock) will be personified. But as the casting went on, my excitement
deflated. I was having a hard time picturing some of the characters playing their
respective roles. But I tried to have faith with the people behind the movie. I
convinced myself that they know what they were doing. And the movie came out after a few months. I
did not expect much, but I was still a little bummed that it was not as good as I wanted it to be. I guess it was okay. It’s not one of those
movies that I would gush about for days and force my friend to watch.
Then, the news broke out that The Mortal Instruments series
will be made into a television series. Well, for me, that is definitely good
news. There’s a chance that the story will be closer to the books, and the
story won’t be rushed because you have an entire season (and more seasons to come, hopefully) to map out the plot.
Aside from that, another thing to be excited about is the new cast. Yay!
*ignore the TMI back story and fast forward to the casting
news*
DOMINIC SHERWOOD will be the new JACE!!!
I am not really a fan of Dom Sherwood. You might have seen him on Vampire Academy playing Lissa’s love interest, and on Taylor Swift’s Style music video. He’s okay, but not the picture of Jace I had in mind. There’s actually no vivid picture of Jace in my head. Hahahahaha! Anyway, after I found out about the casting, I searched for pictures and videos of him. The pictures were “hmmm… no comment” (he’s appearance is similar to Robert Pattinson, and I don’t like Rob), but the videos I’ve seen were pretty good. Maybe it was his charm, or the British accent, or maybe even his different colored eyes. Whatever it is, there was something that told me he might play Jace well. There might be chance that he’s Jace after all.
Right now, I'm sure my Shadowhunter friends are waiting for the next casting news. *fingers crossed*
