Is The Mortal Instruments series the new Twilight?
Ever since the success of the earlier
Hollywood supernatural series, it seems as if movies of such genres have
managed to seize teen attention easily. And now it’s time for the Mortal
Instrument fever to touch the teen lives with its latest breathtaking fantasy
series. With ‘Mortal Instruments: City of Bones’ hitting the theatres this
August end, the second in the series, ‘Mortal Instruments: City of Ashes’ is
already in the making.
Inspired with the famous bestseller
‘Mortal Instruments’, the $60 million movie ‘Mortal Instruments: City of Bones’
marks its entry into Hollywood with its first instalment of the six book
series. The story revolves around a teenager Clary Fray’s search for her
missing mother, which leads her to a city filled with mysterious fairies,
raucous warlocks, vampires and other demons.
The film casts the three hot young stars-
Lily Collins, Jamie Campbell Bower & Robert Sheehan, who have already
managed to pull a ten million fan following both offline and on social sites.
With the film starting to cast its spell on its audience, it really makes us
wonder- Is ‘The Mortal Instruments’ the next ‘Twilight’?
The International Bestseller has successfully sold Sixteen
Million copies in 35 languages.
From printed page to big screen, it's been a
journey for author Cassandra Clare and her "Mortal
Instruments" series. For her, the
making of the movie seemed like a dream. Every action in the film is based on
her book and it has all gone through a long process. Clare herself hails from a
family which is into movie-making. Her grandfather was a movie producer. She
has grown up in the film industry.
Movie-making is a time taking task and requires
patience but it was certainly not unexpected for Clare who has movie-making in
her blood. The book was well modified into the film with the director keeping
an eye on every detail, focussing on the characters and their relationships to
the special effects involved in the fantasy sequence.
It is a very touching moment for an author to see
her romantic-supernatural fantasy series being adapted into a Hollywood flick.
And hence, Clare wasn’t just an observer on sets. Like many authors before her,
she has made a cameo in the movie which is based on her best-selling series.
"The Mortal Instruments: City of
Bones," co-starring Jamie Campbell Bower, Lily Collins and Robert Sheehan,
opens August 30.
