On June 10, 2010, Screen Gems announced that they were going into production on a Mortal Instruments film, based on City of Bones, with a script written by Jessica Postigo. On December 10, 2010, it was officially announced that Lily Collins had been cast as Clary Fray. Harald Zwart will be directing. Alex Pettyfer, a fan favorite, was offered the part of Jace Wayland; though he is an avid fan of the books and strongly desired to take on the role, he eventually decided not to do any more film adaptions based on young adult series,[10] leaving the character of Jace uncast. This decision affected the role highly as many producers and fans though he would have made a perfect Jace. Then on May 31, 2011, after much speculation as to who would play the story's leading man, it was officially announced that Jamie Campbell Bower from The Twilight Saga (Caius), would ultimately portray Jace Wayland. Filming is said to start in Toronto on August 15, 2012. It will also be shot in New York. The film is said to have clocked a $60 million budget. The Mortal Instruments is scheduled for an August 23, 2013 theatrical release.
