{Casting News} City of Bones has their Valentine!

A couple days ago, rumors had spread around the internet saying Jonathan Rhys Meyers is cast as Valentine, well a day later, Cassie confirmed it! I don't know about you, but he's not at all what I pictured at Valentine in the books, but I'm sure they'll work magic on him for the movie! Plus...it's Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Hotness walking. *fans self*

Here's the post Cassie posted on Tumblr.

Cassie said:

I’ve liked JRM since he was in Velvet Goldmine and I have to admit that image was what sprang immediately to mind when the producer called me and said “…Jonathan Rhys Meyers?”

I was like, “Velvet Goldmine!”

And Robert, who is German and very practical, was like, “I hope you have seen things he is in since then or I will assume you do not go to the theater.”

So yes I should probably also mention that JRM plays Henry the 8th on The Tudors, and does a very good job of being charismatic, power-hungry, and cold.

Did Henry the Eighth own unbuttoned white shirts? And unlaced pants? Either way I suppose we now see why Valentine got so many people to follow his crazy schemes. I suspect by the end of the movie everyone will be going “Just do what that good-looking guy tells you to do, you crazy kids!”

I should probably also mention that he was great in Match Point and Bend it Like Beckham and lots of my other favorite movies. So, in sum: Ireland, we have cleaned you out of your hot men. Sorry about that. You can have them back in three months when they’re done filming. In the meantime, Sarah Rees Brennan has offered to go onset and paint shamrocks on all the trailers.

What do you guys think? :D 

The Mortal Instruments, City of Bones Movie Synopsis

TMI Source has posted the official City of Bones movie synopsis over on their website here. I've been a fan of this series since 2009. And I can't wait until the movie comes out! :) It's going to be exciting to see that world come to life. I know some people don't Jamie Campbell Bower as Jace, but I'm okay with him. He's got experience in acting, and he's cute. :) And I just love Lily Collins as Clary. She's adorable. Can't wait!~

CLARY FRAY (Lily Collins) is an ordinary Brooklyn teenager until the night she meets the mysteriously tattooed JACE, who turns out to be a half-angel warrior known as a Shadowhunter. When Clary finds out her mother JOCELYN has been abducted, she desperately hopes Jace will be able to help. After a whirling golden portal transports her across time and space in a heartbeat, Clary realizes she too has the powers of the Shadowhunters. But can she harness them in time to save her mother?  

Clary, Jace and their fellow Shadowhunters endure one breathtaking battle after another against vampire, warlocks and demons—only to discover Jocelyn hid a terrible secret from the fiercest warrior of all: VALENTINE. Cast out from the world of Shadowhunters, Valentine abducted Jocelyn believing she had a powerful tool known as the Mortal Cup. Using her newfound gifts, Clary finds the Cup, only to be brutally betrayed and forced to relinquish it.  

Still reeling from this setback and racing to save Jocelyn before it’s too late, Clary finds herself caught in a battle between forces she barely understands. Based on the best-selling series by Cassandra Clare, THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS: CITY OF BONES is a magnificent urban fantasy rich in detail and suspense, about a girl’s journey to the darkest corners of the underworld to save those she loves.

So what do you guys think? It's pretty dang close to the actual book! Makes me even more excited! :D
