Q&A with Cassandra Clare discussion

Joshua Anthony Brand - Will Herondale

I agree - Joshua is probably the closest we can get to Will in looks, but can he act?

The Will Herondale one with Anthony Brand looked awesome

I´m agree!! he´s so perfect!! i mean it´s like someone take Will from the book

douglas booth (from great expectations) for will :)

I don't see Douglas Booth working for that role at all... He looks nothing like Will and he's not good-looking enough! :-D

hahaha! really i'm good with either of them :)

hahahaha! either ones good for me :)

I like Jeremy Irvine as Will, Anthony Neely as Jem, Hailee Steinfeld as Tessa, Lucas Till as Nate, Simon Woods as Henry, Hunter Parrish as Gabriel and Max Irons as Gideon Lightwood i like them :)

I agree with Joshua Brand as Will because of his looks but the question is can he play the role of Will..lol

totally joshua anthony brand for will herondale.




this is perfection.
#joshuabrand4willherondale

wwooooowwwww FOR THE ANGEL!! #joshuabrand4willherondale

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i think that Jem have to be asian,and i think "Henry Lau" (k-pop Idol) fits perfectly as Jem ,he can speak english,he can also play the violin and he is Taiwanese-Hong Kong Canadian so he speakes Mandarin Chinese too,not that onley he also looks amazing with Blonde hair so he can pull silver hair perfectly , google him ,i mean he is perfect he have all the Jem qualities.

and here some Henry Lau pics

I want to be tessa Jk ( not relly) but i think that Jensen ackles from Supernatural he is Dean Wendchester but he would be a PERFACT Will but he would be to old for Will by the time TID is reddy for casting

I hope that TID movie is better than the TMI movie. THe TMI was not exactly what I hoped for.

Joshua Anthony Brand? i did not know him, but YES! perfect Will Herondale!

I disagree. He doesn't fit for Will.

I think Ansel Elgort would be good for Nate. Lol he's already playing a corrupt brother in Divergent so why not?

I agree 100%. Oh wow.

Tessa — Willa holland
Will — Max Irons
Jessamine — Gabriella Wilde
Charlotte — Emily browning
Nate — Jake Abel

question: should Tessa Gray have an American accent?

Of course.

then we need an american actress, right?

A lot of british actresses can do an american accent :-)

I never heard of Joshua Anthony Brand before, but I googled him and he's exactly how I pictured Will in my mind.


I think that Sophie Turner would make a good Tessa.


OR maybe Elizabeth Olsen


Holliday Granger as Jessamine. I could not imagine anyone else!


Ellen Page as Charlotte!

But what about Jem? :'(

I just don't know any celebrity of that age who could do him justice.

*pouts* thats true sadly :'(

Astrid Berges Frisbey - Tessa Gray
Joshua Anthony Brand - Will Herondale
Anthony Neely/Mitch Hewer - Jem Carstairs
Emilia Clarke/Alexis Bledel - Sophie Collins
Kevin Flamme - Gabriel Lightwood
Daniel Sharman - Gideon Lightwood
Tasmin Egerton/Holliday Grainger - Jessamine Lovelace
Lucas Till - Nate Gray
Ashley Greene - Charlotte Branwell
Simon Woods - Henry Branwell
Willa Holland - Cecily Herondale
Amber Heard - Camille Belcourt

I think these actors will suit the roles of the characters best. I'm not sure about some of them, so I've put a slash sign with the 2 actors I think can play the role. Anyone want to choose?

If someone can find an actor who looks exactly like this: http://images5.fanpop.com/image/photo...
I will be happy
(found this drawing online)

Astrid Berges Frisbey- Tessa
Joshua Brand- Will
Anthony Neely- Jem
Felicity Jones- Sophie
Jenna Louise Coleman- Charlotte
Gabriella Wilde- Jessamine
Domhnall Gleeson- Henry

There's my cast for the gang of the London Institute!

I don't think Anthony Neely is a good fit for Jem ... But will there be an actual movies or not ??

I don't know but I wish there will be. I honestly don't think that Anthony Neely can capture Jem good enough, so if anyone has any other suggestions I'd be happy to hear them!

Clockwork Angel has been optioned by the same company with City of Bones. There has been no casting choices made yet that I am aware of, but it is in the works.

okay, first of all you don’t have to completely 100% agree with these choices, these are just actors I thought best depicted the description in the books, the three most important ones are Tessa, Will and Jem, the actors for them have to be absolutely detail for detail like the book describes them, the Dream Cast for this movie should be people who aren't particularly famous already so here’s what I can picture:

Tessa Gray – Emma Rigby. Emma is my favorite actress for Tessa. Come on, SHE IS TESSA! Probably the only reason I see her as our Clockwork Princess is because she was in a period show for BBC called Ripper Street this past winter. The hair and costumes help with the imagination. She’s a British actress known for her roles on soap operas such as Hollyoaks and Prisoner Wives. She has previous experience in a similar production, and she just looks the part, yes Tessa has to be pretty, but not like Astrid, she has to be more pale and sullen looking but still pretty.

Will Herondale – Joshua Anthony Brand because he is absolutely perfect as Will. We will never find out the name of the model on the cover of Clockwork Angel so Joshua is the closest thing we have to getting Will right on screen.

Jem Carstairs – Mitch Hewer. He may bit a bit older than what Jem is but that’s nothing make-up and lighting can’t fix, plus they still have to whiten his complexion/skin tone and dye his hair vibrant silver, he just has the face for it and he’s gorgeous.

Charlotte Branwell – Jenna Louise Coleman, she just has the physical appearance.

Henry Branwell – Simon Woods, so does Simon, he suits the goofy role of Henry just by looking at him

Sohpie Collins – Alexis Bledel. She’s beautiful, so she would suit Sophie because Sophie was beautiful before she was scarred (not saying she isn’t beautiful now because she is)

Jessamine Lovelace – Tamsin Egerton. Tamsin isn’t perticularly famous, but from the role she played in St. Trinians, she has the potential to be the perfect Jessy

Gabriel Lightwood – Kevin Flamme, he’s hot, so is Gabriel

Gideon Lightwood – Daniel Sharman, he’s hot, so is Gideon

Cecily Herondale – Willa Holland, she’s so beautiful, she just looks like Cecily

Camille Belcourt – Amber Heard, she’s got the bone structure to be an elegant vampire

Magnus Bane – Godfrey Gao, you know why

Thomas – Jake Abel, just a suggestion, Thomas still has to look the part

DeQuincey – Joseph Morgan, purely because he’s blonde and wicked, but i’m not too sure about Joseph myself anyway

Axel Mortmain – Michael Fassbender, YES YES YES he’s just the right age, brilliant actor, he could pull it off so well

Nathaniel Gray – Xavier Samuel, I don’t know about Xavier as Nate, but this is just from what I've seen on other people’s lists

Will Herondale.

I think that Nina Dobrev would be PERFECT for Tessa

I agree with this btw...

Nina Dobrev doesn't have the gray eyes even though I agree. She seems good to play Tessa.

i think jenna louise coleman or daisy ridley would be a good charlotte

I think Hailee Steinfield as Tessa.

Astrid Berges-Frisbey/ Nina Dobrev/Adelaide Kane-Tessa
Aaron Johnson-Will
Anthony Neely-Jem
Adelaide Kane-Cecily
Xavier Samuel-Gabriel
Jenna Coleman-Charlotte
Eddie Redmayne-Henry
Felicity Jones-Sophie
Gabriella Wilde-Jessamine
Dianna Agron/Amber Heard-Camille

I think Adelaide is perfect for both Tessa and Cecily.She doesn't have blue eyes but I pictured Cecily exactly like her.She also looks like Tessa so she could be her too.
And Aaron...I can't even...

I totally agree with most of your dreamcasts! But also:

Gideon → Kevin Flamme or Gen Huismans.
Woolsey Scott → Ton Heukels or Paul Boche (Paul looks exactly like Woolsey, but I usually prefer Ton, just because of his lips, LOL. By the way: Paul → Woolsey).
Ragnor Fell → I like Adam Kenneth Wilson, to be honest.


And also Godfrey Gao as Magnus Bane, because of course.

no!! Will has more of a square jaw and cecily is quite young.
my only objections
:D
i think Will could be played by Lucas Till

I don't like hailee steinfeld as an actress

Willa holland as Tessa

Tessa- Emily Rudd?

Will- Anthony Brand (or maybe Florian Nueville even though he's not an actor. we could make his hair black and curly and give him blue contacts. idk its just something about his face)

Jem- Mitch Hewer

Charlotte- Carey Mulligan

Henry-Eddie Redmayne

Jessamine-?

Sophie- Anna Speckheart

Cecily-?

Gideon-?

Gabriel-?

Mortman-Dylan Walsh

Camille- Melanie Laurent

Nate-?
