Hey guys,

I know a lot of you have been waiting for updates, so first, here's a two-part interview with Lily Collins where she talks about playing Clary, her favorite scenes, and what she is looking forward to filming the most:

And I know (I know!) a lot of you have seen these articles floating around:

http://hollywoodcrush.mtv.com/2011/01...

http://m.reelzchannel.com/movie-news/...

I wanted to wait till I could have an official chat with the studio folks before I said anything, so my small contribution is: I know Alex has met with the director, Scott Stewart, several times; I know he screened Scott's movie, Priest, and loved it; I know he read the TMI books over the holidays and really liked them and liked Jace, and asked his representatives to negotiate making a deal for the role of Jace. At this point it's all about the deal, which really doesn't have anything to do with me, so I stand back and wait for news like the rest of you.

Anyone for a game of Scrabble?

Izzy | 38 comments he has to be jace, he is awesomely perfect.


message 4: by Maddy (new)

Maddy (maddytaylor) | 5 comments NO NO NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :'(

He'd be an AWFUL Jace, what is wrong with everybody???!!!??? He's so wimpy, would totally ruin Jace's sarcasm badboy act and is just not that attractive!!!!

BOOOO


message 5: by Mairead (new)

Mairead | 309 comments Oooh, controversial. Considering he is Jace, to the tee, even personality wise, I have to respectfully disagree with you.


message 6: by Rachel (new)

Rachel (rachelcully) I am going to have to agree with Mairead on this one. i personally have never seen someone who fits a character in a book better than Alex with Jace.


message 7: by Maddy (new)

Maddy (maddytaylor) | 5 comments I guess I just read it differently, i'm one of a minority who feel this way. I guess i'm being unrealistic because I haven't really seen anyone who I think could play Jace! Its like no one can do him justice!

I hope this doesn't turn into a Twilight scenario :/


message 8: by starryeyedjen (new)

starryeyedjen has it been confirmed yet? i went to imdb to check the release date on 'i am number four' and went to his bio and it already lists him as playing jace: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1641117/


message 9: by Daylighter (new)

Daylighter (pantea13) no it's not right, i just asked the author & this is what she said

1) Anyone with an IMDB account can edit IMDB.
2) The addition of Alex is new as of this afternoon, so probably not the
source of rumors.
3) He remains unconfirmed.


message 10: by Michelle (new)

Michelle (mvpstrawberries) | 11 comments apparently he's "mulling" it over. but i get so excited.
http://hollywoodcrush.mtv.com/2011/01...

aww im sorry, Maddy. i kno how you feel i've been heartbroken before wit other characters. but i really do feel he'd b perfect.


message 11: by Kira (new)

Kira (kiraksi) But he would definitly take it, i mean common, who woulnt want to be known as the next heartthrob of the world? Plus he will get a lot of money and publicity off this movie since all tmi fans will go and watch multiple times if it is good

I want Pettyfer too, but it makes sense that he's looking at this from every angle before taking the role.

Taking this role could do him more harm than good. It's hard to know if this movie would make or break his career. It could be a HUGE positive thing for him and get him more recognition, or it could be the nail in the coffin of his career. Doing 3 teen movies back to back? (Beastly, I am Number Four and Mortal Instruments) If he wants to transition into adult or more serious roles, this could typecast him into only being a teen heartthrob (and I really hate that word, but that's the term) and screw with his career.

Just for the record, I really DO hope he takes it! I'm not trying to be a downer here. :)


message 13: by [deleted user] (new)

as far as looks go i think he'd make a perfect Jace... but personality wise... not sure, i know nothing about him. but isn't this like the third role he would take as an adaptation of a book? Everyone has high expectations for Jace... I sure do;-) I just hope he can pull it off.

I think he'd make a good Jace and since I don't see a better suitor I am crossing my fingers that he'll accept but I'm not like everyone else who thinks that NO ONE can play Jace but Alex. I think we just haven't found someone as good.

Alex is hot. :)


message 17: by Awo (new)

Awo  (awosbooks) | 1 comments Alex Petteyfer would be PERFECT to play Jace! He's so hot, never seen an actor look so much like the fictional character the way I imagined them.


message 18: by Kira (new)

Kira (kiraksi) He is hot, but i dont know about his acting, I guess we have to see, cant wait for i am number four to come out though

I'm with ya, Maddy. I'm not crazy about Alex, either. He's close enough, I guess, but like you said ... No one can really do Jace justice, in my opinion. :P


message 20: by Rachel (new)

Rachel (rachelcully) I really don't want to damper the mood but it looks like we maybe in for some bad news.

http://upandcomers.net/2011/01/27/ale...

However i chose to remain possitive and hopeful. he'd be stupid to reject this role.

message 22: by kayla** (new)

kayla** (kaylaxbooks) | 15 comments no, no, no!
if the whole movie plans are scrapped because of him, I WILL BE PISSED!
Alex Pettyfer please say YES to being Jace!
What is this Last Apprentice book anyways? Clearly, it's not as popular as TMI...


message 23: by Mairead (new)

Mairead | 309 comments They won't scrap it.


message 24: by kayla** (new)

kayla** (kaylaxbooks) | 15 comments I've heard the director is so set on Alex Pettyfer that if he can't have him, they won't make the movie...


message 25: by Mairead (new)

Mairead | 309 comments Cassandra Clare says that's not true. I heard that as well, but I think it was just him being Hyperbolic.


message 26: by Jazmyn (last edited Jan 28, 2011 01:15PM) (new)

Jazmyn Burton Ummmm, well this is kinda random and has nothing to do with the MI books or movies.... but Alex Pettyfer is our boy :) and this is a clip of his first time ever being on a american talk show. I felt compelled to put it on here because he is so darn adorable... and he takes his shirt off :D

message 28: by Daylighter (new)

Daylighter (pantea13) haha that was amazing! she actually made him take his shirt off!!!


message 29: by Mairead (new)

Mairead | 309 comments oh my god...he's just ridiculously good looking! :)
and he seems quite sweet. And absolutely adorable.
"I'm very happy in my perrsonal life"

There's no way they'll do that. Too much preparation has gone into it already.


message 31: by kayla** (new)

kayla** (kaylaxbooks) | 15 comments hahaha, ok...=)
that's a huge relief, I was so scared that they wouldn't make it because of that!

Well, I don't know for sure but it sounds like an empty threat to me.


message 33: by kayla** (new)

kayla** (kaylaxbooks) | 15 comments Yeah, I hope so=)
I didn't really take that rumour seriously till I started to hear it repeatedly...

but i loved him on ellen =)


message 35: by Mairead (new)

Mairead | 309 comments I love Ellen even more now!


message 36: by Daylighter (new)

Daylighter (pantea13) This is the latest thing that Cassie has said about Alex Pettyfer:

I've mostly been disallowing comments that are just random rumors floating
around the net about whether Alex is going to be Jace or not. The answer
remains a complete 'Nobody knows.' For the moment Wikipedia has it right
(though who knows how long that will last)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Pet...
" Sources also say
that he has been offered the part of Jace
Waylandin the upcoming
portayal of Cassandra
Clare 's best selling book, City
of Bones . No news if he has
accepted the part
yet.[14]
[15]
He has also been offered a part in an upcoming film adaption of Joseph
Delaney 's The Wardstone
Chronicles . There
have also been no news if he has accepted the part as well.
[16]
"
And here's from a fan who met him at an I Am Number Four event and asked him
about Jace.
http://twitter.com/#!/Neda16/status/3...
And here's me on the topic:
http://twishort.com/aced1
Basically, the sumup is: There's no official news, and likely won't be for a
while. I hope that helps. I also think it's a good idea to keep in mind that
life goes on even if he doesn't get cast. It won't affect whether they make
the movie or not.
Cassie

brittany (cirilla) I know right hes so hot.


message 38: by Mairead (new)

Mairead | 309 comments He's beautiful. This is insane!


Tina ♥ Bookaholic (martinabookaholic) hey guys, I also would be glad if Alex play the role fo Jace, but I think that won't happen :(
I just read on www.imdb.com that he got also offered the leading role in "the last apprentice"... and it's look like he's going to play this role :(

so, we have to find another perfect JACE :/


Tina ♥ Bookaholic (martinabookaholic) hope you're rigth, but my hopes are gone :(


message 41: by Jen (new)

Jen | 148 comments I hope he takes it because his already sexy body would look even sexier with runes. If he's Jace, I'll have the biggest helping of eye candy I've ever had.


Tina ♥ Bookaholic (martinabookaholic) ha ha, yeah - that would be great. I hope hope hope :D


message 43: by [deleted user] (new)

no kidding great eye candy;-)


message 44: by kayla** (last edited Feb 09, 2011 05:36PM) (new)

kayla** (kaylaxbooks) | 15 comments I don't think that that is actually him on twitter...
It doesn't seem authentic.
Especially if you read all the comments that "he" has supposedly made- the one about trusting imdb? I don't know, but I highly doubt it is him.


message 45: by [deleted user] (new)

So I know that I am really really late on this topic but I really would have loved to see Alex Pettyfer as Jace. Don't get me wrong, I love Jamie Campbell but I just think that Jace should have been just a bit more muscular. But who knows maybe he'll work out for City of Ashes.


message 46: by Addison (new)

Addison (addisonmartin) | 4 comments So Alex Pettyfer was asked to be Jace for CoA?


message 47: by [deleted user] (new)

No lol I said maybe Jamie Campbell will work out for city of ashes
