The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones Casting

SO... Lilly Collins have been casted as Clary Fray. AND... it's been like a torture to TMI fans as who Screen Gems will cast as Jace Wayland. Last May 31, 2011 (or June 1, here in the PH),  Jamie Campbell Bower have been casted as Jace. 

Of course, many fans of the book reacted. Most of the fans wanted Alex Pettyfer to be Jace. He's like the top choice but according to articles I read, he declined. Then there's the "TOP THREE" contenders: Ed Speelers (Eragon), Leebo Freeman and Jamie Campbell Bower. A lot of fans also wanted Max Irons and lately, posting a photo of him in his "Jace get down", is Ben Stone.

I wasn't there when the book of City Of Bones and the TMI novels started. I was really pretty busy those years what with the licensure examinations review and all. And just this summer, I started reading books because I was so bored of getting on line on my social networking accounts everyday and nothing happens. I, then, started reading the Fallen novels by Lauren Kate and after that, I was curious about this 'The Mortal Instruments' novels so I bought them. And I loved it. And from there, I knew what the hype was all about. It's like the new generation of Harry Potter. Fans are very passionate about it especially that it's going to be made into a movie. They wanted it to be perfect and I'm one of the 'they' btw. :)

So going back, I became... passionate in this YA novels I read particularly TMI. I, personally, wanted Alex Pettyfer to be Jace Wayland. He's perfect for the role. But then, as I've said, he declined. So, the next actor I wanted to play as Jace was Ed Speelers. I really couldn't see Leebo Freeman as him. Neither Jamie Campbell Bower, but he was my next choice after Ed Speelers. Then, Ben Stone.

But things happen and not according to how we wanted it to be. Jamie Campbell Bower was casted as Jace. To be honest, my heart sank when I found out. My Tumblr dash was all about him as Jace. I was in denial at first. And I wanted to rebel against Screen Gems for doing that but what will my rebellion do? Then I started to calm down and read Cassie Clare's tweets and said that JCB (Jamie Campbell Bower) was the perfect Jace. She saw JCB's audition and she said that it was 'unfuckingbelievable.' And with that, I felt okay with it. I have nothing against JCB. I don't hate him. I like him. But y'know, I just wanted what I want and it's just really upsetting if you didn't get what you want. So in the end, I was able to finally accept JCB as Jace. He's a good actor and I know he can pull it through. He just needs to have that heavenly body of Jace  and I think he'll be great.

The 2 main characters have been casted already. Things are going to be... I guess pretty fast from now on. Casting Jace was like a long journey for the pre-production of this film. I can not wait for the other characters to be casted. 

P.S.

Alex Pettyfer will always be my Jace. And I ain't mad that he turned down the role.

My Alex

I am in love.

Alex Pettyfer is love! ♥

I've never been more interested in him until now. I didn't know that he was Emma Roberts' love interest in the film Wild Child. AND I've watched that.*sigh* BUT.. I know that it was him on the film I Am Number Four. I've watched that with my mom and I had a slight crush on him then. LMAO!

Recently, I've been obsessed with books and I am currently reading the third book of The Mortal Instruments, the City of Glass. When I finished The first book of that series (City of Bones), I researched on it and found out that it's going to be a film... and they're still on the look out for an actor who will play as my (love) Jace Wayland. And I found Alex's name connected on it. I found out that he's been offered the role but he didn't say (yet) if he's going to accept it. Honestly, I think he should. HE'S the real-life Jace Wayland. He just fits the role. Whenever I read The Mortal Instruments and Jace is in the scene, Alex immediately pops into my mind. HE'S MY JACE. :) And I'm sure he's everyone's Jace too.

Also, I read Fallen novels and it's going to be a movie too! The fans of that novel (mostly) wants him as Daniel Grigori. Personally, Alex is also my choice for that role. Alex has the look of an angel. He's an angel. :)

Okay. Enough about Jace and Daniel. This is about Alex. :D I did some research and I found out that he's just a year younger than me and that HE'S BRITISH! *Squeals* I LOVE BRITISH BOYS!!! I was curious on how he sounds when he speak so I youtube'd him and I found first his guesting on Ellen. Man! He sound so lovely! I melted when I saw him and on that suit and swooned when he spoke. Then Ellen found a way for him to  take his shirt off. She had this I ♥ ellen T-shirt and in the (almost) end part of the interview, he took off his coat and shirt (Ellen helped him too! RAWR!) and there... I DIED. :D He's all the definition of sexy, hot, smokin' etc., etc..

And since then, I am just so in love with him. I did some more research and found out that he was a Burberry model, too. He look so beautiful there.. Well.. HE IS beautiful even if he's not modeling. Just him. I mean.. Alex is just.. incredibly magnificent! If I am just being myself when I talk to my friends, I think they'll be so annoyed with me because for sure, I will talk about Alex... over and over again. haha! Seriously, he's my celebrity boyfriend now. ROFLMAO! And I plan on watching all of his films. :D 

Here are some of his photos as a model of Burberry.

And here are some of his photos (not Burberry related).

There goes my (celebrity) boyfriend. (LMAO!) ♥

He's my Jace Wayland, my choice of Daniel Grigori but... he's my Alex. :D ♥
