Based on Cassandra Clare's series of Young Adult fantasy, The Mortal Instruments is poised to fill the hole left by Twilight after the the final installment is released tomorrow. The books, which have received a glowing endorsement from Twilight author Stephanie Meyer, cover pretty much the same themes (forbidden love, the supernatural hidden in the real world etc), and judging from the trailer below, the movie will reflect that.
Lily Collins stars as Clary, who is drawn into the demon vanquishing world of the Shadowhunters, half-angel warriors, after her mother is kidnapped. The film also stars Lena Heady, Jonathon Rhys-Meyers, Robert Sheenan, Jared Harris, and Jamie Campbell Bower.
Released: 23rd August 2013
