MOVIE NEWS: "The Mortal Instruments" Movie Finds Its Isabelle!

On Tuesday night, Cassandra Clare, author of the best selling series The Mortal Instruments, announced that they had found their Isabelle!

Jemima West is the lastest actor to join The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones cast. The 24-year-old will portray Isabelle Lightwood; a tough and tenacious demon killer who is described as tall and gorgeous with long, inky black hair

This is what Clare had to say about Jemima.

Jemima West. She’s beautiful (like whoa) and really talented. You can see her as Vittoria on The Borgias right now. And before anyone freaks out that she is blonde, she’ll be dying her hair for the role. She had a lot of Izzy’s toughness and directness in her audition. I like her.

In addition to that, Clare had the chance to watch Jemima’s audition and was impressed.

Really good! She did a scene with Clary, but she also did the scene where she talks about Alec being gay — “I love my brother, I’d do anything for him, but I can’t help him with this” and was lovely and passionate. I was like, That’s damn right, you love your brother! He’s a good guy! She convinced me.

Clare also addressed some character trait concerns, including hair color and contact.

She will surely dye her hair. Contacts probably, but some people/actors can’t wear them (Daniel Radcliffe never could, that’s why Harry always had blue-green eyes, allergies I think) so I cannot make promises about stuff that is basically “the costume department’s decision down the road in connection with the actor’s physical limitations.” I am assured they will do everything they can to make the actors fit the physical descriptions in the book, where appropriate.

 What do you think of the Isabelle Lightwood? (:

As you guys know, City of Lost Souls is the fifth installment to The Mortal Instruments series. It is going to be released on May 8th, 2012. As before, City of Fallen Angels had many different versions of it, including special contents from the characters, just like Clockwork Prince did. City of Lost Souls will do the same.

Here are the current released versions of City of Lost Souls that are going to be released:

In the United States

Barnes and Noble: Contains a letter from Stephen Herondale (Jace’s real father) to Jace, which was written before he died. Much like Jace's letter to Clary that came with City of Fallen Angels, it will be affixed to the back of the book and detachable.
