““Cassie when you´ll tell us who´s playing Alec? Please i´m dying to...”
– Well, yes, you shouldn’t trust IMDB. That much is given. (It’s not too bad at the moment though Aidan and CCH Pounder aren’t listed yet. Last week Valentine was listed as being played by someone named Jolene.)
As far as Alec goes, it’s more than just IMDB: rumors are all...

Casting news: Luke
Luke — Clary’s surrogate father figure, he has a hell of a dark past despite his current mild-mannered, bookstore-owning ways. The scars he bears belie his gentle heart — but he could tear you apart with his teeth if you threatened something he cared about.
Holly has long insisted Luke is her Fictional Boyfriend, so today, Holly, you have won:
Aidan Turner.
He was terrific in Being...

Casting news: Madame Dorothea
Madame Dorothea was a lot of fun to write. She’s Clary’s downstairs neighbor and a “witch” — the kind with crystal balls and Tarot cards. Her secret is that none of that magic is at all real: it’s a cover for the powerful position she actually does hold in the secret society of Downworlders.
Our Madame Dorothea is:
CCH Pounder.
You may know her from The Shield....

Clockwork Princess snippet : Magnus
“I am not at your beck and call,” Magnus said. “I helped with de Quincey because Camille requested it of me, and Will once, because he offered me a favor in return. I am a warlock. And I do not serve Shadowhunters for free.”

Clockwork Princess snippet
Jem and Magnus won their YA Crush Tourney rounds! Today, a Jem snippet. Tomorrow, a Magnus one.
Will’s eyes met Tessa’s as she came closer, almost tripping again over the torn hem of her gown. For a moment, they were in perfect understanding. Jem was what they could still look each other straight in the eye about. On the topic of Jem, they were both fierce and unyielding. Tessa saw Will’s hand...

Casting: rumors
And yes, I know there are casting rumors swirling and you want to know whether they’re true or not. Unfortunately I can’t confirm or deny (and I was hoping to get out of this without sounding like Nixon) at the moment. Hopefully this Dark Suspense will not last too long….

Jem & Magnus Need Our Votes
Vote for the boys if you’re feeling it! It’s nice to see two characters of color up for tourney rounds (of course, they are both sexy beasts!) Whether they win or lose I’ll have snippets for you tomorrow.
mundiemoms:

Clockwork Princess snippet
Will won his YA Crush Tourney round! Awesome!
“Will!”
He turned at the familiar voice and saw Tessa. There was a small path cut along the side of the hill, lined with unfamiliar white flowers, and she was walking up it, toward him. Her long brown hair blew in the wind — she had taken off her straw bonnet, and held it in one hand, waving it at him and smiling as if she were glad to see him.
His...

As always, vote for Will if you feel the love…Will could definitely use some love! I’ll post a Will excerpt tomorrow whether he wins or not. All I can say is that if he loses, he’ll probably...

Magnus and whitewashing →
This is an old post of mine, but I thought it bore reblogging (especially now that we do have a Magnus, and he is, as I hoped and prayed and insisted, going to be played by an Asian actor. A really talented, really handsome, really awesome Asian actor.)
If you want to know why I’m reblogging this now, you can check out:

It’s an excellent tumblr to...

Alec
Okay, so call me crazy but …. I’m getting this sense… this strange, let us call it, a fifth sense (wait, we already have those) — a seventh sense perhaps that there is something you want to know?
(Given that this is a tiny fraction of my inbox!)
I love you guys, and I completely understand being frantic to know who Alec is. I didn’t realize when I started...
ladymidnights asked: Hi there! On the IMDB page for The Mortal Instruments, it lists Ben Barnes and Gaspard Ulliel as being rumored for the roles of Sebastian and Alec, respectively. Can you confirm or deny this at all?

Casting news: Hodge
Hodge is also a really complicated character. He’s not entirely bad, not entirely good. He’s a brilliant man led down a bad path a long time ago and he can’t turn back, but he does love those kids he tutored. So if you’ve seen either Mad Men or Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows (in which he was Moriarty), you know this guy, and you know he’s fantastic at moral...

Casting news: Jocelyn Fray
Jocelyn is a really fun character to write. She’s overprotective (but for a reason) and often really unyielding and unsympathetic, but she’s also a heroine who saved the world from Valentine, endured a lot of loss, and can execute some pretty badass moves. Moral ambiguity is always fun to play and who does it better than
the gorgeous and talented Lena Headey. You probably know her...

Casting News: Magnus Bane
yes it is MAGNUS!!!
So after an exhaustive search during which many, many hot Asian men were considered by the casting director (her job, so painful), the director, and the seventy-odd other dudes who have to sign off on this kind of thing, I can confidently tell you that our Magnus may be …
THE HOTTEST MAN IN THE WORLD.
Which is only fitting for Magnus, of course.
Our Magnus is:

brokenrosethorns asked: Hi cassie! First of all I'm a huge fan. I love all of your books and I can't wait for the movie to come out. Is it bothering you that some people, especially those who has not read the series and will watch the movie, to not understand the whole concept and just make a big deal out of the whole incest issue? I mean some parents are gonna watch, and some may view the whole story as really...

I did say I was saving this one for a boring day! I see I got scooped. :)

Cassandra Clare stated at an event in Rhinebeck that the chemistry between Robert and Jamie was great, and that they had known each other for quite some time.
Apparently the guys are on “pranking terms”.

Our boy Simon is up for the YA Crush Tourney today. As always — vote for him if you’re feeling the love! Either way, here’s a deleted scene from City of Lost Souls with Simon and Jordan and Isabelle in it.
I’m in.
Clary’s words rang in Simon’s head, clear as a bell, the moment he opened his eyes. He was lying in the bed in Magnus’ spare room, sheets thrown off, barefoot; Isabelle was...

Also, not too long ago you reblogged our nerdy TMI postcard and we wanted to thank you because you basically made our lives with it! And, please stop breaking our...

TMI SOURCE: Vote for Alec in the #YACrushTourney! →
Aw! Alec is up for the YA Crush Tourney. It would be nice to see a gay character advance into the later rounds!
So, as always, vote for Alec if you’re feelin’ it. You can vote here.
Either way, in honor of his candidacy, I’m posting the scene from the original draft of City of Glass in which Jace kisses Alec to get him to come to his senses about Magnus. It wound up being...

Robbie/Simon casting stuff
*blinks up* *blinks down*
I haven’t run across much negativity. Robbie’s probably the best-received piece of casting we’ve had. I guess what I would say is that first, there’s always an adjustment period, when you adjust your mental image of the character (and everyone’s mental image of a character is different) to encompass what a cast actor looks like. It...
