First Look: ‘Mortal Instruments’ Trailer

The Mortal Instruments City of Bones Trailer

Sony’s just debuted the first trailer for The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones and as a fan of the book series it looks like they’ve done a decent job of transitioning book one of the Cassandre Clare’s Mortal Instruments series to the screen. Of course, trailers can be deceiving, but it appears they haven’t skimped on the sets or effects.

Lily Collins is fine as Clary while Jamie Campbell Bower – not exactly a fan favorite when it came to casting the role of ‘Jace’ – handles the action well.

The cast also includes Robert Sheehan, Lena Headey, Jared Harris, Jemima West, Kevin Segers, Kevin Durand, Godfrey Gao, and Robert Maillet.

The Plot:

Set in contemporary New York City, a seemingly ordinary teenager, Clary Fray (Lily Collins), discovers she is the descendant of a line of Shadowhunters, a secret cadre of young half-angel warriors locked in an ancient battle to protect our world from demons. After the disappearance of her mother (Lena Headey), Clary must join forces with a group of Shadowhunters, who introduce her to a dangerous alternate New York called Downworld, filled with demons, warlocks, vampires, werewolves and other deadly creatures.
