Cassandra Clare talks the road to ‘THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS’ movie with MTV
MTV released another — perhaps the final — video from their visit to the set of The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones last year. Author Cassandra Clare talks about the road that led to The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones movie, the surrealism of it all and the moment where she truly felt she had stepped into her world.

What word would Clare use to describe the whole experience?
“‘Surreal’ is the word,” the author told MTV News’ Josh Horowitz while on the Toronto-based set of the urban fantasy. “My husband says it’s like being at Disneyland where all of the rides are based on my book. It has gone through a long process.”
Clare talked about the first moment she truly felt she had stepped into her world.
“We were shooting in the subway, and they had closed off part of the subway for shooting, and I walked down the stairs to get to the set, and I saw Kevin Zegers in his full costume with runes and everything. And all the commuters were passing him by like they didn’t see him. And I just thought, ‘Oh my god. It’s like we’re in my book! He’s here. He’s invisible. It’s like I’ve walked into a page of my book.’ It was amazing.”
Lily Collins (Clary) said it was amazing having Clare on set.
“She’s so lovely,” Collins enthused of Clare. “She’s been here for a couple weeks just to take it all in. Just to have her support on this is so amazing. We’re really lucky to have her on set. Just to see her smiling and be part of this process. Especially for her, this is huge. To have something you’ve created brought to the screen and have people so passionate behind it. It must be an absolute dream for her.”
