    Shannon Kook as Magnus Bane! PLEASE! 

    Phoebe Tonkin as Isabelle Light wood would be perfect.

    Devon Bostick would make a nice Simon. 

  10. I’m sure you expected to hear from me since I’ve thrown my two cents in so many times. 😀

    Here is a few suggestions:

    Jace (if the rumors about JCB are true): Alexander Ludwig, Louis Hunter, Max Irons
    Simon: Nick Hoult, Logan Lerman
    Alex: Nick Hoult (yeah, he could be either – great actor), Jonatan Testa
    Isabelle: Phoebe Tonkin, Kaya Scodelario
    Magnus Bane: Shirota Yuu, Darren Criss (a favorite of Cassie’s)

    • Alexander Ludwig would be amazing! And he’s not too old. I never actually thought of him before but now he’s at the top of my list

    • i def agree with Nick Hoult as Alec….i thnk he would b perfect!!
      🙂

  11. I think that :
    Jace : Benjamin Stone, Louis Hunter
    Simon: Logan Lerman
    Izzy: Saundra Coller

  12. I think if Jace has to be recast, then I say Chad Michael Murray 🙂
    Logan Lerman would make a good Simon or maybe Skandar Keynes (too bad he plays Edmund)
    A little undecided about the rest at the moment

    Skandar Keynes would be a perfect simon.
    I like Lily Collins as Clary. She’s very cute.
    I think they should cast an unknown for Jace. And maybe get him to look just like the character???
    And Izzy has got to be someone sexy and young.

      Jamie is still Jace (though’s he is negoations. I really hope he keeps the part though. if not, maybe an unkown or austin butler, alex, or ed speelers too could be a great Jace.

    LOGAN LERMAN AS SIMON OR ALEC OR JORDAN!!!!!!

  15. Clary: Lily Collins yay 🙂
    Jace: JAMIE CAMPBELL BOWER!!!! ❤
    Simon: LOGAN LERMAN!!
    Isabelle: Kaya Scodelario or Odette Yustman!!
    Valentine: Michael Fassbender!
    Luke: Gerard Butler!

    haven't got any thoughts on the others

  16. Jace: Jamie Campbell Bower.
    Clary: Lily Collins
    Simon: Logan Lerman
    Isabelle: Meghan Ory (but she is a bit old but will be perfect)
    Alec: Nicholas Hoult
    Luke: Michael Weatherly
    🙂

  17. Jace- William Moseley!<3
    Simon/Alec- Logan Lerman:)
    Isabelle- Phoebe Tonkin:)
    Alec- Carter Jenkins:)
    Valentine- Daniel Craig:)

    I love Jamie but if he isn’t Jace then I would like Douglas Booth

  19. Is there actually a casting site for this movie?

  20. Darren Criss as Magnus! I know he’s super busy being totally awesome, but that would make my life!

  21. Benjamin Stone or Alez Pettyfer as Jace

  22. Hugh Laurie as Hodge!

  23. WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?! JACE MIGHT BE RECAST?! BUT THEN I WONT KNOW WHO IT IS FOR ANOTHER LONG TIME! WHY?!?!?!? SOMEBODY PLEASE REPLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  24. Logan Lerman is one of my favorite actors at the moment. I don’t see him being Simon, though. It might grow on me, I guess, if I keep trying to picture it. But at the moment, it just doesn’t seem like it would work.
    I guess it might be the fact that he’s not awkward even a tad bit.

    Lily Collins, I believe, is great for Clary.
    JCB for Jace is pretty good, too. I don’t think I’ll ever see anyone who resembles my idea of him, though.
    Carter Jenkins would make a good Alec. Nick Hoult would be good, too.
    Phoebe Tonkin as Isabelle, I think, is the best suggestion so far. A friend of mine says Camilla Belle would be good… but I don’t think so…
    Michael Fassbender for Luke… That’s the only one I’m sure about.
    Magnus could be played by Shirota Yuu… or I don’t know.. that one’s really hard.
    I think Devon Bostick would make a better Simon than Logan Lerman.
    I like Hugh Laurie for Hodge, but he is a little too cool for it…
    The Lightwoods would be hard to cast for… but as long as they’re intimidating looking (not scary intimidating, but high-society intimidating), I would probably be happy with it.

    I’m sure the casting people will do a good job, even if none of the people I suggest are used. I’m not a casting director, after all…

  25. I think Lucy Hale would make a good Isabelle. I hope they pick good actors and not someone who isn’t so great but has the perfect look. They can do a lot with makeup and hair!

  26. I love Odette Annable as Isabelle, she’s perfect!

    • I had to look her up as the name wasn’t familiar. She has a great look! I just realized my choice of Lucy Hale wouldn’t work because she is so short and even heels wouldn’t make her tall enough to be Isabelle!

  27. I never really casted anyone in my mind for Clary but I think that Lily Collins was an excellent choice, I imagined Alex Pettyfer to be Jace, and after watching The Secret Circle, I thought that Chris Zylka, but I believe that Jamie Campbell Bower would be a good choice (I didn’t imagine Jace to be thin though, I imagined him sturdily built). For the other characters, I imagined something along the looks of these actors
    Simon: Eugene Simon, Alex Watson, Connor Paolo
    Isabelle: Emily Blunt (She’s a little old but I think she’d be perfect for Isabelle), Olivia Wilde
    Alec: Hugo Becker, Logan Lerman (He’s been a popular sugestion)
    Magnus: Gregg Sulkin
    Valentine: Jude Law, Robert Downey Jr., Paul Bettany, Daniel Gilles
    Hodge: Hugh Laurie
    Jocelyn: Kate Walsh or Cate Blanchett (I admire both actresses and I am internally conflicted between who would do a better Jocelyn. I know that Cate Blanchett would be able to fight if it came to it, she did well when she played Elizabeth I, but Kate Walsh… I just love seeing her on Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice)
    Luke: Tom Cruise, Patrick Dempsey, Matthew Settle
    Sebastian Verlac: Ian Somerhadler, Rupert Friend, Alex Pettyfer (who I thought would of made the perfect Jace)
    Maia: Katerina Graham

  28. Maia :Bianca Lawson
    Mangus: Shannon Cook
    Isabelle: Olivia Wilde
    Off the top of my head anyone agree :)))

  29. Bianca Lawson as Maia 🙂
