‘City of Bones’ starts filming in 75 days
In less than three months, Lily Collins, Jamie Campbell Bower and a group of yet-to-be-named actors will head to Toronto to begin filming on the highly-anticipated adaptation of ‘The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones.’
The countdown has reached 75 days and there is still a lot of news coming before the movie starts shooting, including those yet-to-be-named actors for the remaining roles.
There are numerous casting rumors for several key roles, including Simon, Magnus and Isabelle, as well as news from Cassandra Clare about chemistry reads.
Last week, Lily Collins had screen tests with potential Simons and this week she will read with potential Magnus actors.
Chemistry reads are usually one of the final steps before a casting director makes their final decision, so casting news could happen at any time.
What are you most looking forward to as the film-making process gets underway? Sound off in the comments!


I hope that Shannon Kook would get the Magnus role. Me and my friends are totally rooting for him! :]
I really hope Shannon Kook will play Magnus and Phoebe Tonkin will play Izzy (IF she auditioned of course) – it would be perfect :’)
i cant wait to see who will play Simon… i like that girl that is rumored to be Isabelle on imdb and Shannon Kook for Magnus.
OMYGOD ! I can’t even assdfghjkl! My emotions!!!!!
WAY TOO EXCITED!! AHHH!!! Really wanting Shannon as Magnus and Phoebe as Isabelle and Logan Lerman as Simon 🙂

I hope Shannon Kook will play Magnus!
Oh and i think no one seems to care about who’s playing Alec that much…
Hmm….
I’m looking forward to seeing who will play Alec!! I keep hearing rumours about a few British actors, but I can never be sure what is and isn’t complete cobbler!
Just glad Jamie is cast as Jace, wow a whole year, can’t wait!
