THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS: CITY OF BONES hits theaters in 5 months

We are now just five months away from the release of The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, and there is plenty of excitement on the way leading up to its Aug. 23 release. In exactly one week, Cassandra Clare, Harald Zwart, Lily Collins, Jamie Campbell Bower and Kevin Zegers will be at WonderCon in Anaheim, Calif. on March 30, for a Mortal Instruments: City of Bones panel. The panel, which will be held in the Arena at 2:30 p.m. PDT, will consist of the presentation of the new theatrical trailer and movie poster, as well as a Q & A with the cast, director and author. Both the theatrical trailer and movie poster will be unveiled online shortly after. While we count down to the new trailer, let's give the teaser trailer a re-watch:

Cassie confirmed at her Clockwork Princess signing on March 22 that The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones will indeed be at Comic-Con International, which runs from July 18-21 in San Diego, Calif.
