‘The Infernal Devices: Clockwork Angel’

The Infernal Devices were optioned by Unique Pictures, the same studio that optioned the right for The Mortal Instruments.

Cassandra Clare on future of The Infernal Devices movies:

Now would I like to see TiD become movies? Totally! I love historical dramas! I love the costumes and I love the settings and boys in Victorian outfits, well. *gets a fan from the period and fans tumblr* And the clockwork creatures look so cool in my mind, I’d love to see them onscreen.

The Infernal Devices is optioned by the same people who optioned Mortal Instruments, Constantin Films, and they’ve done period work before (The Three Musketeers, Perfume) so I am sure they could do a good job. They are completely focused on City of Bones right now and that is understandable. It takes huge focus and effort to get a movie made.

If the Mortal Instruments movie makes it safely through production (yeah, I’m a born pessimist, I’m always sure something is going to go wrong) and if it does well, then yes, that would increase the chances of TiD being made. But to me that’s like “If you won the lottery what would you spend it on?”
