Mortal Instruments Fan of the Month: December



 Introducing: Lara Helmer
                                        Month of: DECEMBER
                                             Mini Showcase: 


 Lara has written her own mini Bane Chronicle based on her city. She plans to write more mini Bane Chronicles because, as she states, "There's still at least 700 years of Magnus' life left uncovered, even after TMI, TID, and TBC." Below is an excerpt of her Bane Chronicle:
"At a time that turned out to be crucial to his future path, Magnus ended up in Tanzania, however, the question becomes: why was Magnus in Tanzania in the first place?"
Read more on her Wattpad HERE!  

Lara was in a cosplay parade for the Calgary Comic Con & Entertainment Expo. before there were any temporary tattoos out to use as runes, and before there was a Hot Topic Mortal Instruments line. Lena Headey was at the Expo., motivating Lara to specifically dress up as Jocelyn Fray. Plus, how many shadowhunters took photos with Star Wars bounty hunters, or Iron Man? View these awesome photos below! 




Lara had started a fan site for Jamie Campbell Bower! She is still working on it and says that "there's a bit of an associated twitter and tumblr. I'm struggling with getting it going because I want it to be a site that Jamie would be cool with and he has such strong views on judging others, gossip, paparazzi, privacy invasion etcetera.  It's a challenge to think of what I could put up that he hasn't put up himself that he would be happy to see online." -We're sure your fan site will make JCB happy! 

Check out her fan site Bower Power, also on TUMBLR and TWITTER!

Fan of the Month Fun Facts:
Name: Lara

Age: 32

From: Calgary, Canada

Favorite TMI Book: City of Glass (As happy an ending as we get in the series)

Favorite Character: Magnus because he's got so much depth to him.  We see so many sides, so many aspects of him but there's always more.  The Bane Chronicles have been fantastic for showing more but there's still so much mystery - probably 800 years worth.

Favorite Quote: "He leaned against the door frame, ignoring the kick of adrenaline the sight of her produced. He wondered why, not for the first time. Isabelle used her beauty like she used her whip, but Clary didn't know she was beautiful at all."  -City of Bones 

Favorite Fan Moment: On Canada's Inner Space hour special on the Space Channel for the TMI Movie, my question was one of three asked to Jamie, Lily and Kevin.  That was pretty exciting for me because while we don't have the mall tours in Canada and I'm the opposite side of the country from Toronto, I got to in a way be the focus of the cast for a moment.

Jamie Campbell Bower Stuns in Burberry Campaign Photos


Since filming for City of Ashes has been postponed till sometime next year, Jamie Campbell Bower who plays the fierce Jace Wayland in 'City of Bones' hasn't been sitting idle. He's been out causing a stir in the fashion world, not only making a name for himself in acting but also modeling. Daily Mail shared that Burberry has chosen Bower as one of the gorgeous faces to represent Burberry's new Spring/Summer 2014 ad campaign.



Jamie Campbell Bower manages to pull off messy hair, couture clothing, all while sporting a nose ring and still looking incredible. He makes both modeling and acting look effortless. Let's not forget about that killer smile!


Check out this behind the scenes video of Burberry's photoshoot below:


It's fantastic to see Jamie recognized for his angelic good-looks and his numerous talents. While he's off impressing the world we're all patiently waiting for him to return to TMI. Like his own life, Jace still has a story to tell!

Which ad shot is your favorite? Comment below to share your thoughts!

Cassandra Clare Talks 'City of Ashes' Film


Cassandra Clare spoke with MTV News about the upcoming Mortal Instruments sequel saying that she's ready for it. City of Bones fans have been patiently waiting for more news on the second installment which is set to film sometime in 2014 and we finally have some! Cassandra Clare dishes that the next movie "ratchets up the stakes". An obvious play on words for what's to come.

**WARNING *SPOILERS* READ NO FURTHER IF YOU HAVEN'T READ CITY OF ASHES!**


"Simon (Robert Sheehan) is turned into a vampire," Clare teases, "And he goes from being this human who's Clary's friend to this ravenous undead thing." Cassandra says that casting Robert Sheehan for the role was always the plan, "Robbie was actually my idea," she says. "I saw him in 'Misfits,' which is a big comedy hit in Britain, and he's just so good and yet also able to be heartbreaking and I thought he'll be great and he will enjoy the hell out of being a vampire."

MTV asked what fans can expect from City of Ashes, and although the 'Mortal Instruments' author couldn't say a lot, she told them Sigourney Weaver joining the series as the Inquisitor is what fans will enjoy. That the character is, "This badass, scary lady". Clare also talks about the scene she can't wait to see play out onscreen which is a huge battle that takes place on the deck of a warship. If you've read the books you know the one!

She also shares her thoughts concerning the first film and her reaction upon seeing her series come to life. She describes it as a "bizarre" experience adding, "Even though in the movie they're very different from the way they are in the books, there were moments where I sort of jumped because a certain prop or a certain thing was as I imagined it in my head."

Though City of Ashes hasn't begun filming yet this interview gives us reassurance that everything's on schedule to move forward soon. Since Cassie talks about Simon's character, which moment from the novel with him in it are you dying to see happen in the COA film? Comment below or tweet us @TMI_Institute!

Mortal Instruments Fan of the Month: November



Introducing:  Hayley Hemming  
Month of: NOVEMBER 









Mini Showcase: 

Hayley was originally going to draw something, but for the sake of time she created a few Mortal Instruments collages:





Hayley dressed up as a Shadowhunter: 


Heart by Heart is a song by Demi Lovato that is in soundtrack for The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones. "This song describes Jace and Clary perfectly and I cannot stop listening to it. The lyrics and tune are haunting and it takes you straight into the heart of City of Bones." - Hayley Hemming. 

When your soul finds the soul it was waiting for
When someone walks into your heart through an open door
When your hand finds the hand it was meant to hold
Don't let go
Someone comes into your world
Suddenly your world has changed forever

No there's no one else's eyes
That could see into me
No one else's arms can lift
Lift me up so high
Your love lifts me out of time
And you know my heart by heart

When you're one with the one you were meant to be find
Everything falls in place, all the stars align
When you're touched by the cloud that has touched your soul
Don't let go
Someone comes into your life
It's like they've been in your life forever

No there's no one else's eyes
That could see into me
No one else's arms can lift
Lift me up so high
Your love lifts me out of time
And you know my heart by heart

So now we've found our way to find each other
So now I found my way, to you

No there's no one else's eyes
That could see into me

No there's no one else's eyes
That could see into me
No one else's arms can lift
Lift me up so high
Your love lifts me out of time
And you know my heart by heart

And you know my heart by heart

And you know my heart by heart

And you know my heart by heart

Fan of the Month Fun Facts:

Name: Hayley Hemming

Age: 23

Where you're from: Droitwich Spa, England

Favorite book:  My favorite book of the series has to be City of Glass :) for totally obvious reasons. Its got action, romance and the ending... well... PERFECT!

Favorite character and why: I love them all but after thinking I'd have to say Jace. He's currently one of the best shadowhunters around and I like how his past was shrouded in mystery. I love his cocky attitude, saracastic ways and the way he acts to Clary is just hot haha. He loves her and because of it she gets put on this pedastool even though she can totally handle herself. I love how Jace's attitude was "To love is to destroy" but yet when he meets Clary his whole personality changes. He's the guy you have to love. Even though Valentine was bad towards him Jace still loves him and it goes to show what a better person he is. And of course he's a Herondale :) And we all know how much I LOVE WILL HERONDALE :)

Favorite quote: “Do you remember back at the hotel when you promised that if we lived, you’d get dressed up in a nurse’s outfit and give me a sponge bath?" asked Jace.
"It was Simon who promised you the sponge bath."
"As soon as I’m back on my feet, handsome," said Simon.
"I knew we should have left you a rat.” - City of Bones
Favorite fan moment: I haven't met the cast yet :'( but thinking back to my fav fan moment.. Not only when I heard they were making City of Bones into a movie but I practically screamed and jumped for joy when I found out they were making City of Ashes :)

"Back to the drawing board," say EP Moszkowicz on 'City of Ashes' project

Variety reports no director connected to TMI sequel at this time

TMI Director Harald Zwart at the Toronto premiere
Yesterday, Shadowhunters worldwide breathed a collective sigh of relief when The Hollywood Reporter shared news from Martin Moszkowicz, executive producer of The Mortal Instruments, that the sequel, City of Ashes, would start filming in 2014. Now, Variety has an exclusive of their own.

At this time, executives at Constantin are working to fix all the mistakes they felt were made in the first film. City of Ashes production came to a screeching halt amid tepid ticket sales, causing Hollywood insiders and fans alike to wonder if the follow up film would even be made. The first real surprise in this new article is that Harald Zwart is not connected to the sequel at the moment, but they are in talks with him. 

”We are talking to him and others. At the moment there is no director attached,” Moszkowicz said. ”It also depends on his professional availability of course.”

Even though there may be many changes coming, the one fact holds true. Moszkowicz believes in the work of TMI author, Cassandra Clare. “We believe strongly in her and the world that she has brought to the readers, but we feel that the movie obviously under-performed. Something was wrong there, and we are trying to make it right the next time,” Moszkowicz said.

Changes to the marketing strategy are in the cards, including the target demo. “Maybe we have targeted too young an audience,” he said. “They are very outspoken, especially in the social media world; they are extremely active. But the readers of the books are from 14 to 34 — that’s the main age group — and maybe some of them had issues with how it was marketed. We need to go behind that, and find out exactly what it was.

“It is an ongoing discussion that we are having, and it is not done. We haven’t made a final decision. But we will only move forward — and we plan to move forward — when we feel we are going to get it right,” Moszkowicz said.

Although the intention is to shoot the film sometime next year, it is not carved in stone.

“That is the plan, but it is not a given,” Moszkowicz said. “We believe in that franchise, and we would like to do that, but we need to get it right.”

What do you think of this latest revelation? Would you like to see Harald Zwart return as director or do you have someone else in mind to take the project? Share your thoughts below.

MOVIE NEWS: Production for CITY OF ASHES starts in 2014

The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones Bower Sword - H 2013
BIG NEWS, SHADOWHUNTERS!!! Constantin is moving forward with Cassandra Clare’s best-selling Mortal Instruments franchise and plans to restart production on the second film in the series, The Mortal Instruments: City of Ashes, next year.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Martin Moszkowicz, Constantin Film’s head of film and TV, said Clare’s massive fan base has responded positively to the adaptation and that Constantin is determined to continue the franchise.  City of Bones, starring Lily Collins and Jamie Campbell Bower, opened to $14 million over its first five-day weekend and grossed about $31 million domestically for Sony/Screen Gems.City of Bones, which was also critically panned, had a reported $60 million budget, with Sony putting up an estimated $60 million more to promote the film's release.
"The fan response, from the blogosphere and the thousands of mails we have received, has encouraged us to keep going,” Moszkowicz told The Hollywood Reporter. “It's been overwhelmingly positive, in contrast to some other YA titles.”
Moszkowicz said international returns for City of Bones means the first film’s worldwide take is now close to $100 million but admits box office revenue was below Constantin’s forecasts.
“We are analyzing what we did wrong with the first film, particularly with the positioning and marketing, and what changes we have to make. We are working with a great group of people to reposition the franchise (for City of Ashes).”
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Moszkowicz suggested one reason for City of Bones’ misfire may have been a marketing campaign that was too narrowly focused on teenage fans, to the detriment of Clare’s twenty- and thirtysomething readers. (INSTITUTE SAYS .... AMEN TO THAT!) 
“The readers of Mortal Instruments are older than you might think,” he said. “That may have been one issue in our marketing, that we focused too much on a very young audience segment."

Mortal Instruments Fan of the Month: October

                   Introducing:              
Month of:  OCTOBER        

Mini Showcase:

The Silence is Loud is one of many original songs inspired by the TMI series, by Selena Thor:

There in the silence, is where I'd like to stay
holding your hand, but you feel so far away
those gold eyes of yours, as they stare back at me
holds the pieces of your heart, the only ones I see

'Cause, I will not run, but I will not stay
I fought for your freedom, only to get it his way
The darkness inside you scares the death of me
'Cause the silence is loud enough
to hear the shadows screaming

There in the darkness, you lay next to me
My blood runs cold 'cause, I know you can't see
that these hands of mine, feel so empty
without your love I'll, fall away so quickly

'Cause, I will not run, but I will not stay
I fought for your freedom, only to get it his way
The darkness inside you scares the death of me
'Cause the silence is loud enough
to hear the shadows screaming

Wait for me as I run
Wait for the love
The other side of the rive
holds paradise
so come undone

'Cause, you don't wanna run, you just wanna stay
He's got your mind controlled like a puppet on a string
come back to me now, come back to planet earth
'cause a burden is rising in me
as the world burns

'Cause, I will not run, but I will not stay
I fought for your freedom, only to get it his way
The darkness inside you scares the death of me
'Cause the silence is loud enough
to hear the shadows screaming

credits

Fan of the Month Fun Facts: 
Name: Selena Thor
Age: 15
Where you're from: Wisconsin, United States
Favorite book: Out of the Cassandra Clare books, it's a tie between Clockwork Princess and City of Glass. They're both so amazing!
Favorite character and why: I really love Isabelle Lightwood. She's so confident and fierce, but also takes things to her attention and genuinely cares about the people around her. 
Favorite quote: "Blood isn't love" 
Favorite fan moment: I live in the middle of nowhere, so it's pretty hard to find people who read the books. But there was this one time where I went to a sandwich shop downtown, and there was this girl who was taking my order. I saw she had a tattoo on her forearm and I asked what it was. She showed me it, and it was one of The Mortal Instruments' quotes! It was so cool, we just started fangirling the entire time. It was so funny, but so awesome at the same time!

Fan of the Month Social Media:





 We hope you enjoyed meeting October's Mortal Instruments fan of the month! The Mortal Instruments have brought people together of all ages from all around the world, and we are hoping to make a few introductions that will lead into a lasting fandom family. Say hi to Selena in the comments below!
