Deadline reports: Jamie Campbell Bower gets role of Jace in 'Mortal Instruments'

Jamie Campbell Bower, Twilight Volturi Caius has just been announced to be playing lead male role in the movie or movies 'Mortal Instruments.'

From Deadline EXCLUSIVE: Screen Gems has made its choice: Jamie Campbell Bower will get the male lead in The Mortal Instruments, the Scott Charles Stewart-directed adaptation of the Cassandra Clare novel series. He'll play Jace Wayland, starring alongside Lily Collins, who'll play the lead heroine Clary Fray. She has The Sight, and can see both demons and Shadowhunters. Jace is one of the best of the latter.

'Immortal Instruments' is another YA novel series that is very good. I fully recommend putting it on your reading list.

Comment by Mrs. Fire/Ice on May 31, 2011 at 11:31am: Awesome series of books.. don't know if I like him cast for that part.....

Comment by DhampirGurl on May 31, 2011 at 11:42am: Um... It's the Mortal Instruments, actually.

and yeah, I agree with @Mrs.Fire/Ice. I really thought Alex would have been the better choice.

Comment by Agota on May 31, 2011 at 12:52pm: Well, he's sooo not Jace!... Not by appearance, not by attributes... Nada!

That's the way to screw a bestseller book on screen.

My second disappointment, after HG movie lead roles :(

Comment by Stef on May 31, 2011 at 1:49pm: OMG, Please, tell me it's a lie. He is soo not Jace!

Comment by Tanja Santaoja on May 31, 2011 at 2:11pm: He`s not my fave for playing Jace, not at all! Sorry, Jamie! The Mortal Instruments series are the first books (after Twilight!) that i just absolutely love!!

Comment by rob lover on May 31, 2011 at 2:15pm: can we have a petition for Jamie not playing Jace. Seems we're all in agreement he is'nt Jace!!

Comment by Jay Velazquez on May 31, 2011 at 3:36pm: WHAT!? Jamie is a cool guy and good actor but he def. isn't a Jace, I pictured him more like a Magnus!
