Change your calenders! Sony Pictures has bought forward the release date for this years much anticipated movie, The Mortal Instruments – City of Bones. The movie will now be released on August 21st as opposed to the original date of August 23rd.

The Mortal Instruments – City of Bones is a movie adaption of the Cassandra Clare novel of the same name. The movie is due for release on August 23, 2013 and follows the life of a seemingly ordinary girl, Clary Fray. When Clary enters a nightclub and witnesses a murder, her whole life is turned upside down when she learns that she is a descendant of a line of Shadowhunters, a secret cadre of young half-angel warriors locked in an ancient battle to protect our world from demons.

Over the last couple of weeks we have seen the release of character posters, each with their own “Instrument” description. To date we’ve had Valentine (an Instrument of Evil) and Simon (an Instrument of Good), today we get Magnus Bane – An Instrument of Chaos. Take a look at the new poster below:

Also released by SugarScape is this new still from the movie showing Robert Sheehan as Simon.

A new character poster has been released for the upcoming Mortal Instruments – City of Bones movie. This one features the gorgeous Jonathan Rhys-Meyers as Valentine with the caption “An Instrument of Evil”. The Mortal Instruments will hit cinemas on August 23rd.

Fabulous news for TMI fans! Even though the first movie, City of Bones, has yet to be released, Deadline has reported that buyers will get a taste for its sequel during Cannes. Stars Lily Collins and Jamie Campbell Bower are returning for part two, The Mortal Instruments: City Of Ashes, as is director Harald Zwart, and a fall start is planned. As it did with the first, Mister Smith Entertainment is selling the adaptation of the second book in Cassandra Clare’s fantasy series that’s produced by Constantin Film and Unique Features.

The sequel picks up in New York’s Downworld, where Clary is overwhelmed with the responsibility of her new role as a Shadowrunner. Her mother is still in a magically induced coma, her newfound father is an evil Shadowhunter rebel, and things are more than complicated with Jace, the boy she loves. But she still must pitch in to help save the world. Robert Kulzer is producing for Constantin alongside Don Carmody. Executive producers are Bob Shaye and Michael Lynne for Unique, and Martin Moszkowicz for Constantin.

Lets hope that this also means we’ll get the rest of the series as well!
