Reelz Channel recently sat down for a video interview with Cassie. Prior to the interview, they took a bunch of questions from fans. It’s pretty informative, so you should check it out! She talks about the screenplay, Alex Pettyfer, and how she feels confident that the movie is in good hands! And don’t forget to check back on Monday for the winner of the Blatantly Too Old Casting Contest and look for the new Movie Monday blog!

And now that you’ve seen it, how are you feeling about the movie? Better, now that you know most of the important things remain in tact? Let us know in the comments!

Alright, everyone. We are all anxious about the imminent casting of a certain Jace Wayland Morgenstern Lightwood. The other characters also need to be cast, but more faces seem to pop up for Jace than any other character. And, of course, this attention is well-deserved because Jace is… well… hot. People like to play Which Hot Actor Should Play Jace Today?, Cassie included.

These are some of the lovely young men who are being pegged by fans as our favorite golden boy:

An attractive group of young men, yes/yes? We all know that Alex Pettyfer (number four, harhar) has been offered the role. Unfortunately for Pettyfer enthusiasts, he hasn’t accepted yet. He recently had a phone conversation with Cassie, but who knows what happened there.

I started thinking: Will we ever have our perfect Jace?

And then I was watching Robin Hood: Men in Tights while pondering this very question and, fans, I found him! Of course, he’s currently 48 years old, so here’s my simple solution: A time machine.

There are a lot of actors who are blatantly too old to play Jace. There are a lot of actors who are too old for a lot of parts. But if we could get a time machine, we could totally cast Cary Elwes as Jace. Take this scene, for example. Cary has mastered the art of badassery. And over here, we have Cary as both the romantic lead and King of Snark. So if anyone has a time machine, we’ll just go back to the 80′s, swipe Mr. Elwes from the set of Another Country (and while we’re there, let’s also swipe a certain Mr. Colin Firth) and tell him we’ve got the perfect role for him.

At least, he’s my Blatantly Too Old pick for Jace. Who is yours? Let’s have a little contest to make it even more fun. There’s a bookmark in it (courtesy of Viviane Hebel) for someone who leaves a comment below with a Too-Old pick for Jace. I’ll choose a winner randomly on April 18.

Remember: They weren’t always too old.

First, I’d like to thank everyone who participated in Mundie Source’s Twitter party last night. We didn’t have enough people to trend #COFA, but we had fun! There were some prizes (including a signed copy of CoFA, which was harder to give away than I thought it’d be!) and some post cards. But there’s more to come, so stay tuned for that!

Second, here’s a quick review for anyone who hasn’t started or finished the book yet: OH. MY. GOD.

And now, if you click below, it will take you to my spoilery review of City of Fallen Angels. I invite everyone who has finished the book to comment with your thoughts. Start a discussion! Let’s let it all out, shall we?

If you haven’t finished, don’t fret! You’ve got time. I’m just crazy. Any spoilers will remain solely in this thread. I won’t be updating the site with them or posting about them on Twitter for at least a month. Though you really should get reading, since I’ll also be posting an interview with Cassie about CoFA sometime in the near future!
