Cassandra Clare meet & greet i Brasilien om filmplanerna för Stad av Aska
Hon sa följande om COA:
They’re re-writing, well, after the first mortal instruments movie came out, they got a lot of people complaining it wasn’t like the books. And so, they had a second screenplay for City of Ashes and it was even less like the books, like it was NOTHING, NOTHING like the books… Valentine had a submarine? And Magnus ran for Mayor of New York. It was very weird.
So, they kinda looked at the screenplay and they looked at the fan response and they were like “We can’t do this, we have to throw the screenplay away and do a completely new screenplay that’s more like the books”. So that’s what they’ve been working on, it’s complicated coz usually if you’re doing a series of movies, you have the screenplay ready by the time the first movie has come out, you have the screenplay for the second movie so you can go right into filming it, and they didn’t have one. Takes a year to do a screenplay so I was hoping the next couple of weeks I would get to see the new screenplay for City of Ashes.
What do you think about a TV Series?
I would love it if they did a TV series. We talked about that. It’s hard because the first ones a movie so it’s a little difficult but it’s not like it’s never been done before, like Teen Wolf. It was once a movie and then they expanded it out so I would love for them to do something like that and if they can’t find a screenplay that they like, I think they might do that. Sony, who did the movie, they have a TV Department and so they would be really interested in doing that.
