I actually read about it this morning. It's crazy that the movie bombed. The MI series has sold over 35 million books and the movie was a flop. Divergent only sold 13-15 million books but, made almost $300 million at the box office. I can't even begin to explain that one :patrice: The fan base is 20x bigger than TVD was before it became a show, so a Mortal Instruments show could work. I'm reading COHF now and :whew: this has to be translated to some type of screen.

The "Divergent" movie is WAY BETTER than The Mortal Instrument movie though.

:yeshrug: Lily Collins, Lena Headey, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Jamie Campbell Bower, Jared Harris, & etc were notable names in the movie.


Full cast:

:ohhh: Real talk, They had a good cast for this movie. The direction and/or writing just wasn't right.

@winb83 @Malik

I thought TMI would work as a movie but I couldn't even make it 30 minutes into it. I definitely don't think it'll work as a TV show. Something I guess it's either read them or nothing.
