UK Mortal Instruments Fan event 8/19/13


Hello guys Casey here, Mundie Mom's UK correspondent. Hope all is well in your Mortal Instrument world THE FILM IS FINALLY OUT TODAY! Whos seen it? I am here today to talk to you guys about the UK Fan event Entertainment One held with Jamie, Robert, Lily and Harold, at the apple store in London. It was an awesome event and a lot of fans got there really early in the morning which is DEDICATION. We are the best fandom in the world.

So enough of me talking. Lets get down to the cast. We were not aloud to film in there unfortunately. But I had a pen and paper and wrote like a crazy person. Robbie talked about the craziness of the tour and premieres around the world he said "The hysteria that we have come across on the tour has been insane. Everywhere we went we were met with this brilliant reception.". Robert talked about how his character was very relatable to the audience being the only "normal" guy. "Yeah it is always fun being the normal guy at the back of the group hiding in terror. What my characters armour is in the film is his wit. It deflects all the madness. He's kind of in the back making snarky comments. It was a lovely thing to play with."

Jamie was also asked about the negativity with him being cast as Jace " The fact is you guys are sort of stuck with me now (everyone laughs). Everyone has been really supportive. Since the trailer has come out I have heard nothing but great things. I mean there was a book made for me (Made by Mundie Moms and Fangirlish) and it makes me emotional." Jamie talks about the importance of having a gay character in the movie "I get the question. its sort of nether here nor there. Sex and sexuality nowadays it shouldn't be at the full front of contention. We are all wise enough and ugly enough to realise that we are all human. We do have the love triangle, cube, pentagram, whatever you call it. the spiritual kind of love. We all love each other and its great."


Lily talks about TMI not just being a love story "I think part of what separates us from other franchises. Particularly the one we are most compared to is it isn't a romance its a urban fantasy. The romance is involved but the men in Clary's world don't defy her. She never victimizes herself. She allows herself to be vulnerable, strong and fall in love while figuring it all out but she's single-mindedly trying to find her Mom, and that's what's propelling her forward. She doesn't just wallow and wait. the love story is pivotal... but its not just that. its not just for girls."

Harold was asked by a fan what his favourite scene was to shoot and he admitted that "the scene where Simon declares his love for Clary. It really choked me up. Robert filmed that in one take and we used it. He nailed it" The presenter mentioned that Jamie and Robert were topless a lot in the film. All the girls screamed (of course) Robert said "That first poetry scene I wanted to have my shirt off but they wouldn't let me"
Jamie mentioned his costume "One of my costumes is actually cut up and put in cards that you guys can buy so Jace will probably be naked through out City Of Ashes"

We can all hope right guys?..


So there you have it! a taster from the awesome TMI event in London. We didn't get a premiere.. sad times but we did have this. So thank you to everyone involved for doing this and of course to the cast and director for making it so enjoyable! Casey x
