I am excited for this. Thanks Jen for creating this thread here at spoilers.

Stay to the Lights · 03-07-2015, 07:27 AM

I'm excited too! No worries.

Dieselandust · 03-07-2015, 07:54 AM

this is so flippin awesome!

Davis-Scott · 03-07-2015, 08:54 AM

This is so freakin awesome! I really hopes for a 2nd movie, but a tv show is even better. I really hope they cast someone good as Clary, I really lover Lily Collins as her!

Stay to the Lights · 03-07-2015, 08:56 AM

Yeah. Hopefully the next few weeks we'll know some castings!

Roswell Dream Girl · 03-07-2015, 12:33 PM

Thanks for the thread! Is the series based off a book? What channel picked it up?

Pretty sure I'm next in line, so I've assigned the thread to myself. If that's not right we can fix it once Nikki gets back from vacation.

It is based on a book series, the mortal instruments. They did a movie, but it didn't do well, so they decided to reboot as a tv series.

It'll be on ABCFamily.

I'm so glad that they're moving forward with a tv show based on this series! The book series reads much more like a TV show anyway and this gives time for the characters to flesh out more and possibly move the plot in different ways! Im for it!

Stay to the Lights · 03-07-2015, 10:34 PM

I agree.

With this kind of mythology and story, it's better suited to TV than movies.

Yay so excited

Thanks for the thread.

Not yet. They're working on that right now. The casting sides for Clary, Jace and Simon are out, so its in the process

I've read Simon's sides, and it's interesting.

Okay, so SpoilerTV has some info in their comments.
Shadowhunters - Rumor - Mortal Instruments TV Show Ordered Straight To Series By ABC Family *Updated* | Spoilers

Quote:

From what I'm told, in the pilot Dragon Ball is the first manga that Simon lent Clary. They apparently mention a few character names too.

I'm told that at one point she mentions manga to the Shadowhunters too. When they mention Vampires to her.

Quote:

I'm told it's more modern (Isabelle has an iPad that detects demons). Also Simon and Clary track each other using phone apps.

It's definitely different but it seems that most of the key/important points are retained.

The issue which I'm trying to get my source to look into is a couple of characters so far don't seem to be present. My source hasn't seen or heard any reference to Hodge, Church, Madam Dorothea, Luke or Magnus Bane (although Luke and Magnus could just not be in the pilot episode and be introduced in a later episode).

Probably the best way I could describe it from what I'm told is its an adaption. It's not 100% by the book, but they're pulling elements and the mythology and reworking it.

Quote:

I believe the first episode covers up until Clary gets to the institute and discovers she's not a mundane.

I think its good they are making it more modern, because otherwise we'd be stuck in 2006/2007 for the entire series.
