The writers for the French blog Shadowhunters had an exciting opportunity this week. Thanks to Pocket Jeunesse (the French editor of the Mortal Instruments series), fans had the opportunity to meet with both Cassandra Clare and Holly Black in a Paris restaurant. While there were more fans that showed up than were expected, Shadowhunters reports that they were able to ask all of their questions.
So what did they find out?
- Now that Camelot has not been renewed for a second season, filming of The Mortal Instruments may begin as early as October.
- Alex Pettyfer was offered the role of Jace by Screen Gems, but refused because he didn’t want to play in another YA movie.
- The next Infernal Devices book will have more Magnus, including information about his father and his childhood.
- The Infernal Devices will be developed as a graphic novel.
- Cassandra Clare and Holly Black like to refer to each other’s work while writing – for example, Clare’s Fairy Queen doesn’t have a name because she is referring to Holly Black’s character.
- City of Lost Souls will take place in Paris, thus the reason she is there writing.
