There’s some interesting casting news today concerning the book to film adaptation of The Mortal Instruments.

Kevin Durand will join as Pangborn while Robert Maillet will play Blackwell – two villains in Cassandra Clare’s young adult novel.

Though our readers probably don’t need reminding, Mortal Instruments “follows Clary Fray, a seemingly ordinary teenager who discovers she is the descendent of a demon-hunting clan.”

Good fans already know that Lily Collins and Jamie Campbell-Bower will take on the lead roles of Clary and Jace.

Do you think the two could work well for their respective parts? The film will be released in theaters August 23, 2013.

Thanks to Variety.
