Last night Simon & Schuster threw the ultimate The Mortal Instruments party at Book Expo America (BEA). The best part of last night was the bonus five minute clip party goers were treated to from Sony.

The five minute bonus scene was a clip from the beginning of the film when Clary begins to realize something isn’t right with the mysterious boy she keeps seeing. The scene opens with Jocelyn (Lena Heady) answering the door and being attacked. We see her being attacked and fighting back. Meanwhile Clary is arguing with Jace about what he is and why she keeps drawing a certain symbol (Angelic power). The two continue to argue and in one cut away scene it looks like Clary is talking to herself.

The scene cuts back to Jocelyn who continues to beat up the monsters attacking her. Never fear, she can hold her own! Jocelyn frantically calls Clary and tells her to stay away. Right after the phone call Jocelyn is cornered by her attackers and tells them to give Valentine before she drinks a mysterious liquid.

Clary turns up at the house to find it destroyed and empty except for a strange dog. The dog begins to shift into a demon. Clary manages to fight the demon off, but only for it to attack again. This time Jace drives his seraph blade into the demon, killing it. Clary is overwhelmed with everything that is going on and Jace ends the scene with one of his trademark snarky comments.

Words cannot describe how amazing this footage is. The book has truly been brought to life on the big screen, and there are only more cool things coming our way. This scene proves that this movie is not a girly film but was made for lovers of action packed fantasy films. We can’t wait to see more of what this film has to offer.
