This is the biggest movie role of Lily Collins' young acting career as she teams up with director Harald Zwart for the very first time.

But Clary Fray is not the only main character in The Mortal Instruments, as Jace Wayland plays as vital a role.

And it is Jamie Campbell Bower who has landed the role. Not satisfied with one teen film series under his belt he has left vampires behind to become a shadowhunter.

Harald Zwart has brought us movies such as One Night at McCool's, but this is his first directorial outing since his remake of The Karate Kid back in 2010.

Clary Fray (Collins) thought she was an ordinary teenager living in Brooklyn until one night in a downtown nightclub she encounters the mysterious, charismatic Jace.

Upon witnessing Jace hunt down and kill a demon in the crowded club, Clary begins to wonder if she is that ordinary after all. Especially as she appears to be the only one who can see him...

Jace Wayland (Bower) is a Shadowhunter. Part of a secret cadre of half-angel warriors, he is tasked with protecting humanity in an ancient battle against demonic forces. This battle has been fought secretly in our midst for centuries, but the stakes have just been raised.

When Clary’s mother is viciously attacked and taken from their home, she discovers her connections to Jace run deeper than she could ever have imagined and beneath surface of the city exists another world...one she unknowingly belongs to.

As both Clary and best friend Simon (Robert Sheehan) are drawn into this dark and dangerous world, Clary realises Jace is both the key to uncovering her past and protecting her future.

The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones is set to be one of the biggest hits of the summer as fans of the novel flock to cinemas to see their favourite characters brought to life.

And while this first movie has only just hit the big screen, it seems that plans to adapt City of Ashes are already up and running.
