Lily Collins' Opinion About Clary's Red Hair Saying "My hair is red enough"

When the movie first started filming, a lot of fans were complaining about Lily Collins new red hair colour. So, Lily Collins and Cassandra Clare started discussing the colour issue. Cassandra Clare believes the hair colour is such a small thing compared to the whole plot of the book.

“Everyone was blogging, ‘Your hair is not red enough!’ and I was like, “First of all, you’re seeing me in the shade walking in Toronto, it looks darker but on screen with the lighting…” Collins tells us. “But when I asked [Cassandra Clare] about the red hair, she goes, ‘Well, I never exactly specified what colour red; that’s the fans.’ So that was a weight off my shoulders.
“I’m like, ‘Did I miss something, that they talked about how red her hair was?’ and she’s like, “No, you just keep doing your thing. Someone is always going to have something to say, but you were chosen for a reason.” And she had every faith in all the actors. So that was kind of the most important thing.”
Collins should know after all, as a self-proclaimed fan of the series long before the role came up. What she loved about Clary was how much she could identify with the troubled teen: “She is really close to her mom and this whole journey is about her quest to save her, and she’ll do anything she can to get her back. I’m so close with mine, so I saw myself in that position as doing exactly what Clary would have done.”

Jamie Campbell Bower and Cassandra Clare Talk About Props on the 'CITY OF BONES' Set

Jamie Campbell Bower and Cassandra Clare

Yahoo Movies attended the London Film and Comic Con 2013 Mortal Instruments panel from July 6th. They have summarized what Cassandra Clare and Jamie Campbell Bower discussed during the panel:

Both Clare and Bower seemed humbled by the experience, with Clare honoured to have been involved in the adaptations process - something which is not commonplace for most authors - and Bower thanking the power of the fans for getting the film made in the first place.
Bower explained that he tries not to focus on the global recognition a film could bring him, focusing instead on stories that mean a lot to him. When asked about his combat training over the years, Bower laughed that for a while he knew how to kill someone with his bare hands but has a brain like a sieve and has since forgotten all his training.
Bower clearly adores his career, saying that he constantly finds it 'shocking that somebody wants to pay me to dress up'. He also confessed to having stolen a few things from the set including a rather important ring. Clare laughed that she had also tried to take the mortal cup but hadn't banked on it being quite so heavy. The cast, they explained, all have their own shadowhunter necklaces - but these were given to them, not taken from the set!

Find out Which 'Mortal Instruments' Quote Jamie Campbell Bower is Getting and Why

timeof-magic

At the Waterstones book signing in London today (July 4th), Jamie Campbell Bower announced that he will get a quote from the Mortal Instruments fandom.

Jamie Campbell Bower decided to get “I am, after all, what you made me” which will go on his back.

He's changed his minds a couple times -going from a rune to a crow to “to love is to destroy,” (which is his favorite line). However, he decided that “to love is to destroy” is a little too dark and dreary for a tattoo.
