So it was announced today that the sequel to the recently released 'The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones' movie would no longer begin filming in September. Don't worry! Cassandra Clare herself took to tumblr after hearing the news from twitter (bit awkward) and confirmed it was "not cancelled, delayed".
Clare posted an article from 'The Wrap' saying, "The decision to delay “City of Ashes” was made several days
ago after Constantin spoke with its international distributors at the
Toronto International Film Festival, Moszkowicz told The Wrap. While
Constantin is committed to making the sequel, the company did not want
to rush into production with an unfinished screenplay, preferring to
take the time to get right."
She went on to post:
"Delays happen in the movie biz... I never thought they’d make
the first movie. I literally assumed it would be cancelled up until the
moment of the premiere.
Speaking for myself —and honestly, for readers and fans, too — I
think a delay could be good. The draft of the screenplay I saw for the
first time last week was very far from the book City of Ashes,
and if they’d really started shooting in September there wouldn’t have
been time to change it. From the limited amount I know, it seems to me
better to take the time to get it right than to rush ahead."
Personally I agree with the delay. It seems better to make a movie that would make the books proud than one that was made just to keep up the franchise. Though it means waiting longer I am totally willing to wait for it.
There are issues though. Page to Premiere wrote, "The issue with a delay is that actors and others involved may move on to
other projects during the interim, causing the film to be delayed even
more, and possibly put into “movie limbo” (read: never be made).
However, we’re all hoping that won’t be the case."
Only time will tell but I hope it works out for the best. Have faith the movie will be made!
