Could One of These 3 Guys Be “Jace” in The Mortal Instruments Movie?

16 May 2011 4 Comments

The Wrap has just posted a story where they say that Jamie Campbell-Bower, Ed Speleers, and Leebo Freeman are all in the lead for the role of Jace. All three actors tested with Lily Collins on Friday. Here are the details:

Three young actors are in the running for the lead role in Screen Gems’ movie “The Mortal Instruments.”

You’ll be hearing a lot about the film: Lily Collins, who made a name for herself in “The Blind Side” and is playing Snow White in Relativity Media’s “Snow White” movie, plays Clary Fray, the lead.

On Friday, Jamie Campbell Bower [...], Ed Speleers and newcomer Leebo Freeman tested opposite Collins on the Sony Pictures lot.

Collins was seen leaving the Robert Young Building with Freeman [...] after the test.

See more at The Wrap. I’ll put my two cents in, when I saw Leebo I automatically thought, “He’s Jace... He’s Jace.” Which of the three guys are your favorite? I know Alex Pettyfer has been a long-time fan favorite, but after seeing him in I Am Number Four, I’m not convinced he could pull off the role of Jace. My personal favorites have always been Oliver Jackson-Cohen and Liam Hemsworth, but uh…Liam’s a bit busy these days, isn’t he? ;)  Feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section!

    Wow!! I like the look of Leebo, but do we know if the guy can act? Jamie always looks sloppy to me and also too old for the part. No thoughts on Ed just yet. Very excited to see this on the big screen, but more excited about City of Lost Souls.

    I was hoping Douglas Booth would be one of the three, but alas :( I could get by with one of these (Just kidding, the potential is good).

    Leebo really looks like a shadow hunter. A hot shadow hunter. I even showed my mom and she got short winded. Jamie looks more like Alec Lightwood. And Ed Speelers is a snooze alert.

    Rebecca, I agree with you about Leebo. That’s the only drawback I see. He’s a model, and from what I found when I googled him, he’s not done any acting. Ever. I can’t wait to see who they actually cast!
