Cassandra Clare and the Panned Picture
When we last left out heroine she was leafing some thorny mahogany pickle to her partner-in-crime to go to her big movie premiere.

Well the first of the Mortal Instrument movies is out, ladies and gents!

While not doing terribly bad (Sony had nothing to lose apparently), it didn't exactly shine either taking in only $9 million through the weekend and $14 million at the moment.

So Cassie Claire, er, Clare, has had to do a wee bit of backpedaling.
Covered here but the important tweets are at the bottom.

You see, she didn't really have any control over the film and so if it bombs, it's the movie producer's fault. Nope, zero input on the whole dealio.

Will there be a sequel, given the budget versus the income? Will it matter? Who knows. Expect to see the Mortal Instruments t-shirts next month at your local Hot Topic and see Cassie Clare in her next adventure, Dancing With Wool!

(It could be wood again. Or Woof? Woozie? Dancing With Who?)

	M. Night's The Last Airbender, I'm pretty sure. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	AH, never was into that cartoon. I did try to watch it, but it just didn't take, guess I was too old? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	You're possibly thinking of the original animated series? What I'm talking about is M. Night's live action adaptation, which I hear tell was horrific. I'm one of the lucky ones who wasn't planning to see it anyway, and thus was ~~rolling in schadenfreude~~ not horribly disappointed when it tanked. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	It starts really slow. Everyone I know that loves it, started watching in second season, and then went back and caught up later. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I also heard a lot of people got into it in 1x13, what with the things and the stuff and the first appearance of [SPOILER]. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I think your spoiler text ate the name. But I looked up the episode, and yeah that was a good one XD. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Oh! No, I deliberately left the name out. For some reason, it didn't occur to me to actually include it after/between spoiler tags. BUT YES, very good episode. Apparently Bryke originally thought they might only get the thirteen episodes and wanted to potentially go out with a bang? I think I heard something along those lines, anyway.

	Yeah, it took me quite a while to get really into it, especially with all the shipwar wank that was turning up here. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The shipwars made it sound like a completely different kind of show. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I know one shouldn't judge a work by it's fandom, but, well... (Reply to this)(Parent)

	bienegold 2013-08-29 10:32 am UTC (link)
	Its. It's too late to grammar. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Which is why the whole thing annoyed me so much. (Reply to this)(Parent)
