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?)

	Let me put it this way... Do you remember that scene where a lawnmower kills a man and the cops say that 'what's left of him' is in the bird bath? THAT's King's story. That little scene, and nothing more. Everything else came from who knows where, and that's why King insisted that his name was taken off the posters of the movie. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

I could never even fathom the idea of making a film out of that story. I mean, it isn't even long enough for a whole episode of Tales of the Unexpected. I guess it's just the ability to slap Stephen King's name on it and hope no one notices it's a terrible film. But even given that, there had to be some more plausibly film-length short stories that hadn't been adapted, yet.
