OlderAlex Pettyfer: Offered Jace Wayland Role?
Looks like when Lily Collins suggested Alex Pettyfer for the role of Jace Wayland (from the fans), the studio listened!
According to Vulture, the 20-year-old British actor has been offered the role in The Mortal Instruments series.
The paper reports, “Insiders tell us that Screen Gems chief Clint Culpepper feels so strongly about casting Pettyfer in the supernatural love story that he only wants to green-light the film if he can land the actor.”
Jace Wayland is a sarcastic Shadowhunter and the description for the part is for a heavily inked-up teen with strange symbols all over his rippling, muscular body. Shooting is expected to start in March.

Oh, Alex is the perfect suit for Jace! The fandom over him being Jace is crazy.
YES, OMG. YESSSSSSSS
YES!!! YES YES!!
Alex = Jace

There is only one person who would be the perfect Jace, and that’s Alex.
i think he’d be great great as jace but i’m not sure if it;s good for is career….
He’s perfect for this series. I hope he takes it.
i used to think he was perfect for the role. but now.. i don’t know.
OMG YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If this doesn’t happen, the movie will not be worth making.
♥ yeah for alex.♥
I wish Drew Van Acker could play Peeta. He’d be perfect!
Alex = Perfect!
Even though I didn’t really like the books…

YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYEEEEEEEEEEEEEES! :D
Obviously, he’s PERFECT for the role. I totally imagine him as Jace. ♥
I love him so much, he’s SO hot. <3
OMG YES! He will be VERY good for Jace!
Alex is perfectg for the part of Jace,,,,,its amazing just like it was written.
@shortreminiscence: His fans hyping the idea everywhere might be the true source of this ‘information’.vulture wouldn’t be the first blog to score hits by claiming some fan fantasy is fact based on unnamed sources.
which is why I refuse to get excited either way until I see a real announcement. And although Alex has yet to wow me with any acting prowess if he is cast, I’ll get him the benefit of the doubt and wait until I see him fail before I claim he totally sucks. Who knows, he might surprise me and be good in the role.
Completely perfect. This movie will be so much better than twilight. They have already cast great people!
YES YES YES YES . he HAS to take this .
he’s perfectttttt . i hope he takes it .
i have a lot of hope for this !

Alex has already met with the director a couple of times, and has reviewed the books.
An announcement on whether or not he accepted the offer will come sometime next week.
THIS IS PERFECT! JUST PERFECT!
Alex Pettyfer is so Beautiful, I’ve liked him since the first time I saw him in Alex Rider: Stormbreaker (2006) and thought he was Gorgeous Straight away. I think I will like The Mortal Instruments Movie because of the main actors, I think they can pull it off. Twilight for me was destroyed because of the Acting of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, the only person I liked in Twilght was Taylor Lautner, I saw the First Movie and have not watched the others cause the first Twilight Movie was a Disaster and killed it for me, I really liked Robert in the Fourth Harry Potter and when I saw the First Twilight, I started to think he’s really bad at acting and he’s not thta good looking in my opinion. But hopefully Lily and Alex will make The Mortal Instrument Awesome.
dont get me wrong- i dont believe that anyone else could be jace. but they better get a move on, cause there are at least gonna be four books in this series and… well… Jace IS a teenager. i’m just saying that alex is getting a little….. old
oh please alex accept being jace wayland, you cant have that face and not be jace! if he declines the offer i am so going to cry, there is no one as perfect as alex to be jace, if you go on youtube and look at all the fanmade cast for city of bones alex is always jace everyone wants him to be jace so frikin accept the role alex! please =)
