City of Bones NEW TRAILER: Just embrace the 2nd-hand embarrassment

Pull up a chair, you guys. A comfy one. It’s time to just let it all go and get on board with The Mortal Instruments fandom. They just released the new full length trailer for City of Bones, and … oh hell. It looks just as good as the first one did.

 

 

 

I gotta say that doesn’t just look like a good movie, it looks like a GREAT book adaptation. Let’s quickly recap.

 

• JOCELYN and LUKE (aka Lena Headey and Aidan Turner) – It was so great to see a glimpse of what their storyline will be like! I imagine Luke telling Jocelyn she needs to lighten up on Clary on right after this look.

• And OH YEAH that is Cersei mothertrucking Lannister as Jocelyn and OH YEAH that’s her being a complete Shadowhunting badass in some kind of flashback or something. *Sidenote* Lena Headey is REALLY into projects with incest plotlines, huh?

• That Ravener demon does NOT look cheesy, and neither does Jace when he SMITES him. Bonus points to fx-heavy movies that don’t do it on the cheap!

 

• The Institute looks AMAZING.

• This is action-packed, yo. You can bring BOYS.

 

• Robert Sheehan as Simon is so perfect and funny. God bless him.

• Jonathan Rhys-Meyers: You are always scary. Congrats on also being sexy in this one.

 

• Is that Clary kicking VALENTINE’S ass? #hellyes

 

• Sezzzzzual tension.

• Radiohead? Hahahahhahahahahahaaaaaa.

 

• This guy. Can get it.

 

• This is a trailer that actually gives a good idea of the story: NORMAL GIRL meets PARANORMAL WORLD and tries to find out what happened to her British mum. I feel like this trailer would sell the movie to non-fans.

 

I don’t know, guys. I thought it was a great trailer and looks like a good movie. Should we throw all caution to the wind and just accept the second-hand embarrassment of the fandom?

 

Speaking of second-hand embarrassment, the fans were out en masse at Wondercon last week, and the TMI panel was without a doubt one of the most epically cringe-worthy things I’ve ever watched. You can watch it here. Just be forewarned for: overuse of the word “surreal,” a bit of shameless gagging for a sequel from Lily Collins, and a plethora of familiar questions. Watch til the end of Part 2 when Jamie Campbell Bower makes a great paternity joke to a lady with a baby who then kills it with her EPIC AWK. “Thank you. I’d like to introduce you to my son, Jace.” *crickets*

You gotta hand it to them though: they had gifs of the trailer up exactly 2.5 minutes after it was released. Thanks, y’all.
