After a disappointing first installment, the already scheduled sequel to The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, City of Ashes seems to be going ahead after it was previously announced that it wouldn’t happen. In an interview to THR, Constantin Film’s head of film and tv, Martin Moszkowicz said that because of the large amount of author’s Cassandra Clare’s fans positive response, the company is determined to continue with the franchise.
"The
fan response, from the blogosphere and the thousands of mails we have received,
has encouraged us to keep going,"
"It's
been overwhelmingly positive, in contrast to some other YA titles."
He
then added:
"We
are analyzing what we did wrong with the first film, particularly with the
positioning and marketing, and what changes we have to make. We are working
with a great group of people to reposition the franchise (for City of
Ashes)."
“The
readers of Mortal Instruments are older than you might think. That may have
been one issue in our marketing, that we focused too much on a very young
audience segment."
Director
Harald Zwart is expected to return for The Mortal Instruments: City of Ashes,
as well as the rest of the cast.
