Hi Miso (and Nayma, Taba too, if you’re reading this). I told all of you a long looong time ago about ‘City of Bones’ being turned into a motion picture (don’t you dare say I didn’t!!!) and it’s only in its initial stage. Shooting is starting in July and I was very worried about the casting. But frankly I forgot to keep track of it. So when the last time I googled it months ago, people were still shouting their head off for Alex Pettyfer to be cast as Jace (I’ve mentioned ‘Jace’ countless times in my letters, Miso. So I’m skipping any kind of introduction). I thought he might be the perfect Jace but after watching ‘I’m number 4’ I had second thoughts. Kintu ke janto er cheyeo baje keo Jace role play korte pare! Jamie Campbell auditioned for it, and now he has pretty much made it!! JAMIE CAMPBELL!!!! SERIOUSLY??? Are they out of their bloody minds? One peek of him in The Twilight Haga: New Moon (as my sister loves to call it) was enough for me to shower him with my tank full of thuus! Not to mention, when I heard the rumor about him going out with Bonnie Wright I thought they’re absolutely perfect for each other, which is REALLY saying something. And now I have to see him playing the one of the characters I’m genuinely fond of!!! I was kind of prepared to be disappointed with the movie (somehow, I always choose books over movies) but THIS is something I never saw coming! A complete hijra, who’s dating another hijri (if that counts as a word), playing the stubborn and sharp mouthed Jace Wayland/Herondale/Lightwood!! Amar nak movie ber hobar agei kete gelo! The writer of the series said that in audition there was some sort of blazing chemistry between hijra and Lili Collins (right, we’ll see about that!!) and they were saying ‘That’s Jace standing right there’ or something like that (LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA… I sooo didn’t hear that). Anyway, casting hijra might also turn out to be a good thing (though I really, really doubt it), so all I have to do is wait for the movie to come out and see what happens (and of course, improve my hijra-tolerance considerably).
