Embracing My Inner Geek (6)

Embracing My Inner Geek is a weekly post featured on Queen of Contemporary where I ramble about random and geeky stuff.

This week I’m going to be sharing something so amazing that I’m going to be grinning to myself whilst writing this post. 

This is also something that I watched about twenty times on the day of its release.

It is….

The City of Bones trailer! 

I am so impressed with this trailer. I’ve recently become obsessed with all of Cassandra Clare’s books and so I couldn’t help but squeal when I saw that this trailer was being released.
I’m so happy with the cast and I think Lily Collins is the perfect Clary as well as Jamie Campbell Bower being the perfect Jace. I think the TMI fandom should be so proud to have such amazing people working on this movie because it has really done it justice.
Now, on to the trailer itself…

I love Hodge’s voice over. Even though I’m too busy staring at the screen to pay proper attention, I think it works really well.
Lena Headey as Jocelyn Fray is also really good and I’m going to write a bit more about her and the Shadowhunter’s accents a little later on in this post.
I’m really not sure about the casting of Luke because he really doesn’t look like the Luke I have in my head (that sounds really weird!) but I’m sure this won’t be a major issue for me.
The first look at the Shadowhunters sets me squealing and they look just like I imagine. The costumes are so creative and I think Cassie Clare’s vision has been brought to life. Jamie wielding that seraph blade (I’m assuming it’s a seraph blade?) is another thing that I go a little crazy for.
‘You’re not a mundane.’ OHMIGOD! That line also makes me squeal. Have you noticed a recurrence here?
I love that we get to see a demon because this was one of the things I was a little worried about but I was disappointed that Jace killed it and not Clary because I think that was something that added to her character in the books.
And now I must mention how much I loved Isabelle in this trailer. Even though we didn’t hear any of her dialogue, we got to see such a big part of her personality and, by this point in the trailer, I’m jumping up and down in my chair. She has so much sass!

I know I’ve heard different, but I like the fact that the Shadowhunters are British. This may be because I’m from England myself so I’ve always read it in my own voice. I don’t think this will be a problem for me but I can see why it might be for some people. Personally, I don’t think the Shadowhunters from Idris would have either an English or American accent because they don’t live in either place. I do, however, think that Alec and Isabelle would have an American accent because they grew up there.

Let me know what you think in the comments below!

You might have also noticed that Embracing My Inner Geek now has a new header which was designed by the lovely Emma from Never Judge A Book By It’s Cover and The Graphicness. Emma also designed my header and blog button and I would like to thank her for being so fab!
