This is my pick for Jace

Jace, the super sexy guy from the book series "The Mortal Instruments" by Cassandra Clare. He is supposed to have like white hair and tawny, sparkling eyes. He is sarcastic and so hot. Anyway, I was reading City of Bones last night (the first book in the series) and as I fell asleep, I tried to come up with the person I would like to play Jace. I decided on Ryan Gosling. What do you think? Who would be your Jace?

22 enjoyed the bouquet.:

I just don't find him sexy...

I have no idea who should play Jace?

I was thinking Hayden Christenson (spelling?) - really hot, kind of pouty. Love him. And he was blonde enoug as Anakin Skywalker - could be made blonder.

I've always hated him, but I just looked up pictures of him, and he has gotten way more attractive in the past few years. He would be pretty good, I think. mmmmmm... here is one example:

Maybe Orlando Bloom? Not in every day life, but in these pictures. And blonder:

I think ryan is too short to be Ian.... hmmm, how about James Marsden...yep, James Marsden is my Ian.

Jes said...

oops! we are talking about JACE!!!! I forgot.

my jace woud be- ha- James VanderBeek, came to my mind.... j/k

All of your suggestions are too old. I don't have any better at this moment, but we need to find some fresh, young blood.

Erin said...

I spent the last half hour plugging in search terms like "young blonde male" and "18 blonde man" into Google images and E! Online, and not only did I come up with nothing, but I got some raunchy results...uh...

I don't think I follow the younger actors enough now to even know where to start. I remembered my students talking about Gossip Girls, and I looked it up and Chace Crawford is HOT, but he's 22 and has dark hair. Though Ransom Spunk is 22 and he is playing a perfect 17 year old (not counting about a century, of course).

I still love Hayden Christensen. Mmm. And he can be MY Jace, since I'm old already. I was also thinking about Ryan Phillippe in the style of Cruel Intentions...yum. He can pout and look furious like nobody's business.

alison said...

I agree, corinne. that was my main qualm with picking him in the first place. but I can't think of any young blonds that are hot enough and not sleazy boy band types.

Erin said...

OR...I was just thinking that SM's original ideas for Jasper were hott for Jace. Trent Ford and Calum Best. Though they are too old, too (hope these links work):

Trent Ford

Calum Best

SM's Movie Archives

I don't know anything else about them except the pics SM posted were HOT.

Jes said...

mmmmm- Ryan Philippe gets my vote

Kari said...

Here's someone's take on it:

Thanks, Kari!

I like her choices...though I pictured Clary differently. I'll look for my version of Clary. And I love Michael Cera too much for him to be Simon (he'd probably be perfect, but he - gasp - might steal the fan love away from Jace). And I love Ewan MacGregor too much for him to be Hodge. Oh, my Obi-wan...

Isabelle, the Alec choices, Jocelyn and Luke are spot on, though I don't know why, but I pictured Magnus as Asian. ?? But the Magnus choice is fine.

I'm surprised she didn't pick a Valentine. Don't throw tomatoes at me, b/c I was never an avid Buffy watcher, but I always pictured Valentine to look like Spike. In the white-blonde and dangerous way.

Off to look for my Clary...

Ryah said...

yeah, i could totally see that guy as jace, i also like the alec and isabelle pics as well. ewan as hodge, NO WAY!

i also pictured magnus as being asian, and isn't brad pitt her choice for valentine?

Erin said...

Maybe I missed Brad as Valentine? I'll go back and read again. I'd be fine with that.

She is waaaay too old for Clary, but here is how I picture Clary:

Alicia Witt - if she was just 10 or so years younger (sorry, copy and paste):

Jes said...

Ah! Michael Cera as simon would be AWESOME! I'd love to see him as a vamp! Aw, he would be perfectly twitchy, like I view Simon.

alison said...

I didn't really like them at all.

well, clary and alec were ok. some of them weren't bad. but I disagree with the rest, esp. involving bradley pitt and the guy to play jace and the girl from firefly, etc etc.

ps. I picture Luke looking like "luke" from gilmore girls. I can't help it--its a same name kind of thing ;)

Jes said...

I figured out my JACE!!!
Ben Mackenzie(ryan atwood on the o.c.)

Erin said...

I'm watching the MTV movie awards...and he's way too old (25 or 26), but Cam Gigandet (who plays James in the Twilight movie) kinda looks like a Jace to me. Blondish, dangerous, beautiful...
