You know, being a teenage can be hard. Your body is awkward, you’re fending off acne, high school is kicking your ass… what could be worse? Well, how about finding out you’re an instrument to be used as a means of keeping demons from walking the Earth? Yeah. Complicated.

According to Deadline, Sony Pictures is the frontrunner to partner with Constantin on the live action adaptation of Cassandra Clare’s The Mortal Instruments.

In the film, “Clary, a seemingly ordinary teenager, discovers she is the descendant of a line of Shadowhunters, a secret cadre of young half-angel warriors locked in an ancient battle to protect our world from demons. After the disappearance of her mother, Clary must join forces with a group of Shadowhunters who introduce her to a dangerous alternate New York called Downworld, filled with demons, warlocks, vampires, werewolves and other deadly creatures.”

Jessica Postigo and I. Marlene King wrote the script while Lily Collins (Mirror, Mirror) was previously announced as starring. Look for Harald Zwart (The Karate Kid) to direct this adaptation of Book One of the young adult series.
