Can't wait a day longer for The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones' release? Fear not, we've gathered together some of the best shots from the film and made them into a nice little click-through gallery for you. Almost as good as the real thing. Almost.
Rex FeaturesMeet Clary (Lily Collins). She's a Mundane (that's your average non-magical member of the human race), and the daughter of a Mundane (Jocelyn, played by Lena Headey, yes that's her out of Game Of Thrones). Or so she thinks.
Rex FeaturesUntil things start getting a little weird.
Rex FeaturesShe meets Jace Wayland (Jamie Campbell Bower), a Shadowhunter, who opens up a new world of demons, monsters and magic to Clary.
Rex FeaturesJace lives with some Shadowhunter friends, including Alec (Kevin Zegers), his best mate.
Rex FeaturesThere's always a baddie. And as baddies go, Valentine Morgenstern (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) is a good one. But, you know, bad.
Rex FeaturesYou see that guy at the back on the left, behind Isabelle (Jemima West)? That's Clary's best friend, Simon (Robert Sheehan). He's finding it difficult to adjust to Clary's new life.
Rex Features...But then again so is she.
Rex FeaturesBeing a Shadowhunter is not all about killing demons though. It also requires wardrobe adjustments.
Rex FeaturesLike lots of leather.
Rex Features...And the occasional whip.
Rex FeaturesJace finds himself drawn to Clary.
Rex FeaturesWhile Clary can't help but be attracted to Jace. She is only human (well, Shadowhunter) after all.
Rex FeaturesAh, the greenhouse scene. You'll see.
Rex FeaturesOh, and the Shadowhunters mark themselves all over with rune markings to give them different skills in battle, or protection in dangerous situations. JCB had to take his shirt off to show us. Thankfully.
Rex FeaturesYou'll also learn a lot about Downworlders and demons in The Mortal Instruments, City Of Bones (out 21 August 2013). But we won't overload your Mundane brains, for now.
