New City of Bones movie director and producer

Yesterday, Marlene King, who rewrote the script, revealed that she has a meeting with a producer and the new director.
Now, Cassandra Clare revealed that she is also meeting with the new director, whom she has spoken with on the phone already, in two weeks.
The new director has already met with lead actors Lily Collins (Clary) and Jamie Campbell Bower (Jace) and loves them. He also has a good feel for the complexity of the characters and their direction, including the many layers of Jace. Clare said that the producers have really made it a point to include her in the process, hence the meeting, which is very encouraging.

Check out Cassie’s full post:

I just wanted to say is that I am so glad that Marlene is meeting with the director and the producers at Constantin. I know lots of rumours have been floating around and I tend to be really quiet, but I want to make sure that when I tell you something, it’s true to the best of my knowledge. The movie industry runs on rumors and innuendo (this is why IMDB is basically useless till a movie goes into production and they lock down the page) and while things can always change, I want to be passing along info that’s as final as things in Hollywood get.
I have a little bit of news that’s exciting — and not even the news I was talking about yesteday! — I will be flying to Los Angeles from Mexico to meet with the new director. I can’t tell you who he is yet, but I’ve talked to him on the phone and he’s had a lot of great insight into the characters, really smart thoughts about the filming, and he had great thoughts about Jace, talking about how he wasn’t just an action hero, he was a layered, complex character with a lot of depth (oh and he has met with Lily and Jamie and he loves them.)
I’m excited he and the producers have made a special point to meet with me, go over concept sketches, talk about the characters and their direction — that doesn’t happen all that often with authors in Hollywood, that we get included that much. However I don’t want to jinx anything, so I’m going to be vague until things are definite. I will keep you updated as much as I can — I know it’s hard to wait; believe me, it’s hard for me, too. I’m actually really glad that we moved on from Screen Gems because things have been proceeding at enormous speed since then and I hope to have some concrete stuff to tell you soon. In the meantime I promise photos of my crazy trip to LA.

Who’s excited to find out the identity of this new director? And looks like things are definitely moving forward at a rapid pace now.
