"It actually makes sense to do as a TV series," Moszkowicz told The Hollywood Reporter. It seems the real reason why City of Ashes never happened is that they couldn't find a way to make the book series work as movies.
In October 2014, Constantin Film confirmed that The Mortal Instruments would be coming back. Even if the first one doesn't become a gigantic success, we will have a profitable track ahead of us."ĭespite this, the plan to start filming the sequel – which would have brought back the first movie's cast and added Sigourney Weaver – in September 2013 was delayed indefinitely. "Now that $60 million has been spent worldwide on prints and advertising, you can already see how the book sales are accelerating, the soundtrack is hitting the charts. Even if the movie performs moderately, it will still warrant a sequel," Constantin Films co-president Robert Kulzer told the Los Angeles Times in August 2013. "For us as an independent company, it's more about managing expectations. However, even after this, plans were still going ahead for a sequel. The first movie got savaged by critics with a 14% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and only managed $95.4 million at the global box office. It'd be easy to look at the failure of City of Bones as being the main reason for the lack of a sequel, but it's not as straightforward as that.
