Most Anticipated
City of Bones
(Cassandra Clare)
I'm a huge fan of Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments series so I'm completely giddy about the film adaptation coming out this year! The first trailer already tickled my taste buds.
Starring: Lily Colins, Jamie Campbell Bower, Robert Sheehan
Released: 23rd August 2013
Beautiful Creatures
(Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl)
(Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl)
I read the book last year after seeing the film trailer. I really loved the characters and it looks like the film adaptation is going to really do justice to the magic in the story!
Starring: Alden Ehrenreich, Alice Englert, Viola Davis, Jeremy Irons, Emma Thompson and Emmy Rossum
Catching Fire
(Suzanne Collins)
I love The Hunger Games trilogy and the first film blew me away with how great the acting was and how faithful they were to the book. Catching Fire is my favourite book from the trilogy so I'm really excited to see how the film lives up to it!
Starring: Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson

The Host

Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters
