"The Instrument of Death: The City of Bones." Actors and roles

The Cannon of Death: The City of Bones (actors: Aidan Turner, the cutie Lily Collins, the impressive Robert Sheen, the uncommon Kevin Seghers, the spectacular Jamie Campbell Bower, the sumptuous Jemima West) is the adaptation of Cassandra Claire's first novel of a mega-popular teenage fantasy cycle.

Variations on the topic

Adults and skeptical viewers definitely should not be expected from the film of a cardinal revolution of consciousness. However, for the youthful audience this variation on the theme "and cracked the world in half" in general can eclipse both the glorified "Twilight", and even the legendary "Harry Potter". The mystical theme has recently become so popular in the cinema that quite recently three films have tried to "outperform" the above-mentioned film projects: "Guest", "Timeless". Ruby book "and" Beautiful creatures. " However, the most close to success was the movie "Hunger Games."

And it should be noted that the cash prospects for the film are very encouraging. After all, the literary original also has a decent army of fans, thanks to the fact that the book is written by the author quite easily and is not at all overloaded with morals. Designers and animators of the picture created on the screen an attractive strange world. The costumes of the characters, effects and scenery in scale are not inferior to such generally recognized masterpieces as "The Chronicles of Narnia", "The Lord of the Rings", and other global blockbusters. And the structure of the plot, distinct and harmonious, harmoniously links both love affairs and action scenes, which favorably distinguishes the film from a number of countless stories on vampire themes.

The film version is not heavy

The screen version of the book was entrusted to the Norwegian director Harold Zvart ("Karate-boy", "Agent Cody Banks" and the claim "Pink Panther 2"). At the same time, the producers did not fail: Tsvart, having studied the source, threw out everything that seemed to him distracting and superfluous. After finalizing the scriptwriters, the original story turned into a beautiful fantasy story about love with amazing scenery that could well exceed the success of Twilight. The film version of the "Cannon of Death: The City of Bones" (the actors and roles of which are as impressing with their play as unconventional scenery) are not at all heavy. The action is developing quite rapidly, not really explaining the meaning and root causes of what is happening, and not being distracted by a detailed acquaintance with the characters. The fact is that the "Cannon of Death: The City of Bones" is a well-trodden road, and they do not need an uninformed spectator to explain who and where the demons, werewolves and vampires came from, because all this evil spirits have long been familiar to us. Not particularly bother creators and in the disclosure of the meaning of the existence of the Hunters, explaining this inattention with an urgent need to solve the emerging problems of the main characters.

This is a brief retelling of the plot line of the painting "The Cannon of Death: The City of Bones."

Fantasy does not happen much

The film desperately stood on the beaten path of already popular fantasy paintings about the eternal struggle between good and evil. There are no half-tones, and there are only white and black. Performed in the traditional form of the girls' franchise "The Cannon of Death: The City of Bones" (the actors of which are selected for the standard types of youth paintings) is doomed to success. In the event that the predicted target audience suddenly does not like the character of Lily Collins, handsome hero Jamie Campbell Bauer certainly will withstand all the comparison with Robert Pattinson. The performers of "adult characters" became Lena Hidi (the most unsurpassed Cersei from the "Game of Thrones" got a more positive role here), as well as the charismatic Jonathan Rhys-Meyers and Jared Harris - these actors are quite capable of creating a steep demonic world and without the help of special effects.

Cast - the lion's share of success

It is difficult to object to the assertion that the lion's share of the success of any film is the correct casting. In this sense, the movie "The Cannon of Death: City of Bones" (the actors will be listed below) is no exception. With casting in this movie, everything is in order, which confirms the reaction of the fans. Lily Collins picture clearly adorns. But Jamie Campbell Bauer could play and more convincingly, but Shakespeare's passions are not required of him, and he will enjoy the silent spectators only with a piercing glance from under his hood. Robert Weaker plays a bit weaker, but he compensates this shortcoming with his humor. Jonathan Reese Myers is a little overplayed, and Lena Hidey is just hiding in memories, then in a coma. Extorts every phrase and scene Jared Harris. That's how actors of two generations play: young people are pompous and serious, and the older generation is fabulously mysterious. So the actors of the film "The Cannon of Death: The City of Bones" keep the balance, and the tape looks with great interest. The painting will appeal to a wide audience of viewers also with the intriguing atmosphere of the mysteries of antiquity and a pretty visual picture.
