Simon & Schuster Children’s Books is to publish two tie-in titles for the film adaptation of Cassandra Clare's The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, which is released on 23rd August starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers.
The film is based on the first in Clare's City of Bones series, which is also published by S&S.
The Shadowhunter’s Guide and The Official Illustrated Movie Companion will both be published in paperback on 1st August. The guide will feature full-colour photographic portraits and profiles on the film characters, and quotes from the script, while the companion will provide a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the movie, from the screenwriting process and the casting decisions to the director’s vision.
S&S recently acquired Clare’s forthcoming The Dark Artifices trilogy in a “major seven-figure deal”. The trilogy is set five years after the end of the Mortal Instruments series and the first title will be published in 2015.
