That Mortal Instruments Movie You Won't See is Planning a Sequel with Sigourney Weaver

I don't know what The Mortal Instruments is, what it's about and why I'm about supposed to care. It's based on a popular book series. I know that much thanks to the EPK featurette playing in front of practically every film I've seen this summer.

And it seems like one of those "From the International Best Selling Phenomenon" that nobody shows up for. Hey for every Twilight and Hunger Games, there are ten times as many Golden Compass, The Dark is Rising and Percy Jackson. As its August release approaches, talk has turned to a follow-up. Typical discussion, sure, only this time they’re already casting up.

Sigourney Weaver will come aboard for The Mortal Instruments: City of Ashes in addition to the returning Abercrombie & Fitch cast and director Harald Zwart. She'll play the "ruthless leader of the Shadowhunters who will stop at nothing to destroy the man who killed her son."

Weaver has been taking and money for years. And you know what, she's earned it. But isn't this sequel talk all premature? The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones has a "Dump the crap" slot at the end of next month. Who really thinks there is going to be another one? Well... besides its studio.
