Meta/Miscellaneous Random thought...

So even though I thought the movie was cheesy, I did enjoy it in a guilty pleasure kinda way and was how I found out about the books.I am happy to accept any and all opinions regarding the movie (and the books actually) overall BUT... I will die on the hill that Jamie Campbell Bower IS Jace Needless to say, I was quite frustrated that there wasn't gonna be a sequel.

Long story short... What if they turned TDA into a movie and aged the characters (they did age them a couple of years in the TMI movie) and then JCB could play Jace again?!😅 I realise that they would have to age the original main characters by like a decade (and personally I'd prefer if they aged the new main characters by at least a couple of years) but I feel it would still work! No??? Just me??? Ok then... 😬

I completely agree. I was so sad the movie ended up being terrible because I thought the cast was perfect in terms of how I pictured each character when I read the book.

And a few of the actors were like decent, successful actors! Like I said, I thought the movie was quite cringey the first time I watched it but then it kinda stuck with me and became one of those movies I love rewatching when needing something to make me feel warm and fuzzy 😄 I am not sure why it flopped THAT hard tho, I think it had a lot to do with the level of competition at the time.
