City of Bones Casts Jonathan Rhys-Meyers as Valentine

According to Cassandra Clare, it's affirmed Jonathan Rhys-Meyers is playing the villain, Valentine:

So this is not me posting news so much as confirming the rumors: YES, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers is going to play Valentine.



I’ve liked JRM since he was in Velvet Goldmine and I have to admit that image was what sprang immediately to mind when the producer called me and said “…Jonathan Rhys Meyers?”

I was like, “Velvet Goldmine!”

And Robert, who is German and very practical, was like, “I hope you have seen things he is in since then or I will assume you do not go to the theater.”

So yes I should probably also mention that JRM plays Henry the 8th on The Tudors, and does a very good job of being charismatic, power-hungry, and cold.

Oh noes, I just have to see everyone's reaction to this...

He is so beautiful, IDC what anyone says. He was at his finest in Bend It Like Beckham.

I just wish he could always look like the way he did in Gormenghast.
makahakat 11th-Aug-2012 04:33 am (UTC)
ilh, i will probably pay to see this now (maybe)!
_xxtom 11th-Aug-2012 04:34 am (UTC)
He's the one who's a racist, right?
winniechili 11th-Aug-2012 04:36 am (UTC)
He is (was?) an alcoholic and an addict and an abuser, but I never heard racist.
dannyupshaw 11th-Aug-2012 04:36 am (UTC)
don't know about that, but he drinks a lot.
nene718 11th-Aug-2012 04:37 am (UTC)
yep
_xxtom 11th-Aug-2012 04:42 am (UTC)
lol k i thought so. I typed in 'Jonathan Rhys Meyers racist' on google and it all came back to me. He's gross and vile ...
I love how the people who responded to me continue to bring up his alcoholism but don't directly answer my question .. lol.

He has a history of alcoholism and was in rehab.
ladyfly56 11th-Aug-2012 04:35 am (UTC)
this creepy looking motherfucker
chimbleysweep 11th-Aug-2012 04:37 am (UTC)
There is something so strange about JRM being in a CC movie. idk if it's because people always used JRM for characters in HP roleplaying games back in the day or what.

I think it's mostly the 'we all fangirled Velvet Goldmine' thing.
mellarks 11th-Aug-2012 04:38 am (UTC)
I seriously wonder if this is going to be one of those YA films that has an amazing cast, but flops at the box office or if it'll actually be a success. I think it has potential to do well, but I really hope not.
squirrels_oh_no 11th-Aug-2012 04:39 am (UTC)
I think flop.

BIG flop.
mellarks 11th-Aug-2012 04:41 am (UTC)
I'd like to think flop because I can't see how the concept will translate on screen and Lily's a terrible lead. They've gotten some amazing people in the cast and maybe it'll pick up like THG did in terms of popularity, but I can't imagine the audience this would appeal to, outside of people who like/understand the books.
helholden 11th-Aug-2012 04:42 am (UTC)
I know, right? There are some really amazing cast members that I'm torn.
tigirah 11th-Aug-2012 05:00 am (UTC)
Idk, because I could care less about the plot or the books, but I WILL be seeing it for the cast (due to my renewed love for Robert Sheehan tbh). I have a feeling this will be the case for a lot of people.

But I don't see it being as big as twilight or the hunger games...

soavantgarde 11th-Aug-2012 05:07 am (UTC)
I'm going with flop :|
kurtvonnegut 11th-Aug-2012 05:11 am (UTC)
it'll be 2013's beastly
fairchilds 11th-Aug-2012 05:20 am (UTC)
it is. with the exception of the two leads the casting has been really great. but anw this book sucks.
purriing 11th-Aug-2012 05:36 am (UTC)
Sadly, I think it's gonna do well, ONTD just doesn't want to accept it.

blessedbell 11th-Aug-2012 07:06 am (UTC)
perhaps the director will be able to transform it from a trainwreak to something viable? maybe
derrobitch 11th-Aug-2012 08:43 am (UTC)
part of me says flop, but then again i thought THG was going to flop at this stage so what do i know lol

I feel like anyone who signs on for this project is just....I mean...I can only hope it doesn't kill their careers.

chihaya19 11th-Aug-2012 04:41 am (UTC)
i think he used to be really beautiful but i thought he was pretty awful in the tudors. also i don't like him as a person.
bprorsum 11th-Aug-2012 04:43 am (UTC)
Remember when he was the next big thing?

Then he found meth.
quirkyblah38 11th-Aug-2012 05:14 am (UTC)
not even once
oberstein 11th-Aug-2012 05:43 am (UTC)
Meth, coke, Four Loko; what DIDN'T he find?!
mjspice 11th-Aug-2012 04:45 am (UTC)
