Listen up, Marshmallows! The trailer for the Veronica Mars movie is out. Veronica (Kristen Bell) is back to rescue Logan (Jason Dohring) (what’s new?) and to attend her high school reunion.

MOVIE TRAILER: The Mortal Instruments – City of Bones [@MortalMovie]

Cassandra Clare’s bestselling series, The Mortal Instruments is now being brought to film. The first movie, City of Bones, stars Lily Collins, Jamie Campbell Bower, Kevin Zegers and Jonathan Rhys Meyers. It’s another teen sci-fi with a dash of romance (naturally). I have read the books, so as of now I can only agree with maybe half of the casting. The trailer is looking pretty good though, but you’ll have to wait until August 23, 2013 to see the flick in theaters.
