TMI Movie News: Movie Stills of Simon

We're getting all sorts of goodies this week! First two new character TMI Movie poster reveals and now some TMI Movie stills of Simon.

Earlier this week SugarScape revealed this picture of Simon


With it they had this to say,


Arrgh hurry up August
Waiting for The Mortal Instruments film’s release date (August 23rd, cinema fans) to come around is almost KILLING US WITH ANTICIPATION – but luckily we’ve managed to get our paws on this exclusive picture of Robert Sheehan as Simon.
HURRAY.
OK, so it’s not the most exciting shot in the word, but here we’re seeing Simon at The Institute, looking a bit baffled and dishevelled in the mix of all the otherworldy happenings going on around him. It’s the first big look at the film we’ve had since the trailer was released (which we’ve just popped in here to be helpful).
For those not in the know, The Mortal Instruments: The City of Bones is an adaptation of Cassandra Clare’s awesome book of the same name from her Mortal Instruments series. We follow Clary Fray (Lily Collins) as she discovers that she can see things people can’t, and soon learns that the life she’s been living is in fact a BIG FAT LIE, and she’s actually off to hunt for demons and stuff with a very hot looking Jamie Campbell Bower, who plays Jace.
Robert Sheehan stars alongside as Clary’s best mate Simon, who is generally just a bit bewildered by the whole thing.

Oh I beg to differ SugarScape, it is an exciting shot, because it's Simon and it's from the movie!

Here's the HD pic of Simon, who's played by Robert Sheehan posted.


What do you guys think? Yep, Robbie is the perfect Simon!
