The "City of Bones" movie was written too poorly.
This movie flopping had nothing to do with Lily! It was the fact that they either skipped or rushed through important scenes from the book. I read the book prior to the movie premier, and they missed lots of things, so I was disappointed!
The misconception that Lily 's career never took off b/c of this movie is false. The movie would've been a flop regardless of the who the actors are.
