Jonathan Rhys-Meyers: 'Mortal Instruments' Still (Exclusive)

Jonathan Rhys-Meyers shows off his bare chest under a leather jacket as Valentine in this new still from his flick The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, provided exclusively to JustJared.com.

Set in contemporary New York City, a seemingly ordinary teenager, Clary Fray (Lily Collins), discovers she is the descendant of a line of Shadowhunters, a secret cadre of young half-angel warriors locked in an ancient battle to protect our world from demons. After the disappearance of her mother (Lena Headey), Clary must join forces with a group of Shadowhunters, who introduce her to a dangerous alternate New York called Downworld, filled with demons, warlocks, vampires, werewolves and other deadly creatures.

Kevin Zegers, Robert Sheehan, Jemima West, and Godfrey Gao also star in the flick and are featured in new stills below.
