<p>Alex Pettyfer has reportedly turned down the starring role in the film adaptation of young adult novel series The Mortal Instruments in favour of another young action hero.</p>
<p>The 20-year-old British actor, who starred in the 2006 film of Stormbreaker and appears opposite Glee&#8217;s Diana Agron in alien action film I Am Number Four later this month, was in talks to star as hero Jace in Screen Gems adaptation Cassandra Clare&#8217;s best-selling books, but New York magazine&#8217;s Vulture blog reports negotiations have broken down.</p>
<p>Alex is reportedly keen to take the starring role in another potential franchise, in Warner Bros and Legendary Pictures&#8217; adaptation of Joseph Delaney&#8217;s best-selling young adult novel series The Last Apprentice, published as The Wardstone Chronicles in Britain.</p>
<p>Alex would play seventh son of a seventh son, teenager Thomas J. Ward, who is training to be an exorcist in the 1700s.</p>
<p>Oscar nominees Jeff Bridges and Jennifer Lawrence have also been linked to the project, with Jeff being offered the part of the exorcist Thomas is apprentice to, and Jennifer playing a suspected witch.</p>
<p>Alex is apparently a fan of Delaney&#8217;s books and is also keen to work with Russian director Sergey Bodrov, who directed 2005&#8217;s Nomad and 2007&#8217;s Mongol: The Rise Of Genghis Khan.</p>
