Cameras will roll on the sequel until early December.
City of Bones, which opens Aug. 21, was filmed in Toronto late last year. It will have its Canadian premiere — with some of the stars walking the red carpet — on Aug. 15 at the Scotiabank Theatre on Richmond Street West.
The movies, based on a series of fantasy novels by Cassandra Clare, are set in New York City.
Among the producers is Don Carmody, who has made dozens of films in Canada including several chapters of the Resident Evil series and the Oscar-winning Chicago.
