Percy Jackson Movie News!!!!

Hello Girls,
So, unfortunately the BOYS broke this first but, I had to put an update on here. Being the resident actress!

The Casting for The Lightening Theif movie came out last week.

I hope you girls have read it! In my opnion, the Percy Jackson and The Olympians series, is the best series to come out in a long while!

Here is the casting for The Lightening Thief Movie so far:

Sean Bean as Zeus








Kevin McKidd as Poseidon









Melina Kanakaredes as Athena







Alexandra Daddaris as Annabeth







Pierce Brosnan as Chiron




Brandon T. Jackson as Grover







Uma Thurman as Medusa






And Last, but not least.....




Logan Lerma as Percy Jackson





I think the best part about this casting is that alot of these people are not the most well known! To me that makes watching a movie so much more interesting!

What do you all think?

Ms. Leah

i think this movie will be very bad. u know why?? coz they're changing loads of things from the book. like the characters are going to start off as 18 which doesn't make sense coz the prophecy happens when he's 16....they're ruining the b awesome books and the worst thing is: rick riordan's not putting a stop to this madness!!!!!!!!

mohrXD said...

it doesn't make any sence if they will start at 18 > < what abuot the prophecy???
it doesn't matter if the movie is gonna be graet or bad..... the books will still be much better so i don't think they're runing them but i want to see how will they do that....
p.s (1)
did you read the last olimpian?

p.s (2)
sorry it took me alot of time to review....

how are you a fan of the series if you call annabeth, annaBELLE? and this series could go two ways. A) eragon or B) harry potter. In other words: bad or good

It's annabeth not annabelle but that was helpful. Thanks!

mohrXD said...

Hi It's me again....
the cast isnt exactly how i pictured the characters but it could be worse....
Where did I write annabell?

You wrote Annabelle right next to her picture

Half of you are right, the other half are soooooooooo wrong. I thimd that the casting is okay for everyone but Annabeth and Grover. Imagine that 2 of the main characters. Everyone else is alright. I heard somwhere that they were recasting Annabeth. Is that true? Some people know who is going to play the Di Angelo's. Do you?

And, honestly, Annabelle (it's Annabeth)

I think that the girl playing Annabeth is to old, I hope they make her look like Annabeth's age. Also some of the cast needs to gain a little wait for theie parts. But I love who was picked for the parts.

Quite frankly, I think the actors for Percy, Annabeth, and Grover were bad choices because they're way too old. Logan Lerman is like, seventeen.

I Wonder who is going to play Ares...

I think that the characters that you picked for the gods are REALLY bad.

So, I know every one is upset about a 23-year-old being cast as a 12-year-old, when she looks nothing like the character, but honestly. Have you ever heard of hair dye, colored contacts, and movie editing to make people look younger? It is possible for some people to look a lot younger than their age. And judging from most of Alexandra Dredario's pictures, I wouldn't guess that she was 23 unless I already knew. I believe they can pull it off; after all, they are the professionals.

i think that sally jackosn was really badly cast too....she is supposed to be waaay prettier. this lady looks as if she's never heard of shampoo!

I hope the director doesn't actually change their ages to eighteen, that wouldn't make sense. But I think Logan Lerman can look/act like he's fourteen-ish. I don't like Anaabeth at all and Grover could be better...
If the movie sucks I'm going to be so sad this is the best series ever.

Styx_Not_Sticks said...

I guess we all just have to live with the cast, and hope for the best. I love the books, and I hope that I will at least LIKE the movie.

mohrXD said...

I just saw the trailer for 'The Lightning Thief' during the Harry Potter midnight release and popcorn, literally, flew out of my hand. I screamed. Haha Percy Jackson is really well-cast! well, except for his age. Logan Lerman was awesome in '3:10 to Yuma,' though! Blech, i think Grover is the one that's the worst. I really hope it turns out great!

Anonymous said...

The movie looks good but.. I HATE the cast. They don't even look like the characters! I saw a video where someone pick there own cast. And it looked a lot better!

Anonymous said...

hi i love percy jackson! he is cute

~omega~ said...

i think the cast is pretty good (esp. percy) except for alexandra daddario as annabeth and that other guy as grover. they are both waaaayy to old for the parts! at least logan lerman looks pretty young. oh and i saw a movie pic, and they didn't give alexandra blonde hair! what the heck? annabeth is totally supposed to be a blonde.
otherwise, i think the movie will be totally awesome. logan lerman is super cute too! :) when i saw the movie trailer at the harry potter 6 movie i screamed PERCY JACKSON! which got me a lot of weird stares haha. i was so excited i had tears in my eyes! seriously, though, i am counting down the days until its released. luckily i am off school the day it comes out, so i think i am gonna see it at midnight! does anyone think the theaters will have a midnight premiere for it? that would be spectacular!!!!!!!
