Percy Jackson movie?

[djaq]

just wondering if anyone had heard anymore about the Percy Jackson and the Olympians movie. One of my friends told me to look up trailers on youtube, but they were all just fans saying who they think should be casted in the movie.

I'm just curious when it would be coming out- and more importantly- who they casted!!!! (ugh, i hate it when people cast the totally wrong actors for big roles in movies based on really awesome books.....)

go on imdb.com and type in the movies name and it comes up with the cast and a bunch of other stuff.

The Percy Jackson movie will come out on Friday, February 12, 2010. If you need any more information about the movie like about the cast, you can go to http://www.themovieinsider.com/m2153/percy-jackson-and-the-lightning-thief/

Okay, I'm soooo excited (I haven't read the book, BUT I ordered on B&N like 7 hours ago!) for the movie. I went on to IMDB and there are a few problems I have with it. The actress for Athena (Melina Kanakaredes). Compared to the ladies playing Aphrodite(Serinda Swan) and Hera(Erica Cerra) she looks a little old in her profile pic. Just something stupid... They'll probably make her look younger. Also, the guy that's playing Percy (Logan Lerman) looks seventeen/eighteen (his actual age), not twelve/thirteen. Of course I'm probably exagerating, but here's the link to the movie's IMDB http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0814255/

On the other hand, Chris Columbus is directing the movie which I'm happy about. He's directed The first two Home Alone movies, Mrs. Doubtfire, the first two Harry Potter movies, and I Love You Beth Cooper (which I'm dying to see!).  He's produced Fantastic Four, Rise of The Silver Surfer, Both Night At The Museum movies, Christmas with the Kranks, First three Harry Potter movies, and I Love You, Beth Cooper. There are others, but I think these are the most well known. So to end this rant: I'M EXCITED!

is it a good book??

[Avvongellion]

Yes it is a veyr good book. I just recently finished The Lightning Theif from my local library. After that I bought the first three books from of course B&N in a boxset. By next month I will have all of them. 6 I think. It is worth it. And now that I know there will be a movie I am excited though I know that I will be disapointed after seeing it, as it is with every movie based of a book, but I cant wait. Thanx for that link by the way.

I heard it was gonna be animated but apparently thats not the case..

As for the man directing the movie, he has quite the resume. I look forward to it..

Has there been an official trailer released yet? Does anyone know?

Edit Ninja strikes again: I just saw the trailer and its awesome!! CG is very detailed from what I saw and I agree that Logan looks a little too old to be playing Percy...but if I may be bold he's kinda cute

There was a teaser trailer before the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince movie. It only showed the scene where Percy is in the elevator going up to Mount Olympus. However, you could tell that the special effects are going to be spectacular.

o_o really? Darnit I've seen that movie twice and I didn't even notice... >_>;

[J.R._BookWorm]

I'm reading the book right now.....

I can't wait for the movie to come out!

[Himeko]

I remember the first time I read The Lightning Theif and Hades made his entrance. In my head I pictured his voice to be the same as the one in the Hercules rendition Disney made.. It made him quite commical...

[Christinewanna…]

I can not wait! I hope it comes out soon or at least information given about it. I love the series so I just hope the movies do it justice. And yes, I hope if the first one is awesome they'll make another one. Hopefully.

ughh i m not too thrilled with annabeth....... -_- ...

but i saw the latest trailer! and i am

SUPERLY

EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!

[Christinewanna…]

Are they going to make Annabeth blonde like in the books....? And isn't Grover white...? Not that there's a problem, don't think me racist, I just don't see why he's not white...? Poor Uma Thurman...she has to be Medusa. Is that an insult lol? Wait! Where's Ares' daughter and Percy's "enemy at camp"?! I don't see her on the casting list at all. Grrrrr
