After Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief failed to become a massive success, most people thought that would be the last we’d see of Rick Riordan’s boy demigod. While it took Fox a while to decide to make a follow-up, it’s now here.

This time around Percy (Logan Lerman) is living at Camp Half-Blood alongside the other half-human kids with Olympian parents, which is the only place they’re safe, thanks to a protective barrier that prevents the forces that would like to kill them from getting in. However just as Percy learns that his nemesis from the first film, Luke (Jake Abel), isn’t dead, the tree that’s responsible for the maintaining barrier begins to die. The only way to reverse the poisoning is with the mystical Golden Fleece. [Read more…]

March 22, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

percy-jackson-2-pic1 It’s taken a couple of years to get a sequel to Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief together, but Percy Jackson: Sea Of Monsters is now in the can and heading for release this August. The first pictures from the movie have been released, via USA Today, along with some comments from director Thor Freudenthal and star Logan Lerman, which you can see below.

Logan Lerman (Percy Jackson), Alexandra Daddario (Annabeth Chase), and Brandon T. Jackson (Grover), all return, along with new cast members Leven Rambin (Clarisse LaRue), Douglas Smith (Tyson the Cyclops), and Stanley Tucci (Dionysus). The story, adapted from Rick Riordan’s best-selling novel series, follows Percy and his friends on a quest to find a golden fleece, which is integral to saving a magical tree that protects his home, Camp Half-Blood.

Click on the pics below for larger versions and the director and star’s thoughts.

: Director Thor Freudenthal spoke about how Percy and Annabeth’s relationship has blossomed: “They are the best of friends. There is deep affection, but they are not a couple. You don’t know until the end where the relationship is really headed.”

: Leven Rambin’s Clarisse LaRue, pictured between Douglas Smith’s Tyson the Cyclops and Brandon T. Jackson’s Grover, becomes an ally to Percy in this sequel, according to the director: “This is the first movie we meet Clarisse. She goes from camp rival to unlikely ally to Percy.”

: Thor Freudenthal reveals Percy, Annabeth, and Grover have to take covert measures to complete their mission: “They basically have to sneak out of their own camp.”

: Logan Lerman revealed it’s easier to play Percy Jackson this time around: “It’s nice to go back to a world having a knowledge and a background in this kind of stunt work.”

: Stanley Tucci’s Dionysus, the God of Wine, is not allowed to drink anymore as punishment, according to Thor Freudenthal: “Zeus punished Dionysus by not allowing him to drink and that makes him incredibly frustrated. Stanley Tucci does a great comedic take on it.”

Jackson (Percy Jackson) have signed up too.

Kyle Pennekamp and Scott Turpel’s script follows a college graduate (Miles Teller) and his friends who have to lower their expectations about life as they enter the real world during a recession. Nicholas Braun will play the graduates’ perpetually stoned pal who takes a job as a middle school teacher to pay the bills and comes to find his true calling as a basketball coach. Jackson will play another friend who gets work as a day trader and learns that like most people, he has to start at the bottom doing the daily grind and work his way up the company ladder.

Rodger Dodger helmer Dylan Kidd is directing.
