Mile is a gay teenager, who’s out but not feeling vast amounts of angst about his sexuality. What he’s really desperate to do is get away from his small hometown and head to Chicago for college. However, when his father dies and they discover all their cash has been spent on a fancy car for his dad’s mistress, Miles has to confront the fact he may have to put his dreams on hold.

Then he discovers there’s a volleyball scholarship on offer, but he’s got a major problem – his school only has a girls’ team. He decides he’s going to try out anyway, and while his teacher (Missi Pyle) is happy to pick him, other schools are less impressed with their female team having to play against a guy. [Read more…]

Although it feels like they should have already made a Percy Jackson sequel if they were going to, Sea of Monsters is slowly moving forward, with Logan Lerman set to return in the lead role. Now the film has cast the actresses who will play the Fates in the movie, Missi Pyle (The Artist), Yvette Nicole Brown (Community), and Mary Birdsong (The Descendants).

As well as Lerman, Alexandra Daddario and Brandon T. Jackson will both return as Annabeth and Grover. The story for the sequel follows Percy on a journey under the sea, where he must rescue his kidnapped friend and find the mythical Golden Fleece.

Thor Freudenthal is directing from a screenplay by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski. It isn’t known exactly when the film will start shooting, but Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters already has a March 27th, 2013 release date set. (Source: Variety)
