I hope the next one is a big screen worthy.

20th Century Fox has revealed the release dates for the Percy Jackson sequel, Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Sea of Monsters. It will hit on Wednesday, March 26, 2013
IF you saw the first movie before you read the book, then it's okay. But if it's the other way around, you would know the feeling of total disappointment. The adaptation doesn't really follow well with the book's plot as well as the facts that are supposed to be a must-have or must-be-defined for the sequel to push through.
After watching it, I really didn't expect it to have a sequel, because of the loose adaptation. But since it will have, I wonder how will they bridge the gap between the adaptation and the book so as to not frustrate those avid readers like me that already finished reading the whole arc of Percy Jackson.
Maybe that's why it took sooooo long for the sequel to materialize. Just my 2 1/2 cents![]()
Too sad.They say it will be released on the Easter of 2013.

pano nila gagawan ng sequel ang Lightning Thief? sira na yung sa first film. pangit ang adaptation.
Big Love star Douglas Smith is in talks to join the next Percy Jackson film. Logan Lerman and Alexandra Daddario return for Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Sea of Monsters, which finds Percy (son of Poseidon) and his demigod friends heading to the Island of the Cyclopes (which, in our case, is the Bermuda Triangle neato!) in order to retrieve a Golden Fleece. Chris Columbus, who directed the first film, is stepping back into a purely producer role on the sequel. Thor Freudenthal (The Diary of a Wimpy Kid) will take the helm, with a release date set for March 26th, 2013.
Nathan Fillion to Play Hermes
Castle star and all-around great guy Nathan Fillion is set to join Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Sea of Monsters as a god. THR reports that Fillion will play Hermes (that fast one with wings on his shoes), the father of the antagonist of the series, Luke. The character of Hermes was played by Dylan Neal in the first film. Lukethe agreed-upon name for all evil youngstersis played by Jake Abel, opposite star Logan Lerman who is returning as the demigod Percy. Also reprising their roles from The Lightning Thief are Alexandra Daddario and Brandon T. Jackson. Director Chris Columbus is taking a producer credit on the follow-up, with Thor Freudenthal (The Diary of a Wimpy Kid).
The plot of Sea of Monsters finds Percy and his demigod friends heading to the Island of the Cyclops (the Bermuda Triangle) in order to retrieve a Golden Fleece. Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Sea of Monsters opens March 27th, 2013.
The Hunger Games co-star Leven Rambin has landed the role of Clarisse, daughter of Ares (the God of War) in Twentieth Century Fox's Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, reports Variety.
The trade says her character is "skilled at battle and a perfectionist." Rambin joins a cast that includes Logan Lerman, Alexandra Daddario, Douglas Smith, Mary Birdsong, Yvette Nicole Brown, Missi Pyle, Nathan Fillion, Anthony Head and Paloma Kwiatkowski.
Thor Freudenthal is directed the sequel. Filming starts on April 16 in Vancouver for a March 27, 2013 release.

Bagay na Hermes si Castle!
Glimmer as Clarisse? I always pictured her as someone big. Hmmm... we'll see.

Here's a fanmade poster i found on Facebook:
Are you gonna give the film series a second chance?
Discuss...
well, the books are really great, despite the poor adaptation of the lightning thief i think we should give it a chance.. I really hope the sequel will be as good as the book...
I haven't read the books but I have watched the movie. Personally I enjoyed it. Not all movies need to have a deep plot, some just need to be fun and adventurous. Don't get me wrong I love movies that make you think (prometheus or inception) but once in a while I also like to watch movies that are just simple and straightforward. Besides with stars like Logan Lerman (teen heartthrob), this movie is targeted for the teens.
I look forward to watching this installment soon![]()
This.
Also Logan Lerman is a fine actor hindi lang siya pretty face may talent talaga. He will be in the Perks of Being a Wallflower showing this year.
Sa mga nagrereklamo about the movie, don't compare kasi talaga madidisappoint kayo. with the first film it is a given na iba talaga ang movie sa book.
so huwag na magsalita pa na hindi na masusundan and hindi na maganda kasi masyado ng iba, dahil in the first place hindi naman talaga nila sinunod ang book. huwag na lang icompare.
Im liking the plot of the movie kasi kung carbon copy lang din pala ng book wala na rin surprises masyado na predictable, hindi na lang sana ako nanuod instead binasa ko na lang ulet since iyon din pala mangyayari.![]()
I don't think people are nitpicking. It's okay to deviate a little from the book. But the biggest mistake of the first movie, IMO, is totally forgetting the series' major plot. Loved HP's movie adaptations. It veers away from the book, yes, but at least you know where it's headed with Harry and Voldemort. Kronos and the 'big plan' weren't even mentioned. It was made as if they weren't expecting a sequel.
Oh, well. They can introduce everything at the start of this second movie installment. Hoping it gets better.
Rowling had set an agreement to the producers that the movie Harry Potter would be very true to the book.
This one isnt. It's irritating, not only minor changes but a lot. Hope they will repair or whatever for it to look and be a worthy as a follow up.
Watching the movie isnt that bad if you dont compare![]()
