I have to admit – when I first picked up the series, it was at the suggestion of my boss at work! I’m still quite amazed that I managed to actually grow to like something she suggested to me :P Though I suppose it’s all OK, since she’s a big fan of Harry Potter too… and Narnia! Can’t forget good ole Narnia :)
Well, I was browsing around (actually google searching for Percy Jackson but yeah…) and I came across posters for the Percy Jackson movie coming out next February… the 12th, to be exact. I should start looking into buying next year’s planner, I have a lot of stuff I want to make sure I catch. The midnight showing of this is a definite!!
The main character of the books, obviously :P
Annabeth
Percy’s rival/sidekick/love interest… whatever you want to call her
Grover
Percy’s BFF. And a half-goat thing.
Well, you already know what I think of Percy’s actor – the more I see of Logan, the more impressed I become. He fits the role pretty well, and he seems to come into the character well. Annabeth… well, I haven’t seen much of her in action. The actress, Alexandra Daddario, is another nobody for the most part, she’s done some TV stuff (All My Children?! I used to watch that all the time..! As a kid, of course. You know, mother’s soap operas?) but nothing that I’ve ever really seen. She kinda reminds me of Lindsay Shaw, the few shots of her I’ve seen.
Now Grover. Wowwww. I was not expecting him to be black. He’s played by Brandon Jackson, who is… 24. Hoshit. That’s a little unexpected. But it’s actually matching to Grover’s age in the books – he’s like double what age he plays. Or something like that. I always envisioned Grover as being… well, Mr. Tumnus.
Like in this picture which came out with one of the books… Demigod Files maybe?
But I’ll wait to pass judgement on more trailers, or the movie itself! Too long to wait. Heh.
