Thor Freudenthal helms this follow-up to 2010's The Lightning Thief with Logan Lerman, Alexandra Daddario and Brandon T. Jackson reprising their roles.
The film series follow an ordinary boy who discovers that he is the son of the Greek god Poseidon. In the 2nd book by author Rick Riordan Percy and his group of friends set out to find the mythical Golden Fleece and free a friend who has been captured.
Just as Nathan Fillion replaces Dylan Neal from the first film as Hermes, the father of antagonist Luke (Jake Abel) in the sequel--Anthony Head replaces Pierce Brosnan who played Chiron last time out. Mary Birdsong, Yvette Nicole Brown and Missi Pyle will play The Fates, the sisterly trio of mythological goddesses who determine the destiny of all. The Hunger Games co-star Leven Rambin has been cast as Clarisse, daughter of Ares and a skilled warrior in the sequel Douglas Smith also stars
Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski ("Ed Wood," "Agent Cody Banks") wrote the script using elements from other books in the series as well.
Chris Columbus (who directed the first film) and Karen Rosenfelt will produce the pic
The film's set to release on August 7th 2013.
As I have said before-I enjoyed the first film and thought it was much more fun than Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone which I had hard time getting through--never mind the sequels....
I know I'm not even close to being in the film's target demo but I really hope the sequel is as good as this preview suggests. And ya gotta love genre fave Fillion!!
