The Sea of Monsters Confirmed! Director Named!
After over a year of waiting we have finally confirmed the good news! The Sea of Monsters will start production soon, Logan Lerman is confirmed to return (no surprise there) and they have also named a director to helm this production! Fandango.com has announced that ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid’ director Thor Freudenthal has signed on to direct Percy Jackson #2.
The Los Angeles Times is reporting that the production has now locked down both star Logan Lerman, who plays Percy, as well as director Thor Freudenthal. Freudenthal is best known for helming Diary of a Wimpy Kid and will direct the script from the writing team of Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszweski (Ed Wood, Agent Cody Banks).
With the Harry Potter franchise concluding next month, Fox is hoping to sate the appetite of audiences hungering for fantastical adventure movies with this second Percy movie. Current plans are to move quickly into production and have the movie ready as early as 2012.
This is some pretty cool news! After all this time we finally have the answer to the question that has been in all our minds for well over a year. “Will they make a sequel to The Lightning Thief?” Well we now know the answer is yes!
So what do you think? What would you like to see in The Sea of Monsters? Who would you cast as Tyson, Clarisse, and the rest of the new characters? Let us know in the comments below and in the forum!
