Logan Lerman & Brandon T. Jackson Cast in PERCY JACKSON

Logan Lerman, Brandon T Jackson

Logan Lerman and Brandon T. Jackson have been cast in PERCY JACKSON, a new Chris Columbus movie based on the series of books “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” by Rick Riordan.

Percy Jackson tells the story of a boy, Percy, who discovers he is the son of a Greek God.

Logan Lerman will play Percy and Brandon T. Jackson will play his best friend Grover, as satyr.

It seems that Percy Jackson will be based on the first book of the series, “The Lighting Thief” (do I sense a change of title could eventually happen?)

The funny thing is that I am in the middle of reading these books. I finished reading “The Lighting Thief” and am now currently reading book number 2, “The Sea of Monsters.” So far I am really loving these books and it’s no surprise that they are making a movie out of them. There is a sort of Harry Potter feel to them, except that now it’s all about Greek mythology. Can’t wait to see how it all comes out on the big screen.

Percy Jackson is scheduled to be released on February 12, 2010.

  • Madeleine

    i think they got a good Percy but i am dissapointed with Grover

  • KT

    Grover is not what I describe at all. I was thinking Grover should be white skin, red hair, and looks like a teenager. But it’s the their choice of casting. But I hope its good. For Percy, looks too old. They should have a 13 year old kid playing Percy. But this actor does have some of the looks of what I describe. Well lets see if it is a success movie.

    wow, i like the guy they picked for percy but it looks like they screwed up everyone else, since when is annabeth brunnette and grover black? come on the guys 20

    I love this book series and I’d just hate to see it all screwed up because of how the actors and actresses look. I agree that they got the right Percy and the wrong Grover. Grover will be the only black guy in the movie as I hear.
    Annabeth should be a blonde too.
    I HATE it when producers change the story of an AWESOME book. If they make the rest of the series it won’t play out right like it’s suppose to, cause Percy is 17 and suppose to be 13. What are they gonna do for The Last Olympian for Percy’s 16th birthday ??? They just CAN’T screw this movie up because I love GREAT stories like this one and you can’t change a story just so you can bring it to life on a screen and make money off of screwing it up.
    I’m really looking forward to this movie and if they make the whole series.

  • john dilley

    Im a nobody BUT I realy like these books and I read alot well every thing I can get my hands on and I think for percy thay need a younger thiner kid a nobody some one new! as for grover I think the guy that played mr. tumnus in the narnia movie would be good for him. now annabeth is a nother story I thing she should be young maby younger than percy she should be (im not trying to be dirty) thin with long blond hair and an attitude. as for the rest I think there doing good

    i think the cast is so awesome but i do think everyone is a little to old
    for there charcter. also so what if grover is black it
    dosen’t matter and maybe some people are going overboard
    with this cast thing
    i would love to watch the movie because i know all
    the cast peps are going to
    be great i am
    counting on it and can’t wait till i see all the comedy
    in the video it going to be a blast
    i lovvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeee the percy jackson book series

  • clare

    excuse me, but are you freaking out of your mind!!!! A LITTLE too old for their character??? The WOMAN playing Annabeth is 23!!! And Percy is 17!!! Though Logan Lerman is so extremely beautiful and he was great in 3:10 to Yuma, which is an awesome movie. And, no offense, but Grover is described as a white kid with brown, curly hair; like Nick Jonas before he got his new hair cut. Plus, Annabeth has blonde hair and doesn’t even say that she remotley likes percy in lightning theif, it says that she has feelings for him in the most recent trailer. Hhhhhhhh, Okay i say that they choose th WRITER of the book to do casting and help, A LOT, with the director cause this sort of stuff happens a lot with movies like Harry Potter and Twilight. Rob Pattison is not pretty and some of the stuff they do in harry just makes me mad.
    Don’t get me wrong I’m still gonna see it, but I heard that they’re smushing all of the pj and the olympians into one movie and that ruins all of the details which show the bond between annabeth, percy, grover, tyson, and all of the other camp half blood campers. In the book its played out like a family not some dramatic hairball that it looks like from the trailers.
