Demigod Lair

The second trailer for the Percy Jackson movie has been released.  Because the first trailer was only a teaser trailer, this one is a LOT more revealing, and gets me even more hyped about the movie.  Well, enough of my talk... check it out yourself!

...And I bring some more news from the PJO world!

First off, here is an interview with Kevin McKidd, who plays Poseidon in the up coming Percy Jackson movie: http://scifiwire.com/2009/08/rome-actor-on-playing-a-g.php

...And speaking of the PJO movie, a Lightning Thief movie edition of the book is coming January 5, 2010, but you can preorder it on Amazon here. 

Next, we have an article which gives you some more info on the Pjo movie.  Check it out at this link: http://www.thestarphoenix.com/entertainment/Percy+Jackson+next+movie+franchise/1816294/story.html

Lastly, I have some more PJO movie pics for ya!  Go here to check them out.  Most of them are of Logan Lerman (Percy Jackson), Brandon T. Jackson (Grover), and Joe Pantoliano ("Smelly" Gabe).  Other people who appear in these pics include director Chris Columbus and Andrea Day (don't know who she is).  These pics were taken somewhere on a set in New York.

First of all, I want to say sorry that I haven't been updating Demigod Lair in a while.  It's just that I've been everywhere over my summer break, which left me no time to update.  From now on, I hope to update regularly, and hire some staff to help me out with it.

Ok...so, the updates...

Joe Pantoliano has been cast as "Smelly" Gabe Ugliano

Luke Camilleri has been cast as Dionsys

Dejan Loyola as "Boyfriend"

(No picture)

...and Ray Winstone as Ares

They also have casted some Lotus Hotel people, which tells us they won't be cutting that scene from the movie.

Next, they have released a teaser trailer for the PJO movie, which first aired when Harry Potter 6 came out.  The scene in this trailer was filmed only for the trailer, and will not be shown in the movie.  Click here to check it out.  It looks pretty good!

Third, some pictures have been released from the movie by IMDB.  Scroll down to check them out.

Chris Columbus has been getting a lot of media about the PJO movie he's directing.  He's especially been getting a lot of interviews.  Here are three interviews he took about the PJO movie that should answer a few questions you might have:

1. http://scifiwire.com/2009/06/percy-jackson-faces-a-cla.php

2. http://www.iesb.net/index.php?option=com_ezine&task=read&page=1&category=2&article=7085

3. http://www.hollywoodoutbreak.com/2009/07/06/from-harry-potter-to-percy-jackson-another-franchise-for-columbus/

Next, here is a cool summary provided by MortalNet giving yet again some answers to some of your questions:

"Coogan will play underworld deity Hades, and Dawson his imprisoned wife Persephone, who has a flirtation with a satyr called Grover Underwood (played by Jackson), Percy's best friend."

Lastly, the filming has been wrapped for the movie, and they are in the post-production stage of it, according to iMDB.

Oh yea, and if you haven't seen a film of the set, here is a great, revealing video of it.

Hi guys and gals.  Sorry I haven't been updating.  I had finals, and I was studying for them, which left me no time to update. 

Ok, well first of all, I want to say "Happy Belated Birthday!" to Rick Riordan, who turned 45 on June 5th.

Secondly, real footage of the Lightning Thief set has been released.  You can check it out at this link: http://www.bclocalnews.com/tri_city_maple_ridge/mapleridgenews/news/47873802.html

Third, photos of a scene in The Lightning Thief have been released.  You can check 'em out at this link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/eyesplash/3616277100/  ... I'm guessing the pictures are of the Lotus Hotel, seeing there are neon lights saying "I Never Want to Leave"

And lastly, Dimitri Lekkos has been confirmed as Apollo on IMDb.

This is a limited time offer!  If any of you watched American Idol Season 8, you know that Kris Allen claimed the title.  In celebration, I am letting you download his single "No Boundaries" for a limited time.  This offer ends June 5th.  I have also added Adam Lambert's single "No Boundaries" for your free downloading pleasure.  Adam Lambert was the runner up for Season 8.  Again, this offer ends June 5th.
