Percy Jackson and The Olympians : The Lightning Thief

[DorkyFresh]

He could do both. I don't think Percy Jackson failing would help his prospects anyways. I haven't seen the young cats from Eragon, Terabithia, and Compass blowing up the big screen.

i don't doubt that he could do both, but the only leading man to play 2 popular leading roles (that i can think of) at the same time is Harrison Ford (Han Solo and Indy). normally an actor can only handle 1 popular character at a time. as for his chances if Percy fails....Logan seems like a good actor that will get work regardless of if Percy is successful or not. those other actors/actresses in those movies you named weren't all that great.

I'm pretty sure they spell irony Robert Downy Jr.

Go Sherlock!Go Iron Man.

touche'...but Harrison and Downey are the exceptions to the rule.

I watched the trailer for this recently and it looks pretty stupid to be honest.

It's okay. I won't hold it against you.t:

I've never read the books, and haven't even seen or read similar stuff like Harry Potter (that's right...NONE of them) or Twilight.

But, I'll likely go see this, mostly because I thought the female lead looked hot in that Yellow Pages commercial she did last year. I'm actually bummed because I wanted to cast her in a little movie project Im working on, but certainly her price will go up and her amount of indie work go down after this films release...

Ah, you can still get her if the script is good. It's not like the movie is going to be soem runaway blockbuster.




And the movie's runtime has been announced at two hours.

Well...the script wont be THAT good...its just a little short film/music video and there's only so much quality you can pack into a 10-15 minute script with part of it following a song's lyrics...though it looks like we'll have a pretty big name effects guy directing it, so who knows...

Cool! So if you make it big, can I say I know you?

I got to be honest guys. The movie just looks like these dime a dozen fantasy Harry Potter wannabes/knockoffs we seem to see every quarter.

Seeker Dark is Rising, Golden Compass, Cirque du Freak, Bridge to Terabithia, Spiderwick Chronicles, etc. All those movies based on "popular" book series and they all bombed horribly.

 

[xwolverine2]

why have they refrained from showing uma thurman as medusa?

i figure she might look as awful as she does on the crappily photoshopped poster lol

im still watching this garbage anyways... nothing but mediocre movies have been coming out recently..this one at least has a bunch of cg to look at lmao

 

[Project862006]

Wolfman comes out same day so choose that

Woah. These movies are terrible all on their own.

That's like saying every superhero movie is just Spiderman redux every summer. Hero learns responsibility. Has trouble with the girl/woman in his life. Villain rises and is defeated.

ahhh nvm then... lol

 

[Mace Dolex]

This movie is made obviously for kids but the more I see the previews the more I'm convinced that this Logan Lerman kid might do good for the Spider-Man reboot.

I just realized Pierce Brosnan and Sean Bean are in this and they were in Goldeneye too, Rosario Dawson can be sitting on the toilet and still look hot.

 

[terry78]

Just pay for one and theatre hop into the other.

 

[craigdbfan]

Might watch this movie for one reason only.

1.) The Last Airbender Trailer #2

[spider-neil]

logan lerman for spider-man, if percy jackson has to tank for that to happen then let it tank (and I'm a PJ fan but I'm a spidey fan first and foremost).

 

[craigdbfan]

I'd see it for that reason if he was already casted for the reboot.

Otherwise your seeing a rather "meh" looking adaptation for no real reason.

 

[SuperBatman]

I really doubt they will cast Logan as Spiderman anyway. Don't get me wrong I think they will think hes just to young for him to be Peter Parker than again they are going back to High School so really he is the right age. Who knows though.

I don't really understand this line of thought. Actors get more work when their movies succeed not fail, unless your Nic Cage.

I mean, nothing is guaranteed either way, but for a studio looking at a huge reboot, someone that has successfully opened a movie to the target demo they want is probably more appealing. Otherwise, no one would even be mentioning Robert Pattinson except as a joke. Efron is okay from what I hear, but it's the same logic.
