 PERCY JACKSON 2 Gets New Director And Re-sings Star! Quote: EXCLUSIVE: "Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief" was a reasonably sized hit when it came out in the winter of 2010: The mythology-infused film based on Rick Riordan's bestseller drew $89 million in U.S. box office and another $137 million around the world.
Now a sequel hopes to build on that fan base.
According to a source familiar with the production who asked not to be identified because of the sensitive nature of discussions, studio Fox 2000 has exercised the option on star Logan Lerman, essentially meaning that the young actor is locked down to reprise his role as Percy Jackson in a new picture. The company has also hired a director in Thor Freudenthal, best known for helming the similarly boy-oriented "Diary of a Wimpy Kid;" he'll pick up where "Lightning Thief" director Chris Columbus left off. (Columbus will only produce this new movie.) Clearly, Marvel studios missed out on him.

Re: PERCY JACKSON 2 Gets New Director And Re-sings Star! Really glad the star will be back. Would have been stupid if he were replaced by someone else.

Re: PERCY JACKSON 2 Gets New Director And Re-sings Star! Really exciting to read more updates about this.
Perhaps a Holiday 2012 release?

Re: PERCY JACKSON 2 Gets New Director And Re-sings Star! I think they are planning to release this in early 2012. Not sure if that is a wise idea.
