The first Percy Jackson film was overall a box office success and made some money on DVD so obviously a sequel. For the sequel, the people at Fox got rid of Chris Columbus and today is successor is announced. Its THOR! Yes the infamous Thor Freudenthal who directed film like Hotel From Dogs and Diary of a Wimpy Kid is set to direct. Here is some more detail brought to you by movieweb.
"20th Century Fox has also exercised the option on star Logan Lerman, which means he will reprise his role as the title character. The story for this sequel revolves around the title character and his new friends, who journey under the sea to find the mythical Golden Fleece, and rescue their kidnapped friend.
It is believed that Fox wants to move quickly on this sequel, in hopes to release it in 2012. The first movie, Percy Jackson & the Olympians: Lightning Thief took in $87 million at the domestic box office, and an additional $137 million worldwide."
This might be a disaster. I actual somewhat enjoyed the first film because of a strong cast, some good effects and overall fun time. I do admit Columbus made a mess of a film but Thor is a terribly director. He is also rushed to make this film so I am not looking foreword to see this disaster.
