Hi guys! It's been a while, but there's some breaking news that I absolutely HAVE to bring to you; some may see it as good, others may be disappointed.
The Percy Jackson movie franchise is officially dead.
You heard me. The Titan's Curse isn't coming to the big screen. If you don't believe me, Logan Lerman has confirmed it.
Now, how do I feel about this? Honestly, I don't know. The Lightning Thief and The Sea of Monsters definitely didn't live up to their full potential in movie form, and I honestly don't think The Titan's Curse would have gone much better.
On the other hand, the movies are something that keep the books alive for us. They may not be 100% accurate (or even 1% accurate), but they still have those little moments which are just worthy of Tumblr gifs. (Can someone say Hermes and Dionysus?)
This news is kind of bittersweet for me. It's going to take a while to process, but I think all in all it's better that the books' reputation isn't spoiled by something that isn't completely true to them. I was curious to see how it would turn out, but I guess that now my curiosity will never be satisfied.
**Update: This was a slight misunderstanding; Logan Lerman's quote was taken out of context. The project isn't being developed as of now, however if the movie studio would decide to continue, some of the actors, one of which being Logan Lerman, would be contractually obligated to star in them. What Logan Lerman was trying to say was that he found it unlikely that another movie would be happening.
I read this too, but if you look a little further, you can see that Twentieth Century Fox hasn't said anything, and in all honestly, I believe that Logan Lerman - early in his acting career - is going to be willing to play a part if he is offered one
