HAPPY NEW YEAR! :D
I haven't posted much lately. Hopefully, this will make up for everything that I didn't post. Believe it or not, this blog turned one year old two days ago! *throws confetti in the air* YAY! :DIn other news, I wanted to share some things about the Sea of Monsters movie. I haven't really posted about it in a while, with the Mark of Athena release and my aftershock and everything, so I thought now would be a good time to let you know what's going on with it. Heck, I didn't even know what was going on with it until I wrote this post!

| Percy and Annabeth. That's all I know. (Source: http://www.fansshare.com/media/content1/550x298_alexandra-daddario-talks-percy-jackson--sea-of-monsters-1505.jpg) |
First: Release date. At first, the expected SoM release date was in March of this year, but it was later pushed back and everyone got confused. According to what I found from a simple Google search, the US release date is August 16th, 2013, and the UK release date is August 14th, 2013.
Next thing... The movie plotline. Alexandra Daddario (AKA Annabeth) stated in an interview that the movie makers were trying to follow and refer to the book a little bit more than they did in the first movie. How much? That's for us to find out in August. Right now, we can just hope for the best. Now, don't expect a mirror image; they're going to have to change some things to fix the mistakes, erm... modifications (as they call them in Hollywood), that they made in the first movie.
Another thing that I read online that I'm not quite sure about is about the film being converted into 3D. I honestly don't think that I'll watch it in 3D if it is in 3D (I haven't watched any of the Harry Potter movies like that), but that's me. I don't know whether or not this is true, but we can hope.
To wrap up this post, I'd like to give you a little YouTube video you can fangirl/fanboy over. Courtesy of my wonderful friend who showed it to me. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcHS40v06QM
I'm not really sure how I feel about a second movie seeing as they messed up the first movie so much which left me extremely disappointed. If I was directing the movie I would go back and remake the first movie all over again. That said if they can get the second movie a lot closer to the book then I might go see it.
ReplyDeleteQuestion: How come on your "Important Dates" on the bottom The House of Hades isn't there?!?! October 1, 2013...that date is WAAAAYYYY more important than all the others combined!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh... yeah. I haven't updated that in a while. Thank you for reminding me! I don't think there's an official date yet, though, is there?
DeleteNo, theres no official date, but like I posted in my Blog, every book has come out on a Tuesday (usually the first of October), and October 1 is a Tuesday so that's my best guess. It's a shame...The Mark of Athena...October 2...My Birthday...October 2...It's meant to be! :)
