Percy Jackson live-action TV series coming to Disney Plus!

Tom Sawyer Island could becomes Camp Half-Blood. There would be no rides in the land. It would be an immersive LARPing kind of land like Forbidden Frontiers at Cedar Point and the Evermore park in Utah.

That would be okay, but it would be really disappointing to not have a water ride built for the land. Like, that's the most obvious ride choice ever.

Fully agree with this, the movies butchered his books. Hope they do a full rewrite and get real actors to play the roles.

Unlike the fake actors that were in the movies.

I thought Logan Lerman, and Alexandra are real actors?

Me too. Someone should tell them to stop being in popular tv shows and movies?!?

Okay maybe actors that can actually act well? Neither was stellar in the movies, and neither has done very much else that makes them any more...Stellar?

 

[Phicinfan]

Or learn to act?

Fifth grade comebacks must be your thing lol. It’s ok, it was a good attempt.

I‘m sure the people that will be hired for the tv show will be academy award level caliber actors lol.

So... you can snark, but not me? Wow.
No I don't expect them to get academy award winners, just someone who can actually act and show emotion would be fine with me.

 

[Prince-1]

Correct.

The books were it and the movies failed big time. I just hope this project can live up to something even close to what the books gave us. We shall see.

I am not going to say that the movies were good because they weren't, but Logan Lerman in The Perks of Being A Wallflower was awesome. If you haven't seen the movie it also has Emma Watson in it and another awesome performance by Ezra Miller.

No, haven't seen it. Did see him in the latest version of the three musketeers and he was so bad it was painful to watch. Actually the whole movie was bad, which is shocking considering all the star power it had.

Disney+ âPercy Jacksonâ Series Could Use Filming Techniques Used by âThe Mandalorianâ

Well, that director's in for an education. It's called "the volume," not "the rig."

And when you use The Volume, you do so only after extensive "pre-vis" in which the film is not only story-boarded, but is pre-visualized in a CGI environment shot by shot wherein the director not only has fight scenes and stunts mapped out a year ahead of time (usually with mo-capped stunt actors) but every scene is pre-visualized so that the CGI team can create the fully rendered environment for the day of filming, but then also be able to add all the CGI bits in post. Filming is then just capturing the acting while the blocking and film direction follow the pre-vis script.

At least, that's how Mandalorian did it. It's hopeful to know that there will be some hand-holding going on here if he gets to use The Volume.
