The Lightning Thief Comparision (Book-Movie)

Okay, so everyone knows that the first book in the Percy Jackson series was made into a book. And now they are making a second movie. Happy or Sad? I don't know which one to feel. Because I am a HUMONGOUS fan of those books and I felt like they totally butchered the first movie.

What was the point of the movie? To save Percy's mom, yes. But the whole adventure part was to get three pearls? Hello, if they had used their brains they might have realized that they needed four pearls. There were so many good, great parts in the book and they just totally cancelled it out in the movie. I mean where is the part where he jumps off the building, lands in water and talks to the water spirit? I really wanted to see that part in the movie. And what is wrong with Annabeth? Sure she's pretty, but what about the "real" Annabeth look? Remember gray eyes, blond, curly hair, teases Percy whenever he's around. Instead we end up with straight, brown hair, blue eyes and a look that looks like she rather skin Percy alive. Not once, did I hear her call Percy, Seaweed Brain!

    How did this become this...


Complete opposites!

The other actors were fine, but why are they so old? Annabeth should not be fully developed and Percy should not have a deep voice. In the book, they are 11 years old! So why give them actors who are 19-20?

They don't even wear their orange Camp Half-Blood t-shirts!! And where is the part where this is a small dingy camp for Demigods? Not some rich, expensive loft for young kids? I mean clearly they live in regular cabins with bunks. And Percy was supposed to be in the Hermes cabin, then figure out he is the son of Poseidon!

And can somebody tell me why Percy's shoes don't drag Grover to the edge of Tartarus? I thought that was the whole point of the series. Kronos is rising and that's Percy's first glimpse that something big is going to happen.

The last thing is where is the part where they sneak onto a truck full of animals and set them free? Whatever, I just pray to God, that the sequel will overcome this horribly butchered movie.

Speaking of the second movie... my friend saw the shooting of it!!! They were at this pool/park/forest area in Burnaby called Robert Burnaby pool/park and she just happened to wander by!! Logan Lerman was there acting ans so was Annabeth. And catch this... a think fans were pretty upset about Annabeth, because her hair is blonde!!! Yes! They had the whole set up at the park. My friend got some shots of it, I'll see if I can get some photos...

Okay, that's all for this post. Make sure to check my blog for the next book-movie Comparision I do... THE HUNGER GAMES

City of Bones... THE MOVIE!!!

This is what all of those TMI (The Mortal Instruments) fans have been waiting for... City of Bones, the movie!!! Oh my God, I knew there was going to be a movie, but I haven't thought about it until my friend said it coming out next year. I was freaking out the whole weekend, jumping up and down and screaming to the top of my lungs. And if you know me, that means I'm freaking excited!!! When I got home, I quickly searched the actors. (silence). Even though I'm totally loving the idea of a movie, the actors are not making me that enthusiastic. So far, they only have Jace, Clary and I think, Isabelle. Wait, before we go into detail, I need to tell you guys something. They were supposed to start filming the movie ages ago, except the screen writer took out MAGNUS BANE! I know, big shock for me too. Good thing, many people/fans complained and they made a new script... including Magnus Bane. Whew, thank God.

Anyways, back to the actors. The actor for Clary was actually a good pick. But the one for Jace... ugh. I thought the actor would be Alex Pettyfer or even Lucas Till! But no, it was Jamie Campbell Bower. He does not resemble Jace at ALL. Oh well, we gotta pray it will still turn out to be an awesome movie. Putting Clary and Jace aside, it is rumoured that that Adelaide Kane will play Isabelle Lightwood. I gotta say, she looks perfect for the role. There isn't any say on any of the characters, but I hope Simon Lewis get's played by LOGAN LERMAN!!! I'm not in love with him or anything, but his played the main character in some of my favourite books-turned-movies. He played Percy Jackson *sigh* in, The Lightning Thief, and he played Roy Eberhardt in, Hoot. It doesn't hurt that Logan is cute too:)

Okay, so here are some pics of the actors to play in, City of Bones. And some the actors I think should be the cast!

ACTORS:

Lily Collins, who will play Clary Fray. Lily actually looks like Clary... just imagine her with red hair:)

   Jamie Campbell Bower. He does not resemble Jace. Alex Pettyfer is a better choice. But, you never know, he might be the right choice for Jace. I'm saying this cause when I was googling images, there was a photo of him looking almost like Jace. Don't know if it was edited or something like that, though.

Adelaide Kane, who is rumoured to play Isabelle Lightwood.






















That is all of the Official Cast... for now. Now, let's see who should be the cast, my version. (Though, there might the same characters from above)

Lily Collins as Clary Fray.

Alex Pettyfer as Jace Wayland.

Adelaide Kane as Isabelle Lightwood. Ashley Greene came a close second though.

Skandar Keynes as Alex Lightwood.

Logan Lerman as Simon Lewis.
