Disney's Percy Jackson Show Starts Filming: First Scene Details Teased
The first scene from the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series is being shot today. The Percy Jackson franchise began as a series of novels by Rick Riordan that were originally published from 2005 through 2009, following a young boy who discovers that he is the son of the Greek God Poseidon, which thrusts him on a journey to stop a war between the Gods. The first story, The Lightning Thief, was adapted into a film in 2010 starring Logan Lerman as Percy, Brandon T. Jackson as his satyr protector Grover Underwood, and Alexandra Daddario as the warrior daughter of Athena, Annabeth Chase, who ends up becoming Percy Jackson's love interest. That project got a sequel, 2013's Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, but the film franchise petered out there.
