I still don't think it's QUITE Annabeth's hair - but I've tried to work on accepting that Alex's Annabeth just won't be blonde.

Also, I loved Leven Rambin in THG - I would not be adverse to being part of the PJO fam except that I don't know who on Earth she would play...

But otherwise: HUZZAH FOR MORE PJO! :oDDD

About this, Alex's hair was dark brown so it might take time to get to annabeth's right tone. And I had already accepted Alex's hair as is was too, so I don't actually see the point in dying her hair now.

Agreed - they should stick with what they already have. No sense in changing it now, it would be too drastic.

I think it'll be more important in the future movies to distinguish her from Thalia by the blonde (or at least lighter) hair.

Yeah, Mae is definitely more like I imagined - someone stocky and GRRR. But I also am definitely willing to see what Rambin can do.

Most people probably don't even remember what Clarisse looks like, haha. I'm not going to kick up too much fuss over who they cast. People always look pretty and dressed up in their pictures but sometimes in the actual movie you can't even recognize them, so as long as she doesn't come on screen looking (or acting) like a daughter of Aphrodite I won't have any complaints.

True to the latter.

(I love Clarisse. A really really lot. And ship her more than a little with post-Charles!Silene. And I loved that she was a buff lady with a 'tude. Like I imagine Annabeth was a role model to blondes everywhere who weren't dumb like the jokes insist, Clarisse was my hero because she wasn't willowy and model-like. And kicked lots of ass. Even though she was a beast sometimes. That's why I felt it was important. Not so much the LOOK alone, but what the look MEANT.)

Remember the JLaw criticisms after she was cast as Katniss? Like, those publicity pics people pulled...didn't look like Katniss at all. But she dyed her hair and changed up her skin tone, and it all turned out amazingly, looks-wise, I think. Hopefully Leven will be able to do the same!

I love Mae! She would have worked well for Clarisse. However she is starring alongside Logan in Perks as Mary Elizabeth, who I don't really see her as, but that should be interesting?
