My Percy Jackson dream cast
I thought I'd make an entry identifying who I would want in the future Percy Jackson movies. I also named a few people who I think would've been good for the roles already cast/who I originally wanted (and may or many not like anymore). Some of the characters I didn't cast though. Lol, over half of these picks have/had no chance of ever happening. :P Enjoy!
~Main characters~
Percy Jackson; Josh Hutcherson
Let me just back this up first: back way before the cast was announced, Josh was universally accepted by the fandom as Percy. I jumped on that bandwagon. BUT, now I can’t imagine anyone but Logan as Percy; he’s perfect for the role.
Annabeth Chase; Danielle Chuchran
Danielle is exactly how I imagined Annabeth while reading the books. She’s 17, so she would’ve been perfect since Chris Columbus wanted to age up the characters. And she’s a pretty decent actress, from what I saw on her on the finale of “E.R”.
Grover Underwood; Liam Aiken
He has a Grover look to him, does he not? And I loved him in Series of Unfortunate Events, lol.
Rachel Elizabeth Dare; Karen Gillan
A lot of people like her for Rachel, and I really like her too. She’s close to how I imagined her!
or
Emma Stone
I’m more familiar with Emma’s acting than Karen’s, and she has the look.
Luke Castellan; Jeremy Sumpter
Even after seeing Jake Abel as Luke, I still think Jeremy would’ve done a good job too. Sorry, but he’s just Luke for me :)
Nico di Angelo; Hero Fiennes-Tiffin
Dude, this kid was so creepy in Harry Potter HBP. His acting was so good. And I saw him in an interview at the HBP premiere, he’s a cutey too. He’s perfect…except for the British accent :P
Thalia Grace; Anna Brewster
I’ve never seen her act, but she looks pretty fierce.
~The Olympians~
Poseidon; Gerard Butler
He looks especially like Poseidon in the second picture, and he just has a cool look to him.
Artemis; Chloe Moretz
Let’s not forget Artemis is described as looking like a 12-year-old. Chloe’s a great actress, and she’s mature for her age. Perfect.
Hades; Alan Rickman
If they hadn’t made Hades a more comedic character, Alan would’ve been perfect. He’s creepy and a phenomenal actor.
Athena; Kate Winslet
Oh c’mon. Kate’s a wonderful actress, and do you see her in the second picture? So regal…so Athena. And yes I know this never would've happened.
Apollo; Hunter Parrish
Lol, from the second picture, I think you know where I’m coming from ;)
Hestia; Bella Thorne
She’s close to how I imagined Hestia, and she has the look.
Demeter and Persephone; Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel
Look at the first picture. Do you see them looking cool, surrounded by grass? Mhmm.
Aphrodite; Olivia Wilde
She’s gorgeous, and she can act. Nuff said.
~Other characters~
Sally Jackson; Mary Louise Parker
She’s a great actress, and she looks all motherly (and a little like Logan). She would’ve been perfect.
Zoe Nightshade; Jodelle Ferland
She’s a very experienced actress for her age, and she looks kinda ethnic. And she’s close to Zoe’s age (14, right? Or slightly older?)
Bianca di Angelo; Isabelle Furhman
She was awesome/creepy in “Orphan”, and she looks kind of innocent (in these pictures, not Orphan :P)
Calypso; Rachel Hurd-Wood
Rachel would be really good for this role. She has the look and can act.
Travis and Connor Stoll; Dylan and Cole Sprouse
It was either them or James and Oliver Phelps. I prefer Dylan and Cole.
Charles Beckendorf; Tristan Wilds
He’s buff, and he’s close to how I imagined Beckendorf.
Silena Beauregard; Willa Holland
She just has a Silena-like look to me.
Katie Gardner; Lucy Hale
She has a sort of motherly/caring look to her, but can also be kind of fierce. Her face is very Demeter-like to me.
And also:
Maria di Angelo; Marion Cotillard;
I think yes.
Aaaand that's it, everybody!
