Even if Alex did go blonde for the film people would STILL complain about how it "isn't the right shade" or "it's not how I pictured it" as if it is an excuse to boycott or bash the entire movie. Particularly when said movie has not even started filming yet. I for one would rather a good, capable actress (like Alexandra) play Annabeth than a rubbish actress who was cast purely based on appearance. Besides, thousands of people have read these books - the way one person pictures a character will not be the same as the next reader's imagination. You've totally misguided Annabeth's entire character if all you care about is the colour of her hair.
But really am excited for SoM now. Seeing the cast together again is amazing!
Except that Alex doesn't have Annabeth's hair. It looks ridiculous (and I know it's not her fault). She went through the entire first movie with dark hair, why change it now? They can try to steer this movie series back in the right direction, but it's going to be really hard. I think they should just start over. Whoever decided it would be a good idea to take the book series, use the general idea and make a movie made a huge mistake, and now they've destroyed the chance of Percy Jackson as we know it ever coming to life.
whoa, that was FAST! i guess since all the press releases about the casting have been happening over the past few weeks, i wasn't actually expecting production to start this soon. still, excited! yaaaaay! =3
(as far as alex's hair goes, i don't care either way. the girl would look gorgeous even with snakes coming out of her head-- LOL, see what i did there?-- and i've always been quite satisfied with her portrayal of annabeth so whether it's she's brunette or blonde or whatever, it doesn't bother me).
Has anyone else noticed that if you changed what it says on Alex's blue ball cap to New York Yankees that she looks so much like Annabeth!? (or at least how I imagine her anyway)
