I hope this franchise is done right. Lots of potential in the main story - don't know much about the Roman stuff or the Norse stuff that came after

My 9 year read Percy Jackson and the Olympians and the Heroes of Olympus last year, and he loved both series. He saw an article about this last year and has asked me about it at least every other week since then. He will be very excited about this update.

I have no problem with her continuing to play a teenager. Is that wrong?

It's not wrong, but you're getting Disney, not School Girl ****s Part 10.

Really liked the books as a kid, but Riordan came of creepy as hell in that

So they made Annabel, the blonde haired grey eyed girl black? That's even further off than the movie was.

Take from my 15 year old, target audience, reader of everything Riordan, daughter: as long as they get the character right, it's fine: sneaky smart (plays to stereotypes - "dumb blond" in the books), strategic, organized, sarcastic but not mean. She will be happy.

Some small info:

Quote:
The live-action reboot of Riordan's bestselling novels is currently in its second month of production, where it has shot scenes both on location as well as on a virtual soundstage. The latter is specifically Industrial Light & Magic's StageCraft LED stage, the same technology used to bring landscapes in The Mandalorian and The Batman to life. Even with as strong of a foundation as those aforementioned projects, this new Volume is set to push the limits even further.

"Our new Volume stage is an even more cutting-edge version of that wraparound virtual environment, making it one of the most advanced production stages in the world," Riordan said. "We are using it for things that have never been attempted before, creating settings so realistic that if we do it right, you should never be able to guess which scenes were done on location and which were done on the stage."

Sounds awesome. And should make this much more "doable". Aside from the horrible casting and writing in the movies, the inability to get RR's highly fantastic locations right really hurt.
