Variety reports that Douglas Smith - best known for his role in HBO's
Big Love - is in final negotiations to co-star in Fox 2000's
Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Sea of Monsters, a sequel to the 2010 film
The Lightning Thief and an adaptation of the second book in the successful fantasy series. It isn't known which character Smith will play, but Logan Lerman and Alexandra Daddario (who starred in the previous film) are reprising their respective roles, with
Diary Of A Wimpy Kid's Thor Freudenthal directing.
Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski penned the script. Chris Columbus, who directed
The Lightning Thief, will produce with Karen Rosenfelt and Michael Barnathan. Below is a summary for
The Sea Of Monsters:
When Thalia's tree is mysteriously poisoned, the magical borders of Camp Half-Blood begin to fail. Now Percy and his friends have just days to find the only magical item powerful enough to save the camp before monsters overrun it. The catch: they must sail into the Sea of Monsters to find it. Along the way, Percy must stage a daring rescue operation to save his old friend Grover. He also learns a terrible secret about his own family, which makes him question whether being the son of Poseidon is an honor or a curse.
Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Sea Of Monsters is set to hit theaters March 27th, 2013.
