Additional outside scenes were filmed on location in Brooklyn, New York during the first week of August 2009.[17] Digital intermediate piece of work began in San Francisco in Nov 2009.[18] Christophe Brook composed the score.[nineteen] Columbus has stated that the bandage was chosen specifically with sequels in mind. "I recall with Percy Jackson it was a matter of finding the correct cast to fit into these roles, sort of the perfect cast for these roles, considering hopefully, God willing, nosotros will go on to do other Percy Jackson films and you desire the cast to grow with their characters".[20]

During production, Riordan was disappointed with the changes made to the story and warned the studio that it would likely alienate the readers of the book series that information technology was depending on to purchase tickets. In ii emails commenting at length on a typhoon of the script that he posted to his blog in 2018, he specifically warned the studio that trying to make the story more bonny to a teenage audience by aging the characters and including some profanity in the script might movement a pregnant portion of the books' readers to get out the theater in cloy long earlier the movie ended.

Am I talking about it? Promoting it? Sharing cool things? I am probably happy. Am I completely ignoring it and never mentioning it on social media? Yeah . . . that's probably not a good sign. For instance, check out my website, rickriordan.com. Do yous see any indication in that location that the Percy Jackson movies always existed? No. No, you do non."[31] [32] [33] He likewise shared in the aforementioned email "The script every bit a whole is terrible.
