Production [edit]
In June 2004, 20th Century Fox acquired feature film rights to the volume.[xiii] In April 2007, director Chris Columbus was hired to captain the project.[xiv] Filming began in April 2009 in Vancouver,[ten] and Mammoth Studios in Burnaby was selected to be the studio.[15] Portions of the motion-picture show were shot at the Parthenon in Nashville, Tennessee, that has a full-scale replica of the original Parthenon in Athens.[xvi] The Lotus Casino sequence was filmed at The Westin Bayshore in Vancouver in June 2009, and boosted scenes of Percy, Grover and Annabeth driving to and from the casino were shot on the Las Vegas Strip and in front of the Fremont Street Experience. Filming wrapped up on the morning of July 25, 2009, in Mission, British Columbia. Additional outside scenes were filmed on location in Brooklyn, New York during the get-go week of August 2009.[17] Digital intermediate piece of work began in San Francisco in Nov 2009.[xviii] Christophe Beck composed the score.[19] Columbus has stated that the bandage was called specifically with sequels in mind. "I think with Percy Jackson information technology was a matter of finding the right cast to fit into these roles, sort of the perfect cast for these roles, because hopefully, God willing, we will go on to do other Percy Jackson films and you desire the cast to abound with their characters".[20]
During production, Riordan was disappointed with the changes fabricated to the story and warned the studio that it would likely alienate the readers of the book serial that it was depending on to purchase tickets. In two emails commenting at length on a draft of the script that he posted to his weblog 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 move a significant portion of the books' readers to go out the theater in disgust long before the motion-picture show ended. He also felt the introduction of Persephone'south pearls equally a plot device made no sense, having no ground in mythology and distracting Percy from his goal of recovering the stolen lightning.[21]

On Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 49% based on reviews from 150 critics, with an average score of v.30/10.

Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times described the film as "standard Hollywood product... unadventurous and uninteresting".[27] The reviewer for The Washington Post thought "the picture suffers by taking itself a petty too seriously. Information technology'south not only that it'south a lot less funny than the volume. It's also a lot less fun".[28] On BBC Radio v, Mark Kermode criticized the similarity of the motion picture to manager Chris Columbus's Harry Potter films, likening it to a Harry Potter parody book and dubbing information technology Benjamin Sniddlegrass and the Cauldron of Penguins.[29] This annotate later sparked a satirical fan creation with precisely that title, narrated by Stephen Fry.[xxx]

Regarding time to come support for a reboot Riordan said, "In the future, if some project actually does go underway, I may non be able to annotate on information technology for contractual reasons, only yous can tell how I'm feeling nearly it past what I do or don't say. Am I talking about it? Promoting it? Sharing cool things? I am probably happy. Am I completely ignoring information technology and never mentioning it on social media? Yeah . . . that's probably not a expert sign. For instance, check out my website, rickriordan.com. Do you meet any indication in that location that the Percy Jackson movies ever existed? No. No, y'all exercise non."[31] [32] [33]
