Casting

Here's an interview with Paloma Kwiatkowski (Thalia Grace): Thalia Interview It's short, but the thing that caught my eye was this line: "The audition was her first ever, and after a couple of callbacks, a bit of studio chin-scratching, and a full-costume screen test complete with dyed hair and coloured contact lenses, she was cast as Thalia, daughter of Zeus."


She's gonna look the part!


Anyway, Stanley Tucci is officially signed on as Dionysus! And someone was cast as the manticore, which is weird because he doesn't show up until book three. Maybe a misprint/typo/whatever, but I'm still just hoping this doesn't turn out like The Lightning Thief.

*Edit: The official release date for the movie is August 16, 2013.
