Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters Gets a Release Date!
Studio has set a release date for the upcoming sequel to Chris Columbus-directed fantasy film Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief. More after the jump...
First movie starring Logan Lerman as Percy Jackson was released last year and it received mixed reviews from critics and fans. It had a reported budget of $95 million and it made more than $226 million worlwide. Chris Columbus directed the film, with Brandon T. Jackson, Sean Bean, Alexandra Daddario and Pierce Brosnan also starring. Since there are five books, 20thCenturyFox
has set a release date for the sequel, which is a second book in the series.
Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters will be released on March 27, 2013.
It is still not confirmed whether or not Chris Columbus will direct the film. More info should be revealed soon.
And this is a short summary of the second book:
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

Percy Jackson and the sequel
I wondered when this would happen. Apparently for release next year.
Percy Jackson And The Olympians Sequel Gets New Director And Re-signs Star
Percy Jackson And The Olympians: The Lightning Thief was released last year and did so well that Fox has optioned for a sequel staring Logan Lerman again as the title character. According to The LA Times director Chris Columbus will only have a producing role in the film and will hand over director responsibilities to Thor Freudenthal.
Reports The LA Times:
According to a source familiar with the production who asked not to be identified because of the sensitive nature of discussions, studio Fox 2000 has exercised the option on star Logan Lerman, essentially meaning that the young actor is locked down to reprise his role as Percy Jackson in a new picture. The company has also hired a director in Thor Freudenthal, best known for helming the similarly boy-oriented "Diary of a Wimpy Kid;" he'll pick up where "Lightning Thief" director Chris Columbus left off. (Columbus will only produce this new movie.)
It was earlier reported that Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski(Ed Wood & Agent Cody Banks) have been brought on to write the script for the movie. The source has also stated that the film is being pushed for a 2012 release date.

WolvieCBM - 3/15/2012
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Nathan Fillion will play Hermes in the Thor Freudenthal-directed sequel titled Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Sea of Monsters:
"The star of ABC's Castle has joined on to star as Greek diety Hermes in Fox 2000's sequel Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Sea of Monsters, based on the second book in Rick Riordan's best-selling young adult book series."

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.

I've read Rick Riordan's detective novels. This came out of nowhere and blew up. I like the guy though. It's not a horrible read if your bored, but I've never read any of the Percy Jackson stuff...
