Nathan Fillon, who plays Hermes in the flick, recently dished to TVGuide about his experience on the set.
“The three young actors restored my faith in humanity of what Los Angeles actors can be like,” he shared. “They were having fun — supercool, prepared and professional. A very comfortable, great place to be!”

Star Logan Lerman sat down with MTV to chat about the much-anticipated sequel and what we’ll be seeing this time around.
“It takes place shortly after the end of the first one, and someone has come and poisoned the tree that protects our camp,” Logan shared. “All of the half-bloods are in danger of monsters coming and killing them, so they have to go on this huge quest in the Sea of Monsters to find the Golden Fleece to revive the tree and save the camp. It’s a huge adventure.”
He added, “There are a good number of monsters. It won’t disappoint. We did see them on set. It was cool. A lot of them were actually in person, things that would be actually on camera that they’ll redo with visual effects. It was great. We had actors instead of a ball or a mark on a green screen.”

“I’m a little more comfortable with the sword,” star Logan Lerman dished to USA Today. “We need it since there are bigger monsters. If you’re going to make a sequel you gotta scale it up a little bit.”
The sequel watches as Percy (Lerman) travels to the mythical land known as Sea of Monsters to retrieve a golden fleece that is essential to saving an ailing magical tree that protects his home, Camp Half-Blood. He departs with his Olympian sidekicks Annabeth Chase (Alexandra Daddario) and satyr Grover (Brandon T. Jackson).
Logan adds, “It’s fun to go back to your old shoes once again and play around, and it’s always fun to have a sword in your hand, especially when you’re doing scenes which involve fighting monsters. I’m still a kid. I love doing that stuff.”

“Last day of shooting on Percy Jackson 2,” the 21-year-old actor tweeted.
Based on the novel by Rick Riordan, Percy Jackson & The Sea of Monsters follows Percy (Lerman) as he and Annabeth (Alexandra Daddario) head to the titular sea to find the mythical Golden Fleece, as well as to free Grover (Brandon T. Jackson) who has been captured there.
Star Alexandra Daddario, who plays daughter of Athena, Annabeth Chase, recently chatted with Collider about the changes made from the first movie to the second besides her hair.
“I was very pleasantly surprised that they decided to make it. Some of those actors [in the cast] are my best friends now in LA. We made that movie over three years ago, which is crazy, and I think the second movie is really fantastic and we had a great time shooting it,” she shared. “It’s just a really fun family film, the special effects and the green screen, and it’s just really fun to be a part of that franchise. I love the fan base. I really enjoy being a part of it.”
Alexandra added, “There were a lot of changes. I think that they wanted to make it as good as they possibly could and maybe they would decide to change out one monster for a different one, and I know they wanted to make it more true to the book so sometimes they were trying to figure out how to do that.”
