While a series devoted to Percy Jackson is in preparation for Disney +, Rick Riordan, the author of the literary saga, allowed himself to say all the evil he thought of the films. It was thanks to the question of a fan, who asked him why a scene from the Lightning Thief (2010) was missing from the film on the Disney platform, that the writer decided.
I don't know, but clearly it's a mistake. They should censor the entire thing. Just two hours of blank screen. https://t.co/nPq9TPg9Sd

Sacred blow for the adaptation which, it is true, did not stay in the annals of cinema, like its sequel, La Mer des Monstres (2013). Especially since the author has not even seen them! Reading the scripts was enough for him, as he added in another tweet…
Everything will be alright
However, Rick Riordan keeps confidence in the future and in particular the new adaptation of his work.
Well, to you guys, it's a couple hours entertainment. To me, it's my life's work going through a meat grinder when I pleaded with them not to do it. So yeah. But it's fine. All fine. We're gonna fix it soon. . . 😀 https://t.co/YFuk55kGJU

Rick Riordan has also revealed that this time, in order not to let Disney do anything with his work, he would actively participate in the production of the future series. "Buckle up, demigods. The ride promises to be fantastic! Concluded the author.
