La saison 1 pose les bases de la franchise Disney+ : les showrunners en disent plus (Exclusif)
Percy Jackson has been given a new lease on life with a serialized adaptation of the best-selling books on Disney+. Unlike the previous attempt at a feature film franchise, this new series has the luxury of eight episodes per story, allowing for a more in-depth exploration of the narrative. The first season of the series focuses on The Lightning Thief, staying true to the original book while also adding new elements to keep the story fresh. The showrunners, Dan Shotz and Jonathan E. Steinberg, have taken great care to ensure that the adaptation captures the essence of the books and creates a unique viewing experience.
The Adventure Begins
Season 1 of Percy Jackson and the Olympians dives deep into The Lightning Thief, taking viewers on a thrilling journey across America. The showrunners wanted to make sure that the adaptation not only fits into the box of one season but also captures the excitement and adventure of the book. The pacing of the series has been carefully considered to keep the story moving while allowing for the necessary character development and world-building.
A Labor of Love
Percy Jackson and the Olympians is not just another attempt to bring a beloved book series to the screen. The showrunners, along with the studios and the author, Rick Riordan, have approached this adaptation with care and dedication. The goal is not only to faithfully translate the source material, but also to create something that truly captures the magic and experience of reading the books. The team behind the series is committed to delivering a product that will be cherished by fans and newcomers alike.
Room to Breathe
One of the mistakes made in the previous film adaptations was trying to fit too much into each movie. This new series aims to avoid that by giving each installment the time and space it needs to fully breathe. Season 1 sets the stage for the future installments, planting the seeds for what’s to come. These seeds include nods to events and characters from later books, as well as new elements created specifically for the Disney+ series. By taking their time and carefully setting the table, the showrunners are ensuring that Percy Jackson and the Olympians will have a long and fulfilling life on the screen.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians premieres on December 20th on Disney+. Get ready to embark on an epic adventure filled with gods, monsters, and thrilling quests. This is a series that fans won’t want to miss!
