Alexandra Daddario Addresses the Harry Potter Pressure on Percy Jackson

Описание: By the time Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief rolled around, Alexandra Daddario already had quite a few credits to her name. She had a lengthy run on All My Children and also made guest appearances on shows like Law & Order and Damages. But scoring a lead role in a Chris Columbus-directed studio film is a completely different ballgame, a project with the power to jumpstart a career in a big way and keep those credits coming. The thing is though, that first Percy Jackson movie also had a lot of pressure on it to live up to Harry Potter standards.

The success of the Harry Potter film franchise was largely responsible for creating a young adult book-to-film adaptation frenzy in Hollywood. The Twilight movies bolstered it and then The Hunger Games amplified it even further. But when it comes to Percy Jackson in particular, the Harry Potter blueprint is the closest match. The 2010 release featured a group of rising young stars alongside some very recognizable industry veterans including Uma Thurman, Sean Bean and Pierce Brosnan. Plus, The Lightning Thief was designed to spark a blockbuster franchise.

Yes, it’s an incredible opportunity, but that’s also got to be a whole lot of pressure for someone making her first big studio movie. While on Collider Ladies Night promoting her new HBO series, The White Lotus, Daddario took a moment to look back on the Percy Jackson experience and her expectations for the film. Check out what she told us in this clip!
