Here’s a nice story that shows Hollywood is still a Dream Factory. Paloma Kwiatkowski has been cast as Thalia in Fox 2000’s Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Sea Of Monsters, the Thor Freudenthal-directed sequel. The film shoots in Vancouver, which will be convenient for Kwiatkowski, since she is a high school student there who got the role after her very first audition. She signed for one picture, with options for two more where, if the series continues, her character takes on a greater level of importance. Her reps tell me Kwiatkowski will finish high school, where she is captain of her improv team and will be heading to the National Championships in Ottawa next month. She is represented by Canadian agent Carrie Wheeler, manager Darren Goldberg, and attorney Neil Meyer. Karen Rosenfelt, Chris Columbus, Mark Radcliffe and Michael Barnathan are producing.

Thats nice. She looks a bit like chloe moretz.
I wonder who she’s playing. Clarice? Or Rachel Elizabeth Dare, perhaps?
It says Thalia in the article.
She’s Playing Thalia Grace, Zeus’s Daughter. Hence forth the reason the article said “Paloma Kwiatkowski has been cast as Thalia in Fox 2000’s Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Sea Of Monsters
The smile and mouth looks a little like Jennifer Love Hewitt, no?
I’m guessing, though, that if she has an agent and a manager, it’s not like they plucked her from a Vancouver mall and said, “Hey kid, ever thought about being in pictures?”
She could very well have gotten her representation (definitely the attorney) after landing the gig.
. it was her first audition, and yes, she got her reprrsentation after she landed the role. shes just an incredibly talented young girl who got her first acting job off of her first ever audition. ive known her for a couple years now and could not be prouder
It was her first audition and yes they did plucked her, maybe not from Vancouver mall, though.She is an incredibly talented girl . Her mother and I grew up together behind the “Iron Courtain “, and we know each other since the age of two. I can assure you that Paloma has landed that part due to her talent exlusively .
“dream role” implies landing a role in a movie that’s actually good. not in percy jackson part II.
Yeah, but pretty damn good for a high school kid. Take another Xanax.
She was discovered in her Highschool Drama class. This was her first audition ever!
Since the first one was barely profitable, why go ahead with a needless second?
Cause they want to make money. Since the whole multiple young adult book series thing is gaining traction they are hoping the sequel will be more successful and lead to making the other 5 books there are.
Yes, the Hollywood Dream is alive and well…in every place OTHER than Hollywood itself
She’s confirmed to play Thalia-
The first one was AWFUL. I couldn’t sit through it. And even my daughter complained about them changing things from the movie.
Maybe your daughter could drop by the studio and give some notes on the script.
I hear there is an opening with Scott Rudin.
She got a role in a big-budget studio film after ONE audition? And she’s not somebody’s niece? This kid could actually be good.
shes amazing! one of the funniest and smartest girls i know
i am in grade 8, paloma goes to my school, its great that she was able to do it i am proud of her.
As someone who has actually known her for many years, has done drama and improv with her, AND seen her perform after I graduated, she earned the role without any cheats and strictly through her talent (which she has an enormous amount of). Who cares if it’s the second Percy Jackson. If you were offered an audition in your high school drama class, would you turn it down??? I strongly doubt it.
GREAT JOB PALOMA!!!!!
Lucky girl! I love the Percy Jackson books, Thalia’s my favorite character (after Rachel), and even thought the first movie wasn’t really all that good… well, who’s to say this one won’t be awesome? Also, I would kill to have a part in a movie WITH NATHAN FILLION. He’s playing Hermes, according to my all-things-Castle website. I love him. Working with him would be a dream.
Yeah shes a good actor and all….but I cant see her playing thalia
she looks too innocent and…..nice. Thalia is all punk and goth and stuff…..
ps. im pretty sure this movies gonna b another fail…….but im still gonna watch it anyway
Good for her! It’s hard for upstarts to get good roles. I just hope she can act!
This teenager could be one of the greatest hits in Hollywood because to get a role this important in the series of Percy Jackson and with only ONE audition. She must be wickedly talented. I can’t wait to see her debut in The Sea of Monster!
From the picture, she looks like she could be a good Thalia, just dye her hair and give her some blue contacts. If she landed the roll after one audition, she must be good! How great for her– too bad she only gets flashback scenes in Sea of Monsters, so they had better make Titan’s Curse!
How did she get the agent?
She is acrually very good!!! I like her. (sorry for my english i am french…) I really love Thalia in the book So i hope she Will be good in the movie…!
She’s playing Thalia Grace…. She’s one of my top favorite. Characters!
I Luv her she is such a pretty girl! Her hair is about the right length just dry her hair lil more darker spike her hair a bit add some blue contacts!!! BOOM she’s Thaila Grace MY FAV CHARACTER (plus Annabeth)…….. The first movie was eh I luv the books and also I’m overly obsessed with Greek mythology!! So hopefully this movie will b more like the bOok this time! HOPEFULLY!!
I CAN’T WAIT!! =D
I really hope the movie does well and they put in some Thalia and Luke action!!!
