I found some Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters set photos today that I didn’t publish of Geek God Nathan Fillion filming his role as Greek god Hermes, dressed as a UPS courier in shorts. I’d been in such a hurry to upload photos of Fillion meeting fans in late April that I forgot about my photos of him doing scenes with Logan Lerman’s demi-god Percy Jackson, Alexandra Daddario’s demi-god Annabeth and Douglas Smith’s cyclops Tyson.
Those of us standing outside the prop The UPS Store at Pender & Abbott in downtown Vancouver couldn’t see much inside but clearly Logan Lerman had a great time shooting the scene with Nathan Fillion. Percy Jackson and pals cross Pender (dressed as Monroe St NW in the District of Columbia), enter The UPS store and line up at the counter to pick up a package which will give them what they need to head into the Sea of Monsters to find the mythical golden fleece and save Camp Half-Blood from attack, the second in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians franchise
The Percy Jackson sequel wraps filming in Vancouver this Saturday as production moves down to New Orleans to film Sea of Monsters scenes on the Gulf Coast. So I’m working on a wrapup of the two-month shoot here for my #YVRShoots series. For Logan Lerman fans, the highlight had to be the two to three weeks of filming in Robert Burnaby Park in Burnabyon the Camp Half-Blood sets. And for us older Nathan Fillion fans, the highlight had to be his cameo as a UPS courier (see the latest on Fillion in Parade’s cover story).
That’s Fillion inside behind the counter.
And here’s Logan Lerman laughing with Nathan Fillion on set.
