Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief teaser trailer debuted on AOL today. The movie is based on the book by Rick Riordan. The film is directed by Chris Columbus whose credit to fame includes Home Alone, Mrs. Doubtfire, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets. I have to boost that I did work with Mr. Columbus on his not so famous movie 9 Months.
Logan Lerman stars as Percy Jackson, a boy who discovers that he’s the descendant of a Greek god and sets out on an adventure to settle an on-going battle between the gods. Like the books the movie should play to the younger crowd, yet it appears dark. But First Showing reports that the movie is actually a comedy with Sean Bean as Zeus and Steve Coogan as Hades.
If the trailer doesn’t make it clear, Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief opens everywhere on February 12th, 2010.
