Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief is looking good. I like the special effects and it seems the characters play well off each other well. I like Pierce Brosnan’s character. I am not sure who he is, but it’s a stretch for Brosnan and he does a good job.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief Trailer #2 looks better than Trailer #1, but the film still seems dorky. The feedback that I am hearing is that the movie is not following the book, which is loved by so many kids. Christopher Columbus is an excellent director and I hope he can pull this one off. My fingers are crossed.

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.

The Greek gods seem to have cast their spells on Hollywood, as yet another mythology-infused adventure is coming our way. In fact, it’s so far in development that they have finished casting most of the characters – two new cast members were introduced today for Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief: Rosario Dawson and Steve Coogan.
An adaptation of Rick Riordan’s best-selling fantasy-adventure book series, the film will follow the world-saving quest of Poseidon’s half-human son, Percy, in modern America.
Coogan and Dawson will play the roles of Hades and his wife Persephone, respectively, with the latter flirting with Jackson’s character. Other cast members include Pierce Brosnan, Uma Thurman, Kevin McKidd, Logan Lerman and others.
It is being helmed by Chris Columbus. The role of Ares, the god of war, is yet to be cast.
