"Percy Jackson" (vormals: "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief") ist die Verfilmung des ersten Bandes der "Percy Jackson and the Olympians"-Buchreihe von Rick Riordan...
Eigentlich hätte es eine ganz normale Klassenfahrt werden sollen. Aber als Mrs Dodds, die neue Mathelehrerin, sich in eine stinkende Furie verwandelt und fauchend über ihn herfällt, ahnt Percy (Logan Lerman, u.a. "The Butterfly Effect") schon, dass hier irgendwas nicht stimmt. Und dass er sich schleunigst aus dem Staub machen muss. Auf der Flucht bringt er noch schnell den gefährlichen Minotaurus zur Strecke - dann gelangt er ins Camp der Halbblüter, wo die Kinder der Götter leben. Und Percy erfährt, dass auch er der Sohn eines Gottes ist. Große Aufgaben warten auf ihn: Er soll herausfinden, wer den Blitz des Zeus gestohlen hat. Gemeinsam mit Athenes Tochter Annabeth (Alexandra Daddario, u.a. "The Hottest State") und dem Satyr Grover (Brandon T. Jackson, u.a. "Tropic Thunder") macht Percy sich auf die abenteuerliche Suche. Doch den dreien läuft die Zeit davon, denn sie wissen: Wenn ihre Mission fehlschlägt, droht ein Krieg unter den Göttern...
"Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief" - unter der Regie von Chris Columbus (u.a. "Harry Potter und der Stein der Weisen", "Mrs. Doubtfire", "Kevin - Allein zu Haus") - kam am 11. Februar 2010 in die deutschen Kinos...

[...] "Percy Jackson's a very serious movie," Columbus said. "It's comedic, but it's only comedic in a way that an Indiana Jones movie can be comedic. So I think in terms of comparing it to something like Clash of the Titans, it is more of an Indiana Jones-meets-Greek-mythology [movie], as opposed to a pure period-piece Greek myth, Clash of the Titans."
Columbus has taken some liberties with the source material: Maybe not every sequence from the book is in the movie, but maybe he came up with some better ideas. "Just some of the creatures have been changed," Columbus said. "We have sort of a breathtaking hydra sequence that replaces a sequence that used to take place at the Seattle [St. Louis] Arch. Our version of Hades is a little different. There are other changes here and there. Camp Half-Blood is a lot more dangerous, a lot more serious than it was in the book."
Columbus has also cast Uma Thurman as Medusa. On the set, Thurman wore a blue skullcap painted with dots for computer-graphics artists to add her hair of snakes in post-production. Otherwise, this Medusa is as hot as Uma Thurman.
"Well, Medusa has to be extremely seductive so she can get people to open their eyes and look into her eyes," Columbus said. "So she is a combination of one of the most frightening creatures I've ever seen on screen yet with a very seductive voice." [...]

Catherine Keener has joined the cast of Fox 2000's "Percy Jackson," Christopher Columbus' adaptation of Rick Riordan's fantasy-adventure book series.
The books, which put Greek gods in modern times, involve Poseidon's half-human son, Percy, who is on a quest in modern America to prevent a war among the gods.
Columbus and Craig Titley wrote the adaptation.
Keener plays Percy's mother, who has battled to protect her son from otherworldly forces but has been abducted by Hades.
The actress joins a strong lineup that includes Pierce Brosnan, Uma Thurman, Sean Bean, Kevin McKidd and Melina Kanakaredes. Logan Lerman plays Percy.
Keener, who next appears in "The Soloist" with Robert Downey Jr. and Jamie Foxx, just wrapped Fox Searchlight's untitled Duplass brothers project with John C. Reilly, Jonah Hill and Marisa Tomei.
Columbus, Michael Barnathan and Karen Rosenfelt are producing "Percy," shooting in Vancouver. [...]

Pierce Brosnan, Uma Thurman, Sean Bean, Kevin McKidd and Melina Kanakaredes are heading to Mount Olympus.
The quintet has been cast in Fox 2000's fantasy-adventure adaptation "Percy Jackson" as classical Greek gods Chiron (Brosnan), Medusa (Thurman), Zeus (Bean), Poseidon (McKidd) and Athena (Kanakaredes). Aries, Hades and Persephone have not yet been cast.
The film, being directed by Chris Columbus, is shooting in Vancouver for a February release.
Columbus and Craig Titley have adapted the screenplay from Rick Riordan's best-selling children's novel "The Lightning Thief." The Greek mythology-inflected book involves Poseidon's half-human son, Percy, who's on a quest across modern America to prevent a war among the gods.
Logan Lerman, Alexandra Daddario and Brandon T. Jackson have already been cast as the book's lead teenagers.
The all-star casting is reminiscent of the 1981 fantasy film "Clash of the Titans," which showcased Laurence Olivier as Zeus, Ursula Andress as Aphrodite, Claire Bloom as Hera and Jack Gwillim as Poseidon.
"Lightning Thief" is the first of five novels about Percy Jackson and the Olympians -- the fifth, "The Last Olympian," is due in stores in May. The studio hopes to spin the books into a franchise in the "Harry Potter" mold. [...]

Alexandra Daddario has nabbed the lead female role in Fox 2000's "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief."
The actress joins Logan Lerman and Brandon T. Jackson in the fantasy-adventure movie being directed by Chris Columbus. Columbus and Craig Titley have adapted the screenplay from Rick Riordan's bestselling children's novel.
The Greek mythology-inflected book involves Poseidon's half-human son, Percy, who's on a quest across modern America to prevent a war among the gods. Daddario will play Athena's 18-year-old daughter, Annabeth, a warrior at Camp Half-Blood with Percy and potential romantic foil.
"Lightning Thief" is the first of five novels about Percy Jackson and the Olympians -- the fifth, "The Last Olympian," is due in stores in May. The studio hopes to spin the books into a franchise in the "Harry Potter" mold; Columbus directed and/or produced three of those films for Warner Bros.
Columbus, Michael Barnathan and Karen Rosenfelt are producing the film, which begins shooting in Vancouver in April.
Daddario, repped by Gersh and Harvest Management, appeared in "The Squid and the Whale," "The Hottest State" and "The Babysitters."
