Percy Jackson and the Olympians: the Lightning Thief Premiere

The movie “Percy Jackson and the Olympians: the Lightning Thief” held its premiere last night in New York City at the AMC Lincoln Square 13. In the movie, a young boy named Percy tries to avert a war between the Greek Gods in modern times. In real life, never mind the mythological gods and monsters in the film, “Percy’s” chief opponent may be far more daunting: the sci-fi film “Avatar,” which has been No.1 at the box office for weeks.


The showing drew the stars of the film, including Brandon T. Jackson, Alexandra Daddario, Logan Lerman (who plays Percy) and Pierce Brosnan (who plays a centaur-teacher named Chiron).

The movie, directed by Chris Columbus, is a Harry Potter-style adventure that follows a fellowship of young adventurers who go on a quest, facing down creatures like Medusa and the minotaur. In the movie, Mount Olympus can be reached through an elevator in the Empire State Building and the entrance to Hades is located behind the Hollywood sign in Tinseltown.
