what's tasty and new in show business. [beta]
While earlier trailers only hinted at the story and effects extravaganza we were going to get in Percy Jackson & The Lightning Thief (I guess Fox realized that Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief was too much of a mouthful), this new trailer finally drops the curtain. Not only do we get a better sense of the story’s general trajectory, but we also see plenty of the creatures from Greek mythology that Percy will be facing off with.
It’ll be interesting to see how this film does alongside the more adult-oriented Clash of the Titans. They come out a little over a month apart, and take their inspiration from similar stories and characters within the larger pantheon of Greek mythology. I’m hopeful both will find an audience, as I think you can never get enough variations/retellings of these stories. Can Chris Columbus be launching another monster of a franchise with this one?
Catch the trailer (and an alarmingly young-looking Brandon T. Jackson) after the jump.
