Oh my. It looks like they are making Rick Riordan’s young adult fantasy series into a movie, coming out this February. Percy is a twelve year old with ADHD who just happens to also be the son of Poseidon. Think Harry Potter but with more ancient mojo!

I have to say, I was totally sold by the cover of THE LIGHTNING THIEF. The sneaker with bird wings is just a genius touch. Now I just have to hope that the movie doesn’t suck. It’ll be out in February 2010!

As an author of Greek myth-inspired fiction, it tickles me to see this, and I will probably receive it with the open arms of a fetishist, but the trailer looks promising. Check it out!
