International Trailer for PERCY JACKSON & THE OLYPMIANS: THE LIGHTNING THIEF

Stateside, we’ve only received a couple teasers for Chris Columbus’ Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lighting Thief but the international trailer for the film just went online and it’s not just a teaser.  It tells you about the characters and provides a sense of the movie’s tone instead of just the premise (regular kid discovers he’s a demigod and his father was the Greek god Poseidon).  Now whether you think a kid using his iPhone to avoid looking directly at Medusa (played by Uma Thurman) makes for a good movie is a different story.  Either way, the Greek gods are getting their due in 2010 with Percy Jackson hitting theaters on February 12^th, Clash of the Titans on March 26^th, and the highly-anticipated PlayStation 3 game God of War III hitting shelves sometime in March as well.
