Cutie-pie Logan Lerman recently chatted with Movieline about the upcoming Percy Jackson films!
The film takes place in the 21st century, but the gods of Mount Olympus and assorted monsters have walked out of the pages of high school student Percy Jackson’s Greek mythology texts and into his life. And they’re not happy: Zeus’ lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect. Even more troubling is the sudden disappearance of Percy’s mother. As Percy finds himself caught between angry and battling gods, he and his friends embark on a cross-country adventure to catch the true lightning thief, save Percy’s mom, and unravel a mystery more powerful than the gods themselves.
Logan reveals, “All I have to say about Percy Jackson is that, from what I’ve seen, is it’s really one of the coolest movies ever. It’s going to blow people away, and not many people know about it just yet. The official, full trailer hasn’t come out yet, and people really haven’t seen anything at all, but it’s really going to take everyone by storm.”
When asked about the film, Logan says, “I’m gonna try to not give that much away, and I’m really bad at that. [Laughs] For me, the thing about this film is that it brings back the feeling of Back to the Future, for me. The feeling, the tone of that movie, is what this is for me. It’s full of iconic action sequences, great actors, it has all the elements and technique put together to be an amazing film. I’ve seen a lot of cut-together footage and a lot of sample effects, and it’s just mind-blowing, this movie. If you want something to look forward to, there’s this insane aerial battle in New York City with Zeus’s lightning bolts, pretty much end-of-the-world stuff, and it’s just the coolest battle scene ever.”
Logan was initially nervous about the cast, which makes up the characters of Greek Gods! “The most nerve-wracking thing about this movie was ‘Are we gonna get a great cast or not?’ I was signed on before everybody else, and what really attracted me to the movie was getting to work with Chris Columbus, because he’s one of the most awesome filmmakers ever.”
