‘Percy Jackson And The Olympians’ Trailer: Young Demigods Are Set For Adventure In Disney’s New Take On Popular YA Franchise
Like the immortal gods themselves, valuable IP is never truly dead.

‘Percy Jackson And The Olympians’ Teaser: The Quest For Zeus’ Lightning Bolt Begins This December
The original Percy Jackson movie in 2010 got the potential franchise off to a hot start. The cast was young and cool, with hot leads in Logan Lerman and Alexandra Daddario.
