Action! at the Percy Jackson Movie Set
Seriously, the kids at the Scholastic Kids Press Corps
are like the luckiest people ever! First Danielle A. met Daniel Radcliffe and other
stars on the red carpet event for the Harry
Potter and the Half-Blood Prince movie premiere.
Now I hear that Grace C. spent a day visiting the set of the Percy Jackson
movie! The movie is being filmed in Vancouver, Canada,
and will be in theaters February 12, 2010. Read Grace's post in the Kids
Press Corps Blog to find out all about her experience on the set.
How amazingly cool! The movie, based on the book The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan, is about a boy named Percy who discovers that he is a demi-god — his mother is human, but his father whom he never met, is the god Poseidon. Pretty intense, and then he discovers that his best friend, Grover, is also a mythical creature, a satyr —half human, half goat! (That's him in the pic.) Things just keep getting stranger, and Percy and his friends end up on a wild cross-country adventure involving gods, goddesses and mythical monsters.
It's a really great book, so if you haven't read it yet, you definitely should! There are five books in the Percy Jackson series so there is plenty of reading to keep you busy until next February when the movie comes out!

Omigosh! I never heard that The Lightning Thief was being made into a movie! I just started the series not too long ago off a suggestion from my cousin and LOVE it. Now it's being made into a movie? Just wait until I tell her. Omigosh!

Awwww! Sooo lucky!
I hope the movie doesn't turn into a total flop, or at least stays extremely close to the book. But it seems like they're already ruining Annabeth. :(

I cannot wait for the movie! Seeing as a director from the movies Harry Potter 1 and 2, Chris Columbus, is directing it, I'm sure it'll be mind-blowing! YAY! I loved the books too! They were awesome!
