www.moviefone.com/insidemovies/2009/07/14/is-percy-jackson-the-next-harry-potter/VIDEO attached to article Is Percy Jackson the Next Harry Potter? Hmm ... a movie with a ridiculously long title featuring a boy hero based on a children's fantasy novel series -- sound like anyone we know? ('Harry Potter,' we're looking at you.) The upcoming 'Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief,' due out in Feb. 2010, is adapted from 'The Lightning Thief,' the first novel in the 'Percy Jackson & the Olympians' series by Rick Riordan. Its young leading man, Percy, discovers that he's the son of a Greek god ... and the adventure begins. 'Harry Potter' is sort of winding down -- the books are done, there are only three movies left (including 'Half-Blood Prince'), so studios are vying to find a massive blockbuster franchise to fill the quickly approaching void. The 'Narnia' movies fared well, but didn't quite hit that sweet spot; the 'Golden Compass' adaptation failed miserably to set up its franchise as a hit movie series. Will 'Percy Jackson & the Olympians' rise where others have fallen? Only time will tell, but it does have a leg up on the others -- the flick's directed by 'Potter' alum Chris Columbus. That's gotta help. Watch the exclusive teaser trailer and let us know if you think it's got the right stuff to fill 'Harry''s robes, or if you've got an idea for a fantasy series that might be the next big thing. guys this video is viewable in the US only Trailer release with new Harry potter movie

Oh, so at least the Olympians Mount is normal and not modern!!!
Will 'Percy Jackson & the Olympians' rise where others have fallen? We hope it for Kevin!!

Actually if you have read the book (and by the way Kevin scene is a bit longer than the snip Genius posted) but when Percy gets out of the lift he is on his way to meet Posidion ....if only they let the clip run a bit longer

I haven't read the book but know how Kevin's character fits in. I have to say, it looks pretty impressive from that trailer.

I hope that Poseidon's face has not to be a surprise, but I don't think so. At least a photo....

Just as a point of interest, that trailer is a bit short for what's usually seen in a theater. We'll be going to Harry Potter on Saturday. If anyone else gets to see the trailer in the theaters before then I would be happy to hear thoughts. If not, then I'm hoping to have something more to say in this thread after I see it
Guess I'll have to read the books after Outlander. FTR, I agree about Narnia and The Golden Compass. The former was just overdone with special effects. The latter was too plodding. Good story in book form.

This is a great scene, but they have put in the trailer a scene near to the end: I hope that the rest is not boring or painful! LOL Marcy, I hope that you are right. I'd like to see Kevin even in a trailer. He's Poseidon!!!!

Great work ! Love how they made the statues resemble the actors. We've known all along KMK is a Greek god. Sean Bean definitely is not....

Well, even Sean Bean and Pierce Brosnan are charming, but there is no comparison with Kevin McKidd, our Greek God par excellence!!!
