Meet the Greek Gods and Goddesses in Percy Jackson
We already knew that Chris Columbus wasn't afraid to take creative license for the book-to-screen adaptation of Percy Jackson — the screenwriter explained in an interview that in aging the characters for the movie, he started with this premise: "What if we took Holden Caulfield from Catcher in the Rye and threw him into a Ray Harryhausen Greek monster movie?"
In casting what he clearly hopes will be a Harry Potter– like movie series, Chris Columbus sought out relative unknowns for the students and big-name stars for the adult roles. Here they populate the Greek Pantheon, rather than the faculty of a school of wizards. What's especially interesting, though, is that most of these gods and goddesses don't appear until much later in the book series. Does this spell major plot changes to The Lightening Thief? Or is Columbus just setting up the sequels with cameos now?
