Remembering what we started dreaming about




Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief

Synopsis: It's 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 adapts to his newly discovered status as a demi-god (his father is Poseidon), he finds himself caught between the battling titans of Mt. Olympus. 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.

Film release date worldwide: Feb. 12, 2010

Kuris notes: The film is pretty impressive when it comes to storytelling and special effects. But we love it coz’ Percy’s weapon is a pen that transforms into different kinds of weaponry in times of danger. Truth is, it is similar to our unfinished project—“Lapis: Epic of the lost key.” In our own story, there’s a magical pencil from heaven that can bend and recreate reality, a source of power and imagination. Only a chosen on boy can wield its infinite power and hidden somewhere in the bottom of Tinagong Dagat in Lambunao, Iloilo. Hey, it’s just our imagination but we hope our dream will come true someday. We dream that we can make it into a real animated film. Anyway, dreaming is free.
