A mythical young hero is headed to the big screen, and Hollywood is literally lighting up in anticipation.
On Wednesday, the world's first "lightning billboard" debuted in Tinseltown to celebrate the upcoming debut of 'Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief.'
In the world of Percy Jackson (Logan Lerman), mythical ancient Greek gods and goddesses are real. Percy himself is the son of Poseidon (Kevin McKidd), while another character, Annabeth (Alexandra Daddario), is the daughter of Athena. In 'The Lightning Thief,' Percy finds himself accused by Zeus, the king of the gods, of stealing his lightning bolt. Percy has to find the real thief, and also save his mother from the evil hands of the lord of the underworld, Hades. The film is based on the first book in the Percy Jackson series, written by Rick Riordan.

'Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief' hits theaters on February 12, 2010.
