New PERCY JACKSON Trailer As Long As Its Title

The new trailer for PERCY JACKSON & THE OLYMPIANS: THE LIGHTNING THIEF (did I miss any words, there?), courtesy of  MSN, runs about at about 2:24.  In that time, we get an intro to Percy, an intro to the Gods, talk of a war (hello, franchise), and that inevitable “wooshing” sound that comes with any of these high-budget, Hollywood, adventure movie trailers.

Of course, this is a movie that co-stars Ray Winstone, Uma Thurman, Kevin McKidd, Steve Coogan, and Joe Pantoliano, and, save for a few flashes here and there of a few of them, this trailer offers a severe lack of any of them.  Instead, we get CG dragons, CG winged creatures, and CG ogres.  I guess that’s a fair exchange.
