News: Chris Columbus "changing" Lightning Thief movie

[H S]

In an interview with IESB, Lightning Thief movie director Chris Columbus said he's "changing the books. I wouldn't say significantly, but we're able to change them a little bit." I don't know what those changes are, but I hope the movie will still be true to the story and themes in the Percy Jackson books. One of the reasons that Columbus gave for the changes is to lessen any resemblance to Harry Potter. Columbus was involved in the making of three of the Harry Potter movies.
