Logan Lerman is Percy Jackson

Percy Jackson star Logan Lerman is all set to leave Vancouver International Airport with his mom, pup and two guitars to another filming location on Wednesday afternoon (July 29).

The 17-year-old newcomer plays the title character in Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief. The flick, hailed as the next big thing to Harry Potter, is about a young boy who discovers he’s the descendant of a Greek god and sets out on an adventure to settle an on-going battle between the gods.

Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, also starring Kyle XY‘s Chelan Simmons, Rosario Dawson and Pierce Brosnan, is set to hit theaters early 2010.
