JazWares, Inc is the maker of the new Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief action figures, pen, and sword. At Toys R Us they range from $5.99 to $14.99.

The one thing that I did not see was an action figure of Annabeth which I thought to be a little odd.

Chiron, Hera, Medusa, Zeus, Persephone, Hades, Poseidon Vietnamese Posters

When we started to look at the posters we noticed that the Hera poster did not look right. The poster is of Medusa played by Uma Thurman! Weird mistake but no big deal!

I think the Vietnamese poster taglines come out as:

King of the gods: Zeus

Goddess: Hera (who is actually Medusa)

Terminator (Hades)

Queen Hades: Persophone

fish: Poseiden (We need help with this translation. THAN BIEN. See above for accents. If you know what this means please send us a message or leave a comment below)

Uma Thurman as Medusa

January 11, 2010 the Los Angeles Times posted an article about Chris Columbus’ take on Uma Therman as Medusa in Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief. The article can be found HERE.

The post talks about how Chris Columbus, the directer of Percy Jackson, said that one of the main reasons that he took on Percy Jackson was the “sinister appeal” of Medusa. Columbus went on to say that “As a kid growing up, she was the most frightening creature. I remember watching an old Hammer picture called ‘The Gorgon,’ and the original [1981 film] ‘Clash of the Titans.’ They never got Medusa right. For me, she’s not just hideous. Medusa’s history is tragic at best.”

Columbus’ first pick for Medusa, Uma Thurman, know for the Kill Bill movies. Columbus said about Uma Thurman, “With Uma, you get an extra added layer of intense sensuality and toughness.”

We will see if Chris Columbus’ vision comes out in Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, opening February 12th.

Uma Thurman as Medusa

Name: Uma Thurman

Date of Birth: April 29, 1970

Hometown: Boston, Massachusetts

Facts: Uma Karuna Thurman, daughter of Robert Thurman and Nena Thurman, was born in Boston, Massachusetts, on April 29, 1970. Uma grew up in Amherst, Massachusetts, where her father worked at Amherst College. She left boarding school at just 15, already determined to become an actress. She moved to New York to follow her dream. A breakthrough role for the tall, blonde actress came when she played Cecile de Volanges in Dangerous Liaisons (1988). More attention came with the NC-17 rated Henry & June (1990), but it was Thurman’s role in the Quentin Tarantino classic Pulp Fiction (1994) that earned her an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Donning a short black wig to play femme fatale Mia Wallace opposite John Travolta’s hit man Vincent Vega, Thurman earned a place in film history.

What I have seen her in: Batman & Robin, The Accidental Husband

What you might have seen her in: Kaze no tani no Naushika, Kiss Daddy Goodnight, Johnny Be Good, The Adventures of Baron Muchausen, Dangerous Liaisons, Where the Heart is, Henry & June, Robin Hood, Final Analysis, Jennifer Eight, Mad Dog and Glory, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, Pulp Fiction, A Month by the Lake, Beautiful Girls, The Truth About Cats & Dogs, Duke of Groove, Batman & Robin, Gattaca, Les misérables, The Avengers, Sweet and Lowdown, Vatel, The Golden Bowl, Tape, Chelsea Walls, Hysterical Blindness, Kill Bill: Vol. 1, Paycheck, Kill Bill: Vol. 2, Be Cool, Prime, The Producers, My Super Ex-Girlfriend, The Life Before Her Eyes, The Accidental Husband, My Zinc Bed, A Muppets Christmas: Letters to Santa, Motherhood

Who she is playing: Medusa

What I think about her playing the role: I think she will play an awesome Medusa. She for sure has that look, no offense. She played Poison Ivy well in Batman & Robin. I don’t think she’ll fail us here.
