Fox 2000 has bought the film rights to Rick Riordan's children's book
Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief for studio-based Maverick Films to produce, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The project centers on Greek god Poseidon's 12-year-old half-human son, who sets out on a quest across modern-day America with the huge tasks of saving his mother, returning Zeus' stolen lightning bolt and preventing a war between the gods.
