The international trailer for “Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief” is out, and it shows the storyline in a much more coherent way than earlier teasers.

Trouble-prone teen Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out school – but that’s the least of his problems. The gods of Mount Olympus and assorted monsters seem to have walked out of the pages of Percy’s Greek mythology texts and into his life – and they’re not happy. Zeus’ lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect. Now, Percy and his friends must embark on a cross-country adventure to catch the true thief, save Percy’s family, and unravel a mystery more powerful than the gods themselves.

Fresh new trailer offers a pretty cool preview of some of the movie’s creature designs. Highlights include glimpses of the watery powers that Percy inherited from his sea god father Poseidon, a very cool sequence in which his teacher Mrs. Dodds transforms into a bat-winged Fury, and a first look at Medusa.
