The Telegraph.co.uk tells us that Uma Thurman will play Medusa in PERCY JACKSON, a modern-day take on Greek mythology directed by Chris Columbus. Pierce Brosna co-stars as a centaur, along with Sean Bean as Zeus. Reporter Tim Walker illuminates the plot:

In a departure from any recognisable Greek myth, the plot sees Poseidon’s 12-year-old half-human son Lerman embark on a quest across modern-day America to save his mother, return Zeus’s stolen lightning bolt and prevent a deadly war between the gods. So long as Mr Brosnan doesn’t start singing again, it’s okay by me.
