Epic, fantasy-adventure Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief will bring Greek mythology to life this summer when its released on DVD and Blu-ray on the 5th July.

Jackson; Fast and Furious, The Day the Earth Stood Still), Percys journey brings him face-to-face with furys, centaurs, minotaurs and all-manner of other mythical creatures.
