Last week HeyUGuys were lucky enough to get invited along to the press conference for Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. I was there armed with my video camera and you can watch the entire press conference in full here. After the press conference, along with a group of my fellow bloggers and journalists, I was able to interview Kevin McKidd and Steve Coogan (here), Alex Daddario and Brandon T. Jackson (interview here) and Percy Jackson himself, Logan Lerman and director, Chris Columbus (below).
