00:00 What you see here, they are not fiction.
00:04 A couple of years ago in third grade, I started reading Percy Jackson.
00:09 They are not fantasies.
00:11 I've been imagining that world and actually being here is the weirdest thing ever.
00:16 Something powerful is at work here.
00:18 I can't wrap my head around the fact that I get to be in something that I look up to so much.
00:23 Today feel like a winning kind of day to you?
00:28 The fans are going to love the show.
00:30 Because it is very, very close to the books.
00:33 There's just subtle minor changes.
00:36 Perseus, that's me.
00:38 In terms of updating the story, it was important that I looked at it again with fresh eyes
00:44 and made sure that the story was speaking to all kids
00:48 and that everyone could look at this series and see themselves.
00:52 After all, that's why I wrote the book in the first place.
00:56 Heroes, it's time.
00:58 A lot of the adaptation process was the imagination of things behind the words
01:02 to flesh out the story on screen.
01:04 And you're just putting the best artists together to make sure that this succeeds
01:10 in the imagination of kids around the world wanting to see this come to life.
01:15 I've been imagining it in my head since third grade and actually seeing it is surreal.
01:21 It's exactly how I imagined it.
01:25 It's amazing.
