Alexandra Daddario has signed on to star in Chris Columbus' upcoming adventure "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief."

The Hollywood Reporter says Daddario joins Logan Lerman and Brandon T. Jackson. The project is based on Rick Riordan's children's book; the first of five novels.

The story follows Poseidon's half-human son Percy, who sets out to prevent a war between gods in modern America. The trade says Daddario plays Athena's daughter Annabeth.

Columbus, who also helmed two of the "Harry Potter" films, wrote the screenplay with Craig Titley.

Daddario's acting credits include "The Squid and the Whale" (a film I loved) and "The Hottest State" (a film I mildly enjoyed).
