Logan Lerman’s latest movie, Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief is doing well at the box office and the actor is rumored to be the new Spider Man in the upcoming reboot of the successful franchise, so what did M magazine ask him about? His celebrity crush of course!

“My dream girl is Rachel McAdams. I saw her in a restaurant once and it was the first time I’ve actually frozen up around a girl. I couldn’t even look in the direction of where she was sitting! I’m a huge fan of hers.”

The search for the next Peter Parker is over. According to The Cineman Source, Logan Lerman has been tapped to play the awkward teen bitten by a radioactive spider who develops superpowers and becomes the crime fighting Spider-man.

The role was widely sought after and lots of stars had been rumored to take on the action franchise, including Kellan Lutz, Chace Crawford, Daniel Radcliffe and Zac Efron. The director of (500) Days of Summer, Marc Webb is planning on this film being 3-D with the technology from James Cameron’s film Avatar.

Assuming this is true: Who should play his sweetheart, Mary Jane Watson?

Selena Gomez? Demi Lovato? Emma Watson? Tell us who you’d like to see Logan paired with.

Logan Lerman is getting used to Daniel Radcliffe comparisons. The actor is the star of Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief due in theaters in February, and the similarities to Radcliffe’s popular role (the title character to a very popular series of hero quest books turned into films,) Lerman is trying to differentiate the two:

“I’m being compared to Daniel Radcliffe a lot these days,” says Lerman. “Honestly, my character doesn’t have much in common with Harry Potter besides the fact that he’s an unlikely hero who’s thrown into a huge situation.”

The actor, who is costarring with some of Hollywood’s biggest talent (Pierce Brosnan, Uma Thurman)  says he is focused on his character but would be up for the massive fame that is potential with this movie.

“I’ve been studying mythology for months, reading about Perseus, Poseidon, Apollo, Medusa,” Logan says. “I don’t know if the movie will reach Twilight levels of obsession, but if it does, I’m ready for it!”

I hope this movie does well. The books are enjoyable and the trailer looks like it will do justice to the novels by Rick Riordan.

The movie hits theaters February 12, 2010. Anyone else looking forward to this?
