New Prince of Persia Movie Trailer Is Online
Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer's big budget adaptation of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is slated to appear in theaters in May 2010. The film stars a newly buff Jake Gyllenhaal (Donny Darko, Jarhead) and is directed by Hollywood veteran Mike Newell (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Four Weddings and a Funeral). Disney recently released a long, HD trailer for the film, which has been making its rounds on the Internet.
It's our first real look at the movie, and so far it appears bear the hallmarks of past Disney and Bruckheimer collaborations like the Pirates of the Caribbean series, i.e. huge action set pieces and expensive CG. While we don't know all the details of the plot, it's clear that the film stays fairly close to the original game, which is appropriate since Prince of Persia creator Jordan Mechner helped write the script. Interestingly, some parts of the trailer does show Gyllenhaal engaging in some of the acrobatic climbing and platforming that is the hallmark of the games. Color us impressed.
