The first official trailer for ‘Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time’
Disney has finally released the first trailer for ’Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time’, which is based on the video game of the same name. The film stars Jake Gyllenhaal stars as Prince Dastan ( and Jake’s first role as a Persian). The film also Gemma Arterton as Tamina, Alfred Molina and Ben Kingsley (as the typical bald villainous-type he typically plays).
‘Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time’ is directed by Mike Newell, who previously directed Donnie Brasco, Pushing Tin,Mona Lisa Smile, and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
‘Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time’ will hit theaters everywhere next summer on May 28th, 2010.
For the most part this film looks really fun and action-packed. I still have serious reservations about Jake Gyllenhaal being cast as the prince. As much as I like Jake Gyllenhaal as an actor, you don’t get much whiter than that, and he’s the prince of “Persia”. Was someone like Dev Patel not available? With that aside, this looks like it will be the best video game-to-film adaptation, ever.
