The trailer for Disney's Jerry Bruckheimer movie "Prince of Persia" hit the Web like a sandstorm today. Let's take a look at what we got:
We got a very busy trailer where the camera never stops moving, the images are coming at you fast and furiously while a voice-over is explaining the plot, lots of leaping, snippets of slo-mo all over the place, special effects galore and Jake Gyllenhaal with a British accent.
I don't know about you, but I'm exhausted just watching two minutes of this; the idea of spending two hours of what seems at this stage like "The Pirates of the Caribbean" sequels in the desert is making my head spin.
I hope the next trailer shows some heart.








I've been upset over this movie, way back when they first announced JG was playing the prince, and the little bit of footage I've seen doesn't change that. I guess it's like when you read a good book then see the movie and it's nothing like the book, well "The Sands of time" is one of my favorite videogames of all time and the story was excellent, it was actually written where the writers of the movie could of just copied that script and started recording, but it seems they just took one aspect of the game and went from there, so I guess no matter how the movie turns out when it's released next year its going to be wack in my eyes. But maybe Ubisoft will just do a remake of the original game for the PS3 or 360 with updated graphics then Ill be happy again :)

I thought the trailer was excellent and it got me quite interested in this project.

Would it really have been that terrible to actually cast someone even remotely middle-eastern person in this role? It is called prince of PERSIA after all....

Hi Guy's,
