Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time Trailers

jake-gyllenhaal-the-prince-of-persiaNext year will see the release of the Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer production of Prince Of Persia: The Sands of Time. Based on the popular videogame and starring Jake Gyllenhaal sporting a British accent, Disney has huge hopes for this adaptation. Could it be as lucrative as the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise?

After watching the three new trailers (two international and one US) I am still in two minds about this one. While it looks very expensive I can’t help but find Gyllenhaal just slightly miscast.

The story will loosely follow the plot of one of the later games in the series as our hero finds a dagger that gives him the ability to turn back time with magic sand. He must get it back to its rightful owners before the evil Ben Kinglsey uses it to destroy the world.

Directed by Mike Newell the film has Jake and Sir Ben starring with support by Alfred Molina and the ever-beautiful Gemma Arterton, and with a release date of May 28 2010 the film will be released just in time for the summer blockbuster season.

One thing is for sure; if it makes lots of money it will spawn sequels galore. Check out the trailers below and tell us what you think.
