First images of Prince of Persia movie surface

Posted on August 13th, 2008 at 15:53 EDT

The first on-set images of Jake Gyllenhaal (Donnie Darko, Jarhead) as Prince Dastan in the new Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time film have emerged, showing off his newly-toned body and ancient Persian costume.

The film will feature such actors as Ben Kingsley (Sexy Beast, Lucky Number Slevin) and Alfred Molina (The Da Vinci Code, Spider-Man 2). Also, Quantum of Solace actress Gemma Arterton will appear in the film as Princess Tamina.

The photos were taken on location in Morocco, North Africa, where the movie is being filmed.

According to IMDB.com, the movie will follow the storyline of the game, where Prince Dastan (Gyllenhaal) is tricked and unleashes the Sands of Time, destroying the kingdom and turning its inhabitants into demons and sand creatures. In order to save the world, Dastan and Tamina must return the hourglass using the Dagger of Time.

The movie is being directed by Mike Newell (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) and just began filming last month. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is set to release on May 28, 2010.

@ Baker_44

the guy is the Prince of Persia. Persian people have hair on their faces and body from the most part. so I see nothing wrong this.

and the character in the game has a beard.

It's hilarious when gamers demand a movie adaptation of of a game they like and also demand it be accurate to the game, then the instant it actually happens they claim it sucks before it's even released. THIS is exactly the reason why Uwe Boll gets to butcher game movies, because idios keep making the studios think that accuracy isnt important to you.

I'm glad the movie is based on SoT cos that game kicked bottom. I'm really looking forward to seeing more about this movie... and hopefully seeing the movie eventually.

Yea yeah stop the blabbering because before the movie comes out all you haters are gonna be the first to reserve them tickets and after you finish watching the movie with your friends or whoever, all of you are gonna walk out the theatre talkin about how hot the movie is and end up watching it the next the day!! Just wait till the movie come out!!

LoL from headcase in donnie darko to gay coyboy to the prince of persia.LoL now what would be a really messed up movie is if you added them all into one movie...A gay headcase prince who has to save his realm.

He still looks like a tool. Plus broke back mountain takes away any good rep that he had (not that movies like jarhead or donnie darko gave him any anyways).

Guys, it's Hollywood. What do you expect?

could be a reasonable film, i didnt play much of teh games but saw them and they looked good fun. he's a competant actor too, so hopefully this will be worth a watch!

My opinion doesnt really matter but I am not diggin the Actor. Hes good dont get me wrong but the Prince was a way slimmer but toned guy. Dont recall all the body hair either. Next they will have Brad Pitt play Solid Snake in the MGS4 movie :( keep it CG!

The actor is ok...Prince of Persia owns...hope for a good film...

Well im not going to pass judgment until i see the movie ive been wrong before and ended up sticking my foot in my mouth. Like "Michael Keaton"-"Batman"   "Tobey Maquire"-Spider-Man"  and "Robert Downey Jr"-"Iron-Man" when i first heard all those actors i just stated are playing those roles I said are you kidding me. but they prove me wrong.

I personally think he looks good for the part, they will probably CGI his bod anyways from all the acrobatic action sequences.

@regissreg: Keaton wasnt a very good Batman imo

"Oh no...he has chest hair!  Oh no he played a gay guy..."  WHO GIVES A DAMN.  Just because they make a movie based off of a game doesn't mean every aspect of it will be correct.  Doesnt make it a bad movie, but hey somebody always has to whine.
