JAKE GYLLENHAAL IS PRINCE OF PERSIA

May 23rd 2008 10:36
prince of persia jake
That's right folks, it's announced that Jake Gyllenhaal will star in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, the movie based on the popular video game.

This is unexpected news, as Jake would probably the last actor I would guess for such a role, but when I think about it, why not? The guy shares the same facial characteristics, he's a talented actor, and I'm sure they will prepare him in the best ways for the movie.

The companies behind are the same that made Pirates of the Caribbean, Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer Films. Hopefully it will keep the dark edge and not become a kids movie, with mild action and ridiculous jokes.

An actress is also ready for one of the leading roles, Gemma Arterton. She's less experienced than Jake, but is on her way up with participation in the new James Bond movie amongst others.

Most importantly, Prince of Persia is on the go and at this stage all we can say is "good luck" and "it better not follow the trend of all the other game-to-movie adaptations, full with awfulness".

Interesting and new for Jake Gyllenhaal indeed... Like I said, Prince of Persia is not something I would ever think him in...

Cheers,

Oooh - this looks good. Let's just hope Jerry makes it more Pirates 1 style and way less Pirates 3 style.
Jake is cool - good choice.

Hi peeker

No problems, I was only half-way through as looking at Jake pictures was taking a while
