First Footage of the Prince of Persia Film

In a recent interview with ABC, Jerry Bruckheimer (producer) talk about the new upcoming Prince of Persia movie and brings along some footage of the movie. Sadly, the movie is nothing like the game and that was made apparent when Bruckheimer explained the movies storyline. “Dastan (Jake Gyllenhaal) is our hero. He’s a street urchin who gets taken in by the king because of his valor, and he says, ‘I want this young man as part of my family.’ He’s already got two sons, but he doesn’t want them fighting over the crown.”

I don’t hold much hope in this being a good film by any means. The fact that the producer did the Pirates of the Caribbean films actually hurts his credibility in my opinion and when people remind me of who he is I have to remind him that he is only the producer on the Prince of Persia film. Even if it turns out to be a great film, it will be another loss in the gaming world because this film seems to have nothing to do with the games other than the shared title.
