That was good.

@emwurst: There can be only one. Shoot Gyllenhaal, obviously he's the impostor.

@emwurst: Bullets aren't that expensive. Go nuts!

@Curse_Lily: Oh you know it!

I do have to say in response to your hitman comment...that was the worst casting call EVER!!!!

I want to be held by him.

Man...every time I see him...I cant help but want to duck and cover....you know because in Broke back mountain they beat the crap out of each other. This movie has fail written all over it!

@spannu: It's at the double standards drawer.

such thin forearms for a muscular person......

@FreakyFavabean: õ_o

@Alfie Roberts: Technically, while the movies features the Persian royal family, a plot point allows flexibility for his skin tone.

Just watch the goddamn video clip from yesterday and let Jerry explain it.

Short version: He's written as an "adopted" member of the royal family.

Add a pirate shirt to this photo, and Jakey Boy could have a fine career as a Fabio-type model for softcore supermarket romance novels if his acting gig ever takes a nosedive.

I agree with the above comment about the picture being creepy... I dont know how the movie will be but this is one of the worst casting choices for a game-to-movie I have seen in a while... next to HITMAN. I love the Prince of Persia games but this guy in the movie is going to ruin it... I can see it now, I'll be watching the movie but everytime I see this dude I'll be feeling sick.

StRyKeR2K8

Yes. His talent. I enjoy watching it flex.

@Microshock: Jesus was ripped.

@Ghostwise: Talent.

that picture creeps me out for some reason

@Silent Predator fell on bad days: It's a deranged zombie lumbering towards you. Aim high!

@Silent Predator fell on bad days: It's a confused beheaded head in a frying pan.

moehannes

@Maxyboy13: +1

@Silent Predator fell on bad days: Its a bowling ball in the gutter

@EnigmaNemesis: Generally speaking, anyone whose primary language is Farsi.

@Alfie Roberts: They had someone Persian as a contender for the role, David Zandi. In fact, he was actually a Persian prince. No joke.

That pic is just begging to be captioned. Never have I seen such an awkward pose.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, manly

@Maxyboy13: /thread

@Curse_Lily: What is that supposed to be? Is it shrugging?

@Owen Nein: Okay, how about someone who doesn't look absolutely hilarious with long hair. Haha, good lord, look at him! He's got Crecente's hair and the Goblin King's crotch. What the fuck?!

@MDX: no homo.

MDX

@LandMineLandSnake: So will mine.

MDX

He looks like jesus..I wonder why Jake decided to copy my icon?

@Maxyboy13: /airfive

@Boom-Chicka-Ah: ¯\(º_o)/¯ Let's be careful just in case.

@BillyTheRatKing: Well if this is based off the first, then his clothes will disappear slowly...

@omgwtflolbbqbye:

Uhh....I don't get it....am I supposed to reply with an obligatory "No homo dawg"?

@Alfie Roberts: They were all too busy getting kicked down wells and cliffs

+ Watch video

omgwtflolbbqbye

@omgwtflolbbqbye: You sir, have made my day.

Where is the Maximum Risky tag?

spannu

"You know, he's young, he's talented, and that's what we rely on - his talent"

Yes, his supple and throbbing talent...

mmmmm... talent....

omgwtflolbbqbye

@EnigmaNemesis:

Well you see, it's what you get when a Meowth evolves.

@Alfie Roberts:

And what would constitute a "Persian"?

o.O

When I watched the video of this all I could focus on was how weird his chin looked and the fact that there's way too many people in the movie that it feels more like Assassin's Creed rather than Prince of Persia.

SagiMewtwo

@Alfie Roberts: You might want to go back to the article where Jake was originally cast for the flick. You'll find this entire argument there :)

@BillyTheRatKing: poop, wear*

Didn't the game version where more clothes?

He brings his giant noise to distract us from how terrible the movie will be.

Orian

@DukeOfPwn: Obviously, Now take off that stupid man suit. Mmm oh yah.

Mooglepinoy22

they couldnt have found someone persian?

Alfie Roberts

@Lunasaur: I... I can't tell them apart! I... don't know which one to shoot!

emwurst

Is it me or does he have an absurdly large bulge as a codpiece? Movie will kick ass I bet though.

Ghostwise

Am I the only one who finds having a rabbit friend that tells him to do bad things a turn-off?

DukeOfPwn

no homo
right?

Don't you see! White AND handsome! Most. Talented. Actor. EVER.

Deya Ammar

Manny obviously was just holding for Jake

endaround

I see Crecente everywhere...damn

Prince of Brokeback Mountain is what Jake is.

Kuwabara Kazuo

@Darkest Daze: I agree with you to a point Daze. People should be open-minded. But...

@Armans: ...its hard to put Jake on Ledger's level, or give him a pass just because of The Dark Knight, just because they made out a few times.

@MrGreen13: Yes, of course. That's what everyone thinks of when they think of Brokeback Mountain. Those devastating fight scenes.

@BillyTheRatKing: Just be thankful Matthew McConaughey wasn't cast as the prince. A role where he'd actually have to take his shirt off? He'd probably just go all the way instead and be naked the whole movie.

(side note: I had to check how to spell McConaughey. No real point to this, just felt I should say that.)

@BillyTheRatKing: Only at the start of the game.

Narishma

@Armans: It's not cool to be logical and open-minded. Just look at how Vista is hated for the same exact reasons XP was hated when it was first released. Yet, people still believe the FUD because it's derision is more fun and much easier.

Darkest Daze

@Alfie Roberts: Personally, I think they should have cast Reza Naji or Akbar Abdi. They're both dreamy. They'd be great were it not for the fact that the prince of pesia from the game wasn't even Persian (iranians don't have blue eyes!!!).

kiddoblivion

@Kenny: Yeah, because these two had sex in a movie once... and... ha... hahha...herha ...ohgod.... let... me...just catch my breath... you're so sharp...and...witty... and tongue-in-cheek...

kiddoblivion

@StRyKeR2K8: A shirtless guy is creepy? Oh dear, me thinks the lady doth protest too much.

kiddoblivion

@Alfie Roberts: Name a world famous Persian actor that speaks good English and doesn't suck.

This is a cash flick, not an indie foreign language film.

@Ghostwise: His codpiece is so large it would make Heath Ledger roll in his grave, amirite?

@Limeade: He fasted on a mountain for 40 days and lived, he must have been in shape.

I remember when it was first announced that Heath Ledger was going to be the next Joker, how everyone was calling him Broke Back Joker and saying that he was a terrible choice and that he would make a gay cowboy version of the Joker. Now he is rememebered as the BEST JOKER EVER. I think we should give Jake(and his abs) a chance.

Armans

@Deya Ammar:

whats being white have to do with it? if u see a football player, and someone says hes talented, do u think "yeah, white AND talented" in that smarmy sarcastic tone u have going on there? coz if u do..ur a tit.

Mark Patterson

@Ghostwise:

why are ye lookin at his codpiece?? thats the real question. fan of broke back mountain ye? ....

Mark Patterson

@Kenny: ohmed djalili

thy_dungeonman

@spannu: this post is more like Moderate Risky.

@Kenny: Exactly. That right there, should be the final word in the argument.

@Kuwabara Kazuo: you would turn gay for HIM !

turius

His constantly nervous face replaces all need for this 'acting' schtick! Not so sure it makes him a very good action star, though. He looks far too worried, all through the footage we've seen.

Am I the only one who thinks this is going to be fine? I actually have high hopes for this movie, since PoP:SoT has an actually interesting concept that could translate well onto the screen if done correctly. I'm expecting some awesome trap dodging acrobatics, interesting fighting techniques, and hopefully some witty banter between the Prince and Farah. Probably add a few characters/flashbacks/other plot devices into the mix and voila. Pave the way for Warrior Within...er...oh no. That...would not translate well to screen.

Amnesiac85

@DukeOfPwn: I see what you did there. It truly is a very very mad world.

@thy_dungeonman:

Dear lord. I don't want to see him with his shirt off. God no.

bluebuju

@Limeade: ripped .rarred and rapidshared?

@Maxyboy13: Thread over.

So, we have the video of him talking about it, and for some reason, the same thing, but just text.

Whatever.

@emwurst: Shoot Flexo!

@Kuwabara Kazuo: So very very sexy. I wanna bite him. That the movie will suck is likely, however.

Movies these day, horrible casting. They might as well make "The Last Black Man on Earth" starring Tom Hanks - thanks Chapelle's Show.

mrvao

@EnigmaNemesis: These days, I hear they're called Iranians.
And there's your answer.

@Armans: To me and a lot of others Batman is a little more noteworthy than PoP. If PoP sucks no one will care and it will be forgotten in a few weeks. Meanwhile Batman and Robin is still being discussed today as being a crapper. Ithankyou

Pirates of persia much? Looks more like a classical matiné than a dark fairytale fantasy. I hope the trailer will prove me wrong.

@moehannes: Wait, beheaded head?

@Deya Ammar: well i thought it was a funny comment - particularly since the film is called Prince of PERSIA, not Prince of England.

jcous

This guy needs some scars and veins, this is a male stripper's chest. If you squint your eyes it almost looks like he has tits.

@Kuwabara Kazuo:
That DEFINATELY wasn't what people said about Heath on the Joker! Nope...
