Jake Gyllenhaal Is Now Wearing Clothes

@mcderek3000: omgwtfbbq

Why did they go with the stupid costume?

This is..... saddening

'least the atmosphere seems right

well, in the game, you lost your shirt after a certain part in the game.... sooooo.

@akif24:
Probably not, but there are plenty of actors who just wouldn't bother, for various reasons. Either it's beneath them, they're being pussies...or something the insurance people flat out won't allow.

When an actor works really hard and wants to do as much of his own stunts as is allowed, there is a certain amount of respect that will gain.

@That mop mutant from NES.:
Ahaha, that one made me laugh out loud. I can hear him in my head saying that.

BOO.

Take it back off. I'm not planning on seeing this movie for the costumes, after all.

I think I could do a great job of greenlighting movies. I mean, some guy got PAID to greenlight this movie so it can't be very hard.

I'm actually really looking forward to this. So many adaptations have failed before, but I love this series so much. It can't let me down.

@[ZTF]NSF Operative: It would have to after these pictures.

@MisterSleep: Oh god, that is so cruel and so hilarious at the same time. Oh dear :P

"Why don't you take off that stupid rabbit costume?"

"Why don't you take off that stupid prince costume?"

You were better as Donnie, Jake.

DeadHex - Now on XBL/PSN

well....at least he doesn't look too far off.

I know it'll be sub par because you can't really capture the PoP spirit of agility that enthralls me in a movie where i'm actively participating, but that's a fault of all video game movies, not just this one..

@Ignited_Impulse: I can picture it now. "Pants?! We don't need pants to fight zombies!"

mcderek3000

If Jack Sparrow was in Kingdom Hearts II does this mean the Prince is now eligible to be in Kingdom Hearts III? Maybe he can feature break-away clothing like in Soul Calibur IV!

Ignited_Impulse

@Man in the mirror: Say cheeeeese!

...Because it looks horribly cheesy.

@mcderek3000: Divine intervention?

@Len Bias Cocaine Surplus: Lmfao, I think I got the joke. How mean ;)

@MisterSleep: Bravo, sir. Bravo.

"It's nice when a stuntman turns to you and is like, 'Actors don't normally do this.'"

I don't think was meant to be nice; the guy's stepping on the stuntman's toes, taking away his livelihood!

It's generally not nice to see someone doing your job for you.

"I'm tired of taking myself so seriously," says Gyllenhaal.

... Can't believe he really said that

bakura

I always expected him to look like that

JetPogi

I read the title and all I can say it: "Thank you God, now I know you exist"

Ah!
For a second i thought this was Jared Leto.

Uh...well it wouldn't really make a difference.
*raises flame shield*

Why is Jake Gyllenhaal being followed by a giant two-headed chicken?

mcderek3000

He's not Italian, this won't work.

he looks totally gay, the costume looks really fake.

@MisterSleep: It literally took me until the most recent Prince of Persia to figure out that I've actually played a PoP (this one pictured) game before.

My brother and me loved this game, when I told him about the new PoP games he was as baffled as me.

tuacker

will definitely see this, although he should get trousers that fit properly...

Jonny2806

Why did they decide to name the prince anything at all? Dantian... Really?

I miss the nameless mook who just happened to have a atrocious memory and a knack for defying gravity.

But they definitely picked a actor who doesn't vin diesel. Chuck Norris

vtassault

@[ZTF]NSF Operative:

Represent.

ademu

Why does always insist on a white man to play a Persian he looks nothing like him

bluem4gic

@MisterSleep: Haha. I couldn't have said it any better.

@Paradox me:Let us go chill with So-Crates?

I'm worried about this movie I mean I think Prince of Persia would make a fine movie but so far I'm getting a Warrior Within vibe from the movie.

billysan

@VergessenHeld: I think my expectations may have actually gone down.

Assuming that the game->movie=crap equation still holds true, rampant sexiness may have been the one thing that could have held the movie together! What have they done?!

@aihuman: He is. Gyllenhaal didn't want to grow his hair out so they digitally superimposed Crecente's hair on him.

as soon as i saw the picture, i laughed so god damn hard xD ...he looks so stupid

@Len Bias Cocaine Surplus:

Yeah, sarcasm on a gaming site is very uncommon so yours was hard to decipher.

Eh... I honestly thought he was going to look worse. My expectations have gone up a little.

And before you guys try to flame me, imagine where my expectations lay BEFORE seeing this picture.

VergessenHeld

@LordThayer: I thought the internet was really that bad for a second.

He looks okay, but his whiteness bothers me.

YadiraHuang

@Len Bias Cocaine Surplus: I understand the sentiments of some that they need a box office draw to bring in the dough but when you dont have one persian actor in the main cast it begins to become insulting. I have a feeling this may bomb.

@Len Bias Cocaine Surplus: Don't worry, I got the joke.

@Len Bias Cocaine Surplus:

it's not filmed in persia either

@Sonira - bettah zan Mama!: I would hope.

@Len Bias Cocaine Surplus: Well, but James Earl Jones was not a Jedi, and his role as Darth Vader's voice was brilliant.

abcFRAG

@MisterSleep: boy does that bring back memories... I would drive my grandma to tears from laughing (I played this a lot at her place) as I walked around as if I had pressed 'shift'.

I wonder if he gets to do that in the movie :D ?

@syl1985: He clearly said that he's not taking himself seriously. It's only to be expected that the movie will be, as Kicken says, horribly entertaining.

@[ZTF]NSF Operative: Pure win.

@[ZTF]NSF Operative: LAWLS indeed. Perfect use of the new images feature. Thank you so much for that.

Oh damn.

That's hot.

@Len Bias Cocaine Surplus: Impossible? I think he's already playing the character. So much for that.

@MisterSleep: LMAO. Nice one.

*palms forehead and shakes in disapproval* No, just no.

Junpei_Iori

@MisterSleep:

I don't like to use the term "LOL" much, but that is deserving of one.

superdance14

I'm sure with one swipe of a sword his top miraculously evaporates into thin air and a light emits from behind his body, blinding the offender.

Atomsk88

the prince is Persian?!

who knew...

NathaniaKlimchuck

@Len Bias Cocaine Surplus:

Yeah, not hairy enough. He needs a uni-brow at the very least :D

He looks awesome.

@Michael Dukakis - Mets fan: I'm glad. Laughter heals.

[ZTF]NSF Operative

@[ZTF]NSF Operative: You made me laugh.

@Jason: Chucking Spears: ......

@Michael Dukakis - Mets fan: Ellipses denote silence. You know what else denotes silence? Not typing anything.

[ZTF]NSF Operative

Why isnt Crencente in this movie?

aihuman

@Jason: Chucking Spears: I have a feeling your icon isn't going to sit well with the rules.

@Nobuyuki: Warrior Within actually had awesome combat. And people don't say the same about Sands of Time, but it was awesome as well. I don't get the criticism.

Fernando Jorge

funny how even video game movies still have white people playing minorities.

CaptJapan

@Paradox me:"Woah, I am ambidextrous".

But he's not Persian. That makes it impossible for him to play a character in a movie!

There are other people I'd rather see in the role.

"I am Keanu, the very excellent Prince of Persia! Watch this most excellent movie of mine. Excellent!"

Ooh I hope they put in my favorite scene.

@Jason: Chucking Spears: ...

He's too bulky, not the athletic prince I know but whatever. It's probably going to be something that wants to be the scorpion king that wanted to be conan but won't be as good as conan. In other words, a flick for male gamer teens who are drowning in hormones.

Man in the mirror

@Nobuyuki:

You would do well to watch your blasphemous tongue. The Sands of Time demands respect.

Doesn't matter how buff he gets, he'll always be Donnie Darko, the scrawny kid trying to get inside Jena Malone's pants.

Fernando Jorge

@Nobuyuki:
Hater :P

@Jason: Chucking Spears: ......

As long as he doesn't have a British accent like the one in the SoT game, I'll be fine.

So... Wow. I'm actually a little awed by the amount of shirt jake is actually wearing in this picture.

SneakyBeaver

I wonder if the movie will have shoddy combat too.

Nobuyuki

@syl1985:
-e +y entertaining, at least.

Kicken

I hope this movie is good, its such a great franchise.

He makes my icon wet XDXDXDXDXD

Jason: Chucking Spears

Hah, this looks ridiculous, I can't wait to see it :P

TaylorEatWorld

WOW!!!! He looks absolutely ridiculous... this is going to be horrible.

@Jonn:

It's not all that bad of a costume. It may be from the Warrior Within, but it makes a heck of a lot more sense to wear some armour in as a warrior prince than to wear some flimsy shirt that comes apart the entire movie.

Canadien Hero

@mcderek3000: Its the return of El Pollo Diablo! Run for your lives!

@[ZTF]NSF Operative:
Jaaaaaackass.

jeembomb

@Paradox me:
I can't watch any movie with Keanu without throwing out random Bill and Ted quotes. It's something of a sickness. Bogus!

I'm trying to figure out he manages to look both silly and totally smokin' hot in that getup at the same time :P

@mcderek3000: To get to the other side!

HalcyonX12

@Jonn: It's either complain when the costume in the movie isn't accurate or complain if its too accurate, via the interwebs!

@Man in the mirror:

I bet he was all of 175lbs, hardly bulky. At any rate, i for one find it lame they pick the whitest dude ever to play a Persian prince... really? there was no one else?
