There are many wonderful things that a Hollywood filmmaker could borrow from Grand Theft Auto, including better police chases and user-controlled soundtracks, but the director of this weekend’s Jake Gyllenhaal movie Source Code is snatching something else.
The power to rewind time will not save video game movie adaptation Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time from the likes of Roger Ebert and the assembled movie critics in this rare but highly warranted movie Frankenreview.
You gotta give Prince of Persia star Jake Gyllenhaal star credit. That’s some great hair. So great that perhaps it, not Jake, could star in a biography film about Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain.
In the Hollywood version of video game Prince of Persia, Jake Gyllenhaal plays Chesty Jake Prince Dastan. How did he get ready to play the part?
With a Best Supporting Actor nomination under his bed, Jake Gyllenhaal’s status as a serious actor has been cemented. But he doesn’t necessarily want to only be a serious actor. Because in the upcoming Prince of Persia, he’s Chesty Jake.

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer and stars Jake “Chesty” Gyllenhaal and Gemma Arterton discuss the story behind Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Disney’s big-budget film based on the long-running gaming franchise.
There must be a reason why the Oscar-nominated actor decided to be in the video game film. Turns out, there are several.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time? More like the shirtlessness of Jake Gyllenhaal. Though, like the last trailer, it was short on Chesty Jake.
