The Prince of Persia movie, which was great by virtue of not sucking, could have been a little better had the production team stuck to the original script handed in by the game’s original creator, Jordan Mechner.
The pressure was enormous. Legions of fans worried. Prince of Persia, the movie, was more than a blockbuster. “Maybe I’m being melodramatic,” says movie scribe Doug Miro. Then again, maybe he’s not. This was a Hollywood video game adaptation.
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.
Hollywood super producer Jerry Bruckheimer (not pictured) has seen the future. And it’s gamey.
Whether it’s Doom or Super Mario Bros., video games movies have a bad rep. It’s a mostly deserved rep. But Hollywood super producer Jerry Bruckheimer (The Rock, Pirates of the Carribean) doesn’t think it’s so cut and dried.
There must be a reason why the Oscar-nominated actor decided to be in the video game film. Turns out, there are several.
Not this one. This one is the U.S. promotional poster for the big screen version of the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. It’s… boring! Russia, god bless ‘em, did a much better job.
After an endless slew of ho-hum video game adaptations, Prince of Persia appears to be something to get excited about. This is from the same folks who turned a Disneyland ride, Pirates of the Caribbean, into popcorn entertainment.
Before Hollywood releases movies, they show the films to test audiences to see what they think. If the test audiences hate the picture, changes will be made. If not, then everything’s gravy. How did the Prince of Persia screening fair?
