To be honest, i don't know what to expect from the soon to be released Prince of Persia: the Sands of Time movie. I liked the games, i played the original when i was a kid, and i enjoyed the recent trilogy from UbiSoft, heck i even played the mish mash that was Prince of Persia 3d. But this movie worries me. I look like another Dragon Ball Evolution style adaptation: cast an American white boy in the role meant for a person of another nationality. I will never understand why Hollywood tries to make a movie "white", but alas, it has been done, it will be done again and continue to be done.
The first footage from the Mike Newell-directed big screen adaptation of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time has aired on an ABC movie special, and is now online. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer explains the plot of the film adaptation, as we see actual footage from the film. We also get to see some of Jake Gyllenhaal’s training and a look at the extensive on location Morocco shoot.
Plot summary by IMDB: Set in medieval Persia, the story of an adventurous prince who teams up with a rival princess to stop an angry ruler from unleashing a sandstorm that could destroy the world. Which is why after the prince was tricked by a dying Vizier to unleash the Sands of Time that turns out to destroy a kingdom and transforms its populace into ferocious demons. In his effort to save his own kingdom and redeem his fatal mistake, it's up to the prince and the princess to return the sands to the hourglass by using the Dagger of Time, which also gives him a limited control over the flow of time.
