The blog about anything

helloooo,to all my blog visitors, this…. is my first post in a veeeery long time, i just discovered recently that one of my favorite video games ever, was made into a movie!!. Yup, you guessed it Prince of Persia was made into a movie, well it’s in the title, duh!,hehe. sorry that was a bit random,hehe. Well, anyway, i wanted to tell you all, a little info about the Prince of Persia Movie,some of you may already know about this upcoming movie, i’m posting this so that the people who didn’t know that this movie was coimg,will know. sorry for the bad english.  Well first things first, here’s the movie poster   

cool isn’t it?   

well what i found out recently about this movie, that it was supposed to be released at July 10, 2009, before having a final script or any actors attached,and ithink that the movie’s features will be mixed between the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones,that’s what i think anyway well here’s a little (or should i say a lot) info i picked up from wikipedia:   

In March 2004, the production company Jerry Bruckheimer Films sought to acquire feature film rights to the 2003 video game Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time with the film to be distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. Under John August as executive producer, the series’ creator Jordan Mechner was hired to write the script. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer’s Pirates of the Caribbean film trilogy served as a touchstone in how a theme park ride was converted into a film franchise, and Rather than do a straight beat-for-beat adaptation of the new videogame, they are taking some cool elements from the game and using them to craft a new story   

Early in 2007, Disney announced Prince of Persia as one of its tentpole films and by June had scheduled a release date for July 10, 2009 before having a final script or any actors attached. By November 2007, Disney entered negotiations with Mike Newell to direct the film based on a script by Mechner and Nachmanoff, though the studio held off production until the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike was resolved. Newell was fond of Bruckheimer’s films, and loved the “exciting [and] immensely romantic” script, which reminded him of Lost Horizon. His assistant played the video games and gave the director key details. Mechner, in writing the script, re-conceived the storyline to shift the perspective from the interactive one experienced by video gamers to the non-interactive experience by film audiences. The screenwriter left out elements of the Prince of Persia video games Warrior Within and The Two Thrones and did not anticipate including these elements in the film’s possible sequels. okay that was the info about the production of this movie, and now the casting   

On May 20, 2008 it was announced that Jake Gyllenhaal is to portray Dastan, the protagonist of the film. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer explained his choice, “He’s a wonderful actor. He’s someone I’ve been watching for a long time and somebody I’ve always wanted to work with.” Gyllenhaal claims he “over-prepared for the role, gaining five or six pounds of muscle. The actor says, “…I never knew how much they were going to ask me to do, so I just made sure I’d be hopefully able to do anything.” Gemma Arterton was announced to play the role of protagonist Tamina and Arterton reported she practiced horse back riding in Madrid before filming Ben Kingsley is to portray the film’s antagonist, Nizam. Alfred Molina is to portray a character named Sheik Amar, who becomes a mentor to the prince. Toby Kebbell is to play a prince of Persia, Dastan’s brother, and head of the Persian army.
