Screenwriter/Executive Pro­ducer John August has laid down his views regard­ing Disney’s planned release date for the Prince of Per­sia adap­ta­tion, he’s not so sure:

Sev­eral sites have reported that Dis­ney has picked July 10, 2009 as the release date for Prince of Per­sia: The Sands of Time. My guess is that this got writ­ten on a white­board at some strate­gic plan­ning meet­ing, in answer to the ques­tion, “Hey, if we made that Prince of Per­sia movie, when would we release it?”

It’s a per­fectly good date, but I have no idea if there will be a movie to show. I don’t know if it’s get­ting made, or who’s direct­ing, or who’s star­ring. No one knows, not even the peo­ple sign­ing the checks. It’s still a project in development.

Maybe late sum­mer 2009? We’ll have to see how things develop.
