Looks like the movie will suck.


sin­cer­ity November 3rd, 2009

How much you wanna bet that the girl turns out to be bad in the end. It sounds like her voice is mock­ing him at one point in the trailer.

*sigh* Jake just doesn’t work as the prince. I’m not say­ing he isn’t a decent actor I just … well, any­way what’s done is done.

The spe­cial effects look lovely but I have reser­va­tions about the story line. I need to see more trail­ers to make up my mind on going to see it in the­aters or not.

WHAT THE F@CK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?! IF YOU ARE SUCH HARDCORE FANS, WHY THE HELL DO YOU CONTINUE YAPPIN’ ABOUT THE CHOICE OF ACTORS?! JUST DEAL WITH THE FACT THAT THE MOVIE IS BEIN’ MADE AS IT IS AND STOP BITCHIN’ ABOUT IT, PERIOD. IF YOU TAKE IT INTO YOUR HEADS THAT THE MOVIE IS GOIN’ TO BE BAD AND IT TURNS OUT TO BE AMAZING, YOU’LL STILL END UP THINKIN’ IT’S BAD. IF YOU TRY AND ACCEPT THE MOVIE YOU MIGHT JUST FIND IT AT THE VERY LEAST ENTERTAINING. OTHERWISE YOU CAN JUST KEEP HATIN’ FOR NO REASON, IN OTHER WORDS, KEEP BEIN’ A DOUCHE.

movies gonna be pree legit with all the graph­ics and stuff but sooooo coulda pickd a bet­ter actor to play the prince i hate it when they choose some­one of a dif­fer­ent race to play the role of someone.

graf­fik — im not hatin i just want the ppl who pickd the actors to see their deci­sion for what it is


Evan November 3rd, 2009

I think Jake is per­fect. After all they are mak­ing an Hol­ly­wood movie (that wants make mil­lions of gains) and as we are all racist inside real per­sian or indian (the princess) actors would not sat­isfy the peo­ple.
If not why only very few bol­ly­wood movies (how­ever well made) reach our cinemas?

Then there is the “famous peo­ple” fac­tor. Jake is a well know actor, as for Alfred Molina and Ben Kings­ley, plus all of them are very good actors. Why take a more real­is­tic but unknown or, worst, bad actor instead?

So for me Jake and the oth­ers work very well in this movie.


Dricka November 4th, 2009

gosh, i love it
ok, could not be the real game story line, but make what, if this guys make a suck great film, and have the prince jokes, i’ll lover at all…
the spe­cial effects, gosh amaz­ing… i have no words for this
Dys­ney, i had my doubts but after this, get my vote and my crazy mind to think that i need to w8 to see it…
now i just wanna more traillers, more infor­ma­tion, n see how great this new tril­ogy is going to come!
as ever great work movie chronicles!!!


TSUKINO November 4th, 2009

Oh My GOD!!
This is won­der­ful! He is the true prince of per­sia, unbe­liev­able, I don’t have words to explain what I feel!
This is good work!

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

again ^__^


Cameliya November 10th, 2009

WOW! this movie is shap­ing out so good! much bet­ter then I even imag­ined! Great work!

As for Jake, I also think he is absolutely per­fect for the role. As Evan said — he is famous, incred­i­bly tal­ented and has a huge fan base — which is enough to launch the movie. And he actu­ally LOOKS like the SOT Prince — the hair, the blue eyes, he got in per­fect shape ‚he even did his stunts! Not to men­tion his atti­tude! per­fect for the SOT Prince — so naïve and even child­ish, opti­mistic and noble. I was also pretty skep­ti­cal about him when I first heard he is in the lead, and then I watched Bub­ble­boy to help me feel even more neg­a­tive about this choice, but now HAVING ACTUALLY SEEN him in the full out­fit, in action — I am very opti­mistic! :D


PoP Fan (The Games) November 10th, 2009

This movie is going to suck! Yes it will be a hit at the box office but it will not do the game jus­tice. It is not dark enough and It is try­ing to be like the Pirates of the Caribbean films, they add humor that doesn’t belong. I read the script that leaked on line and it isn’t like the game at all. The prince doesn’t have a name and he does not have any broth­ers (unlike in the film) and the princess’s name is Far­rah. They should have cho­sen Bol­ly­wood actors because even though they would be unknown to us they would fit the roles and it would make the film more real­is­tic. The actors are all very tal­ented but they should not be in this film. Dis­ney should not have made this movie because the games are so bloody and vio­lent and Dis­ney would never make an R rated film but PoP should be rated R. War­rior Within and The Two Thrones games are rated M and they are just too dark and gory for a Dis­ney film. This film is going to be a dis­ap­point­ment to the fans of the game.


aaliyah November 11th, 2009

PoP Fan, maybe they should have just picked a PERSIAN actor. Why it gotta be Indian? Either way that will never hap­pen though.


True PoP Fan November 12th, 2009

Pop fan, what are you talk­ing about? This is based on Sands of Time which was rate T, and was not dark what so ever. And you do real­ize that even films like Casino Royal are rate PG 13 as well right? A movie could have vio­lence and even nudity but still be PG 13 as lots of action movies such as Bond and Bourne have proven.

As for the actors, it’s been done so peo­ple should get over it. They both look great in the role from what we can see in the trailer, and that’s all that matters.


Graf­fiK November 15th, 2009

I am 100% sure that you pre­fer Dis­ney over Uwe Boll!!!


surya & hasti December 2nd, 2009

game & movies both are dif­fer­ant, so weit & watch what will hap­pen dud!!!!!


Real Talk December 6th, 2009

I refuse to see this movie. This is the Prince of Per­sia, not the Prince of Aus­tria. Persia=Iran. Jake Gyl­len­haal is no Per­sian prince, nor is Gemma Arter­ton a cap­tured Iran­ian princess.

Hol­ly­wood needs a seri­ous real­ity check if they think these two are pass­able. It’s insult­ing that the rare time when they make a movie that obvi­ously calls for lead actors of eth­nic roots, that they cast the whitest per­son pos­si­ble and tan him up.


anna December 31st, 2009

umm @ Real Talk Jake Gyl­len­haal is jew­ish so he is not white.


Dav­e­nee January 20th, 2010

Ok… for all who keep crit­i­ciz­ing the choice of actors say­ing they should have gone with some Bol­ly­wood actor let me just say this: INDIA is not PERSIA!!!

I never played the game and prob­a­bly don’t see myself in the future but I love movies and this trailer inter­ested me. It looks like a wild, sum­mer ride. For those of you crit­i­ciz­ing it by the trailer, wor­ried that it won’t do the game jus­tice need to remem­ber the film is only BASED on the game (Yes, I am talk­ing to you True PoP fan).

There is not enough dia­logue and char­ac­ter devel­op­ment in a video game to trans­late directly into a film. It is oppo­site of a novel where there is too much and things get thrown out. When you take a piece (such as a game or book) and mold it to fit another medium (such as a film) things get changed. It has to hap­pen. Finally, and I throw this in because of the Jerry Bruck­heimer links, Pirates of the Caribbean (the movie) and absolutely noth­ing to do with the ride it was based on. Per­haps the movie is only loosely based on the game… that does noth­ing to dimin­ish the qual­ity of the film. It only ticks of nar­row minded people.


Shad­owGHOUL January 24th, 2010

god job with graph­ics .. no doubt .. but i still think they should not have changed the story so much com­pared to the game… actors pretty .. good .. a lit­tle dis­ap­pointed with Farah.. the trailer is not show­ing off just the graph­ics not the actual essence of the prince’s will in SANDS OF TIME..
will watch „ for sure

.….….…WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

.. i can’t wait to see it!!!!!!!!!!!


good fel­low April 8th, 2010

Yeah, there are a lot of com­ments here and I must agree on some & also dis­agree. My mail dis­s­a­point­ment on the film is the finer things they left out — the hour glass, which is a big part of the becom­ing of the sands. The var­i­ous pow­ers the dagg­ger pos­s­eses. It seems like they only focused on the rever­sal of time one, but what about all the other awe­some one’s.

These and a few other fac­tors I would have loved to see and live in the movie. I truly hope that when I first heard about the mak­ing of the movie that they will try and keep it as close as pos­si­ble to the game. Espe­cially the name of Pricess Farah. That is a big fail in my books.

Other than that, I am sure it will be a pretty good action movie, with the Prince doing his sig­na­ture moves and acro­batic fight­ing styles. I can only hope though. I love the games.. This is a really good story in a whole and the whole chronicle’s of it.

It will be a shame if they messed it up. But I doubt it. Look­ing for­ward to its release.

its ridi­culious that they cant aquire actors of per­sion decent. Like there are no other actors in the world. Typ­i­cal of hol­ly­wood. this goes back to the time when they made cow­boy movies and painted the white man to resem­ble Native Amer­i­cans. I guess noth­ing has changed in all these years. This is what they call pop­corn movies. Dress it up as some­thing else. Huge spe­cial effects and actors that are known to the audi­ance. A redone for­mula just to gen­er­ate money at the box office


BBB May 8th, 2010

Let’s just hope they kept at least some of the best quotes in the game to put into the movie.
Looks awe­some, just a shame that they couldn’t keep the orig­i­nal plot — The game has such a great story telling aspect to it that made PoP PoP.

I want my cash back. Jake gyl­len­haal is stupid.
