HERALDING THE ARRIVAL OF THE PRINCE OF PERSIA
AT FIRST I THOUGHT THAT BRINGING PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE SANDS OF TIMEto the big screen would be a good idea. That was before I found out it would be a Disney movie produced by that guy who likes secret agent gerbils and starring a gay cowboy (not that there's anything wrong with that).
When I think of bad ass video game characters -- The Prince from PoP comes to mind, not Jake Gyllenhaal.
Casting him is like Max Payne where the badass female lead was played by notoriously un-badass Mila Kunis. Or as she's better known nowadays, that chick who plays Meg on Family Guy.
Anyways, before I get any more off topic, I’ve watched the trailer for PoP: SoT a few times now and I’m not impressed.
Looks like Disney is looking for a new franchise to profit off of now that the world is getting bored with zombies, pirates, vampires, werewolves, aliens, super-heroes and Justin Long cameos.
Gyllenhaal looks like the prince and, from the little dialogue available, he sounds like the prince, but frankly I’m not getting my hopes up. The only upside is that the movie isn’t being directed by Uwe Boll.
Instead we get Mike Newell, the director behind such great action adventure films like Four Weddings and A Funeral and Mona Lisa’s Smile.
I’m putting my enthusiasm on hold for this one.
Marc Sakol understands the kindness in strangers, which is why he abandons hope of actually getting to know people. He spends his time falling head first into video games, watching every movie ever made and writing for his blog Sarcasm Not Included.
