"Prince of Persia: Sands of Time" trailer -- starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Ben Kingsley, Alfred Molina and Gemma Arterton, is finally out. 

Sure looks like a ancient world spectacle, doesn't it? We could look at Jake muscles all day long.

 But haven't we had enough of all that killer sand in "The Mummy" franchise?

What do you think of "Persia?" 

Intrigued or over it?

Lame.


It's not exactly chilly, but there's not much chemistry between Gyllenhaal and Arterton. They're just staring at each other and trading not-very-witty one-liners.That does not bode well for the climax of this story, which relies entirely on the relationship between their respective characters (assuming they stay faithful to the game, which it very well may not).

Urgh, I played the game, so perhaps that's why I'm so picky, but I have a big problem with Arterton's character narrating this trailer. It's actually a crucial plot point that the PRINCE is the narrator of the story, but maybe they changed that for reasons that I cannot see until May. But for now, ehhhhhhhh. They took none of the good things from the game and everything bad.


if it's set in persia why are the cast white?


The accents are vomitaceous. Arterton especially sucks with her plummy Mayfair sound. Jakey seems simply silly. I smell disaster coming unless they redo it in American English.


why does Jake Gyllenhaal sound like and act like Orlando Bloom?
