Anyone else heard of it? Excited about it? Worried about it?

I liked the game, always made me giggle when he took a drink, but I don't know about the movie, all I could think was Jake Gyllenhall...really?... O.o ...Really?!

Linnea 11-12-2009 06:35 AM

@aoi midori: i also had that kind of reaction when i was it was jake gyllenhall hehe... i wasn't sure if that was a good or a bad thing though... like, seriously, he looks totally jacked! what happened to the skinny dorky looking kid from 'october sky'?

Rin Yokoshima 11-12-2009 06:38 AM

ZOMG I am so stoked for the movie! I practically ate, drank, slept the video game and now there's a movie?! They won't be able to tear me away from it. Let's just hope they do it justice, right?

Very interesting. I had no idea they were making a prince of parisa movie. i have the first game. im the very good at it yet, but im working at it.
It think it is very kool that they are making a movie for the game. i think im going to see it when it comes out, wait not think, i know im going to see it. lol
Thanku for shareing that trailer. i would never had know till they started showing it on tv or something. Im very excited for it to come out.

Lady_Megami 11-12-2009 04:02 PM

Apparently they wanted a Bollywood actor to play the Prince...but when he turned them down...the went to Jake. lol I dunno...he looks good in the part. =D

LadyKnightSkye 11-12-2009 04:25 PM

Personally don't play the games, but the movie looks interesting. And Jake Gyllenhall looks quite good with long hair. ^^ I'll admit, that'll be part of the reason I go see it.

ronneh 11-12-2009 06:47 PM

BUH?

i didn't know this was happening. :[ i feel sad my fellow d&d gamers left me out of that loop. we always make prince of persia related jokes in game, haha.


looks very good. o_______o it almost worries me.
yaaaaay for ben kingsley, just because i adore him, but noooooo to jake gyllenhaal, :[[[[[

I'm looking forward to the movie. My brother played the games. but I'm very shocked when i first heard that disney was the one making it. But yes, i agree, can someone explain to me why in the world Jake Gyllenhal (sp?) is the prince (forgot the character's name...fail. ><;;; )?? I mean, he is a good actor, but why for an Arabian-like character? Talk about Hollywood, it had to be him? I don't get Hollywood..:/ lol

They wanted to get a Bollywood actor; (Bollywood is Hollywood's twin in India) but the person they wanted refused. Maybe they thought this would be the second best? I dunno..he looks good.

I don't think the Prince had a name, did he?

I'm actually a bit terrified about how this movie is going to turn out...Disney isn't that great a movie company when it comes to adult movies...they've made a couple of good ones, I'll admit...but I'm not so sure how well this one will turn out @[email protected]

Hopefully it will be as good as the Pirate's movie....and not like the *cough* other live action movies...

Rin Yokoshima 11-16-2009 04:52 PM

Do you mean like *cough* Avatar: The Last Airbender the live action movie...? 'Cause that movie disappointed me so very much...

That movie isn't out yet though..

Rin Yokoshima 11-16-2009 05:30 PM

No, but the casting was terrible! I was so disappointed! But, the movie still has a chance...as long as it sticks to the storyline...I must admit, the bending looks pretty cool...but...eh...I don't know. They could have don't better :(

Oh, yea I know...I cried when I saw who was playing in it....seriously, im that geeky. lol

an1m3ch1c 11-24-2009 07:28 PM

i only played the first game where in the first part you always accidently kill yourself trying to reach that one ledge D: . i hope they show many retrys in the movie :D

ainebella 11-28-2009 05:26 PM

I saw a preview the other day it looks good. makes me want to get the game and play it too, and see the movie at the same time

Rosamond 12-02-2009 07:20 AM

I'm not looking forward to it. It might look good but Jake as the Prince doesn't fit for me plus they already changed things, like giving him a name, changing the main girls name into some other name and so forth. I don't think Jake looks that good with long hair either.

Kole_Locke 12-03-2009 02:45 AM

I never knew they had a movie about this game. I will definitely have to check it out at some point for sure!!

danielley990 12-05-2009 10:19 PM

Im a little worried about sensitive playing Jake takingon this role. I will probably enjoi it afterwards but still...everytime I see him al i can think about is Donnie Darko and quit and timid. But all in allm I am excited that they are making a movie

Escapist 12-10-2009 12:50 AM

When I saw the trailer I flipped! lol. I thought it was odd that they chose Jake Gyllenhall as the dude (sorry, haven't played the game). But it looks friggin awesome! I can't wait for it to come out!

Mrs.Asphixia 01-01-2010 07:07 AM

I doubt Disney will live up to my expectations because of the fact the game was intended for older audiences, whereas Disney deals with children... I'm not looking forward to it.

`Haru 01-01-2010 01:08 PM

I didn't know they were making a movie out of it. Could be pretty interesting. : O

ElysiumFate 01-09-2010 05:04 AM

I am majorly excited about this movie...I hate video games yet love the Prince of Persia series. I think it'll be great.

I think it's cast pretty well except for the woman that plays the princess. I'm not a big fan of her.
