Quote:

Passing through India en route to Azad, King Sharaman and his son, the Prince of Persia, defeat the powerful Maharajah of India with the promise of honor and glory. After looting the city and capturing a giant hourglass full of sand, a mysterious dagger, and the Maharajah's daughter Farah along with other treasures, they continue to Azad. A dying Vizier, who had betrayed the Maharajah and aided King Sharaman in return for a share of the spoils, demands to have the dagger, as he was promised his choice of the Maharajah's treasures. But Sharaman refuses to take the dagger from his son, who captured it first.

So the Vizier, who wishes to harness the power of the sands in the hourglass for himself, making him an immortal god and giving him control over time itself, tricks the Prince into opening the hourglass. When the Prince uses the dagger to unleash the Sands of Time from the hourglass, the Sands destroy the kingdom and turn all living beings into hideous sand creatures. Only the Prince, the Vizier, and Princess Farah, the kidnapped daughter of the Maharajah, remain unchanged due to their possessions; the Prince's dagger, the Vizier's staff, and Farah's medallion.

Ok, so this movie... on one hand, this really does look like a good poster (a tad "300" but on a positive note), except that i can't shake this feeling of "Where did i park my car?" that i get whenever i look at it.

The plot doesn't seem to over-complicate things much too, which is good... maybe this is the video game movie that will break the rule?

I'll have faith in this movie for now.

I mean they could have picked better than the most caucasian of white men, but as far as looking eastern goes they could have done much, much worse too.

What's with the Warrior Within getup?

Come to think of it, what's with the Disney logo? Are we in for a watered down time travel shtick?

Honestly?

I don't see what they could have done to make it look more bland and slapped together, what with the grey background of vague doom and the blocky lettering that really doesn't seem set up in any particular way.

Well considering that's the the exact plot of the game almost exactly, I'm actually feeling pretty good that it will try to remain true to the source material.

But yeah, Jake? I'm guessing it's because they wanted some star power because they were afraid people wouldn't go otherwise.

Still, as long as he can be acrobatic and snarky that's all I care about.

Well, one would hope so, seeing as both the game and the movie were written by the same guy!

I like the poster, but I really hope that's not the final title font.

Yeah I have to wonder why it is that the game had this great blue-letters against golden sand washing across and then they take the movie poster stick Jake on there and go "All caps Arial and 70% opacity, that should do it."

He's wearing the wrong damn costume! With the wrong swords!

As long as he talks to himself.

So presumable there's going to be less jumping around and more sand monsters, more Farah romancing - unless they slide in the bath scene, and stick to the original plot - and less of the Prince talking to himself. Which was a great point of the game, I thought.

Anyways, I hope this is successful, because then we get a "darker and gritter" sequel and then the third movie will be all about Jake Gyllenhall arguing with the voice inside his head.

LORD no.

I honestly don't know how this is getting made.

It's so obviously a slow-motion trainwreck. How is nobody on the inside of this thing going "Guys. GUYS. This is a terrible idea. We have to stop."
