You figured me out. That is my entire reason for going to see this.

Jake Gyllenhal? I take it back, fuck this move.

Mirai Gen · 10-08-2008, 02:42 PM

Fifth's lack of hatred lasted about five minutes longer than I thought it would. Total time without hating it: 9 minutes.

While this is completely unsurprising I am curious to wonder what about Jake Gyllenhal pisses you off so badly?

For me its the shape of his head. I don't know why it incites rage, but he has a weird shaped head.

That he's starring in Prince of Persia.

It's just so stupid in so many ways.

Well, as much as I like Jake, my hopes would've been waaay higher for this movie if they went with that one poll and chose someone of actual royalty.

Mirai Gen · 10-08-2008, 03:25 PM

Is it the 'get a hot male lead cause it worked with Pirates' or the fact that he's not even slightly Persian?

He looks about ten years older than the prince in the first game. He might work for Warrior Within, though.

I'm not sure how you do a movie of this game because unlike a lot of games, it focused way more on long gameplay sequences (mainly of platforming, not combat) and a few plot points interspersed here and there. It'd be almost as bad as trying to do Contra the movie (and then again you'd have lots of guns blazing, anyway).

That guy is way too muscly to play the prince. I can't see him doing wallruns and shit and it not looking like matrix stuff, its supposed to be just the prince is really freakin' agile and badass, not magic.

Still stoked for the movie though.

who actually has sword fighting training, gymnastics experience, and looks like the Prince, and more than likely gets a whole country full of insta-viewers, as well as all the pretty boy status he can handle, yeaaaaah, let's turn him down

It's not like they've never done Parkour movies before.
