A second official Prince of Persia movie trailer has been released, this time it’s the international version. It is slightly different with the odd new glimpse, although it doesn’t show Ben Kingsley.

Thanks to all those that sent this one in!

We’ll have an analysis for you shortly.

Just to clarify, Disney recently announced a slew of “Disney Digital 3D” movies coming out in 2010. Prince of Persia was included in that list. It’s inclusion has since been confirmed as a mistake by Walt Disney Pictures contacts.

Prince of Persia was filmed in 2D and will be presented in 2D, there are no plans to digitally adapt it into 3D, a process many disagree with.

Thanks Nick.

Mohammed Fathy has been in contact with some new images from the big screen Prince of Persia adaptation. You may recognise a couple of these angles if you’ve watched the TV footage already.

We had a sneak preview of a Prince of Persia movie poster via a shop window reflection in Confessions of a Shopaholic, said poster does not resemble the oddly futuristic ones recently released. The intense black and white posters are garnished with strong typography that I don’t rate highly – it feels somehow that they have missed the point? “Deny the future”. Although some are arguing that this stops the movie looking like a video game to movie adaptation – it is sleek and slick and could help the film find its audience.

Thanks Suzy, Jerry, Javier and Ivan!

Our first extensive look at the Prince of Persia movie has come via ABC, in a feature that interviews PoP producer Jerry Bruckheimer. The footage, which bears the text ‘this film is not yet rated’, could be the snippets of an unfinished trailer; it appears to be edited in a fashion that matches a trailer. We get to see Jake Gyllenhaal training to become the Prince, Ben Kingsley, numerous shots of Jake battling topless, the expansive Moroccan set and Gemma Arterton as Tamina.

“Great adventure and wonderful action”

The Huffington Post has nabbed some images of Jake Gyllenhaal, topless again, as Dastan, the Prince of Persia. This is yet another look for the Prince, although Jake is once again looking buff, with a scar on left arm and abdomen. Which of the Dastan video game portrayals do these images fit into? The description that comes alongside the images, and reads as an official blurb, states:

“an adventurous prince who teams up with a rival princess [Tamina, played by Gemma Arterton] to stop an angry ruler from unleashing a sandstorm that could destroy the world.”

If you look closely, you can also see people behind Jake, possibly working on the set, suggesting these shots are not lifted directly from the movie. These images link to two very large resolution versions which come via Jake Gyllenhaal .nl

If any of you decided to watch Confessions of a Shopoholic you may have missed the Prince of Persia movie poster flashing in the reflection of the cab, do not fret, TTeba has contacted us with a clip showing that very scene. The poster itself looks very reminiscent of the video games.

The portrayal of the Prince in the movie seems to be an interesting combination of previous games, as one reader points out – the movie is entitled ‘Sands of Time’ – in the first look video we see Jake dressed in a white robe – similar to the 1989 prince and we also see clips of him donned up in the Warrior Within prince outfit. And now in this poster there is a hint of the Two Thrones character portrayal.
