Reelz Channel will soon be posting a video interview with Mike Newell concerning the Prince of Persia Movie adaptation. In the mean time, Reelz report:

From the way he was talking, Newell made it clear that he plans to make this movie. The only thing that is holding up progress is indeed the writers’ strike that has ground Hollywood to a hault. [...]

When asked if and how the ‘dagger of time’ would figure into the movie, Newell affirmed that it will be the main focus. ‘It’s all about the dagger of time,’ he told us.

Thanks Westley!

Well, this was a turn up for the books and something I didn’t really see coming. It seems that Jerry Bruckheimer and Disney have made an offer to Mike Newell (Harry Potter Goblet of Fire, Donnie Brasco) to direct, according to Variety. Negotiations are expected to begin in the coming week.

Thanks to John for the heads up.
