This comes as a huge blow to fans that want a faithful adaptation of the PoP franchise. A company spokesperson for Ubisoft, in speaking with CVG, said that Ubisoft has no involvement with Disney’s Prince of Persia movie:
“The new Prince of Persia film is a collaboration between [Prince of Persia creator] Jordan Mechner and Disney,” it said. “Ubisoft has no involvement.”
This also means that the recent acquisition of Hybride Technology by Ubisoft is completely unrelated to the Prince of Persia movie, some of us had hoped that the effects studio behind 300 would soon be coming aboard the project – though this latest news does put down these rumors, a further comment is encouraging:
“Hybride and Ubisoft will work together to share technology and develop tools in order to optimize the creation of both video games and visual effects. Ultimately, we expect to use the partnership to leverage our brands in the movie industry.”

Prince of Persia was delayed for May 28th 2010, sucks but at least it’s a better release window.

*UPDATE*
I surely hope the movie will be a success. It’s unfortunate that Ubi isn’t involved though. I hope Disney can keep the film as faithful as it is to the games even without their help.
