Our first glimpses at the construction of the Prince of Persia movie set have come to us via Korben & Rocho. These pictures were taken at Ait Ben Haddou in Morocco; it looks like they are creating a full town with streets et al. It is also interesting to compare them to the concept art that was released in April 2007.

These first glance images come via Just Jared, showing a shirtless Jake Gyllenhaal looking all hunky and manly as The Prince.

Disney has today announced that the Prince of Persia movie adaptation will no longer be hitting its June 19th 2009 release date - instead being pushed back a whole year to May 28th 2010. Rather than contend with the likes of Transformers 2, the PoP movie will now be up against Shrek Goes Fourth and Marvel’s new title, “Thor”.
