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.

Prince of Persia movie not in 3D

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.

New Prince of Persia Dastan images surface

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.

New Prince of Persia movie footage

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.

More pictures of Jake as the Prince of Persia

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

Did you catch the Prince of Persia poster?

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.

New Poster to appear in “Confessions of a Shopoholic”

Persia — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 23:08:04 +0000

The new poster for the Prince of Persia movie will first be appearing in a rather unusual place, the rather cheeky Jerry Bruckheimer has put it into his new movie, “Confessions of a Shopoholic”, which’ll be the first place you can see it, so report MTV:

Fans looking for a first look at the poster art for the upcoming, “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time” will have to head to the movie theater to see it, though it won’t be in the place they might expect.

Mega-Producer Jerry Bruckheimer has hidden the poster inside his latest film, “Confessions of a Shopaholic”, appearing as a Times Square advertisement about halfway into the film. It joins posters for a number of other Bruckheimer productions, including the upcoming “G-Force”, though “Persia” is unique in that it marks the first time the films’ artwork has been seen anywhere.

Prominently featured on the poster is lead actor Jake Gyllenhaal in full-costume as Prince Dastan.

Jake interview and first video footage

Persia — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 20:17:32 +0000

ET Online have posted a video interview with Jake Gyllenhaal, showing quick snippets of action, Jake having some fun and Jerry Bruckheimer. It’s pretty laid back, and, as media movie scoops tend to go, this one is pretty good.

Note the quick panning shots of Morocco, the two sworded action scenes.
