ZeldaFreak Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Walt Disney are backing the film, umm, this kinda means they'll market the prince to death but themepark attractions everywhere. And even create characters to walk around the parks. Just like they did with PotC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Hmm, yes it will be interesting to see how this actually works and how it will be done. I'm going to keep my eye on this as it shapes up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 By teh power vested in me as mod I pronounce this thread... merged! *waves fairy wand* The art work looks kinda epic have to reserve judgement though. Movies like this are often ruined by using CG over miniatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero-of-Time Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 As I said in the other thread the words Jerry and Bruckheimer ensure this will be crap. Really? I love just about all his films. Im looking forward to seeing the first footage of this, hopefully it will have a PotC feel to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMad Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Cool, if this film is good then maybe it will translate into a good Kingdom Hearts world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potc basically the only one ive ever been able to watch all the way through without wanting to gouge my own eyes out. But each to there own.

Maybe a bit difficult seen as ubisoft hold the rights to it, the prince of persia franchise that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, there's always ways of getting around these things, one of the worlds in the game doesn't even belong to Disney but it still made it in there. Still there's far better films that can make it into the next one; Toy Story, The Incredibles and Robin Hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like they did with PotC you...err..you do know that POTC was based on a themepark ride, right? and as for all the fucking Depp reccomendations: the very idea makes me want to hurt puppies. Have you not thought that, oh my god, maybe they should maybe use a Middle Eastern actor for the prince of Persia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 http://uk.movies.ign.com/articles/795/795147p1.html Disney sets Prince of Persia release date. Walt Disney Pictures has set a release date for their big-screen adaptation of the best-selling Ubisoft videogame Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. The Jerry Bruckheimer-produced film will hit theaters on July 10, 2009, if all goes according to plan. The Prince of Persia movie has been in development at Walt Disney Pictures since 2004, with the game's creator Jordan Mechner having penned a script with screenwriter John August supervising. No actors or director are attached to the project at this time, but official word on talent should start trickling out soon if the film is going to meet the planned 2009 release date. Frequent Bruckheimer collaborator and Transformers helmer Michael Bay has been rumored to be up for the directing gig. Really looking forward to this one! It's not being rushed and there are some great names surrounding it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offence to anyone on here, but hardcore Johnny Depp fans are pretty obnoxious. They just say JD should play every person in every film. Yes hes got talent, but sheeeesssh.

mcj metroid Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Not sure it will be in this case though! If it's anything near as good as the Pirates movies, which it should be considering everyone who's working on it! it really could be awesome! the game's going to be better than the movies lol..THat ain;t convincing me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Still, would have been better if they had gone with what people wanted; an actual Persian prince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEVILMURRAY Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 It's going to be like 300. With a shitload of unnessecary slow motion portions. At least they can blame the Sands Of Time this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro_Link Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 http://uk.movies.ign.com/articles/878/878654p1.html Prince of Persia Cast Expands Ben Kingsley (Sexy Beast) It's unclear what role Kingsley will have - we're hoping it's the villain. Alfred Molina (most famous as Dr Octavius in Spider-Man 2) Molina set to play Sheik Amar - the young prince's mentor. Not really sure these castings are going so well.
