Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time — trailer
Here’s the latest HD trailer out for the much awaited and/or much hated Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time due out next May. With raunchy innuendo and tons of combat and parkour and glooorious physics-and-logic-defying special effects, Disney and Bruckheimer create something awfully similar to their former Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Except this time, there’s sand standing in for water.
I refuse to reduce Jake Gyllenhaal to the blockbuster beefcake he became; to me he will always be the self-aware sweetie who reads Herman Hesse for self-improvement, who portrays characters who reads Camus for self-improvement and can deftly dissect the Smurfs. TM. At least in PoP:tSoT (as I’m sure it will be reduced to) there is a crazy element of linear time travel/control and the ever awesome Ben Kingsley is thrown into the mix as a slippery scoundrel. Mwuahahaha.
