Here it is! The official movie trailer for Walt Disney’s Prince of Persia. Spiritual successor to the Pirates franchise? It sure looks like it. But will Jake Gyllenhaal’s Dastan be a boring straight arrow like Will Turner or a memorable show stealer like Jack Sparrow? The characters (not special effects) will be the real deciding factor inthe film’s success. You don’t see cast members dressed as Will Turner walking around Disneyland.
0:10 Instead of ‘Jerry Bruckheimer Films,’ it should say ‘prepare for explosions, you mortal men!’
0:19 Nice panoramic fly-by. Makes me think there will be some hardcore parkour.
0:34 Is that an homage to the Dark Prince from The Two Thrones?
0:45 Ivy wins!
0:50 Creepy man in black robe who looks like G-man from Half-Life? Gee, I wonder if he’s a bad guy.
0:52 This view of the city makes me want to play Heroes of Might and Magic.
o:53 Sir Ben Kingsley, was Bloodrayne not enough to tarnish the Oscar?
0:58 Girl is all up in his face
1:09 The princess’ bossy attitude and her fake, wannabe Angelia Jolie accent get on my nerves.
1:13 Who washes skeletons before hanging them up?
1:16 “Frodo! The ring!”
1:22 Why is the princess mocking Dastan for saving her?
1:36 Looks like they accurately captured the wall-jumping and vertical architecture from the game
1:47 There she goes, bossing him around again. Do I sense a Guybrush and Marley-esque relationship?
2:04 And he just stands there…
2:18 There will be a lot of jumping… and sand… and back flipping off falling sand onto more sand.
2:25 Prince of Persia. Filmed in Morocco. Starring British people.
