Prince of Persia FILM TRAILER OUT NOW!!!

[rainman2203]

First I was like :O
Then I was like
I ended up like

Really? Jake Gyllenhaal? Fucking Johny Depp would have been... okay maybe not but still. The kid from Donnie Darko? Really?

Wait...bloke taking some mystical item to a place in the middle of nowhere to stop the end of the world, while being chased by angry blokes wearing black who ride horses...Oh and the final location is guarded by some great evil demon?...

...This sounds an awful lot like Lord of the Rings to me. But I've never played Prince of Persia, so I might just be talking rubbish

Well, in the Sands of Time, there was no trip to middle of nowhere...the whole game pretty took place in and around a palace. Clearly a few liberties have been taken. I can understand the need to give the prince a name, but I hear the woman (who sounds terribly annoying in this trailer in my opinion) isn't called Farah. I may be over reacting to such a small detail but it just strikes me as a bit needless to give a different name to someone who is essentially going to be the same character from the game.

I'm not sure if I will go and see this or not, but we just now it'll turn out to be a fairly undemanding piece of fluff (it is a summer movie after all).

That said, if they don't have that odd bath house area from the game, I will be slightly disappointed.

Wasn't that followed by sexy-sexy time in some gold water?
Maybe I just dreamed that...

 

[GuerrillaClock]

Looks like it's had some decent weight put behind it, so it could be bearable. I am a bit concerend about the abusive amount of slow-mo and close-ups of arrows flying about though.

Yeh, that was the place, and no you didn't dream it. I was just struggling for a decent way to describe it, is all. I'm sure they've already got the inevitable romantic interlude in the film sorted out anyway...

 

[Pseudonym2]

Looks like a competent Lord of the Rings rip off.

... It best take place in gold water...

It was one of those every door looks the same, and brings you out in what looks like the exact same place things right? Regardless, it was too clever and trippy to be in this film.

(Also, thank you for clarifying that I don't have dreams about people canoodling in gold water. )

 

[More Fun To Compute]

It doesn't look bad and there are a couple of moments where it almost brings back the feeling of the game. I would be surprised if it as good as the game and it looks sort of 7/10ish.

Yeh, that was the place and you're right, probably best leave taht part in the game. Anyway, back to the subject of the trailer, it may have just been due to the typical trailer method of cramming as much exciting stuff in as possible, but I'm sure I could see some Dark Prince style effects at certain points in the trailer. Though maybe I am now just imagining things.

 

[Jenkins]

a solid MEH. I might see it, it depends if friends come with me or not>.>

 

[WorldCritic]

Don't get too excited, we've all been disappointed by past videogame movie failures (Super Mario, Dead or Alive, Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Final Fantasy, House of the Dead, Street Fighter, etc.)

 

[Kuchinawa212]

EVERYONE IS PLEASED!!!!

Aww I can't wait to watch this now. And then I'm going to get it on DvD, and then I'm going to watching it until I wear grooves into the disc

 

[Rusty Bucket]

I'd be more interested if the prince wasn't being played by such a wanker. God i hate him. He's also one of the least Persian looking people i've ever seen, and that long hair makes him look like a complete twat.

Other than that, looks kind of cool.

 

[Flux289]

Looks shit. Its just another hollywood movie where story, cleverness and meaning has been replaced with lots of cgi and awful dialogue. Whoever thinks this trailer is good has low standards for movies.

 

[Daedalus1942]

Okay I better be first with this so I'll keep it short - the trailer for the Sands of Time movie is out now!
It looks fantastic - finally a great adoption from game to film!

No more to be said just go here and watch :

Thank you IGN! You made the end of my day!
It's midnight here in Hungary so I'm off to bed (damn school tomorrow) but leave your comments I would like to hear your thoughts fellow Escapists!

It looks bearable, but the plot still appears to be absolutely nothing like the game *sigh*
At least Farah (I assume that's Farah) isn't as annoying as she is in the game.

 

[Actsub]

Gonna be SO terrible. Pudding eating cowboy Donnie Darko man? No thanks! Plus, the female narration was another of those unbearable "And so our story begins..." ones.

 

[Aqualung]

Well I liked it. I remember playing Sand of Time back in the day... I'll totally go and see this, that trailer was pretty epic. I was actually pleasantly surprised by Gyllenhaal- the girl, I'm not so sure...

 

[RanD00M]

Looks interesting.But i feel like it will be more of a "Wait for the DVD" movie for me.
