Prince of Persia: The Movie

The adaptation of the popular game franchise has been in the works for awhile now. Jerry Bruckheimer has been helming the ship, and we now know who the director will be. Uwe Boll.

Okay, just kidding. Actually the long-time partnership of Michael Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer made this one a no-brainer. Coming off of the highly anticipated “TransformersTransformers reviews” movie adaptation, work is set to commence on the Prince of Persia film soon. The release date is slated for the SummerSummer reviews of 2009.

Why should anyone be excited about this movie? It is simple: Think Pirates of the Caribbean. Just as Disney used a very loose association with a theme-park ride to serve as the foundation of an original script, so too is the Prince of Persia team using the games as a general guide. The Arabian setting of Prince should make for a gorgeous backdrop for thrilling action scenes, just as the Caribbean worked for “PiratesPirates reviews“.
