Gyllenhaal and Arterton Cast in Prince of Persia

The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that Jake Gyllenhaal (who was first rumored by Latino Review) and Gemma Arterton (upcoming Quantum of Solace) will star in Prince of Persa: The Sands of Time, Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer Films' adaptation of Ubisoft's popular video game. Mike Newell is directing.

In the fantasy adventure, Gyllenhaal will play Dastan, a young prince in sixth century Persia who must join forces with Tamina (Arterton), a feisty and exotic princess, to prevent a villainous nobleman from possessing the Sands of Time, a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world.

Doug Miro & Carlo Bernard, Jordan Mechner and Boaz Yakin wrote the script, which is based on the many games created by Jordan Mechner.

Bruckheimer is producing, while Mike Stenson, Chad Oman and Patrick McCormick are exec producing.

Production is set to start in July.

WTF??
Prince of Persia???

Even it is just Sands of Time, but I hope they have Kaileena...

don't forget who's the other stuidio will be producing this movie beside Bruckheimer.

Yup, DISNEY

So that's mean this will be a family rated movie, which also means there won't be any boobies, no blood, no gore, no sex, no nude scenes, no swearing, no violence, and probably limited body count...

Hey, probably there will be scene with the prince and the princess sitting on a magical flying carpet and singing A Whole New World!

It's ain't PoP without all those violent and gore
