Trailer - 'Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time'

DateMonday, November 2, 2009 at 6:45PM
Looks good, sounds...not quite as good. There's a new Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time trailer - and we'll probably get a higher quality one soon enough - and the action is expectedly Bruckheimered. But there's an awful lot of exposition in this trailer, and I don't think I've noticed in a while the ubiquitous British accents in non-Western epics quite as much as I do here. Overall, I'd prefer a lot more shutting up.

Putting all of that aside, it definitely looks like a movie that belongs smack dab in the middle of summer. You probably won't have to think hard at all and it should sell plenty of popcorn. I have plenty of confidence in Jake Gyllenhaal to pull this role off, although I wish they hadn't gone with an American at all for this film and given him, I dunno, Jack Ryan or something instead.

Again, I would suspect we'll get a better version soon, so you can see all those visual effects in their high definition glory.

I bet this one will be tough to beat on Memorial Day weekend. Well, if Dinsey ever figures out how to promote its movies, that is.

It looks like a promising movie based on games. If producers would be able to get a good director and scriptwriter, game inspired movies will be a trend. Oh well, if that happens I'll be having a good reason to take a break from grinding aion kinah or joining raids.
