The trailer for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time showed us quite a bit of action, looking every bit the Jerry Bruckheimer summer movie it's been designed to be. Now there's a new featurette that focuses on Dastan, the Jake Gyllenhaal character.

Gyllenhaal joins director Mike Newell and Lord Bruckheimer in talking a little bit abot the character and the genesis of the subtitle, The Sands of Time. There's also what I think is our first look at Alfred Molina, so that's good news for the ladies.
There appear to heavy doses of action in this flick, a lot of it performed by Gyllenhaal himself, and it also looks like it's following the formula of Pirates of the Caribbean, with more saucy humor that you might have originally expected.
This will be the big hit of Memorial Day weekend, I'm thinking. Light, fun, easy to look at - all that Bruckheimer blah blah. It's worked for him so far.
