Prince of Persia !!!

Finally I’m posting on the correct date! And it’s a great tip for those who love games. (Just to apologize, the post about the “Clash of the Titans” is my post also…)

“Prince of Persia: Sands of Time” is the new action-adventure fantasy film done by the Walt Disney Pictures with the same producers from the “Pirates of the Caribbean”. This movie is based on the 2003 video-game with the same title, developed by Ubisoft Montreal.

The story, pretty much like the game, follows Dastan, the boy who was adopted by the Persia’s king to be his heir to the throne. From there, his main objective is to rescue the wanted ancient “Dagger of Time”, which has the ability to go back in time by short periods, allowing changing the past. However, to control such power, he has to fight against the villain Nizam, who owns the dagger. To do it, he will have the help from Princess Tamina, stopping Nizam from creating a sandstorm that could destroy the world.

The film is directed by Mike Newell and is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, the same from “Pirates of the Caribbean”. The main characters are played by Jake Gyllenhaal as Dastan, Gemma Arterton as Princess Tamina and Ben Kingsley as Nizam. The movie is around 120 minutes of running time and has a budget near the U$ 150 million.

In my personal opinion I think this movie can be a great one, especially because I really like this game, and the good news is that it will be released on May 28. However, it will be only available in 2-D technology.
