Next summer's Bruckheimer-produced videogame adaptation PRINCE OF PERSIA is practically guaranteed to become a blockbuster... but you might not think so if you only went by the promotional material.

I don't know if this new scruffy-Jake poster (via Planeta Disney) is part of a series of images featuring the principal characters with forehead adjectives, but there must be a better way to advertise the flick's fantasy themes and sword-swinging spectacle.

And if you've never played any of the PERSIA videogames, another one that might interest you is on the way to tie in with the movie's release. Publisher Ubisoft says that the new game's goal "is to reach both audiences, the core and casual gamers. It will be a game that will have lots of combat, with the possibility for gamers that are not as good - a level for beginners. In that sense we are trying to cover both groups."

Source: Planeta Disney , Kotaku

Extra Tidbit: Will they promote the new game as "The game based on the movie based on the game"?

I loved the trailer and I'm actually hyped. It's a trailer that just screams "you have to watch this!" and I like that. Visuals look amazing. But the posters....*bleh*

They look like Empire Magazine covers.

oh well
no denying this movie will probably move his hollywood status up and he probably gets an insane amount of poontang, but no matter how buff he gets, i'll always see him as bubble boy.

"Courage, by Hugo Boss." That's right, Jake, give the camera your best 'bedroom eyes' look when they say the product name.

Did they even try with the logo here? Looks like the Basic Commercial font.

This movie is the sole reason why Iran will launch all of its nuclear missiles at us.

It takes a new turn on a cheesy Disney poster and makes it bad-ass and artsy. You all know it.

Is this supposed to be one of those inspirational poster? I don't get it...
Why couldn't they just make a poster look just like the video game cover? I'd be down for that a lil tip of the hat really

If the marketing and posters are any indication of what kind of movie we're gonna get, then we're gonna get a train wreck.

Oh brother
I just HAD to log on to weigh in on this poster and this movie. BAD IDEA...I think this is quite possibly the WORST casting I've ever heard of. I like Jake, but NOT in this movie, not in this role. How lame.

At least the previous one had swords. This one looks like an ad for aftershave. Except that he's, you know, unshaven.

Its a decent poster. Nothing to amazing but nothing to trash either.

Like Ive said before, nobody should go into this movie expecting something dark and violent. It's a pg13 disney action movie, expect nothing more.
