I'm not too acquainted with ancient Middle Eastern gang signs, so I can't be positive what Ben Kingsley is throwing up. But I have to assume it's evil, since he is the villain of PRINCE OF PERSIA.

The movie (subtitled THE SANDS OF TIME) is based on the long-running and bestselling videogame series, and features Jake Gyllenhaal in the title role. Kingsley, seen here on set in costume (unless he just came from a THUNDERBIRDS reunion), plays baddie Nizam.

Extra Tidbit: Persia is now officially known as the Islamic Republic of Iran. Which wouldn't sell quite as many movie tickets.

If they remake Flash Gordon Ben Kingsley has to be a lock for Ming the Merciless.

I dunno man.

I really want to see a trailer for this puppy so I can figure out if it's gonna blow or not, because the source material lends to a very awesome flick.
