I'm not enough of a gamer to know much about this PRINCE OF PERSIA, but it's apparently a pretty big deal with a pretty big fanbase. Hollywood tried getting a movie on the ground that would've been released last year but, as you might have guessed, that never happened. John August's script was jettisoned and now it looks like Disney is ready to give in the ole Jerry Bruckheimer treatment. The movie is scheduled to be the studio's big 2008 blockbuster and today, courtesy of Italian site Bad Taste, we have some look at production art. Now my Italian isn't very sharp but it would seem these guys aren't 100% they were created for the movie exclusively but they were found in some Disney investor's brochure advertising the movie. It certainly has the scope of something that Bruckheimer would look to put in one of his movies. Check out the art below and click on the image to head over to their site to check out a few more.

Extra Tidbit: The region of Ancient Persia is actually what we now refer to as Iran.

The Prince?
If it's being produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, I have a hunch about who will play the Prince, if not he'll at least be one of the contenders:



Orlando Bloom,



It will be interesting to see what tone they will go for. At first I believe they were basing it on the first game, Sands of Time which isn't as dark as it's sequel.



Who knows, I just hope it's...

Totally Agree
Yes, "CAMERONCRAZY" you are right. Iran and Afghanistan were both part of the ancient Persia, but Iran was not even on the map of the world. It was Afghanistan's empire known the world's strongest and barbaric army in the world, that even ALEXANDER's army was scared to fight them. Alexander did defeated the persian empire, he entered Afghanistan and then the people of Afghanisan at that time...

Alexander did defeated the persian empire, he entered Afghanistan and then the people of Afghanisan at that time WELCOMED ALEXANDER and till date some afghans name their kids after ALEXANDER and he was known as one of AFGHAN KINGS too, he married an Afghan girl ROXANNE and had a son.



Afghans are the real Persians, Iranians nope, they are just Iranians.

OH OH!!!!
Sometimes I think why they call IRAN the PERSIA, when AFGHANISTAN is the real one. Afghanistan has a very old history than Iran and Iran was not even on the map when AFGHANISTAN army was known as the PERSIAN ARMY and one of the strongest and barbaric army in the world.

We'll see...
It's a Jerry Bruckheimer production, so it will probably look incredible, be very noisy, have some great action pieces, but will be as empty as a chocolate rabbit.

I hope that the film really manages to distill the essence of Prince of Persia.



ie, the lead character dies every five minutes from stepping on the wrong bit.
