We had heard that
Ben Kingsley had joined the cast of PRINCE OF PERSIA, but we didn’t know who he was playing. Now we know that he’ll be the villain of the picture; “Nizam”, who plots to kill his brother King Shahrman and blame it on Prince Dastan so he can take the throne. If you know what the hell any of that means, or who any of those dudes are, congratulations: you’re right at home here, since you’re officially an enormous geek.
Jake Gyllenhaal and Gemma Arterton are the hip, sexy leads in the movie and Mike Newell is directing. The film is of course based on the wildly popular Ubisoft videogame of the same name.
