Yes Hollywood have crowned their Prince of 6th century Persia, Jake will be playing the role of Prince Dastan as he works to stop an evil nobleman from pinching the Sands of Time.
The ”feisty and exotic” Princess Tamina is taken up by new bond girl, Gemma Arterton, who’s in the new Quantum of Solace with 007.
Mike Newell is to direct the film and he’s no newcomer, his previous works include Four Weddings and a Funeral, Pushing Tin, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and many others. Okay that’s the guy behind the camera and all the loud shouting but who’s behind the written word?
Doug Miro, Carlo Bernard and Boaz Yakin along with franchise creator Jordan Mechner are the wordsmiths and to finish the cinematic magic is producer Jerry Bruckheimer. He wouldn’t reveal the projected budget for the Royal flick but did say ”it’s not one of our smaller productions.”
No ‘Uwe’ and no ‘Boll’, already the films got 3 stars.
