Not sure if this is real stuff ... Cause I just saw it on the web :/

Jerry Bruckheimer has been busy as of late with his Pirates franchise and his countless hit TV shows but still he has been working hard to get other film franchises off the ground. The IESB can exclusively report that his upcoming film, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, has found a director and a release date!

So I am sure you are wondering by now who Jerry has tapped to direct the adaptation of the best selling video game, right?

Bruckheimer has teamed up with him in the past to bring you Bad Boys I and II, The Rock, Pearl Harbor and Armageddon. Yes, that's right, Michael Bay is directing Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time for a Summer ?9 release.

The IESB was able to confirm with Disney Studios that they are hopeful that Michael Bay will indeed direct the picture right after he is done with this Summer's blockbuster, Transformers.

You might remember a couple of years ago when we confirmed that Bay was behind Transformers just as he was finishing The Island. So now, just as he is finishing up Transformers, we are announcing that he will in fact be behind Bruckheimer's Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.

This feature film adaptation is based on the video game, which follows an adventurous prince who teams up with a rival princess to stop an angry ruler from unleashing a sandstorm that could destroy the world.?/p>

The original creator of the game, Jordan Mechner, has said that "Rather than do a straight beat-for-beat adaptation of the new videogame, we're taking some cool elements from the game and using them to craft a new story - much as 'Pirates' [of the Caribbean] did with the theme park ride."

yeah, it's been floating around for quite some time, didn't realize Disney was doing it, though. Might actually mean the film could be pulled off. (Disney treats more mature stuff [like Pirate]with much more respect and ultimatly do a good job)

Yeah it's real, but i hope it doesn't get botched. I mean it can be very light hearted at times with the prince and his character, but if this turns out full kiddy Aladdin then i'll be annoyed. Besides, everyone in the world is pretty much a zombie, so it's like Dawn of the Dead but in Persia

i sure hope that Uwe Boll hasn't anything to do with it or its doomed. (the irony of his movie Doom ...)

The movie is up at IMDB, and it looks official. And the prince is being played by an aussie (hells yeah, from my neck of the woods.) His name is Charlie Clausen, and with long hair he does look like The Prince, minus the Persian heritage.

DISNEY?Aw man!They'll add some dumb humour to it,like in this latest Pirates of The Carribean movie.I mean,a ****ing rolling wheel where pirates fight eachother?!

Now,if it was made by the guy who directed 300!

Stickfinger · 04-16-2007, 06:01 PM

twilightkite · 04-16-2007, 06:04 PM
