We already know that Jake Gyllenhaal and Gemma Arterton have signed up to be in the movie adaption of Prince of Persia, but now Sir Ben Kingsley and Alfred Molina are also to star in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. The movie is based on the very popular video game; many are hoping that the movie will be more popular than other video games to movie adaptions have been. Spider-Man 2 star Molina will play the part of Sheik Amar; he will become the mentor to the prince played by Gyllenhaal.
As yet there is no details as to who Kinsley will be playing, but there are rumours that he could be playing villain Vizir, well come on he is made for the part. What we have to remember is the writers are not sticking to the storyline of the game, so it is anyone’s guess who Sir Ben will be playing. You can expect some great action from this Prince of Persia movie, I do have a good feeling about this movie, but that must have something to do with Jerry Bruckheimer. It looks as though this movie could break the mould when it comes to video game to the big screen.
I d hope that his villain character in this new movie is much better than his poor performance in Thunderbirds; however I suppose he could only do so much with what he was given. Filming for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is set to start in Morocco and the UK next month, get ready to see a host of set pictures.
