Prince of Persia Movie Not a Videogame Movie

Don't let the fact that the upcoming Prince of Persia movie is based on the Prince of Persia games fool you--it's not really a videogame movie, or so says director Mike Newell, anyway.

*blog.wired.com/games/images/2007/11/12/popsandsoftime.jpg
Newell describes his project thusly:

It's not a videogame movie. It's a great story. If you had read the script, you would know that it wasn't a videogame. It's very exciting and it's immensely romantic and it's like Lost Horizon. It takes you to somewhere you've never been.

That's really gooooood.. atleast somebody is not making replica copies of something we've already seen. It's just like the james bond games.. we know what the story is.. and we know what to do in the game because we've already seen the movie with the same stoyline.. this is when things get onto my nerves.

Atleast few of them are thinking fresh. :D

But Watching Rewinding , Pausing Special effects in real is really good

What I meant is the story line. All the effects of a game carried over to a game is fine with me. But if it's the same story line is when the problem really comes in. ;)

yes to the big bang theory... saw a couple of episodes... :) its pretty darn funny... lolz..

and well, kaileena was so darn hot in the two thrones... damn... i cant really think of an actress who could project her... if anyone's seen sin city, there was a character called Miho, played by an actress called Devon Aoki.. she had a nice attitude in sin city, so i'l vote for her...

For prince I think Jhon abraham is good. :p

lolz... john abraham doesnt have long hair anymore... maybe they should get salman khan to don that weird wig he wore in that movie and play the prince...
but yeah... cant think of an actor who'd suit the prince's role...

I think Antonio banderas would fit the role perfectly, he's got long hair, he's done lot of action and heroic movies and iconic ones like 'Zorro'. I think he's a perfect candidate. :p

true... but he'd seem kinda old for bein the price though... no doubt he did a kicka$$ job in zorro and desperado... but i think it should be played by a strong dude with a sense of humour... the prince has a weird sense of humour lolz...

Seen underworld, and she looks like slim Farah with killer looks.

And for Prince Hugh Jackman (Van Helsing) is the best

Jake Gyllenhaal, :confused::confused: was he the only one left?@!

Looks like the "Micheal Jacksons" we see on our traffic signals everyday:x

Gemma Arterton plays " Tamina "
She's supposed to be the next Bond Girl. i thought that Hitman chick was to be the next Bond Gir?

So its rocket boy !!! lolz. looks decent IMO.

And Catherine Bell (Hitman gal) is not a better choice for bond flicks. We need a young slim chick like Rosamund Pike (Die Another Day bond gal).

OMFG Ben Kingsley as Nizam

And Prince Dastan (Dastan means Kahani = Story). Reminds me of my favorite childhood movie Dastaan-ae-Hatimtayi
