Here it is:

English accents aside, the trailer does seem to capture the look and feel of the games… Thoughts?

Here’s the official movie poster for Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time starring Jake Gyllenhaal in the title role:

And here, for the sake of comparison, are the box covers for the Prince Of Persia games (the Playstation 2 releases) the movie’s based on:

The poster’s not bad.  A bit plain perhaps, but at least Jake Gyllenhaal looks the part.

Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time, which also stars Gemma Arterton, Sir Ben Kingsley, and Alfred Molina, is scheduled for a May 28, 2010 release date.

A movie based on the popular video game franchise Prince Of Persia is in the works, titled Prince of Persia: The Sands Of Time, and starring Jake Gyllenhaal as the title character, Gemma Arterton (I’ve never heard of her, but according to The Internet Movie Database, she has a role in this fall’s Quantum Of Solace, the followup to Casino Royale), Alfred Molina, and Ben Kingsley.

Excellent casting!

The movie, a “Jerry Bruckheimer production,” is being directed by Mike Newell (Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire, Four Weddings And A Funeral) and is scheduled for a 2009 release…

I’ve played through a bit of the first game, (Sands Of Time was hugely successful and led to two sequels, Warrior Within and The Two Thrones.), and I’ve seen the others in action.  

Seems promising.
