Could Prince of Persia Do It? I'm Not Sure I'm Ready to Believe...
Due to some computer transitions and internet problems, I've been away for a bit, but have no fear my five faithful readers, I'm  back online and working at full capacity.  As stated in my review of District 9, I have a large doubt in video game movies.  For some reason, movies based on video games suck despite there being a huge potential.  I won't go back into the rant, but I will bring you a lovely new trailer for the latest video game adaption: Prince of Persia.



Pretty baller huh?  Jake Gyllenhaal is usually a solid actor and he looks good here (I mean acting wise...not because of the muscles or stubble).  If you think you recognize the girl from somewhere, its probably from her role as Agent Fields in Quantum of Solace.  The director is a talented director, having handled everything from Four Weddings and a Funeral to Donnie Brasco to Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (which I thought was beautiful).  Lastly, it has basically the same production team as the Pirates trilogy with Jerry Brukheimer and Disney at the helm.

Everything seems perfect....too perfect.  And for Prince of Persia fans, the screenplay was written by the writer and creator of the Prince of Persia saga (both the new ones and the original).  The entire saga is known for some fantastic story telling so who know, maybe the curse will be broken.  Maybe Roger Ebert will have to stop making fun of video games (which he does every chance he gets).  Or maybe it will suck...and I will cry like the Indian man from those littering commercials they had back in the day.

Hmmmm, interesting... very interesting. I dont see video games made into movies as a curse so much as just inevitable sucking. There is no way, (no matter how awesome the preview looks) that this movie will be any good. Im also very aware of the distinct possibility of Jake going gay at some point

It looks like it's gonna be Disney's next Pirates of the Caribbean..which definitely won't be a bad thing.
