'The Prince of Persia'... the 1st of many great Video-game Movies to come.
Not since the first Mortal Kombat movie (whether you chose to believe it or not), has a videogame property been made into a faithful and successful film. True, the Resident Evil series has had financial successes in the box-office but fans of the videogame franchise have left unsatisfied and wanting.
For the sake of getting a headache, I am not going to post, write, or even mention the slew of films Uwe Boll produced (for obvious reason). And I think the Street Fighter movie (both) is a dead horse and doesn't need to be beaten anymore.
After the fallout of the Halo movie development, videogame movie hopefuls were once again left disappointed and seemingly feeling neglected, as I'm sure the development team did as well.
I'm still personally hurt by this because after seeing District 9 and the stuff Blomkamp shot after the development drop, I was hoping that a movie would be close behind.
Thankfully, God sent the script through the hands of Jerry Bruckheimer. I for one am very excited because I know the scale of movies that JB produces coupled with my gift of "good film intuition". The best thing about this movie, aside from the things that I know could have made it a more faithful "looking" movie, is that after this put out and it makes the boat-load of money that it is going to make, other great properties that have been in development hell and/or dormant, will finally come into fruition.
The Prince of Persia already having the scent of a movie franchise on it evermore increases the possibility that other studios that hold the rights to numerous videogames will want to jump on the "new" moneymaking bandwagon. Plus, the damn thing is being held together by Disney, the company that brought us the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, which JB also produced. JB has already likened this film to be an epic, which from the look of it will be.
I can't help but have a complete NERDGASM over the fact that games like Gears of War, Mass Effect, Halo (eventually), and possibly Metal Gear Solid are becoming closer and closer to becoming a cinematic reality. Some of the aforementioned titles being made into movies are entirely different discussions all there own, but knowing that Prince of Persia is being taken seriously kind of paves the way for them.
We all should that it takes a considerable amount of time for genre movies such as these to made properly. It took decades for a serious comic-book to be made and it's taken several painful attempts to produce an admirable videogame movie to come out. Now I know I'm jumping the gun with this whole thing, but like I mentioned before, I have a sixth sense when it comes to good (if not great) films, call me cocky.
Soon, very soon, we will see anime films taken seriously, but for now let's not hold our breaths'. (until James Cameron makes one).

Hell, me too. But really, when it comes to movies, I always go with my guts. If my guts were wrong, so be it. Judging from the trailer though, I know I will enjoy the movie. Maybe not as a video-game movie, but at least as an adventure one. I might also go see Clash of the Titans for the very same reason.

That's pretty funny... Given the criticism it still continues to get this day (before it's come out), I still have high hopes. Optimistic I guess.

You know something?
Last time I went to the cinema I saw the trailer for Prince Of Persia and my friend who's sitting next to me says: "A videogame movie, they never turn out well".
And then the trailer that came after was for a movie called "Furry Vengeance" with Brendan Fraser, and then he turns around and says:" You know, Prince Of Persia isn't looking so bad now."

Hopefully this opens a door for a great and epic God Of War Movie with the big black french dude from blood diamonda Hounsou or something. Hit man was a disaster so i relly got my hopes up for this one.

Enough with the "why is the prince white?" comments. Why are they speaking with a british accent? lol
Is there a rule in Hollywood which says that movies set in the early centuries must be spoken with a british accent?

Damn, people love to nit-pick for the sake of nit-picking.
Who gives a fuck if the lead is white, as long as it is a good compelling story with decent-to-good acting?
From the trailer, the fact that the prince is white is the least of this movie´s problems

If the Prince of Persia movie actually turns out to be good, I will upload a video of me punching myself in the testicles.
