More Like the Princess of Persia

Wow.
I mean, I’ve never been terribly excited for the new Prince of Persia movie. I’ve honestly never played the games, and I know that I have a better chance of being struck by lightning on my walk home than a video game movie turning out to be good. But this new promo shot of Gyllenhaal as the prince is just…no.
First, has anyone from the film crew ever even seen a Persian before? If so, they must recognize that Gyllenhaal looks more black Irish than anything remotely near the middle east. Secondly, he looks like a huge pansy. Sorry Jake, I don’t care how buff you get, you’ll always be Donnie Darko to me. And sometimes you’ll be that guy that Heath Ledger made out with.
When does this movie come out? The summer? I don’t even know, I’ll probably just re-watch The Scorpion King and call it a day.

Last time I said this:

I got banned.
I really though that thing on his head was a dead cat… but… its odd… I think is he’s hair… the real one, I mean…
I think I prefer to see this prince than going again with the scorpion king. at least i will have a 10% chance that is not going to suck, with the scorpion, I know for sure.
The games were awesome. Groundbreaking in style and gameplay.
What the hell were they thinking letting DISNEY turn this into a movie? Its going to be more like a live action Alladin.
thank you! he looks nowhere near Persian, let alone what the game character looks like and his hairpiece is horrible looking. he seems like punk too. the character in the game is fucking gangster, a bomb-ass fighter, and all sinister looking and shit. not to mention he can kick some serious ass and do all this special walkin on walls flippin and flying thru the air shit. jakie is. . . none of the above
