‘Prince of Persia’ Posters Have Wrong Font, No, I’m Not Nitpicking
Is it weird to say that what I like least about these Prince of Persia posters is the font? That sounds very strange to say, but it’s true. I feel like the movie needs to have posters in the style of Indiana Jones if it wants to be taken seriously as an action movie, rather than an ad for a new exhibit at the Natural History Museum.
Also, this is one of the first times I can really say it out loud. I think literally anyone could have taken the Prince role, and I have no idea why they chose Gyllenhaal. Anyone with muscles and long hair could have filled the Prince’s robes, after all, are they really trying to act like Jake Gyllenhaal is middle eastern? I mean they could put Jason Statham in there and I don’t think the film would have lost anything.
One more poster after the jump, aptly demonstrating my point about the font again.

They look more like ads you’d find in a magazine.
Anyway, this reminds me of when Playstation 3 used the same font as the Spider-Man movies.
The font reminded me of this: http://www.impawards.com/2008/body_of_lies_ver4.html
At least it’s not Comic Sans.
And can someone please explain to me why the glint in her left eye (our right) is on her lash-line and not on the eye itsself? Or AM I nitpicking?

What, you don’t put glitter on your eyelashes? I wouldn’t leave home without doing that.
