Less than 24 hours ago we got our first look at a trailer for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, and now we have another one. This one is an international trailer, although it doesn’t specify where, so lets just assume it’s for Ireland. It shows lots of new footage and is set up completely different to the first trailer. I prefer the trailer we got yesterday as it was a bit more epic, but this one is still cool.

Watch the Irish trailer for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time below!

The film stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Gemma Arterton, Ben Kingsley and will be released next May.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time trailer!

The trailer for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time was broadcast on UK TV earlier today and had found it’s way onto YouTube in sub-par quality. IGN were originally going to officially release the trailer at 7pm PST, however as it was already online they decided to put it out there early in HD, and I’m glad they did. It’s quite good.

I didn’t really know what to expect from this. Jerry Bruckheimer wanted to create a new franchise after Pirates of the Caribbean, and from the trailer it looks like Persia is going to be huge. It’s a special effects heavy blockbuster, with two good looking leads and lots of action. Who won’t be seeing this?

Yesterday we got posters of Jake Gyllenhaal as Prince Dastan and Gemma Arterton as Tamina, now it’s time for us to see the face of the bad guy in the form of Sir Ben Kingsley. In Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Kingsley plays Nizam, the brother of King Shahrman of Persia, who he kills and, like the evil son of a moose he is, puts the blame on Dastan. Nizam then claims the throne of Persia and, in order to achieve immortality and power, he seeks the Sands of Time to eventually take over the world.

From UGO:

Okay let me get my villain check list out: 1) British actor 2) Evil facial hair 3) Wants to take over the world. Yep, this is our villain.

Seanbajuice directed us to our first look at Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. In the video below you will see producer Jerry Bruckheimer talking about the actors (Jake Gyllenhaal, Gemma Arterton, Ben Kingsley), the characters and story. However the best bits are when we are shown snippets of footage throughout interview. Watch below!

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time still has another year to go before it is released, so I doubt we will be getting much over the next few months, unless they plan on releasing a teaser during this summer’s movie season.

First Look At Ben Kingsley On The Set Of Prince of Persia

Defamer got themself a picture of Sir Ben Kingsley taking a break from filming Prince of Persia. I like how he’s got that ‘evil moustache’ thing going on, I mean how are we supposed to know he’s playing the villain if he hasn’t got an ‘evil moustache’?

Sir Ben has been hit and miss with his movies. He won an Oscar and has been nominated quite a few times, however he did have a role in BloodRayne and more recently, The Love Guru. Lets hope Prince of Persia doesn’t turn out crappy.

Prince of Persia Pushed Back To May 2010

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time has been pushed back from June 19th 2009 to May 28th 2010. This is to avoid competition from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen which would have been released a week after. Now it will go up against Shrek Goes Fourth and Thor, which will be released a week before and a week after Persia.

The cast of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time includes Jake Gyllenhaal, Gemma Arterton, Ben Kingsley and Alfred Molina.

Ben Kingsley Talks Price Of Persia

Sir Ben Kingsley recently spoke to Empire about a number of his upcoming movies, one of which is the game-to-movie adaptation of the Prince of Persia: The Sands Of Time.

“”We’re bringing to it all the scrutiny that a great myth would deserve,” he says. “It’s quite wonderful being around the table discussing the video game – which I’m aware of but don’t know anything about.
“It’s really quite beautiful how it’s building up with all our actors, with the writers sitting there, with the director sitting there, it’s really holding up very well. Most of my stuff is with Jake Gyllenhaal, who plays the Prince (Dastan), and I’m a father figure who lets him down very, very badly in the film. I’m the villain actually. It’s interesting because his own father dies early in the film and I take over and I’m completely manipulative.”

Prince of Persia: The Sands Of Time will be released June 2009 in the US and August 2009 in the UK, a whole two months later. I don’t get it.

Alfred Molina And Ben Kingsley Join The Prince of Persia!

British actors Alfred Molina And Ben Kingsley will join fellow British actress Gemma Arterton and non British actor Jake Gyllenhaal in The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. There was absolutely no need for me to point out their nationality whatsoever but I got a little patriotic for a moment there. Alfred Molina is best known for playing Doc Ock in Spider-Man 2, and will play Sheik Amar, who becomes a mentor to the prince.

Ben Kingsley is best known for having a bald head, along with gaining my respect by staring in good movies such as Schindler’s List and Lucky Number Slevin. However, he grabbed my respect and shoved it up a cow by staring in Thunderbirds, Bloodrayne, The Last Legion, A Sound of Thunder and The Love Guru. It seems for every good movie Ben Kingsley does there are 5 crappy ones on the way. Hopefully The Prince of Persia will be one people actually want to see, and from Latino Reviews script review it seems they will. They gave it an A-

Trivia: Jake Gyllenhaal could have been battling Molina onscreen in Spider-Man 2 if Tobey Maguire’s back was still bad.
