IGN teamed up with Prince of Persia game creator Jordan Mechner and together they dissect the new trailer for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, revealing some behind the scene info in the process. They rewind, pause, and slow-mo the trailer down to give us a better look at some of the stuff we have probably missed. They focus a lot of the dagger, and talk about what Jerry Bruckheimer and director Mike Newell have added to the movie which wasn’t in any of the games.

Here’s a second Prince of Persia trailer!

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?

Prince of Persia trailer description

The first trailer for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time won’t be released for another 2 weeks, however ComingSoon got the chance to see it early and they wrote down a description of what they saw:

The two-minute trailer starts off with a glimpse of the mythical land of Persia, which looks stunning, and then a brief look at the dagger that’s enclosed in a glass case.
“Have you ever wondered how you could have found such a treasure? The gods have a plan for you. A destiny,” we hear the princess saying as short clips of the scenes mentioned above play on the screen.
We then see Gyllenhaal jumping off a cliff and a few seconds later climbing a wall with arrows as his stepping stones. Someone shoots at him and he turns around looking nervous but annoyed as well.
“The sand turns back time,” the audience is told a few seconds into the trailer. “Only the holder of the dagger is aware of what’s happening.”
A quick clip is is shown of the prince holding the dagger and turning into sand.
“Only the dagger can unlock the sands of time. There are those who would use this power to destroy the world,” Arterton’s character explained. “The only way to stop this Armageddon is to take the dagger to the secret guardian temple.”
Although the footage we saw was brief, which made it difficult to see where the story is going, the rivalry and tension between the prince and princess was very clear. Their witty banter was entertaining and well-written.

The film actually finished filming last year so they’ve had months to get the footage together and finish the effects. Mike Newell (Goblet of Fire) is the director and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time will be hitting the big screen next May.

Earlier this month Empire got themselves the first look at some Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time posters, and now they have a bunch of new images from the film. I don’t know who they are sleeping with, but it’s producing results. The image below shows Prince Dastan (Jake Gyllenhaal) and Princess Tamina (Gemma Arterton) riding a horse.

Empire have received two exclusive posters for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. One features Jake Gyllenhaal as Prince Dastan and the other features the lovely face of Gemma Arterton as ‘mysterious princess’ Tamina. Click here to see them in full.

Prince of Persia finished filming a while back and was originally set to be released last month, however to save rushing post-production Disney decided to release it next May instead. Below is some behind the scenes footage we got a month or two ago.

Jake Gyllenhaal, Natalie Portman and Tobey Maguire get all serious

Liam — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 23:00:15 +0000

Jake Gyllenhaal, Natalie Portman, and Tobey Maguire are all in a movie together called Brothers, and it’s the opposite of a romantic comedy. Tobey Maguire plays a guy called Tommy Cahill who dies in Afghanistan. He leaves behind his wife, Natalie Portman, and two children, however his brother Jake Gyllenhaal is there to take care on them. Half way though the trailer you get the feeling that it will be one of those feel good films where they both help each other get over the loss and discover life can go on. However, it turns out Tobey Maguire isn’t dead after all and he returns to find that his brother is penetrating his wife and his children don’t like him anymore.

Tobey isn’t your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man in this film! Some trivia has been floating around the internet for a while that Jake Gyllenhaal would have played Peter Parker in Spider-Man 2 if Maguire’s back problems didn’t improve. I guess sleeping with his on-screen wife is Gyllenhaal’s payback.

First bit of footage from Prince of Persia!

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.

Prince of Persia targeting female audience

Liam — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 16:21:47 +0000

Two new images of Jake Gyllenhaal from Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time have appeared online over at The Huffington Post. The casting of Gyllenhaal all makes sense now. The game is mostly played by males which means Disney have that demographic, so in order to get females flocking to see this action/adventure they needed to hire a good looking A-Lister (just like they hired Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom for Pirates of the Caribbean). I know your game Disney! (And it will probably work).

ET Prince of Persia Set Visit

Entertainment Tonight sent a female and a camera crew to the set of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. While on the London sound stage they spoke to Jake Gyllenhaal about his physically demanding role, and we get to see some of the action being filmed. One scene involves Quantum of Solace Bond girl Gemma Arterton going at Gyllenhaal with a weapon.
