Posted on: November 2nd, 2009 PRINCE OF PERSIA Trailer Stinks To High Heavens
Now here’s a real piece of shit.
Forgive me… you desire ‘unbiased journalism’… let me start again…
Here’s something that looks like a piece of shit. It’s the trailer for the film adaptation of the popular video game Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. The film stars Jake Gyllenhaal as the titular prince, which is totally inspired casting. I mean, look at the dude, he looks like a Persian prince, right? It’s uncanny. He was born to play this role. Looks to me like Disney is re-hashing the Pirates of the Caribbean formula to start a new, goofy franchise; in fact it’s the same team behind this flick.
Check out the eye-rollingly bad trailer:

If that didn’t evoke a Pavlovian response in your mouth, here’s the official synopsis:
Set in the mystical lands of Persia, PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE SANDS OF TIME is an epic action-adventure about a rogue prince (JAKE GYLLENHAAL) and a mysterious princess (GEMMA ARTERTON) who race against dark forces to safeguard an ancient dagger capable of releasing the Sands of Time—a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world.
The film hits theaters next oh fuck it I don’t care.
