Prince of Persia movie set to be Disney’s next blockbuster franchise starting summer 2008 (moved to 2009)

supadupagama February 24th, 2007 Listen to this article "Hey! Listen!"

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time for PS2This May the third Pirates of the Caribbean movie sees Captain Barbossa, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann make their final alliances for one last decisive battle. So what’s next for Disney?

According to Disney blogger Jim Hill The Walt Disney Company has gone franchise-crazy lately, with sequels being prepped and/or considered for virtually every project the studio currently has in its production pipeline. To quote:

prince of persia and rival princess“This is why Walt Disney Pictures — in conjunction with Jerry Bruckheimer Films — is now gearing up to put a “Prince of Persia” movie into production. Because it’s thought that a film based on this hugely popular series of Ubisoft Entertainment games (Which — in theory — will be Disney’s big action-adventure release for the Summer of 2008) could then lead to a new hit series of movies for the studio.” [The movie has since been moved to Summer 2009.]

The first blockbuster movie will likely be based on the excellent video game Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, which follows an adventurous prince who teams up with a rival princess to stop an angry ruler from unleashing a sandstorm that could destroy the world. — One big question is which actors will play the prince and princess? Another big question is asked by 1up, and it’s if like back in 2004, the original Prince of Persia game designer Jordan Mechner will still be writing the script?

    John Abraham is indian not persian. I totally agree tho, Persia back then and India kinda shared the same boundaries so we all have similar ancestory. I’m kashmiri so i’m definitely persian - i think they should pick me and if i had a choice of co-star, bipasha basu would be SOOO NICE! =P

    This is a horrible idea- if Disney is going to do this then they’re pretty much going to throw most of the story. I think that it’s going to be too light, yeah a Prince and Princess are going to stop a villian from unleashing a devastating sandstorm over the world; most likely its going to be the main sugar-coated plot line as all Disney media tends to make everything.

    Don’t mess with a brilliant game.

    Okay, use these hints:
    1. Calm down
    2. Use every trick in the book
    3. Re-read the manual for added details
    4. Observe all your surroundings
    5. Talk to anyone you can
    6. Use your brain :mrgreen:

    P.S. I have honestly never played this game (even though I own it) and I don’t know why I’m on this site, but hey, whatever. :mrgreen:

    I heard that Prince David K. Hassan was going to play the Prince.
    Disney will screw this in the most horrible way possible. They are going to dumb it down, and all of they loyal PoP fans will cry, just like all of the Harry Potter, LOTR, Eragon, and any other book-to-movie fans will. I want to veto Disney for making this, we need some other movie making company to do this without ******** this!!!
