Brett Ratner takes on The Wolfman, Avatar, Prince of Persia and more
4 hours ago | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
Director Brett Ratner has had no involvement with Quentin Tarantino's recent war thriller Inglourious Basterds or with the upcoming films Avatar, The Wolfman or Prince of Persia, but somehow he has managed to get a cameo appearance in all of them, courtesy of some spoof posters on a new website.
Ratnerfilms depicts the filmmaker digitally added to publicity images of Joe Johnston's The Wolfman, James Cameron's Avatar, Mike Newell's Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and Grant Heslov's comedy The Men Who Stare at Goats (or stare at Ratner in this case), as well as several other releases.
It's not the first time Ratner has popped up imitating other roles. X-Men fans will remember him donning mutton chops, fake metal claws and a leather suit to portray Wolverstein, his version of Jackman's Wolverine, in a spoof publicity shot for X-Men: The Last Stand.

Prince of Persia On Set Interviews: Jake Gyllenhaal and Gemma Arterton
16 hours ago | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
While on the set of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, we had a chance to talk to some of the cast. Below you will find our roundtable interviews with Jake Gyllenhaal and Gemma Arterton: You've done big movies like The Day After Tomorrow and you've had some opportunities to do a franchise movie, so what was it about this particular franchise that made you want to be involved in it? Jake Gyllenhaal: I think just on a personal front, it was just so unlikely and so unlike anything I'd ever played really, and any type of movie that I think anyone would expect, that I just kind of wanted to do it. (laughs) It felt like that personally, but also, more than anything, when I talked with Mike Newell about it, it wasn't just like your normal video game adaptation. It was an actual massive epic »

Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time Trailers
8 November 2009 10:20 AM, PST | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »
Next year will see the release of the Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer production of Prince Of Persia: The Sands of Time. Based on the popular videogame and starring Jake Gyllenhaal sporting a British accent, Disney has huge hopes for this adaptation. Could it be as lucrative as the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise?
After watching the three new trailers (two international and one Us) I am still in two minds about this one. While it looks very expensive I can’t help but find Gyllenhaal just slightly miscast.
The story will loosely follow the plot of one of the later games in the series as our hero finds a dagger that gives him the ability to turn back time with magic sand. He must get it back to its rightful owners before the evil Ben Kinglsey uses it to destroy the world.
Directed by Mike Newell the film has Jake and »

Producer talks The Lone Ranger and Pirates of the Caribbean 4
6 November 2009 5:09 AM, PST | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer has confirmed that Disney is moving forward with its planned movie based on The Lone Ranger, with Johnny Depp cast as native American sidekick Tonto.
Bruckheimer said they were now aiming for a 2012 release. Mike Newell - whose credits include Four Weddings and a Funeral, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and upcoming Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time - is attached to direct the feature.
Bruckheimer told Sci-Fi Wire that Pirates of the Caribbean writers Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio had worked with other writers and Johnny Depp on The Lone Ranger to create "something that has a kind of true-to-the-western [feel], but adding other additional elements like we did with Pirates so it won't be just a straight-ahead western."
As for the casting of the Ranger, he said: "We're still creating a pretty wide net and figuring it out. It comes down to who »

Jake Gyllenhaal puts on his sexy face in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
Photo: Walt Disney Pictures I'm not much of a gamer, and that may in fact be an understatement considering in the last few years the only games I have played and finished are "Gears of War," "Burnout," "Uncharted," "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" and just a couple of days ago "Uncharted 2." I don't know where that places me in the gamer revolution, but considering that's about 6 years of gaming outside of playing a little "Tiger Woods," "NBA Street" and "Hot Shots Golf" I would say I am on the outside looking in. However, I'd like to think I know enough to at least open up a discussion concerning the growing trend of adapting video games into feature films, primarily based on the recently released trailer for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, a film »

'Prince of Persia' Won't Feature Sand Monsters
5 November 2009 1:19 AM, PST | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »
Giving first looks at the magical dagger, Jake Gyllenhaal's Dastan, Gemma Arterton's Tamina and the action-packed adventure they are in, the newly-released official trailer for "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time" also showed a lack of demonic creatures. In an interview with IGN, creator Jordan Mechner confirmed that "there are no sand monsters in the movie."
"For the game, turning everybody in the world into sand monsters was really useful because it created an inexhaustible supply of enemies," the screenwriter explained on the reason why. "But that's a story that's meant to be played with a controller in your hand, and a movie is meant to be shared by an audience. So we didn't want to make a movie about fighting monsters."
On the action sequences, the video game designer gushed, "The parkour here is very exciting, very extreme." Producer Jerry Bruckheimer chimed in, "We brought in the key experts out of France. »

Yesterday Walt Disney Pictures released the official movie trailer for Mike Newell's big screen adaptation of the popular video game Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Today a new international cut of the trailer has been found online at TrailerAddict. The trailer features a bit of new footage, and is a completely different edit.

Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time Trailer Goes Live
3 November 2009 3:10 AM, PST | Screenrush | See recent Screenrush news »
Our first reaction on seeing the first trailer for Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time was, well, a bit meh! But then we remembered that's exactly what we thought about the original promo for Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl, and we all know how well that turned out!
So, for now, we're gonna overlook some of the dodgier aspects of this first look at director Mike Newell's big-budget adaptation of the beloved computer game series and focus instead on what is sure to be a rollicking good adventure.
Jake Gyllenhaal stars as the roguish Dastan, a former street urchin who inadvertantly gets hold of a magical dagger, hooks up with a lovely princess (Gemma Arterton) and falls foul of an evil wizard (Ben Kingsley).
Take a look at the trailer below (or in high-res here) and don't forget to let us know your thoughts in the comments section. »
