Video - 'Prince of Persia: The Featurette of Dastan'

The trailer for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time showed us quite a bit of action, looking every bit the Jerry Bruckheimer summer movie it's been designed to be. Now there's a new featurette that focuses on Dastan, the Jake Gyllenhaal character.
Gyllenhaal joins director Mike Newell and Lord Bruckheimer in talking a little bit abot the character and the genesis of the subtitle, The Sands of Time. There's also what I think is our first look at Alfred Molina, so that's good news for the ladies.
There appear to heavy doses of action in this flick, a lot of it performed by Gyllenhaal himself, and it also looks like it's following the formula of Pirates of the Caribbean, with more saucy humor that you might have originally expected.

Top Ten Worst Movies of 2009
**Disclaimer** This list is for entertainment purposes only. No studio is safe. No actor is safe. No movie is safe! You have been warned.What's more fun to read, the best movies of the year, or the crappiest movies of the year? I know as a writer, I Love listing the worst movies of the year. And 2009 had some pretty big stinkers. From failed comedies, (what a shock that a Kate Hudson movie would make the list two years in a row) to failed action flicks to unwatchable "arthouse", 2009 served up a big ol plate of dog crap. So sit back, relax and see if you agree with any of my choices. Yes, I'm well aware that there are 500 million movies out there that went straight to DVD. I'm only listing theatrical releases. I'm sure there are plenty of films I've missed or just didn't see.

‘Clash of the Titans’ Gets A Second Trailer

Louis Letterier’s new movie, Clash of the Titans, or as it’s come to be known on the Internet from the previously released trailer the movie where “Titans. Will. Clash” has a new trailer that finally gives me a reason to look forward to the film. No, it’s not Gemma Arterton, who will also be gracing us with her presence in Prince of Persia, or the giant CGI Kraken — though it does look cool.
No, it’s the appearance of Mads Mikkelsen, the cuddly villain that wept blood in 2006’s James Bond reboot Casino Royale. Clash of the Titans, written by the team of Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi (Aeon Flux and The Tuxedo), stars Sam Worthington, Gemma Arterton, Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes, Pete Postlethwaite (Romeo + Juliet) , and Danny Huston (X-Men Origins: Wolverine).

Jake Gyllenhaal stopped by the La stores Douglas Fir and Ok before heading back to his car with a few bags full of his purchases. He was by himself for the trip, but we'd gotten used to seeing Jake doing his shopping alongside Reese Witherspoon. Now that they've apparently gone their separate ways, they're each taking care of their holiday lists independently. Even without Reese next to him, we're sure to see lots more from and of Jake in 2010 - his Prince of Persia will be out and we're already being treated to some hot shirtless trailers.

Acclaimed producer Jerry Bruckheimer used the internet to find one of the stars of his new movie Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time - he hired a young actor using Facebook.
The Hollywood mogul needed to find a boy to play Jake Gyllenhaal's character as a youngster, and admits he turned to the web in a bid to discover the perfect candidate. And he found the right actor using social networking site Facebook.
He tells ShowbizSpy.com, "In the opening there’s a young man who portrays Jake Gyllenhaal as a young boy, and he was a Parkour (jumping and climbing sport) expert. And he’s ten years old. It’s amazing. Absolutely amazing. They sent us online, like Facebook, things of these kids and this kid was extraordinary so we hired him."

It was back at Comic-Con when we saw our first look at Tim Burton’s take on the world of Lewis Carroll. This latest trailer is much better than what we got then and really gives a better look and insight to the look and feel of the story, especially for those who are not aware this is a sequel of sorts, where Alice returns to Wonderland having already been there. The world looks great and all the visuals are much better than I had realized. I am really looking forward to seeing this film now especially in the 3D, which could be a lot of fun.
From Walt Disney Pictures and visionary director Tim Burton comes an epic 3D fantasy adventure Alice in Wonderland, a magical and imaginative twist on some of the most beloved stories of all time. Johnny Depp stars as the Mad Hatter and Mia Wasikowska as 19-year-old Alice,

Behind The Scenes Of Prince Of Persia: Check Out Jake's Abs!
16 December 2009 6:00 AM, PST

| See recent Cinema Blend news
»
Given that Prince of Persia: Sands of Time is a movie based on a video game, you'd think the target audience would be pretty aware of the fact that the movie consists of lots and lots and lots (and lots) of action. But Disney has debuted a new behind-the-scenes featurette for the film at Yahoo! Movies, and the idea basically seems to be "Hey, Jake Gyllenhaal does a lot of stunts in this movie! And have you noticed his abs?"
To be fair, the featurette also gives the first indication that this movie will have any real humor in it, including the trademark Alfred Molina befuddled laugh, and that looks a little more appealing to my eye than nonstop shots of Gyllenhaal running or jumping. Check it out for yourself below, and head to Yahoo! for the high-res version.

Amongst all the titles that flash up when we think about Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time - From The Team That Brought You Pirates Of The Caribbean - Directed By Mike Newell - From Producer Jerry Bruckheimer etc. etc. etc. - one of the things that we hadn't really considered was the fact that this is Jake Gyllenhaal's first outing as all out action hero... luckily the featurette Yahoo have launched this morning covers that very topic.
Having proved his mettle as a serious actor (eg. Brokeback Mountain) Jake's taking on the serious Hollywood swashbuckler stuff in his latest outing and it seems everyone (from producer and director to co-star Gemma Arterton) think he's great.
Check out the featurette and let us know whether little Jake Gillywilly's Prince is going to be a hit like Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow or a whopping miss like George Clooney

New Featurette for Prince of Persia

It’s ‘Disney Day’ here on HeyUGuys. Not only have we had the new trailer for Alice in Wonderland and some wonderful new photos sent to us by Disney, we also have this new featurette for Disney / Bruckheimer’s Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.
The featurette came out last night while we were sleeping and gives us a little bit of a behind the scenes look at the computer game adaption of Prince of Persia. In the footage, producer Jerry Bruckheimer, director Mike Newell, and main lead, Jake Gyllenhaal give us a little bit of information on Dastan (Gyllenhaal). It looks like an action fest!
Since I love all things Jerry, I am very much looking forward to this film which is set for release 28th May. I’m hoping we’ll be all over this one in 2010.

Prince of Persia Featurette Released

| EmpireOnline

It's one of those "featurettes" that's basically a slightly-longer-than-usual trailer with some behind the scenes glimpses, but given that we've only seen a teaser so far, this little Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time docco is worth a look.Producer Jerry Bruckheimer, director Mike Newell, and Prince Dastan himself Jake Gyllenhaal do some perfunctory plot explaining. There is much flinging of words like "destiny". We get to hear Jake's British accent again (and it still sounds quite good). We see Alfred Molina. And Gemma Arterton describes Jake as an "action figure". He's certainly looking sculpted.Action and humour are clearly the order of the day, if we hadn't twigged that already. But we hadn't quite noticed before just how much this seems to resemble The Scorpion King... Maybe that's just the trailer effect. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is out on May 28th next year.

New Featurette for Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time

I’m going to set aside my bitterness over the non-Persian Prince of Persia and my unwavering skepticism in video game movies to say that this new featurette for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time makes the flick look pretty darn fun. I wouldn’t rank it high on my most anticipated of 2010 list, but Jake Gyllenhaal, who plays the titular Prince, “Dastan”, looks like he’s having a good time, the action appears well-choreographed, and as long as the story isn’t completely rotten (and they have a good reason for why the non-Persian Gyllenhaal is playing the title character) this may turn out to be an enjoyable summer blockbuster.
Hit the jump to check out the featurette which focuses on the character of Dastan but also does a better job of selling the movie than the trailers. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time hits theaters on May 28, 2010.

More Prince of Persia Action in New Featurette

The Prince of Persia franchise is making a major splash in recent weeks in both the film and video game industries. With the first full official trailer for the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (the film) releasing at the top of November surrounded by rumors of a tie-in game by Ubisoft, the company that revitalized the franchise in 2003 with the game the movie is based on.
A few weeks later, the new Prince of Persia video game was (officially) announced unsurprisingly, although not a direct tie-in with the film (a good thing), it’s a sequel to the original Sands of Time game and universe, titled The Forgotten Sands with its lead character looking much more like Gyllenhaal’s on-screen version.
The first footage for the The Forgotten Sands game and a clip from the film were premiered at the Spike Video Game Awards this weekend by the Prince himself,
