No PRINCE OF PERSIA For Bay - More Giant F#*@ing Robots Instead!! The New PERSIA Master Might Be...


Merrick here...


We've known for a while now that Jerry Bruckheimer has been developing a movie centered around the successful PRINCE OF PERSIA video games.

Michael Bay was orbiting the project for a bit - many assumed his directing the film was a certainty.

However, seems Bay has opted to continue developing a TRANSFORMERS sequel instead - a project for which Production Designer Nigel Phelps (TROY, JUDGE DREDD, THE ISLAND and PEARL HARBOR) was recently recruited.

Seems Mike Newell has now been offered the PRINCE OF PERSIA gig. Newell directed HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE, and the forthcoming LOVE IN THE TIME OF CHOLERA.
