I have my fingers crossed. I am not expecting much. But hopefully it is as fun as the first pirates film.
-
yum
-
..turn off the brain and enjoy film...liking it! Yup yup! :)
-
This looks gayer than two cowboys fucking on a mountain.
-
Who can even predict shit anymore...but boy, this looks bad.
-
stupid when Harry types it, but all kinds of hilarity if Ebert ever types it.
-
-
....when did Disney become the must see action movie company?... and is Jake is gonna be typecasted as a guy who can travel back in time to save his gf who he has only known for three days
-
than the last trailer. There's potential for a few moments of this film that might actually be kinda fun. I'll try to be optimistic.
-
Ehh, makes sense
-
Why are we rehashing video games, toy lines, and Amusement park rides. Has the Hollywood idea machine finally tapped out??? Are there no orignal idea's anymore. The thing that bothers me most is this is going to ruin my love for this video game. (The old one on the Commodore 64) We had it made 2 years ago with There Will Be Blood and No Country.
-
Looks like that will be the highlight of his 2010.
-
Because the Sands of Time game had sand monsters/demons. (adjusting nerd glasses)
-
had to be every other sentence typed in the script! The other sentence must have been ADD DIGTAL CAMERA SWOOPING AROUND SCENE.
-
-
I bet she double crosses him. I miss PoP on the Amiga but this looks pretty gash.

INSERT SLOW MO 'MATRIX' SCENES OF EVERY PROJECTILE KNOWN TO MAN
by CENOBITE
"BOO..." to fake accents, unless they are Pirate.
-
More Tron. More Clash of the Titans. More Iron Man II.
-
So it's the one time he can use his own accent and no-one will give a shit. I wouldn't have anyway.
-
How dare they even associate this slop with PIRATES - bruckheimer should be embarrassed.
-
Seriously. Fuck, Disney, you just couldnt have TRON LEGACY released May could ya? This movie looks so boring and repetitive.

"BLOODY 'ELL GUVNOR! I'M A BLEEDIN' PERSIAN!"

Why does any film concerning any ancient empire have British speakers? For example, anytime Rome, Greece, or Arabia is portrayed. Can't they have people with local accents? I understand this in movies like The Mummy, when there are Americans and British people exploring Egypt, but this pisses me off.

That looks CLASSICALLY awful. On a fundamental level
by IndustryKiller!
Like mst3k bad. Which of course means Americans will scurry like rats to see it. Gyllenhaal seems to be in on it though, whether that excuses it or not is another question.
-
because they used to run an empire. Think of the many reasons John Wayne's accent as Genghis Khan was a fail.
-
Gyllenhall had a great start with Donnie Darko, but since then I have not been impressed with anything he's done, with the exception of Jarhead. He's no action star, but then neither is Sam Worthington... Or maybe I'm just annoyed by their semi-beard.
-

C'mon Gyllenhaal is at least better than Worthington
by IndustryKiller!
Although I agree neither is an action star. But at least Gyllenhaal can act.
-
That trailer looks bad? but then you say you cant wait for Tron Legacy, even tho you havent seen a trailer?... gosh, you geeks are really stuck in the past... but i cant wait for Daft Punks contribution
-
And just stab him right in the face?
-
For some damn reason, that voice is the voice in the game. Weird brit inflection and all.
-
-
Is the chick who won't shut up. I actually felt like punching her in the face based on those two minutes... imagine how tired I'll be of her after two hours. Chicks who talk endlessly piss me off. Ask my girlfriend. Or wait... don't.
-
fact
-
Will steal this movie's lunchbox.
-
Johnny Depp's performance.

I kind of agree with some of you. This could be BAD.
by The Reluctant Austinite
BAD in a Razzies kind of way. The accents. The crazy, non-stop cam. Of course, I felt that way about Stephen Sommer's "The Mummy" too, and everybody liked that (enough to support two sequels anyway).
-
and I went to future. There I saw Jake Gyllenhaal crying and accepting a Razzie at the same time. I also saw Jerry Bruckheimer doing some blow talking to Disney on the phone about an action heavy Teacups movie.

I'll hold out for a Darksiders or Bioshock Movie adaptation inst
by Stalkeye
-
man, he doesn't even look persian. They should just give him a super FOB accident, at least then it would be entertaining
-
-
-
I've written that headline before...It just makes me giggle.
-
And that's WITH the understanding that trailers can be very deceptive.
-
...it's a video game movie. If you set the bar appropriately high, this has at least a 50/50 shot at being decent. Jake G's accent is no better or worse than the guy(s) doing the voices for the actual games. If they can manage to recreate a certain Pirates of the Carribbean-esque sense of fun, the film will fill a certain niche.
-
has GOT to be the worst delivered line in a big budget movie this year. And trust me, I will not be pushing my luck by seeing this turd.
-
...would have more substance, than Prince of Persia.
-
"Dawn of War."
-
We need a sequel to The Golden child.
-
...that this looks like what Pirates of the Carribean would have looked like without Johnny Depp's performance---bland, boring and as junky as the last potato chip you just ate.
-
-
Plus, PG-13 action sucks major ass.
-
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ....huh uuh oh wait Jake Gyllenhall is in this mo.............zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

You are gravely mistaken. Just because they live in the Middle East doesn't mean that Persians (Iranians) are Arabs. They are of Aryan descent and except for those who live in the south of the country, they are light-skinned and they are definitely “Not” Arabs, (Actually Iranians have always disliked Arabs throughout history). Of course, they are not as white as those in north of Europe but If you just walk in Tehran and Athens streets you wouldn’t see any difference between the way Iranians and Greeks look. That is why the prince does not look like Arabs in the games and that is why he shouldn’t look like Arabs in the movie. You know, it would be helpful to you to get out of your caves sometimes, stop playing video games for a minute and do something different for a change, like going to your history class in elementary school!
-
if this were to be taken literally then all Star Wars films for example should have been in subtitles with some funky language spoken only in a galaxy far far away....unless they just happened to speak English in an American accent in a galaxy far far.....c'mon! suspend disbelief... until after....then you can slate me for it being a crap film! *maybe* :)p
-
...he's been taking elocution lessons from Clive Owen. Who the hell thought *that* would be a good idea?

mehrabix..if other people here are "ignorant fools"..
by The Dark Shite
Then how come you don't know the meaning of the word Aryan?<p> Being of "Aryan descent" doesn't mean "light skinned" (unless you're Hitler who misunderstood the concept). Aryan refers to the groups of people (including Persians & some Indians), who shared a common ancestral language. Nothing more, nothing less. So being "Aryan" has no bearing on skin colour at all.
-
It DOES have a bearing on skin colour. In the sense that their skin colour would almost in all cases, be darker than say, Anglo-Saxons. <p> Not that it matters much. Just saying. It amazes me how ever since the 1st TB for this movie, people have been coming here saying "Persians are white!" Or I'm Persian & white because we're Aryan". <p> Persians may well have lighter skin than Arabs, but Aryan doesn't mean that at all. Never has.
-
Not sure about this one, give me 'Clash' over this any day.
-
i.e 3 hours of Gyllenhaal plummeting to his death or being impaled on spikes.
-
n/t

If Newell won more creative battles on this, it might be a good night out. I loved what he did with HARRY POTTER. But if Jerry won those battles, we will be in for another PIRATES. By which I mean shit. Shit, shit, shit. Too many special effects. Rubbish characters. (And yes I include Depp.) A terrible sense that the filmmakers are winking at you. No control over tone. And long. Very, very long.
-
Here is a video from the first game:<p>http://tinyurl.com/yg22tbx<p>You can follow the related videos links to get some more. Judging from the character's look and sound in the actual games I don't see much of an issue here.
-
The games story was simple, elegant, and more than enough to hang the action pieces on, but no that isn't enough for the BIG HOLLYWOOD MOVIE! Oh man, he's a Prince, but he should be more accessible, make him an "Orphan" destined to greatness by the Gods - that is so much better than just having him be an actual Prnce. I guess they can explain why an Anglo is a Prince of Persia though, eh?
-
"That Girl" is in Clash as well. Guess that one will suck for you too.
-
And, of course, Zooey for LOIS!!!
-
Gyllenhaal's accent. He delivers his English lilt beautifully. He's an amazing talent, and this film looks like popcorn fun. AND THAT'S ALL.
-
A Sound of Thunder, Blood Rayne, Love Guru, and now a Pirates of the Caribbean wannabe flick?
-
It looks stupendously bad ass to me. Bruckheimer has a more than good track record with making these giant ass movies entertaining. And all of you who keep going on about how un-Persian Jake looks really are pretty clueless. Do some research before you start making comments about race and physical attributes thereof. Anyway, this is very much how I wanted most of the fantasy movies of the last 10-15 years to look and nearly all of them failed. So count me in on this one.
-
Jake Gyllenhaal to save the mutherfuckin day, yeah!
-
than the previous one. I'm game to see this film.
-
Looks real good. 3 movies booked for May. Iron Man2, Robinhood, Prince of Persia.
-
How did Jake get this part or any other?
-
It's a fluffy popcorn action fantasy movie, and for that, the trailer sold it for me. Plus Jake is hot.
