Jake Gyllenhaal is the Prince of Persia
Jake Gyllenhaal has been crowned the Prince of Persia!
The 27-year-old actor and Gemma Arterton, who stars in the new James Bond film, will take the lead roles in the fantasy adventure, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, which starts production in July.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, “Gyllenhaal will play Dastan, a young prince in sixth century Persia who must join forces with Tamina (Arterton), a feisty and exotic princess, to prevent a villainous nobleman from possessing the Sands of Time, a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world.”
Last month, it was reported that Orlando Bloom would take on the role.

Disney made a big mistake by not offering the role to Orlando Bloom, and giving it to this guy Jake. Orlando has the experience and can fill the seats in the theater. Disney just plain messed up!!!!!!
Is this an animated movie like cartoons? Or will it be real people with computer animated action?
HE DOESNT LOOK PERSIAN, SORRY HE ISNT ATTRACTIVE AT ALL, HAVE ANY OF YOU GUYS ACTUALLY SEEN A PERSIAN GUY?? THEY ARE SOO HANDSOME!!! COLLIN WOULD HAVE BEEN A BETTER CHOICE!!!!!!

you sound so rediclous, the iranian president is not a prince, this movie is based on iranian prince years , and years ago , prince is not like what it is now, and the iranian prince didn’t look like that years ago , you’re so , confuesed, and mixing the issues.
Did I say the Iranian President was a prince? NO. So the lead is an “Iranian Prince”. So what? You think you know what an “Iranian Prince” looks like? Did you ever see one, “years ago”? NO. I am not confused, my dear, but YOU are.
Actually to look like an “iranian Prince” all you need to do is wear a lot of facial hair. Big beard, moustache, etc., and voila, there is your Persian Prince. Jake can grow a lot of facial hair. Ergo he can be a Persian Prince without problem. LOL
Or get Reza Shah himself. He doesn’t have much to do except try to get the US to overturn the regime in Iran and install him (another stupid mistake like the last one we did) as Shah in Shah.. He could do the movie and then get Bush to attack and install him. Hey, but Bush might be out of office before he finishes the movie. Better get made the new Emperor of Iran first, and THEN do the movie. LOL
im so excited for this movie, i dont care who plays the prince, i cant wait dor this movie, i loved the video game when i was growing up.

The archaeologists can find any document about king David or Salomon. There isn’t regist of them. The book of Moses are a copy of Gilgamesch from Mesopotania.
All the story of old testament are false. The history are copy of several mith of Greek mythology and another civilization.
There are regist of life of Jesus Crist. There are 20.000 handwritten about Jesus but the others characters of bible don’t exist register.
The jews are people whose don’t explore another country or unknown places in the world. They live where the others people living. In modern times too. They never went like Colombo to America….or with Livingstone in Africa or with Capitain Cook to discover Hawai, Australia and Antartic…
In ancient age the culture of Egypt, the Roman, the Greek dominated. In midle age the Catholic church! The modern age the french culture and the French Revolution in our age the german, french and english culture. The european have their folk everywhere .
solaris sorry! The jews wasn’t anywhere by anciet age only in this small place in Asia. The Archaelogist Israel Finkelstein say that the written of anciet people in Canaa and old Israel is very similar with hebrew language. It means that the jew people lived always in Canaa. This story with Abraham isn’t true too!
They are beautiful stories for children!

A man of Hispanic or Latin heritage is a much better choice to play a Persian than a guy that looks like jake.
Jake is totally wrong for this part.
———————————————————————————————–
i agree with you as an persian , jake is wrong for the part but not for the reason you think, jake is wrong beacause his facial features doesn’t resemble persain prince at all.
and you could n’t more wrong in saying A man of Hispanic or Latin heritage is a much better, don’t comment about a subject you know nothing about,
hispanics or latinos are brown people , persians are from white race from ARIA descend and latino can’t play the part, you don’t know any thing about presian prince.
to : molly
molly i could kiss you for that comment , I’M PERSIAN and as a persian girl i know , not orlando , nor jake ( with harsh facial feature , big nose tin lips and small eyes) , they don’t look like persian prince at all , i know the only actor who has fare skin, but with dark soft stright hair and his facial features, and his body shape( remmber him in alexander) which resembles a persian prince,and is so perfect for the role would be COLIN FARRELL, and with him the charactor would be more believable to the audience which should be the main interest, any other actor would be a very big mistake.

OF COURSE I KNOW ABOUT PERSIAN PRINCE YOU IDIOT , I’M A PERSIAN , DON’T COMMENT ABOUT A SUBJECT YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IN YOUR CASE , FIRST GO READ A BOOK OR TWO. BEFORE COMMENTING, YOU SOUND SO STUPID.
to #85 angel
it’s ARYAN descent, just like Hitler………
try to improve your English
TO # 88
I DIDN’T SAY ARYAN (WHICH IS A NAME OF A PERSON) , I SAID ARYA ( IS A NAME OF DESCEND) . YOU ARE SUCH AN IDIOT, GO READ A BOOK .
AND NO THEY ARE NOT LIKE HITLER , YOU IDIOT, BUT THEY WERE FROM GERMAN, I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU,
IRANIAN CALL THE DESCEND ” ARYA” BUT OTHER PEOPLE FROM OTHER COUNTRIES IN THEIR BOOKS THEY WRIGHT IT AS ” ARYAN” , BUT THE CORRECT WAY OF SAYING IS THE WAY A PERSIAN SAYS IT , WHICH IS “ARYA “, NOT OTHER PEOPLE SAY IT, WHICH THEY CALL IT ” ARYAN.” .
AT LEAST YOU LEARNED SOMETHING TODAY.
to : sweetie
you sound so mad, are you jealous of iranian, sounds like it , go get a life. i have a feeling who you are and where you are coming from. but no need to insult iranian out of jealousy and your madness.
obivously you don’t know about the subject as a persian does, it’s so funny , you are telling an iranian how to say or pronounce their own descend, get a grip, don’t make a fool of yourself., just try read and learn a thing or two.
To # 89 and 90
thanks so much for teaching me something; now just relax, take your medication and improve your English
OF COURSE I KNOW ABOUT PERSIAN PRINCE YOU IDIOT , I’M A PERSIAN …
I think you mean Iranian, do you not? The country is not called Persia any more, or didn’t you know that? The question is do you LOOK Persian, or Iranian, and what do they look like. Is there one “Persian Look”, or many? Do all “Persians” look alike? I presume you have lots of facial hair; that seems to be the essence of the “Persian” look. LOL.
TO : # 92
NOW THAT YOU LEARN SOMEHTING TODAY, YOU CAN TAKE YOUR MEDICATIONS NOW AND TAKE SOME CLASSES TO IMPROVE NOT ONLY YOUR ENGLISH BUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE AS WELL AND YOU’RE VERY WELCOME.
Rumour has it that Bloom was never linked to the project and Disney wanted Jake from day one. Apparently they want to do a three part series (like POTC). If the first movie is successful then they’ll do two more. If thats true, then it means Disney has far too much money riding on the project to even consider an unknown actor.
Also, the movie is based on a game, not an ACTUAL Persian Prince. In the game the prince is actually an orphan commoner so nuts to a lot of you. I reckon Jake could pull this movie off. He’s talented and dedicated enough and he’s been in training to buff up for a while now. He’s looking rather muscular.
don’t pretend your persian, persia ( which they use to call it long long time ago before it split to so many countries because of the arabs and Greek ’s attacks. ) you don’t need to teach me about persian history , i know it all the main thing is do you know,it which i highly doubt.
you asked do i look like iranian or persians,( before arabs and greek and other neighbour’s attack, which used to called persia , people had blond hair blue eyes with no exception, then after attacks, the arabs and greeks each time they attacked they raped women and killd the kids and the men and that’s how the new generation little by little changed in look and they changed from blond and blue eyes to darker hair and eyes color, beacause arabs and greek and other countries who attacked persians had dark hair , skin and eye color).
each time they took a part of persia and persia became smaller and smaller after each attack. finally what left of persia is what they call now , iran, still iranians are mostly white people , with light hair but a small percentage have darker hair because of those attacks.
so when they say persian prince they mean a prince from the time before attacks happend which was not mixed with the arab’s or greek or extr……
so the prince has to have the qualities that a prince had at that time.
to answer your question, no i am one of those that born with blond hair and green eyes and with a very fair skin the same goes with my family,
iranian are not like arab countries or greek or iragi’s or pakastani or afakhanetani , they are different get it through head, either you don’t know it or you’re so jealouse, get over yourself and stop jealousy.
and no jake is not right for the part , at all not look wise and talent wise, the reason the producers of the movie chosen him for the part has nothing to do with looks and talent (as you said it they can change him to fit the part rather choosing somebody who really fits the part) they just wanted the part to go to a jewish actor , not that any thing wrong with it but that’s hollywood, and denying it would show your stupidity that’s all.
I FOR ONE AM NOT GOING TO SEE IT , CASUSE I DON’T THINK JAKE IS RIGHT ONE FOR THE ROLE.
Maxie, no one cares if you go see it or not, idiot.
#86, Jake does not have small eyes. What are you talking about #97? Why would Jake being half Jewish have anything to do with him getting this role?
Thank you #95, you are a voice of sanity and reason around here with so many ignorant and insane posters.
TO : SAM
but i’m not going to be the only one, there are a lot of other people who feel the same way , which adds up.
