I hope they dont screw this up. It Should make a decent film in the style of the Pirates films.

Common sense is yelling "BOMB!" in my ears, but if it has the same style and occasional wit of the actual Sands of Time game, I'm sold.

Ethan youre the best for reminding me of tony jaa, him with a beard and longer hair (which he can pull off btw)would be perfect for the prince.

Trouble is, Prince of Persia is not a buddy flick. It's just Prince...and traps...
It will seriously suck if they change it up so that Prince has this ragtag group of lozers that follow him around and make silly one-liners.
This is not going to end well.

The game itself was very cinematic. I think it could be a great film.

Well, in Sands of Time, he kind of let out a one-liner or two once in a while. He had a kind of Spider-Man vibe to him.

Out of all the video game movies this one might work because its not
a movie based off of a video game that its concept and plot has been
done in a million movies. All we usually end up getting is another movie
about aliens invading the earth, zombies roaming the earth,
mercanaries and assassins blowing up the earth, or archeologists
exploring the history earth.

Between making movies based off 80's toys (GI Joe - Summer 2009, Thundercats, He-Man + more in the works) and the endless line of greenlit-but-rarely-successful video game movies I'd say Hollywood has officially run out of creativity.
Maybe if the writers get paid more they'll try harder. I still say the sure-fire moola game movie would be Zelda, but unfortunately they'd let Ridley Scott do it and we'd end up with Legend 2.

At least it's not the director of Order of the Phoenix. It's got to be the worst one of the series. Co-written by the creator of PoP...should be fine (hope he didn't sell his baby).

Hahaha, I'm not sure what to make of this. Goblet of Fire was campier than Spider-Man. If this is packed with half as much unintentional hilarity as GOF, hoo-boy...

Actually, I thought Goblet of Fire was the best of the Harry Potter movies. Then again I feel like none of the movies have done a good job yet. It's ok if you make the movie more than three hours long guys, it seemed to work for LotR.

You must be kidding me...
All the Harry Potter movies are an ABOMINATION. They're not even close to the books in any shape or form that matters. God the last one reeked of bullsh*t and was a complete disgrace.
PLEASE GOD DO NOT LET THIS HAPPEN.

With all that choice, why'd they have to pick the director of the very worst HP film?
