Sometimes, when a story comes in to Joystiq HQ, we get so excited we can hardly keep from spinning wildly in our chairs, laughing maniacally as if we were the villain in a bad sci-fi movie. Well folks, today is one of those days, for your little sister just found something awesome to print out and cover her Trapper Keeper with: shirtless Jake Gyllenhaal. That's right, new images from Prince of Persia have made their way online and Jake is looking cut. See for yourself past the break.

I don't want to look, but I can't look away

hahahhaa
Rhamsey @ Mar 9th 2009 1:43PM
agreed, its so odd to see him so... beast master like.
David Hinkle @ Mar 9th 2009 3:16PM
If this movie had Rip Torn, I'd already have a ticket in my hand.
dabamf @ Mar 9th 2009 12:24PM
Based on the footage I've seen and the games I've played, a vizier in Persia is ALWAYS an a-hole!
AwesomeTown @ Mar 9th 2009 12:25PM
I'm looking really close because I'm counting the pixels, I swear.
WINterfang @ Mar 9th 2009 12:33PM
I haven't feel so uncomfortable since I was watching Hugh Jackman on the oscars.
Dirty @ Mar 9th 2009 12:40PM
Dont go all brokeback on us.
Linkario @ Mar 9th 2009 5:49PM
I knew he could do it! You know, make something gayer than broke back. Way to go jake!
Deeznuts420 @ Mar 9th 2009 12:25PM
seems like he wants to say "omg those jewels are to die for!"
MikeO. @ Mar 9th 2009 12:48PM
At least he won't need to worry about dying as long as he has his magical dagger.
I so wish they would have just retold the Sands of Time story, but from everything I've read and seen, it doesn't look like that is the case. =\

Run along some walls already!

Spoof of a Simpsons quote in 3... 2... 1...
Dan Rabot @ Mar 9th 2009 12:35PM
I'd rather see topless photo's of his sister Maggie. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Kodros @ Mar 9th 2009 12:45PM
I wouldn't...and I'm not gay.
kentuckyfried @ Mar 9th 2009 2:23PM

Too bad this is not the current PoP, they could've cast Olga Kurylenko, she probably would've worked for Elika.
Kyle @ Mar 9th 2009 6:51PM
You sound dissapointed, which is of course MADNESS!
Dan Rabot @ Mar 10th 2009 8:07AM
Voted down? Have any of you seen the Secretary??!? jeez!
Or perhaps you accidently voted me down while thwack thwack thwacking to Jake's photos?
Tha0racle @ Mar 9th 2009 12:35PM
Eh if he was broke no one would care but since he is a rich young celebrity every girl gets wet when they see him..
WINterfang @ Mar 9th 2009 12:41PM
He got rich because he was hot, so I'm pretty sure some girls got wet before he was famous.
Also he is a good actor.
David Hinkle @ Mar 9th 2009 3:18PM
Have you seen Bubble Boy?
NoughtSoClever @ Mar 9th 2009 3:34PM
he'll always be Donnie Darko to me.
F1 Gamertag: Cadablog @ Mar 9th 2009 12:36PM
*URP*
Vegnagun bwf @ Mar 9th 2009 12:39PM
I wish the Prince would just wear a shirt.
Dralthi @ Mar 9th 2009 12:46PM
I'm actually rooting for this film. Gyllenhall looks very much like the Prince from the last-gen trilogy of games which is a good thing in my opinion. It's hard to see him as an action hero though with his current resume of work. I always see Bubble Boy and Donnie Darko every time I see him.
If Bruckheimer is giving this movie the Pirates of the Caribbean treatment then I'm sure it will, at least, be entertaining. Here's hoping!
Temidien @ Mar 9th 2009 1:10PM
Gyllenhall is the whitest guy in cinema. How exactly does he look Persian?
Brucie_K @ Mar 9th 2009 1:14PM
Temidien, if you weren't so ignorant enough to watch ''300'' and assume all Persians look hairy and brown-skinned, you would know that Jack is a fine choice to portray a Persian man.
Brucie_K @ Mar 9th 2009 1:14PM
Meant to say *Jake, my bad.
Fx.Dr @ Mar 9th 2009 1:17PM
@Temidien
Persians are Caucasian. Jake fits the bill just fine.
Temidien @ Mar 9th 2009 3:25PM
Wow, Brucie, calm the f down. It's so easy to call someone ignorant for making any racial comment, but try to stay with me here before you stereotype me.
Most of the Persians/Iranians I've met (yes, I understand that Iran is not exclusively Persian) have fairly dark complexions and while they may have facial features that look very Caucasian, their skin tone is significantly more brown than Jake's (his Malibu tan doesn't count). As with any nationality, I know that this does not indicative of the entire nation.
The point of my comment was to question Jake's abilities as an actor to portray a prince who lived in the middle east a few hundred years ago (fiction). Most of his roles have been WASP by nature.
So IMHO, he is not fit for the role both physically and psychologically. Then again, it is a Buckheimer film, so expectations are low...
Brucie_K @ Mar 9th 2009 1:04PM
What's that bulge in his pants...?
I think the Prince is having a royal boner.
robotoid @ Mar 9th 2009 1:58PM
It's the magical dagger you rub to go back in time
Bang @ Mar 9th 2009 1:10PM
I want to rub up against him - there, I said it!
WiNG [XBL&Steam: WiNGSPANTT] from lifeinagame.com @ Mar 9th 2009 1:13PM
I clicked on this article too quickly to think about the fact that "Jake" is a guy's name.

john william @ Mar 9th 2009 1:15PM
My pants are filled with the blood and gibs of my exploded boner.
profeteer @ Mar 9th 2009 1:16PM
It looks like he just took 10 showers (aside from his hair). Hopefully this is before anything happens in the film.
koehler83 @ Mar 9th 2009 1:20PM
When's this Prince of Caucasia flick gonna be in theaters?
Temidien @ Mar 9th 2009 3:36PM
We're still waiting for Jake to get started on that tan, so who knows...
M. David @ Mar 9th 2009 1:55PM
As a happily married female gamer who would still put Christian Bale on her own trapper-keeper, I do not approve of these pictures. They are dull, and he is pale, and if we're having a PoP movie, I want a FREAKING HOT TANNED PERSIAN, DAMN IT.
Or at least someone that can fake it a lot more realistically. Like.... the guy that plays Sayid on LOST. Hawt. This is more akin to John Wayne playing Genghis Khan.
Geist @ Mar 9th 2009 2:25PM
Persians are not brown-skinned.
mds @ Mar 9th 2009 2:33PM
Can I still have a tanned guy that doesn't look like an American Eagle mannequin, though?
Temidien @ Mar 9th 2009 3:34PM
@Geist
Now whose stereotyping?
NoughtSoClever @ Mar 9th 2009 3:37PM
A good friend of mine is Persian. He is browner than me and I'm Mexican.

This is the worst post EVAR on this site.
Temidien @ Mar 9th 2009 3:34PM
Lame post is lame.
Dan Rabot @ Mar 10th 2009 8:18AM
For sure, this post made me want to stop coming here....
What has happened to our beloved ps3fanboy? Why is it now flamewars / homo photos fanboy?
Even the users themselves, most of the above users seem to LIKE this post and are bloody hard from seeing these pics? W.T.F!?!?
Joystiq becomes hommestiq.
Hashbrown Hunter @ Mar 9th 2009 2:54PM
Wow Joystiq, I send you tips on both this AND the Stranglehold film adaptation story and not even credit for one? LAME.
Oh well, this is too funny for one man to take credit for anyways :D
David Hinkle @ Mar 9th 2009 3:20PM
Actually, I didn't notice your tip. Sorry about that!
Blueberriouschickie @ Mar 9th 2009 3:34PM
I can't quit you, Prince of Persia.
H Choi @ Mar 9th 2009 3:38PM
That is so HAWT! OMG!
