If this movie had Rip Torn, I'd already have a ticket in my hand.

Based on the footage I've seen and the games I've played, a vizier in Persia is ALWAYS an a-hole!

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. =\

Too bad this is not the current PoP, they could've cast Olga Kurylenko, she probably would've worked for Elika.

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, 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.

Persians are Caucasian. Jake fits the bill just fine.

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...

What's that bulge in his pants...?

I think the Prince is having a royal boner.

It looks like he just took 10 showers (aside from his hair). Hopefully this is before anything happens in the film.

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.

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!?!?
